HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDIWEEZE!

Addie's First Birthday

Addie turned One Saturday. I can't believe it. She got a baby grand piano and a motorized jeep and various other stuff. Poor kid. We also had the pleasure of having Garner and Cindy up for the weekend. Gracie and Garner and Addie chased each other around the house, went for a swing and a slide, saw the cows and watched a Dora marathon. The party Saturday night was fun. Dad and I cooked alot of hamburgers and all the aunts and uncles came over. Addie felt well celebrated. Sunday afternoon Gracie returned to Jackson with Cindy and Garner. We're going to get her Friday.

Independence Day!

7-4-07

Fourth of July cookouts are becoming a bit of tradition here in Corinth. We spent the 4th at John and Paige Frame's cooking ribs, sipping cool drinks, eating ice cream and shooting fireworks. My ribs weren't nearly as pretty as John's, but I had a good time cooking them. The highlight for Gracie was the sparklers. If she burned one sparkler she burned twenty (in a row). The highlight for Addie was going to bed. For me it was hanging out with Frame and cooking ribs all afternoon while partaking the occasional beer.

For the third year in a row Big John hit the firework stand and put on a good show for everybody. After each explosion Gracie would yell, "Do it again Big John!"

Looking forward to next year.
