Kendall gets her ear pierced!

Check out how brave my girl was!!  

Papa's Boat

Kids had a blast on Papa's boat.  Not a fish in sight, but they didn't care. Thanks to Gammy and Papa for a fun morning on the boat!

Quite a driver!!


Gammy & Papa's in Georgia

Home sweet home!  I always love going back to GA and especially now with the kids, so they can spend time with Gammy and Papa and of course, Nate and Wesley.  We are getting a niece in December who Kendall has fondly named Rosabeth.  Ha ha!  How exciting to be adding another girl to  the family.  Congrats to Brad & Kim! We are blessed!

 Watching the Steam Engine Parade....the kids loved it!  I think they especially loved the candy  they caught! :-)


Getting a little exercise in at Catch Air....the kids always love going to this place when we visit GA.

Hilton Head Island

We got the kids over to the beach while we were at Mimi and Pap's.  Kendall and Jace were trying to hang with Zac, Kenz, & Ty on the boogie boards.  :-)





Fun in South Carolina!!!

The kids and I travelled to South Carolina and Georgia to visit Mimi, Pap Pap, Gammy, Papa and all of our cousins.  The 1st week, we stayed at Mimi & Pap Pap's house and went to Golf Camp.  Jace was such a trooper and was able to hang with the big kids, staying at camp from 8:15-3:15.  They learned a golf technique called Snag, played tennis, swam and made some cute crafts.  I know they will look forward to this again next year.  We also went to American Girl in Atlanta, and Kenzie and Kendall got the new girl of the year, McKenna.  Talk about ecstatic!  These girls were loving life.  We followed that up with a trip to Lego Land for the boys.  It was so much fun, but I must say, it definitely just wasn't for the boys.  I think the girls were loving life!!!  

A huge thank you to Mimi & Pap Pap for an AWESOME week!!!!

I loved this moment....Kendall meeting Jace for the 1st time.


Happy Father's Day! 2012

We love you Daddy!  The kids were so excited for him to open his gifts, that they told him what each was before he could get the wrapping off. :)


St. Pete's Beach, Florida~~ Vacation 2012

We decided to take a family vacation over Memorial Day weekend before things get a little crazy this summer with the possibility of moving.  We headed down to the Gulf for a week to Tradewinds Island Grand Resort.  The beaches were simply amazing....sugar sand beaches and light blue water....heavenly.  We spent a few evenings on the beach watching the sun set, & I must say, it was some of the best evenings we've had as a family.  I definitely would recommend this resort for a wonderful family trip.  The kids had so many activities to choose from but really preferred playing on the beach or in 1 of the many pools at the resort.  



Sunset.....ahhhhh.....


Keeping Jace contained for a bit


Water park in the ocean...notice my boat!
