Photo Session

So, like I have nothing else to do, I decided to play photographer! Emmie and I had so much fun! Here are a few of my favs. Enjoy!

The Ritz

Wow! We had such a great time in Amelia. There's nothing like doing nothing! No cooking, no cleaning, no laundry. The weather was wonderful. It seemed to get cloudy just when we were ready for a nap. We all enjoyed the beach. The boys tried skimboarding and Emerson loved playing in the sand. We tried to find some sharks teeth, but that didn't go over well. Our room was directly on the ocean, thanks to this man named Paul. He thought that would be better for us - at no extra charge! That was sooo great! We could step off our patio and go right to the beach. They had these beads set up the day we got there for you to make necklaces or bracelets. We went the next day to make some (Baylor could talk about nothing else) but they told us they only brought them out on the weekends. They could tell Baylor was upset so in Ritz Carlton fashion they sent us to a room and set them up just for us! It was fun and we all came away with a great memento! The pool at the Ritz is always relaxing. There's nothing like the beach breeze, palm trees blowing and someone bringing you cold Bud Lights on demand! Emerson loved playing in the sprinkler pool and the boys swam like fish! Emerson was so into every experience. Eyes wide open and couldn't miss a moment. Occasionally, we got her to take a nap. Our next adventure is to Compass Lake with Shannon and Justin. We are so looking forward to that!

AHHH! Vacation at Last

We've had a busy and fun weekend at home. Thanks to our great neighbors we enjoyed the 4th with a bang! The kids had fun playing with neighborhood friends and watching the fireworks. Emmie was totally entertained with the noise of the fireworks. She has decided that she cannot miss anything! She has figured out how to sit and pull up this weekend! She is a very busy girl. We are so not ready for her to start moving, but the time has come. It's Sunday and that means that we head to the Ritz in Amelia Island today. YEAHHH! We are all so excited. Baylor yelled from his bed this morning at 7am, "Is today the day we go to the Ritz Carlton?" I spent yesterday packing. As I was stacking clothes it occured to me - we've got a TON of kids! We are going for 4 days so thats a lot of clothes. Oh, the underwear!!! Landon is so excited that he can order from the Cabana! This child needs his own tab. I know I will have lots of pics to post when we get back! Here are some pics from the weekend.

Hats off to Dads

Better late than never... Hope all those dads had a great Father's Day! I know for a fact that my life is amazing because of the MEN in my life! Thanks Dad, Tom & Toby! All three of you have such a great heart and are full of love. Thanks to you, there's never a job that can't get done! You are the BEST!

We had a wonderful weekend. Saturday Baylor had a ball game and Corbin had his end of the year T-ball party. He was so excited to recieve his first trophy. He has taken it everywhere. He is so proud. Even though Sunday was a wet one it was a nice day. We went to church and then to Pa and Tickle's house for the afternoon. Pa rented a big waterslide for the kids. The guys watched golf and drank lots of cold beer. Everyone had a great time, especially the kids!

Mmmmm Good!

I Scream for Summer!!

WOW! It was crazy getting here, but we made it...to summer that is! Between award ceremony's and several class parties it was a busy week up at the school. The school year was a great one. The boys learned a ton with their super sweet teachers. Landon finished the year with A/B Honor Roll and all A's in citizenship and Bay finished with all E's for his work and citizenship! We are so proud of both of them. Baylor's teacher will be moving with her class to 1st grade. We are really excited about that. They also made some great friends. Landon came away with a girlfriend, Savanna, that he talks to on the phone everyday now. Thankfully we did not have All-Stars last week, but that starts back Monday @ 8pm. Emerson had her 6th month doctor's appointment. She is healthly, although tiny. She weighs 12 pounds 4.5 ounces - that's the 3rd percentile! She now has 2 teeth and loves her some mommy!!! Mommy loves her some Emmie, too! Landon signed up for football!! Go Yulee Hornets! He starts practice Aug. 1st. Right in the dead of HEAT. But, we are looking forward to the grind of football. Corbin started speech theropy last Wed. and will be going every week throughout the summer. He seems to be really ready for this! Thankfully, we have a friend, Sandy, in the neighborhood who is working with him. Well, we are looking forward to our 1st full week of summer vacation. Hopefully we won't all kill each other.
