Lunch at Nana and Papa's

We went to my parent's house to eat lunch one Sunday. I got some cute pic's of Kels on their front porch. We also had fun watching the hummingbird's swoosh RIGHT by our heads - never could get all of them at the feeder, though...

My crazy Kelsey

One night I was cleaning up the kitchen and Kelsey came in there, look Mommy, I am a doctor..... She had put her ironing board cover on her head like a dr.'s hat - I was too funny and how in the world did she think of this all by herself - Wow at her little imagination!!

Fun times at the River

I KNOW! I KNOW!! It has been forever!! I'm so sorry! :) But, i am back...

We went to the river to spend the night with my sister and her fiance on Friday night and spent the day with them on the water that Saturday! We had a blast!!!

Monday, Day 3

Yesterday morning we got up and just ate a quick breakfast. Kelsey and I just ate out on the balcony. It feels so wonderful on the balcony in the morning - There has just been this cool breeze blowing - It's great!! After Layla got up, she and Kelsey played out on the balcony for the longest. I think they were playing doctore - Kelsey kept, I guess, putting band-aid's on Layla with a sales paper - I just love to watch these two play. It is so cute!! But, we finally made it to the beach around 11:00 or so. The kids played in the sand and rode the waves for a little bit, then headed on up to the pool.

We had decided we would grill out by the pool last night. We were actually able to get on the grill with no problem. We were afraid we would have to wait on one, but we were lucky! Brian cooked steaks, winnies for the kids, baked potatoes and mac and cheese! It was delicious!!

After dinner, we went to play putt-putt. We had a great time. Drake hit, I think, 4 hole in ones! Way to go, buddy!! Kelsey would hit the ball and then run and pick it up and drop it in the hole - too cute!! :) Brian quit keeping score around hole 11 - couldn't keep up with that and between the two of us, couldn't keep up with Kels!! We went and ate Dippin' Dots afterwards - it was so good!!!

Sunday, Day 2

We got up early and ate breakfast in the room - It was so good!! Amie had to give Eric a quick haircut, so Brian decided to as well!! He asked me - should I? I was like I don't care, honey. It is hair it'll grow back! I seriously would not think he would do it - BUT, he did!! I really like it, though. It has really been his first different style in almost 15 years - HA! He is sooo paticular about his hair, I still can't believe he done it - But, he did and I think he really likes it. Told me we had to go to Wal-Mart and buy some clippers - HA! :)
Finally, after we played barber shop we went down to the beach. We were able to spend it Van, Debra, the boys and then Craig, Becky and Amber. We all had a good time!

We ended up eating at Carrabba's. It was pretty good, but I think ever had better! Anyway, here are all the pic's I got of Day 2~

The Beach - Day 1

After so many months of all the anticipation.... Our vacation is FINALLY here!!! We left the house yesterday morning (Saturday) and met Eric and Amie at Chic-fil-a in McAdory around 7:00.. Since the girls would be contained for about 5 hours, we just let them play. They could just eat on the road. But we left there around 8:00 sometime. It was a good ride down. We got to PCB around 12:45 or so. We got here and our room was ready, so we checked in and got unpacked. We were all starving, so we went and grabbed a bite at the good 'ol Hooters, then went to buy some groceries. This place is so packed, we litterally had to wait about 30 minutes on the elevators to get up to our room! They guys took the stairs since we had milk and the other cold stuff... Anyway - we finally were able to get on our swimsuits and go down to the little water park we have here!

This morning I woke up early. What in the world is up with that???? Up at 6:30 on my vacation.. Guess I am just getting old - HA! :) So, thought I would go ahead and do some blogging!!! But I am out on the balcony and it feels so wonderful out here!!! There is a steady breeze blowing and it is just AWESOME!! All the hard days at work for Brian and me are all worth this one week of family vacation!! I just love life!! Anyway, here is Day 1 of our beach trip!

Father's Day

Well, we had a GREAT Father's Day weekend. We had our softball game on Friday night and after that we headed down to the lake! We were able to spend ALL day on the water (Well, I did.. Brian and Kelsey decided to take a 3 hour nap!) It was so gorgeous, but OH SO HOT!! :) I know it isn't like me, but I didn't get ANY pictures on Saturday... The ONLY ones are the ones below from Sunday but... NONE with my Daddy (the one of us three girls and him...that was on Mother's Day) =( Just makes me so mad at myself.... Anyway, since we were able to spend all day with Van, Brian's daddy. We got up Sunday morning, done Father's Day with Brian and Van, took some pic's and then headed back to B-ham to my sister's for lunch. We just had sub sandwiches so that we could head on over to the country club and swim! It was so much fun.. Hate I didn't get any pic's of the family swimming.. :(

Anyway, to my special husband:
Brian, thank you so much for being the BEST husband in the world. You mean so much to me, more than you'll EVER know! I love you with all my heart and you are the BEST Daddy to our little angel. I thank God each and every day for giving me the most wonderful man of all! I love you, sweetie and hope you enjoyed YOUR weekend.

And Daddy, I just want to let you know I will always be your little girl! I love you so much and am so thankful to have as the one I call "Daddy". I will always remember our special memories I have growing up! Thank you so much for those! I love you bunches! ~ Your Punkin, Shea~
