New Hobby

With the encouragement of Mom, I started back scrapbooking. I did it for awhile when I was younger and have finally gotten back to it. I was looking for a way to keep all of our pictures in order and in some type of book. This seemed to be the perfect fit!



Hopefully, I will have the time to stick with it!

Audrey's 2nd Birthday!

We got together Sunday afternoon for Audrey's 2nd birthday party. She was precious opening her presents and sneaking cupcakes. We love her to pieces and were glad we got to be a part of her special day!

Messy Kitchen = Full Bellies

This is what happens when I bake EACH AND EVERY TIME! Maybe one day I will learn how to make a cake without such a mess!

Every dish is dirty, cabinets open, dishwasher full, floor is covered in red sprinkles...

Hours later poof NO MESS and Cake is finished = Bliss : )

Beach Palooza

We are home from the beach but keep saying over and over again "Let's go back and stay just one more night!" The weather was perfect, the food was delicious! The last time we went to the beach was with SHS a year ago so it was a much needed vacation!

Lexi looked pitiful when we left!

Thank goodness Adam & Kendall stayed at our house while we were away. Thank you guys!

Daddy was craving seafood so we ate at the Friendly Fisherman. It was really good and had a great view!

...so sad to leave!

Gator Bait!?!?

We went fishing earlier in the week in order to get ready for the beach trip this weekend! (Actually I wanted to practice my skills and Forrest just wanted to fish.) We are so, so ready to go!



While we were there a GATOR kept following us. Wherever we put our line in the gator went. It had to be about six feet from what we could tell. The gator finally submerged and went to the other side of the pond. Thank goodness!

I caught a baby blue gill!

My husband saying "He's going to eat me!" haha : )

It's Never Dull When...

...Dana & Michael come to town!

We did everything from swimming and chowing down, to having a birthday party and laughing way too hard!
