Jacey-Kate Turns ONE!

Our precious little girl is ONE. She survived us!!! Jacey-Kate's actual birthday was very low key. Russ and I woke her up by singing happy birthday to her and then the two of us enjoyed her day as we usually do playing, napping and eating. The following Saturday, we had her birthday party and it was a blast. Thanks to all her buddies and our friends who joined us to celebrate Jacey-Cakes. The party was supposed to be out by the trampoline in our neighborhood, but thank goodness it rained, so we had to move it inside where it was nice and cool. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I decided to have a 1st birthday party in the 90 degree heat. Never again. Our wonderful and generous friend, Lindsey McIntosh, took pictures for us. She's an amazing photographer, check out her work at www.lindseymcintoshphotography.com you just might want to book a session!!

4th of July

This past weekend was a blast here in Serenbe. We had our good friends, the Bozzas, down for the weekend which added to all the fun. Saturday Russ, Chad and our neighbor, Jeff, drove to Alabama and spent a ridiculous amount of money that was raised for the fireworks show on fireworks. They got buy one get one free fireworks, so if you're ever in the market for fireworks, go on July 3rd. That evening was the 3rd annual 4th of July Pot Luck at Lisa and Cindy's home in the Crossroads. There was great food and wonderful neighbors there, it was a lot of fun.

Sunday morning Russ took the girls blueberry picking and then we made blueberry waffles for breakfast. Mid-morning we decorated our next door neighbor's, Ross and Rebecca's, 1964 vw truck for the Chatt Hills Parade. The kids who live in our area of the neighborhood got to ride in the back of the truck while they threw candy out which mainly hit their parents in the head. :-) That night we cooked out at the Olsen's, two doors down and then walked to the Grange lake to watch the fireworks. I think our husbands had way too much fun shooting off all the fireworks, it was a great show which lasted for about a half hour.

Today we've been super lazy and have enjoyed hanging out on our front porch and napping while Jacey-Kate naps. Tomorrow we're headed to Six Flags for my 32nd birthday!!! What a weekend!!! We're looking forward to the arrival of our niece, Lily Anne, on Wednesday. But the most important event this week is celebrating Jacey-Kate's first birthday on Thursday! Lots going on in the Kiefer family....stay tuned.
