Holland showed a natural talent for casting her line in just the right spot. She obviously does not take after her daddy.
A.L.: "This walking thing sure beats getting dirty."

Wells: "Hey, Ducks! Come here, I want to show you something."

 

gorham's bluff

The view at Gorham's Bluff was tremendous.

Wells shows Daddy how easy it is to peel bark off the tree and enjoy it as a tasty appetizer.

Anne Lawson may have been the last to start walking, but she is coming along quickly.


Holland preferred to sit among the leaves and take in the view.

 

happy birthday to alex

We had a blast at our friend Alex's first birthday.

Its not a party without a hat.

Holland can't wait for the cake and goes straight for the cookies.

Wells just sits back and soaks it all in.

 

arkansas st v. auburn

It was not much of a game, but the kids were glad to all be together in Jordan-Hare Stadium with the Rogers family.
We decided to beat the traffic and left at halftime.

 

trick or treat

Our three little monkeys could hardly wait for their first chance to trick or treat.
Inspired by Rudyard Kipling, Wells proves that a monkey and a tiger can get along.

 

boo at the zoo

Our cousin was all shook up when he saw his name on a tombstone. Little Elvis was definitely the King of the Costumes at the Zoo.
Holland is such a cute little monkey.

Three little monkeys on the carousel, with only one little Aubie to comfort them.

Even Mommy and Daddy got to ride.

 

cake time

Holland has a hard time choosing her cake over her passie.


Anne Lawson meticulously samples her icing; careful not to get any on her birthday dress.


After some practice on Friday, Wells knows exactly how to handle his cake.

...and a "Touchdown Auburn" to celebrate his victory!

 

milestone photo

It's hard to believe it has been a year since these three were born.

 

lots of presents

Mommy tells Wells just how excited he is about getting a cute new outfit.

Holland actually takes time to read through the birthday cards.

A.L. uses her teeth to get into the action.

 

puppet show

Thanks to cousins Michelle, Rachel and Kathleen, and good buddy Rhys for putting on a great puppet show at the birthday party.

 

ONE already!

The kids enjoy some treats from V. Richards on their actual day (10/20).

Anne Lawson delicately selects the marshmallow ghost from atop her cupcake, causing minimal damage to the icing.

Wells tries to inhale the entire cupcake.
"Yes, I ate the whole thing, including the paper. You got a problem with that."

Holland is not quite as aggressive as Wells, but does not mind getting messy.

 

birthday privilege

Holland thinks because it is her birthday, that she can ride in the back of the car.
