Look Whoooooooo's One!!

Miss Katherine Crowe turned one last week. I can't believe that sweet baby has grown up so fast. It seems just like yesterday that her Aunt Blazer and I were racing to Birmingham to get our hands on her little teeny tiny self! Time sure does fly when you are having fun!!


Felix, Blair, and I of course had to be in on the celebrations. After having a wonderful evening in Auburn last Saturday night, we chose to hang around for the birthday bash on Sunday. Blair had her new smocked dress with tags still on it all crisp and clean for the party. We showed up just in time to get some cute pictures of the girls.



It is amazing that they are 4 months apart, but now they seem so much closer in age. Katherine still has to show Blair the ropes. If it's anything like her mama and I, then it will always be that way ;)


Martha, I mean Anna Kate, did such a fine job with the party. It was an owl-themed party (yes , us Chi-O's are physcho and admit it), and it was adorable. Everything from the cake, to the napkins, to the favors had owls on them. I mean EVERYTHING! One guest even asked Anna Kate if this was a sorority party or a birthday party; he can stick it ;) I would also like to add that the weather turned out remarkably well for the party. Anna Kate has always thought she had bad luck regarding outdoor events; especially since her wedding got rained out of her parents backyard. I think mother nature felt sorry for her this weekend and brought about a 2 hour span of sunshine just for the party!








We had such a wonderful time and before we know it, this will be Blair's one year party that I'm posting about. I'm not about to wish the time away though!! Speaking of Blair, I am behind on posting, but she turned 8 months last week. She is crawling and can pull up to a standing position. She has changed so much in just the past week! I will be sure to post some videos of her soon! Until then..............WAR EAGLE!!!

Last but not least...


Well, that's it. Summer is officially over. Not that it makes that much difference on how we live day to day around here, but it does make a difference in how many beach trips we get to take :) So here's the rundown on the last trip for the summer!

Diddy and Michele took us to Orange Beach the last week of August. It is an annual thing and we had such a wonderful trip. We always start off the trip with some wonderful prizes waiting for us on our beds. Blair got some cute clothes for fall, Mommy got a nice gift basket with all kinds of treats in it, and Daddy got to play three rounds of golf. He couldn't have been any happier! We had such a nice, relaxing trip. Paw Paw and Gina came for the last few days and we celebrated Gina's birthday. Thanks to our family for such a wonderful trip. We loved the gifts, the nice dinners, the lottery tickets (even though I didn't win), and the golf trips. We love this tradition and look forward to many more years to come.
