Hayes Ross Lim

Welcome baby Hayes Ross Lim. 5lb 12oz, 19" long. Born November 23, 2010 at 6:25pm.

Christmas is here!

The annual christmas parade downtown is a family tradition. My family has been going for as long as I can remember and this year Ryder loved it even more. We saw Elmo, Shrek, Donkey, The Pink Pig and Santa!

Then it was time to get the tree. Ryder helped bring the tree in, put the ornaments on, and

he got to put the star on the tree!

And well....no comment on this outfit.

Happy Halloween!

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Getting ready for our Birthday party!

All of our friends came to play at the Ashford Park playground for Ryder's 3rd birthday. Gunner pushed the lawn mower around.

Olivia and Jackson came to join the fun.

and Owen Fry loved the pizza.

Ava and Lilly - Ryder's girls enjoyed eating apples.

and a spongebob pinata.

and a Shrek cake to top it off!

Happy bday baby!

It is safe to say Ryder had a blast and got to open way too many gifts after a much needed nap! what a day

Pink Pig

Its that time of year again, Pink Pig time!!! Ryder has been counting down the days so we decided to suprise him and take him to the opening night of the pink pig! Free rides, cupckes, face painting and balloon animals! What else could a 3 year old ask for?

Total amazement at how they can create a pig hat out of a balloon.

Pure happiness when they put it on your head.

Meet Hamilton Keats White

My newest nephew, Hamilton Keats White was born on October 22nd weighing 8 lbs 8 oz.

He looks just like his mommy and is perfect.

The White family boys.

It does not get much sweeter than this! Henry is already in love with his baby brother.

Waiting on baby White.

As we all anxiously awaite the arrival of baby White #2 we had one last full family brunch for Carrie's birthday before we have two more infants in the mix. We ate in Smyrna right next to the Dobbins Air Show which is a must see next year.

After filling our bellies we played outside, took many family pictures and let the kids run wild in the fountain while we watched some of the air show. What beautiful weather for a family get together.

We hope to meet baby White any day now!

Fall is here!

Getting ready for Halloween and enjoying the fall weather. First step decorate.

Second, fall festivals are a must. We had our first experience to the Pace Fair this year we will make sure we go every year! Ryder had the best time on the obstacle course. He started out on the zip line,

flew on the rope swing

landed in a sea of balls,

climbed through the tires,

and climbed the rope ladder to finish it off. I think we may need to build one of these at home!

Then the sweet police officer offered to let Ryder help him direct traffic to stop his very public meltdown over a bottle of gatorade.

Loving the fall!

Chattanooga

For Labor Day weekend we took Ryder to Chattanooga for the day. This was Ryder's first trip to one of my favorite cities and Scotty's home town. Everytime we go, we never want to leave so we made the most of the time we had. Being 7 months pregnant I opted out of the major attractions and we just hang out around town. First stop- rent a Funny Car - this is the best way to spend a summer afternoon. Wish they had them in Atlanta!

We took our funny car over the river to the Chattanooga Choo Choo so Ryder could visit all of the trains (his heaven). Not really the nicest place but plenty of trains to see and climb on.

Then off to get ice cream! "Mommy, I do not see the superman ice cream?"

Chattanooga is the perfect place to walk around. There is so much greenspace that it draws you in.

All along the river you keep coming across fun things to bang on, ride on or climb on. "Who made that noise?"

What is better than sharing a shaved ice by the river?

Off to the Children's Museum! This place was very cool. First stop- splashing.

Then riding in cars for about 45 min, making art, playing music and...

digging for Dino's!

We walked over to the River and missed the ferry by seconds. It was time to head home anyway. We can't wait to head back soon. Bye Bye Chattanooga!
