Vacation

Forgive my absence. We've been in California for 8 days and I'm playing catch up in a lot of areas! Here's one of my favorite pictures from our trip , mostly because all 4 of us are in it! I took over 1600 pictures with my new camera (I'll tell you all about that in another post soon) and I'll share those pictures and the details of our adventure soon!

Hope you had a wonderful, sunny day!

Back in the Swing of Things

Last week was a crazy week. I had surgery on August 6th and it disrupted our little world. Nothing major (thyroid removed) but it did slow me down a bit. Before surgery we were in the midst of a major craft room re-do, a back-porch and patio deco project, and several sewing projects so I'm a bit behind on all fronts. Until I get things moving along again and documented, I wanted to share a few of my favorite pictures of the boys playing and being the fun, crazy little boys they are this summer--hope you enjoy!

July beach trip--love those beautiful Alabama beaches!

Fireworks

This 4th of July we decided to celebrate at home. We cooked on the grill, updated our screened-in-porch (pics and info to come later), played in the pool, ran around outside (without shoes, as you can see from the pics) and played with fireworks for the first time! We made a trip to the fireworks stand ready to buy up lots of fun stuff. Being a crazy mom, I dressed both boys in 4th of July colors so we'd be picture ready for documenting another "first". Of course, both boys feel asleep in the car on the way to the fireworks stand so Daddy went inside to make our selections. After a quick trip and nap, the boys were ready to see what all the fuss was about. Jackson was super excited--he wanted to hold and light them by himself. Macklin was a bit more inquisitive and cautious. He would get close but once he saw the smallest glimmer of light, he would run as fast as his little legs would carry him to get away! Pin It
