Summertime Camping

Sunday night the weather was so mild for a southern summer night, so Robbie decided to make good on a promise he made to the kids. They set up the tent in the backyard & "camped out". I took this picture off the back deck. It had just gotten dark & the kids were in the tent by themselves. I thought it was so cute that all you could see were their two flashlights shining!

And, of course, POPCORN!!!

Six Flags Fun

On Wednesday Robbie took Rebekah and McKinney to Six Flags. Rebekah received a free ticket for all the reading she did during school & McKinney got a free ticket from a coupon I clipped off the inside of a Snicker bar ice cream box!!! Anyway, they had a great time. It was both kids first trip to Six Flags & all three (Robbie included) were exhausted when they got home!!

"I taught I taw a putty tat!!"

American Girl Joins the Crozier's

I have no idea where to begin with this wonderful adventure. Robbie's Mom wanted to take Rebekah to the American Girl store & surprise her with a doll. Last week she talked to Rebekah about the dolls & they looked through the catalog. Rebekah told her Gran that she was going to ask Santa for the Kit doll. Gran scheduled lunch for today and called ahead & had the doll waiting. Rebekah thought we were just going to look at the dolls and have lunch.

While she was looking around the store, Gran was picking up the Kit doll. Gran walked up with the "big bag" & let's just say I am glad I was holding the camera because I wouldn't want you to see me crying over this precious gift.

This is Rebekah realizing that the Kit doll is in the bag & it is her's!!!

They worked to get her out of the box so she could join us for lunch.

Rebekah and her American Girl!!

Rebekah, Gran, and Kit.

Rebekah, Kit, & myself.

They had little high chair seats for the dolls and even miniature menu's. Rebekah was reading the menu to Kit.

Notice Kit's plate.

Rebekah helped her "eat" her pretzels.

This is the hair salon. They have little salon chairs, capes, and every accessory you can imagine.

What a great day. I never imagined how wonderful this little trip would be. I am glad we waited until Rebekah was a little older, because she truly understands how special this gift is & she will appreciate it much more now than she would have even a year ago. Again, Rebekah is so very blessed to have such wonderful grandparents. This day will be imprinted in her memory for a lifetime, and for that I will be forever grateful.

Check out this sprinkler!!

Every Friday the Braselton Library hosts an event at the park for children through the summer. This week fire fighters came & showed the kids how everything on the truck works, especially the hose!!

It took McKinney awhile to get warmed up to the idea of being hosed down, but once he got started he had a blast!

Micah's First Salon Haircut

Well, I finally gave in & took Micah to have his haircut by a professional. After many months of not cutting it at all (my feeble attempt to create curls on the child), he desperately needed a trim. He did GREAT!! Didn't fuss at all, unlike his big brother :) I did leave it a little long in the back, just in case some curls decide to stay!!

4th of July Parade

For the last three years we have made a tradition of going to the Braselton Parade on the 4th. It only lasts 10 minutes and there isn't much to it, but the kids love it & so do I!!

Next year I will be so excited to see Ben, the newest member of the Segraves family, in this picture.

4th of July Fireworks

This year we enjoyed fireworks on the 3rd of July at the park in Sugar Hill. We went with the Segraves family & enjoyed every minute!! Micah loved the fireworks & wasn't the least bit scared, which made me very happy!!

Sparklers before the fireworks began - always a big hit!
