Enjoying the refreshing bay water.
Boy did they have fun with the boogie board!
I think he's ready for one of his own!!

What a great day we had at the beach!! The kids had a blast and played so well together, the food was yummy, the fellowship was great and a good time was had by all. Thanks to Dave for the mommy boat ride and the dolphin show, it was so much fun!! Already looking forward to next year!!!

Check this out!!

I was looking through some photo albums at my parents the other day and came across this picture. This is me at 21 months old.
Now this is Emily at 20 months old.

What do you think? Does Emily look a little bit like her mommy?

I showed my picture to Ryan and asked him who it was and he said Emily!!
Although we might look alike my mom says that I was not nearly as busy and mischievous as little Emily has turned out to be!!

A nice surprise

Tuesday night when I got home from church this beautiful vase of roses was waiting for me!! No occasion really, just a thank you from my hubby for putting up with all the work he's been doing for school these last few months. He's been so busy with schoolwork and regular work that he hasn't really had much free time on his hands. Which left me and the kids sort of on our own quite a bit. Thankfully he's finished with his work, but the downside is that he leaves Sunday to go to Colorado for a week. Oh well!!! Tomorrow night we are headed on a date by ourselves! It's been quite a while and is completely overdue....looking forward to some quiet time with my hubby before he heads off!!

A busy 4th of July

We had a very fun-filled busy 4th of July. We spent the morning at the beach with the Judd family and then headed out to their house later that evening for food, fellowship and fireworks. The boys had a blast playing in the sand on the golf course and playing baseball (thank you Natalie!!) I don't have any pictures of fireworks and not many of Ryan due to the fact that I have run out of room on my memory card. Guess it's time to head to Sam's and print some pictures!! All in all we had a great day and I am sure you can see lots of other pictures from the cookout on Natalie, Sue and Heather's blogs!! Thanks Judds for having us over, it was a blast....already looking forward to next year!!

Isn't Carter just too cute! He's always smiling!!
