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!!!!

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!

Our Anniversary Trip to Las Vegas!

We had the best weekend in Las Vegas for our 7th anniversary!  Our friends, Cathy and Curt, from Dallas joined us.  The cool part about all of us going together, besides the fact we have an absolute blast together, is that they celebrate our EXACT same anniversary....same year too! 

(A huge thanks to Gammy and Papa for coming out to watch the kids, so we could enjoy our vacation!)


Mandalay Bay Resort.....the beach/pool area...


Happy 7th anniversary to a man I am incredibly proud to call my husband.  I love you Jimmy!  Here we are about to enjoy our anniversary dinner.

Our anniversary dinner at MIX which is located on the 64th floor of THEhotel.  Amazing views with even better company!

Their preschool hosted an art show one evening, showcasing 4 pieces of the students' artwork.  I was such a proud Mommy.  And talk about, proud..... Kendall and Jace loved being showing off their masterpieces.

Kendall's Soccer

Our girl got a little spice in her this soccer season.  We are really proud of her.  She played with a couple kids from her Pre-K class, so she loved playing!

SAVANNAH!!!!!

Jimmy and I got the chance to go to Savannah while we were visiting Mimi and Pap Pap in South Carolina.  Thank goodness they live so close because we absolutely love going back.  We always visit the church where we got married, and then take a walk along Riverstreet, stopping at the infamous light pole where I spotted my handsome man wearing that Gap jean jacket.  Those who know our story understand the importance of him wearing the jean jacket....ha ha!  ;-)  Here's a little trip down memory lane....

 Our church where we were married April 2, 2005 in Savannah, GA.  The luckiest day of Jimmy's life!  (I  always joke with him about that, but we both know it's not a joke.)  LOL :-)
