The Tuesday after a Non-Monday

Rob and I spent a much needed long weekend at the beach for Memorial Day. It was really good to see Angie and we met up with some other friends while we were down there.

We get Jackson for our first week of summer this Sunday-- so let the fun begin! Actually this year is the first that I haven't planned a bunch of stuff for him to do while he's in Tuscaloosa. Rob will be taking him to the Alabama father/son basketball camp and we'll be doing Bible School, but that's really about it.

Jackson received honors this morning at his school Rocky Ridge. He was recognized as the third grade winner of the Finely Character Award (that is a really big deal in the Hoover school system) and also for having straight A's on his report cards this year. WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM!!!

Talladega 2007

Jackson and I have never been to a race- it was you first, and we all had a blast! We actually saw the Busch race on Saturday.

Jackson's Birthday Party

Jackson birthday was so much fun! We had 15 kids! Everyone got a water gun and a dive stick to play with in the pool and when the kids left, Jackson gave them one of those huge pixie stixs. Rob's mom made the traditional Colburn birthday cake- which everyone loved!

Getting ready to party...

Jackson turned 9 this past Tuesday and we're having a pool party this Saturday to celebrate. (The picture above is from last year's party which was an overnight camp out) Rob and I have been running around trying to get everything together- we're going tonight to get party favors.

Max, our six-month-old Shelty, has learned his first commands! He can now "sit" and "shake". I'm so proud!

Rob and I went to the beach this past weekend. (If you look really close, you can see us-- no not really-- but that is the view from the condo.) We ate dinner with friends Saturday night and they introduced us to this great little restaurant, Geno's. We're going back over Memorial Day weekend. Rob and I are both are off on Friday and Monday. Sea-N-Suds here we come, again!

Hey everyone-
I hope you enjoy our family blog. It's my goal to update it at least once a week-- but don't hold me to it!!
