Seagrove Beach 2009

We had a BLAST at the beach this past week! Jack loved the beach and playing with his good friends! He and Jadon loved the baby pool on the beach! We put it under the tent and they had such a good time! And the adults loved our time on the porch each night talking! It truly was a great week with good friends! It is definitely going to be an annual tradition!

We are back home and enjoying a quiet weekend! It was a fun time at the beach and we are worn out!

Enjoy all the picutres!

More fun in our busy summer!

Another fun week of our fun summer! We had a very busy weekend! We played at a neighbor's house with pizza and slip n slides on Friday night, worked in the yard, ran errands, met Jack's new buddy Knox Flannagan, cooked out with the Coopers, went to Gville to visit Nana and Poppa, and to Jack's 2nd Camp Meeting! It was such a fun weekend!

We followed it up with a busy week... Monday we went to a slip n' slide play group at a neighbor's house (same one from 4th of July) and Jack LOVED the big hill again! He got to play with all of his good buddies and tried out flirting with a cute girl (you have to see the picture!) Tuesday we went to the zoo with some of Jack's friends too! He had a great time and was worn out when we left. He literally slept in the car for about 9 minutes...and that was it for our nap that day! We went to tour his new school that afternoon, Woodchase Academy (formerly Sunbrook Academy)! WE really loved it and think Jack is going to have so much fun! He starts the week of August 10 and will be there Tuesday and Thursday! He is even going to be in the same class as his next door neighbor Andrew!

So tonight, I am trying to get packed for our big beach trip! We are so very excited!!!! We leave Sat. morning and we can NOT wait to see what Jack thinks of his first big beach trip! Wish us luck on the drive down! Can't wait to get back and share pictures (yeah, I will probably take a few!)

Check out our new pictures!

Fun times in Savannah!

We had a really great LONG weekend in Savannah! We spent Friday and Saturday night at Sally and John's house! We took advantage of their lake and did some major relaxing and floating around! We also got to go on a boat ride! Jack's first boat ride! He enjoyed the first 5 minutes and then was FAST asleep! We went to Tybee for a little bit and let him play in the water! Nannie, Ugga, and Great Granny spent time with us there which was so nice! And Jack especially liked playing with his big cousin Sarah! She was great with him!

Sunday we went to Mimi and Papa Frank's to do some more relaxing on the water! Jack played in a small pool and hung out on the dock with us! He even had his first swim in the river!

Now...the fun stuff.... we ate REALLY well when we were there! We had steaks, blue crab, low country boil, shrimp pasta, fried shrimp, homemade coleslaw and hush puppies and boiled peanuts! WOW! Does it get any better than that?! Ann and I made it quite the elegant combination when we drank our wine and ate boiled peanuts while floating around on the lake!

We are back home and getting ready for our beach trip next week!!! Our summer continues to be busy and so much fun!

Enjoy our new pictures!

Happy 4th with our brave little man!

We had such a great 4th of July weekend at home! We went to the pool lots and cooked out with friends! It really was a great weekend....Did I mention that Steven and I napped with Jack on Saturday and Sunday too! Wow, that was nice!

Jack was having a fit over the slip n slide at a neighbor's house this weekend...so, he and another one of his little buddies decided they had to go too! Well, they had a blast and were too cute to watch! Jack is really fearless and clapped for himself every time he went down..... I really mean EVERY time he came down! It was too funny! We are not lacking any self esteem over here!

Jack got to play with his good friends Morgan and Will on Sunday! They had lots of fun! Everyone is really growing up!

Jack is also a big fan of watermelon as you can see from the pictures! It doesnt get any better than hanging out in the backyard eating watermelon on a gorgeous summer night!

We are headed to Savannah this weekend for some fun on the water! Hanging out on a boat and taking Jack crabbing for the first time (I will be sure to take some pictures! Hahaha!)

Things are going great and we are continuing our VERY fun and very busy summer!

Backyard Fun!

Well, before you even look at all the pictures of our backyard fun...just know there are lots of Mr. Jack running around in the backyard! We spend lots of time outside during the day and usually always play outside every night after dinner! He loves it and spends most of the time running around squealing and laughing! He thinks it is so much fun! We do chase him and play with him too! Lots of good exercise before bed time!

Jack is changing so much! He just seems like such a grown up little boy lately! He is starting to say "choo choo" when we talk about trains..and still "woofs" and all dogs! You would think he would say "dog"...but instead he barks at them! Too funny!

We had the best weekend with Dorin and Carrie in town! Two nights of dinner on teh patio and sitting up talking with best friends. It doesnt get much better than that. And we loved that they got to spend time with Jack!

We are going to have a quiet 4th of July and are looking forward to the weekend!

Oh...and Jack had a splinter in his hand today! The first..I am sure of many! We got it out tonight and he didnt make a sound!

Enjoy the new pictures!

West Coast to East Coast

WOW! Steven and I just got back from 3 nights out in Sonoma Valley! It was amazing!!! Truly perfect and so great for us to have that time just the two of us! We visited some favorite wineries and a few new ones, ate amazing food, saw a NASCAR race with a glass of wine in hand, drove to the coast, and got a massage! Now...doesnt that sound perfect! We loved our time together and we loved getting home to see the angel prince!

Jack was such a big boy and spent the weekend with Aunt Jennifer and Uncle John on Friday and then spent Saturday and Sunday night with Granny and Poppa! He had such a big time! He played in the pool, celebrated Landa's birthday and Father's Day (Cake and ice cream - which he loved!), and played, played, played! We were so happy that he was with his grandparents and aunt and uncle! We were very proud of how well he did! I think we missed him more than he missed us! :)

It really was a fabulous weekend! We are very excited about this upcoming weekend because Dorin and Carrie are coming to stay with us! We can't wait for them to get here! It should be relaxing and some good quality time together! :)

Summer is here and it is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are having a blast! :)

Check out all the pictures! (LOTS of albums, so make sure you see them all..... Jack's first trip to the zoo, weekend with Jenn, John, Granny, and Poppa, and of course......Sonoma!)

Family, Family, and more Family!

We have had a great week!!! Grandbubba was here from Thursday - Sunday!!! Poppa came down to play and visit on Sunday afternoon....then Nannie came in town Sunday night and stayed through Wednesday! It was soooooo much fun! We love having family here and we really love Jack being around everyone! He loved it of course! New people to entertain!!! And even more exciting is that Mimi is coming on Saturday!!!!! We can't wait!

It really was a great weekend and we played with Jack around the house and at the pool!

Jack is growing up so fast! 14 months old now and all over the place! His favorite thing is still to read and play with his books! He really loves books! He also is loving playing outside everyday, and of course is having way too much fun at the pool! It was a busy spring...and leading to a busier summer! Jack finished up his Music and Swim classes this Spring! He really enjoyed both of them! He still meets with his playgroup every Tuesday morning and we always love playing with his buddies!

Next weekend, Steven and I are headed to Sonoma Valley for the weekend! We are so excited! Jack is staying with Aunt Jennifer and Uncle John on Friday night, then with Nana and Poppa on Saturday and Sunday night! He is so excited! He loves going to Gainesville to play! :) (On another note... we are hopefully finding out tomorrow if we are going to have a new niece or nephew! We are sooooooooo excited!!!! We are thinking it's a girl, but we will keep you posted!)

Things are really great here and we are thankful each and everyday for our wonderful little family! Enjoy all of our new pictures!
