the 4th of july

We got a chance to go by and see Papa Pete, the boys Great Grandfather! He loved the hugs from Airey and all his talk about the Bulldogs!
Mommy and Airey with his first Sparkler! Thanks Conner and Stephanie!
His weed-eater googles served as welder/sparkler protection, LOL

Sweet baby Hayes

Happy fourth to you all! We had an amazing and exciting week and weekend! airey welcomed a new god-sister this week! Olivia Hayes Patterson was born July 2nd and weighed 6 lb 5 oz and was 20 in. Congrats Adam, Em,and Big Brother Gray! I also got to see Miss Georgia, Bonnie and Jason baby girl that was born June 29th who has been in the NICU b/c she was born at 29 weeks, but is 31 weeks now and doing GREAT :) She is just perfect! I has been such a blessed couple of weeks with these 3 new additions. Hayes, Georgia and our new nephew Cole are just little miracles and we cant wait to watch them grow and grow and one day all be playing together.

As for the big holiday....My mom "Mimi" took the boys for two nights so Roger and I could go to Terry's at Lake Caroline in Madison a few days early to go boating and have a little husband wife time. It was so much fun heading out on the lake with all our friends and hanging, grilling, dining and drinking (a little much of the Mayor's famous "1776er....erggh....hung-over" drink of the weekend) We picked up the boys Saturday and Airey had gotten into a fire ant bed and something else at Mimi's....so his foot looked super scary so we headed to the only open dr. on the 4th holiday and spent all day there trying to get seen....4 HOURS with two babies in a waiting room....yikes! Thank God Uncle Tip and Aunt Judy came up there to help us! The Dr. did a culture and believes airey got staff infection and gave him a shot an antibiotics. This of course was just par for the course after I got bit by a brown recluse and was in the Dr. 1st thing Monday and got 3 shots and on antibiotics too, what are the freakin ODDS...haha...Of course he didn't skip a beat! He got chocolate milk and a new weed-eater for being such a good boy at the doctor. When we got back Uncle Terry, Whitney, Dave and Julie took him to the Mermaid and out on the lake for a while and we took him to see his 1st fireworks. He lovvvvvved them! So it ended up being a great time with family and friends. Hope all our troops and men and women who fight and have fought for our freedom were in all our hearts that day and everyday and we thank you!
