Happy Father's Day To The BEST DADDY In The World!

Father's Day was the first full day of our vacation so I didn't get a chance to do a post for TJ so here goes...
There are no words to describe the kind of father that TJ is to our precious children. He is amazing to say the least. He is the most involved father I have ever known. He gets the children up every morning, changes Anderson's diaper, put Karoline on the potty, and makes Karoline's breakfast before heading to work. He comes home for lunch every day so he can spend time with our family (gotta love a 2 minute commute!) and then when he gets home he always plays with the kids and helps me with whatever I need, bathes the kids and reads to Karoline while I put Anderson to sleep. I thank the Lord for my amazing husband and I really appriciate all he does for our family! He not only works hard to provide for our family but works hard at home too! He is truely the love of my life and God has blessed me with the most amazing man and amazing father to my children! I also want to say Happy Father's Day to my dad... I love him so much I am so excited it get to see him tomorrow! He is a wonderful dad and Gandaddy to Karoline and Anderson!

This Father's Day was special because we go to visit with TJ's family in Ft. Walton Beach before heading to Orange Beach for the week. We got to see TJ's grandmother, his Uncle Darren, his wife and son, and of course Sarah, Jared, and Ella.

TJ and Sarah (mostly Sarah) made a photobook for his dad... it was really funny!

Karoline Goes to Six Flags!

We went to Six Flags today with Emily and Avery! It was so much fun. They had a free pass and Karoline got in free since she is 2 but we had to go in June and since we leave tomorrow for vacation today was our last day to go...
The girls had a GREAT time... Karoline was so scared of the animals... see video below. They have lions, tigers, giraffes, elephants and a few other animals in their Animal Kingdom secion. But LOVED the rides! On the teacup like ride I had us spinning like crazy and she loved it. Here are a lot of pictures of Karoline's first time at Six Flags. Even though I had so much to do today to get ready for our trip I am glad we went and had a great time. THANKS EMILY AND AVERY!

This picture describes how Karoline felt about seeing the elephants. Funny thing though is that she talked about the elephants all night at home tonight. She wanted to go on a walk tonight and see elephants and a whale... what kind of neighborhood does she think we live in? But it was really cute tonight how she talked about everything she did at Six Flags today.
















Saying "NO Way"... Her phrase for the day!!!


Video
Oh she was so scared of the animals even though she loves watching them on TV. But we enjoyed the rides. Enjoy the video!

Anderson's Post

Since the post on Six Flags was all about Karoline I just had to include some pictures of Anderson...

He found me! I was vacuuming the kitchen and he found me... it was so cute I grabbed my camera.

He LOVES playing with Karoline's Dora car.


Anderson was letting his sunscreen "set in" for 15 minutes before we went outside. It was hot this week so we spent a lot of time in our little pool!


video
This video is so funny. Anderson discovered Karoline's mirrored closet doors. He kept trying to get to that baby he was looking at and would bang his head over and over and over again! It was SO FUNNY! Karoline was worried that Anderson was hurting himself! It's really cute and hows how she loves her brother!

Okay, I know this is Anderson's post, but I forgot this picture. This is Karoline in her "boat"... she lines up her blocks and sits on them and they become a boat. You can kind of see the yellow shovel in her hand which is her paddle. So funny!

Getting Ready For Vacation

I am spending the week preparing for our vacation... We leave Saturday. First we go to the beach the beach with TJ's family then Texas with my mom and dad. I am SO excited! I had to upload everything from my cameras so I could erase the memory cards in preparation for the trip so I have a lot of pictures and two sets of videos. It has been warm outside and today TJ blew up the pool. The kids had a blast and Karoline threw a NICE fit when we made her come in to bathe and eat dinner. I think they are both ready for some pool/ beach time! I have SO MUCH to do this week so pray I can get it all done!
Crawling over Whisper...




She is really into "drumming" with Diego and seriously concentrates on her drumming skills.

Stuck again...



Karoline is worn out after church on Sundays! I don't know what they do in Sunday School but she is always so tired. She does this every Sunday when we come home.

Anderson and his giraffe... his favorite toy these days.

I got Karoline a new pack of hair clips and she wanted ALL of them in her hair!

At The Pool... Goff Pool Is Now Open!
We had so much fun today in our little pool... I think we might have to get a larger one at some point because Karoline could not really play with Anderson in there, but they had a blast and Anderson LOVED the water. I know he is going to love the beach.








This video is of Karoline and TJ dancing... we usually start our mornings off with the IPod! There are also two videos of Anderson.

Playing in the pool video...

Because Gammy Is Nearly In Tears...

My mom is nearly in tears every time I talk to her on the phone. She TERRIBLY misses these precious children. I think if we don't get to Texas soon she is going to go crazy. We leave a week from tomorrow for the beach with TJ's family and then to Texas for a week. We can't wait for our fun trip! I know ALL the grandparents are ready to see these beautiful kids...

I know the next two pictures are basically the same but I could not decide which one I liked the best so I just posted both... Oh, and I cannot even begin to describe her obsession with this blue ball! She HAS to have it at ALL times!


Karoline's new ROCKER PJ's... she was SO excited when I pulled them out for the first time last night. She LOVED the guitars!! She was so excited I could not get a good picture of her! She wanted to dance... more on that later. I have a fun video to post at some point.

One of my favorite things this week has been watching my children play together. Karoline and Anderson really love just being in the living room together. They are USUALLY so content just to be together. I am SO glad I had my children so close together. Sometimes it is hard but I have enjoyed every moment of it and now they are really having some fun!
