Our Secret Spot......well almost!!

Nick found this really really really cool little place a couple of weeks ago and we went there today to take some pictures along with about 600 people, so really it isn't our secret spot because quite a few people know about it too. This little place has the coolest wooden covered bridge which as you know there is not a lot of those around anymore. And there is a spot were you can sit out on the rocks and slide down them in this fairly large creek. We were bored today sitting around the house not doing to much and we thought that it would be fun or I thought it would be fun to go and take some pictures of our family there. We like taking pictures of our family, but we know that we are not even close to being photographers. So, Carrie Stroud if you are ever in our area.....you are hired...... and we will let you in on our little secret spot and you can REALLY do justice to how AWESOME this place is!! But, here is the damage that we did today and some of our favs. Enjoy!!

Davis turned F-R-E-E...

Can you believe it, we have a 3 year old or as Davis would call it F-R-E-E!! Davis' birthday was on Monday but we celebrated it last Saturday! It really is amazing how fast your kids grow up. I can't believe Davis was born 3 years ago....it is just crazy to me how time flies! Last year when Davis was turning 2 and at his birthday party we announced to the family that we were having another boy! We were so excited that Davis was going to have a little brother and a buddy. Davis is the sweetest, big brother. He really is and he is always trying to take care of Cole if he cries by telling him it is okay or putting Cole's pacifier in his mouth. He sits on the floor and plays with his toys right by Cole so he can watch and he even tries including Cole in his imaginary play by giving Cole a car or truck or plane or whatever he is playing with and he tells Cole what to do even though Cole just stares at him with the toy in his hand. If we are loading up the car to go somewhere he always ask "Cole coming?". I have yet to figure this one out because Cole always goes with us, but I guess he just wants to make sure!

Anyway for his party this year we just had some cousins come over to eat cake and ice cream with us. We decided not to do a huge Extravagant party this year that is why it is soooo nice having three Bettes families up here now. Davis is obsessed with the movie Cars, you know Lightning McQueen so we had a Cars party for him, in honor of his little obsession! His cousins Kinley and Logan bought him some cars from the movie and Tucker and Haley bought him a bike! We didn't even really have to get him anything because his cousins spoiled him enough....but we got him some random toys too! His Grandma and Grandpa sent him some money and when he opened the card "Ohhh...monies". Mimi asked Davis on the phone what he wanted and he replied with "presents and cupcakes". He is crazy.... It was a great party for Davis and he loves all his new toys and has learned how to pedal and ride his new bike already! We are looking forward to this next year and what challenges a F-R-E-E year old will bring!
