Catching up!

We are back home! Yay! Our trip and the last 2 weeks were a lot of fun but we went full blast so it was time to get settled again! Here are s few "catch up" pictures. This week is VBS and whatever else comes our way. 

I did have a doctors appointment yesterday and everything was great! This was also the appointment to find out the gender of the baby! It's a mystery to us all but it is in an envelope just in case 😄

Hanging out at rosemary beach!

Waiting for The Sugar Shak to open

First day of bible school! She was so excited and couldn't wait to see Harper. I did get a call through the morning that CK was crying and whimpering for her mommy. She is a mommys girl. Thankfully she calmed down and was all smiles when I picked her up. 

Lisa and I took the girls to Olexas in mountain brook...a favorite Girly lunch place. These girls could spend 24/7 together and never get tired of each other!

Second day of bible school! No tears...all smiles and laughs. She realized she loves it! 

Some more "beach time"

Our beach trip was fabulous! One of the best and can I say so relaxing! I only got dressed twice to go out. Other than that it was pure relaxing, pool time, and beach time! Charlee Kate loved her time with hunter and Ella too! She finally started really going under water and loving going under water the last day. I was so proud of her. We had a photographer take some great family pics so I hope to post those soon as well! Last day was shopping then beach time until 8:30 at night... Fabulous. Even though the beach as been wonderful, I was ready to be home!

Our beach days! We were blessed to have the most amazing week of wonderful weather! 

The sand castle Jeremy built 

Going to eat at schooners 

These were all her "own" poses. I wanted to take pictures of her and this is what she did.

Waiting to ride a ride at Pier Park. She was such a trooper this day and was exhausted but never whined! 

Amusement park

I remember how exciting it was to go ride go carts or go to an amusement park! The kids faces were all priceless when we took them. It was worth every penny!!

The Ferris wheel was the first ride. The were so excited about it!

The swings! This was CHarlee Kate's favorite!

Beach days

It's funny how many memories we have made at the condo! From Kelly and Kevin finding out they were pregnant with hunter to this last pregnancy for our families. Lots of great memories and the kids are having do much fun this time! This may be the first trip they actually remember though. We got here Sunday around lunch and we have had fabulous weather. The rest of the week looks great too. All the kiddos have been lucky to be together since last Sunday! They have definitely had lots of playtime. Here are a few pictures from the week so far!

We bounce back and forth from the beach to the pool all day. I love it though bc I need both! The beach is my fav but I need the pool to wash off the stickiness!

My only beach picture so far! Taken the first day. Charlee Kate loves to build a sand castle with her daddy 

July 4th

The 4th of July turned out to be one of the best! 100% chance of rain was predicted the whole day but just about everyone came anyways, everyone hoping for the best. Well...lots of answered prayers bc we got about an hour or so of rain and that was after 5:00 at night. It was a perfect day of swimming, riding sea doos, eating lots of yummy food, while avoiding the hot, humid sun, and...the corn hole tournaments which lasted a long time. We had so much fun with them though. That made it exciting. It was so nice to celebrate such a great holiday with our cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends. Now..,time to pack for the beach! 

Sweet kiddos ready for everyone to arrive

They love Amelia!

Lots of kids after a day of playing...we were still missing 4

Hunters's cute signs he made before everyone arrived 

Lately during our summer...

I am really trying to stay up on blogging! Some days I want to and some days I don't want anything out! I try to remember how much I love my blog into scrapbook though. They may be short and sweet, but that's ok!

My sister and the kids made it Sunday! The kids have had a blast. Lots of pool time, playing, few fights here and there (haha) and Nintendo. Jeremy got out the old school Nintendo and power pad. That brought back some memories and laughs. Still the lake and beach ahead. Here are a few of our daytime pics...

Lots of pool time! Especially with great friends!

CHarlee Kate loves her cousins!
