Tis the season...

This has been quite a November! I'm sure you can tell because I stopped blogging right after Halloween! I'm not organized enough right now to put together some proper updates, but here's a few pics from Jake's phone. That seems to be our best way to capture life right now!

Earlier in November we celebrated Cousin Zoey's 3rd birthday. Her birthday isn't for a couple of weeks still, but we had fun celebrating her a little early a the ranch. I'll leave the details to Tee, but here is a pic of these two best friends enjoying some cowgirl fun!


Here's one super-cutie! Camille continues to be such a happy, smiling baby! She loves to play with her big sister and Honey, the dog:) Watch out world...this girl is already crawling! She doesn't have it down perfectly, but she definitely is crawling. Can't believe she's 6 months old and crawling already! I have a feeling this one is going to be a mover and a shaker!


We still can't get enough of that Tinkerbell costume! Here she is performing on her stage...aka the fireplace:)


Here's a few fun pics of little "baycamille" as Mavis says it. Baby Camille has become one word. ha!

Trick-or-treat, y'all

Halloween cuties

We had such a great Halloween this year! We began in downtown Lawrenceville at The Square. Christian City Church hosted a Fall Festival this year and the girls had so much fun! We met Tee, Joe and Zoey for a fun night of trick-or-treating, games, live music and free food:) We finished the evening off in our neighborhood after it got dark. Check out Tinkerbell and our adorable little Flower!

Party in the Park

Christian City Church held their annual Party in the Park at Suwanee Town Center. So much fun. Between pony rides, cookie decorating, face painting, and train rides..these girls were overwhelmed. A trip to the pumpkin patch topped off a fun Saturday!







This is the best pic of the two of them that we could get:) ha!

Beautiful Baby Ballerinas

Mavis started preschool a couple of weeks ago. As an after school activity, she is taking ballet! I'm so excited and have been waiting for this day for some time now. My sister and I danced while growing up and can't wait to Mavis and Camille to do the same. There is something about dance that helps little girls become young ladies:) She was adorable! Even though she was the youngest and smallest, she held her own. When she came out of class she ran up to me and said, "Mommy! That...was...SOOOO...fun! Can we do it again?!?" Here is a little video from her big day!

Yellow River Game Ranch

We headed to the Yellow River Game ranch on Labor Day. Probably the busiest I've ever seen it:) but, we had a great time nonetheless. Here's Miss Mavis feeding a few hungry animals...she has no fear. I think she'd stick her whole had in their mouth if we'd let her!

oh mommy...

First Day of Pre-School!!!

Mavis is officially a preschooler! I can't believe she is growing up so fast! She is attending at our church 2 days a week from 9:30-1pm. She was so excited to get started and couldn't wait to wear her backpack! :) Her teachers Mrs. Martha and Mrs. Nancy were so sweet and said that Mavis was very polite all day. Thank goodness practicing all those manners are paying off! Here's some pics of our little lady heading off to school! So cute...check it out!

Waffle House King

Well, all of Jake's wildest dreams are now a reality. He has always known he was the world's biggest fan of Waffle House- but, now, even Waffle House recognizes his love of greasy eggs and cheese! He has been chosen, unbeknown to us, to be the Waffle House Regular guy on the 55th anniversary collectors pin. That's right, folks! He is the official Waffle House mascot and reigning King of Cheese and Eggs. We couldn't be more proud! The funniest part of this whole thing is we had no idea this was going to happen! Read THIS for the full story.
Here is the pin and Daddy and Mavis celebrating their "celebrity status!" Ha! Good times at the Sumner house.

Are you kidding me??

Ok...I know she's mine, but...this kid is cute!

Miss Mavis had an amazing birthday! New school clothes thanks to her Mamy and more toys than a little girl needs-complete with Tinkerbell dress up gear! here's her latest photo shoot in her jeggings...and Tinkerbell...together!

Hipstamatic Fun!

Lady Bug Birthday!!! Mavis turns 3!!!

Yesterday we celebrated the sweetest little lady bug in the world! Miss Mavis turned three!!! Friends and family joined us to have a birthday party! What was supposed to be a pool party, began at the house due to weather. We shared some LARGE lady bug cup cakes, lots of munchies, went on a serious bug hunt-complete with bug catchers, and opened lots of fun bday presents. This was a girly day for sure! I didn't know so much princess stuff existed! Mamy, Gran and Grandaddy were all able to make it for the big day! Mavis was decked out in her adorable birthday outfit, thanks to her precious Gran! and Mamy provided most of the food! Thanks to everyone who made this little lady bug feel special on her big day! Mavis, we love you sweet girl! You are growing up to be such a beautiful, fun little girl! We love watching you grow and having you in our lives!


Enjoying some pre-party lunch with the g-parents! looking so cute in her birthday suit!

Family Beach Vacation 2010

We headed to Ponce Inlet, FL for our family vacation this year. To say we had a great time is an understatement. We had a blast! We began our trip with a little stop in Tifton for Grandaddy's birthday! The girls got to spend some time with two of their favorite people and Camille was able to meet some family for the first time!



Then, on to Florida! We couldn't contain ourselves! As soon as bags were dropped off in the condo, we headed out to see the beach! Immediately, it was clear! It was going to be a great week! Mavis had a blast jumping in the waves! and the weather was perfect!






The rest of the week was full of fun. We hit the beach every morning from about 9-2. Mavis could not get enough, but by 2pm, we were all ready for naps! The evenings were spent eating fried seafood and hitting the town. Mavis played putt-putt for the first time, and so did Camille-in the baby bjorn, or course:) By the last night we were pooped and decided on a family movie night in the king-sized bed instead of another round of putt-putt! Just as precious! Thanks to the Arnold family for letting us use their beautiful home! It was such a treat and made so many memories!
