Family Pics

One of my favorites of Barbara, Elijah, and Charby. "Gam Ma", "Ya Ya", and "Charby" as Charby says..

The Howerton's of Raleigh...

The entire group..

When we got to the creek (see post below) we found crawdads. Then the hunt was on... How many crawdads could we catch.. Aunt Heather, Charby, Fallon and I (Laura) had no desire to play. I think Elijah would have caught them if he understood what was going on!! Next Year!

The crawdad catcher winners!!! Austin, Mariah, Kele and Nick.

Mini Family Reunion

We had a mini family reunion in Dahlonegha. It has been awhile since all the "Howerton"
boys have been under one roof. We had a blast!!

We went to the water park in Helen. It consisted of 4 slides.. perfect for 6 adults and 7 children!

Then we went to Aunt Carol's house to visit more cousins!! She has a creek in her back yard.
We found many treasures in the creek.

This is cousin Fallon.... She is around a year older than Charby. They got along famously.
She even spent the next week with us at our house.

Luke, Blaize, and Nick

Happy 2nd Birthday Charby!!

Happy Birthday to Charby.. I can't believe she is 2 today. We, of course, started the day on a sugar high.. Dunkin Donuts..

Cousin Kele suggested a butterfly cake and help me make it this morning. Charby has been saying "my bussy tate" all day long..(translation, my birthday cake") Ask her how old she is.. she will tell you.

Before heading off to the pool we had to take another look at the bussy tate.

Before the song, Everyone say cheese.. Charby is wearing her birthday princess hat. She LOVES it.

She eats her cake like a big girl, with a fork... Before she finishes she is asking for more da beans..(jelly beans). Happy Birthday my Precious little girl. I love you.

A No Haircut Summer

At the beginning of last summer, all the boys including Shelley got a crew cut. I was not that crazy about it. So I have declared this a NO HAIRCUT summer. I of course am in charge of cutting everyone's hair. I think it started because Charlotte needs a little trim, but Shelley protests... SO we will see who can hold out the longest... I will not cut the boys hair until I am "allowed" to cut Charby's hair. Shelley is already complaining about how hot he is... We will see..
