Our Beach Vacation

We spent a great week at Orange Beach this year.  It was wonderful to spend time with the family and catch up.  The kids had a great time playing with their cousins and wore themselves out every day.

Poor Abigail, she did not love the sand and was very unhappy. Maxwell tried to make her happy with a seashell. :)  She did warm up to it though, by Thursday she was shoveling sand into a bucket!

Daddy to the Rescue

Poor little baby, she didn't want to sit still and pose for a picture.  So sad.

Then with perfect timing, my pocket starts to quack.  I reached into my pocket and pulled my phone out so that Abigail could talk to her daddy.  She has just now started to talk on the phone like a big girl.  Before, she was always too timid..she would only talk on the phone if there was no one on the other end!

Our Lego Maniac

Maxwell is a bit addicted to Legos.  He loves them!  I'm sure he even dreams about them.  He has built most of the Lego Star Wars ships so he's moved on to Lego Atlantis.  He bought this one today with his birthday money.  This is the Atlantis Typhoon Turbo Sub.

Here's a brief (if you consider 8 minutes brief) video of him explaining his largest Star Wars ship.  He built this ship last month.

Excuse the quality please, this was taken with my iPhone.

Future Olympian?

Abigail loves the pool, she would float in it all day long if she had her way.  She also has a new found love of jumping into the water.  We think we may have a future Olympian on our hands, she has great form for a 2 year old and is very dramatic about the whole thing.  I think she's a perfect 10!

Preparing for her jump.

Check out that perfect form....and those sweet toes. :)

Eyes closed while she holds her breath hoping Daddy is there to catch her!

A Day on Lake Lanier

Hudson's parents were in town this weekend so we decided to head to Lake Lanier for a day of fun.  The weather was perfect and we had a great time!

Pure joy. He couldn't keep the smile off of his face!

 Abigail (with her Papoo) would have floated in the lake all day if she had her way; she loved it!

Olivia had a lot of fun swimming and tubing!

Maxwell got up on the skis the first time, I told him next year we were dumping the training skis for some big boy ones!

Sweet baby, pretending to be asleep.

Me and my waterbugs!

Daddy enjoying some much needed relaxation.

Maxwell and Nana at lunch.

Not pretending here, Abigail passed out on Nana's lap..notice the Twix bar she had a deathgrip on!

Heading to the Movies

The kids have been wanting to see "How to Train Your Dragon", it hit the dollar theater a few days ago, so they sweet-talked Papoo and Nana into taking them.  Fun!

disclaimer: The little one with the pigtails did NOT go to the movies, she's way too busy for that.
