Alia's birthday take 3

We've had a great week spending time with Scott's family. Everyone came to Georgia to celebrate Alia and Aunt Laura's birthdays.


We enjoyed the weather and went for a walk and geo cache hunt.


Grandma Davis made Laura her favorite cake, German Chocolate and Scott and I made Alia a chocolate Tinker Bell cake.




Helping Daddy make homemade ice cream. We have tried to make a good mint based ice cream for awhile and have found that putting creme de menthe in the mix makes a great mint base.


Avery is showing Tony his mad boxing skills on the Xbox kinect.


Sweet moves Tony and Scott! They are dancing to Dance Central on the Xbox.


Alia and Avery love when Grandma, Grandpa, Laura and Tony come to visit because they have constant attention. Here Alia was baking different types of "cookies" with Grandma.


Here Avery is playing air hockey. When I showed him this picture he said, "I was too good for Grandpa and he didn't get any points."


They love playing with you silly Grandpa!


Avery is reading to Grandma.


One of their favorite games this time was when they played hide and seek. Grandpa and Tony would hide and then jump out and scare Avery and Alia.


Alia is hiding in the pantry.


On Sunday we packed up and headed to Callaway to enjoy the outdoors. When we got there it was wet out so we had our picnic in the Discovery Center.


This was a neat carving outside of the butterfly center.


There were a lot of butterflies flying around.


We were even able to see butterflies that had just come out of chrysalises.






For Alia and Laura's birthday we went to The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. Avery's favorite was the clowns.


I thought these tight rope walkers were impressive.


Alia's favorite act was the elephants.
