Fairhope...Part 2

After church (Duncan's baptism) and lunch with the family on Sunday, we left to go back down to Fairhope.  We stayed until Thursday morning.   AR's 3 best friends got to come, along with two of her favorite people...Mrs. Mandy and Mr. Wade!  (she is quite obsessed with them! )  :)  Pop Pop also came down for a couple of nights so that was a special treat!  It can be quite interesting getting 5 girls, 3 and under together and one still being quite small and still trying to do things but they did great.  We even managed to eat out every night but one and breakfast two mornings!  We watched fireworks from the backyard on Wednesday which was a big help since AK really isn't up to staying up until 9pm waiting on something she cares nothing for! So we put her to bed and let the other four girls put on their glow jewlery and stay up to watch.  They had a great time! 
We also spent lots of time at the pool and playing on by the bay.  It was a great trip!  

Sorry for the amount of pictures!

Finally floating on her own and loved it!!  That is all
she wanted to do!

Now this is the life...sitting poolside with a fan!
AK will NOT sleep anywhere but her bed apparently but
she did rest in the stroller for a while.

So typical!  Ava Kate is touching Anna Riley's hair and she
doesn't like it! 

"What's that??"

Miss Audrey won't go many places
without a book...even if it is one
she can't read! :)

Trying to pass the time while the pool
was closed for thunder!

Happy girl!

Movie time!

Daddy's little girl

She loves Mr. Wade!!! She talks about him all the time!

Sparklers!   Thank goodness this didn't scar them too bad
for the real thing the next night!  They weren't big fans of
the sparklers!

Taking turns jumping off...which really gave me a great
arm workout!!  These girls don't stop!!

Tired...but happy!

We go to the ice cream parlor and everyone wants
Lollipops!

Fun memories with sweet friends!

Fairhope...Part 1

So, I mentioned in my last post that we have been on the go this summer and it hasn't stopped.  I must say sweet little Ava Kate is such a trooper and is keeping up with us pretty good if I must say...I think we will keep her! ;) I know next year...she will be right there in the midst of all the fun! 

 Traveling is still not her favorite but she is doing better and better each trip we take.  I guess at our house, you better learn to like it!

We went to Fairhope two weekends in a row which was a little tough on us all but we had fun once we got there!  My house is really needing us to stay home for a while and show it some attention though!!

These pictures are from the last weekend in June.  The Tidmores came down with us and they are always so easy to go places with!     Cameron even grilled us some Red Snapper one night and Courtney made homemade Cinnamon Rolls...yum! 

AR loved the pool this time.  She finally learned to like the puddle jumper float.  Ava Kate liked the pool too but of course she wears out easy with the heat.  We brought her a battery operated fan in hopes that she would take a nap but she rarely will do that... but she was really good and played until we all left for afternoon naps each day.  

Talon has no fear!  He had fallen off
the back steps before they left to come
down. 

Playing by the bay after naps...
Yes, AR is in her underwear! 

Look at those legs!

How cute is this picture?!
Looks like AR belongs to Courtney and not me! :)

Playdate with LG and Coop

Last week we met Peyton, Lily Grace and Cooper to play.  Because we are both so busy, it had been a while since we had seen each other but hopefully that will change soon! :)  Anna Riley couldn't wait to see Lily Grace!  She had fun playing with Cooper too...they are only a few months apart!  Ava Kate was taking it all in...it won't be long until she is running around with them!!

They didn't want to leave AK out! :)

SO sweet!

Lily Grace is SO good with babies!
