1, 2, 3 ,4, 5...

Yes, that is the age of our kids... Kind of fun!

Beach again... it was VERY VERY WINDY but we managed to stay for a few hours. The kids had fun playing and Anderson and Tucker were so cute playing baseball. Judy and my parents joined us and my dad was quite the character. Because of some medications he takes he really cannot get a lot of sun so he looked quite scary :) ...

After the flag flew away we decided that between my dad and the wind we would leave...

Mom & Judy

We all ate dinner at my house then headed over to Broadway At The Beach to let the kids enjoy the rides ... a must do at night. Too hot during the day :) Tucker and Emma Raines had a blast... lots of fun smile!

The cars are always a big hit... we had to do it again...

I love this! Tucker having so much fun screaming on the Tea Cups... Anderson holding his ears :)

I was very thankful for the time we had together and I know the kids had a blast! We cannot wait to go to Birmingham and see their new home! Time with best friends is always treasured!

Natalie's Visit

This week I plan on getting caught up on this blog before the summer gets away from me :) Our plans this week only include home, the gym, and the pool.... until Friday!

It's safe to say that Natalie and I have not seen much of each other the past 6 or so years. They lived in Vermont for 5 years and we lived in San Francisco 3 of those years. I visited her when I was 6 months prego with Karoline, and they came to San Fran when Karoline turned 2. Since there return to the south we have seen each other twice in Birmingham... It was beach time this go around! And after this exhausting trip I'm not sure when she'll come back :) Glad I took a lot of pictures! Haha...

Natalie braved the drive with her mom and her precious three children. Karoline and Anderson had so much fun with Emma Raines, Tucker, and baby Finley! They arrived late Tuesday night so when the woke up Wednesday they were all ready for some fun...

Anderson wasted no time trying to teach Tucker how to play the drums and the girls were in dress up clothes before we knew it (and stayed in them pretty much except for their bathing suits!)...

Sweet Finley's morning bottle...

We got to the beach around 11am and the kids had a blast playing. ER was so brave in the water playing and it helped Karoline and Anderson be a little brave too... surprisingly my kids are very timid near the ocean. Tucker was quite content building/ constructing things in the sand.

Guitar time...

The reality of trying to get a cute group shot... Oh well...

and yes, everyone on the beach was laughing at us :)

Anderson would fall back and yell "I be baptized!"....

After the beach we headed to Pine Lakes for lunch and swimming. Mom and Judy brought Finley who had been napping at home with them... she loved the water.

After dinner the kids went to bed without a problem.... It was a very fun day... ready for day 2?

Happy Father's Day

There are not enough words to explain how AMAZING TJ is as a husband and a father! I am so VERY thankful for him and that he is a man of God and an amazing leader for our family. I took these pictures several weeks ago of TJ and the kids playing baseball in the back yard... they LOVE it when daddy gets home from work and they get to play baseball.

Happy Father's Day TJ... We LOVE YOU so much!
