Florida Fun...

After the wedding, we headed over to spend some time with She-She!  It was such a fun week...Jeremy's brother's family also came down...lots of great memories...

Lunch after church with "Old" Pappa and Grandma Carolyn...

Summer fun in the sun!!  So fun to play with cousins!

Jackson has a new favorite chair to chill in at his She-She's house...

Lots of hugs for Bailey...

We ventured out to Pier Park and rode some rides...Bella loved the Ferris-Wheel...

These girlies sure love their sweet She-She...

We enjoyed a day at the lake!  Brother was loving splashing...

Bella and Maddy loved every minute of their first tubing experience together! (don't worry...their daddies went with them) =)

Such a fun time of relaxing and making good summer memories together!

Here Comes The...

Flower girl =)

We headed down to Pensacola to celebrate and share in the ceremony of Brooke Taylor and Hunter's wedding!  We have had the privilege of seeing Brooke grow up into the beautiful young lady that she is today!  When I first met Brooke, she was in 8th grade...she has grown and matured and become such a lovely woman of God.

Bella was absolutely loving all of the bridal festivities...so special that she was asked to be Brooke's flower girl...

Bridesmaids luncheon on the Gulf...

Bella and the bride-to-be!

All dressed and ready for the big day...

So sweet...so special...

Ringer bearer and Flower girl...cute as could be!

Enjoying time together before the ceremony begins...

Here they come...charming and cute as ever...

Bella did such a great job!  She stood up on the stage the entire ceremony...entertained the audience with a few funny faces...and tried to keep the groom from tearing up with some final funnies =)

Look who took over the dance floor...

Jeremy played and sang in the ceremony also...such a sweet day of celebrating with dear friends!

Happy Father's Day...

To the BEST daddy in the whole wide world!

Isabella and Jackson are blessed, blessed, blessed to have this guy as their daddy!  They will grow into understanding more and more why are just so blessed but for right now Bella is in love with her "Prince" and Jackson is blown away by his "Hero"! 

Thank you Jer for working so hard to provide for us, walking in the door and totally switching gears from ministry to poopy diapers and little fingers reaching for you, thank you for all of your patience that you show towards all three of us...we can certainly be a handful!!, thank you for taking us on fun adventures and encouraging us to try new things, thank you for all the walks and talks and playground visits so I can peacefully cook dinner, thank you for bringing peace and calmness to our home in the midst of "organized chaos" and above all thank you for diligently showing us the unconditional love of our Jesus each and every day!

We love you!!!

After a wonderful day at church and some good long naps, we enjoyed father's day dinner with our friends, the Polleks!  Lots of fun to celebrate two great daddies together!

Enjoying Nature...

After the kids took their afternoon naps today, we decided to go explore a new park! We headed out to Dreher Shoals State Park! It was a gorgeous afternoon...perfect for playing on the playgrounds, taking a nature walk, swinging, skipping rocks and watching the boats on the pretty lake! So thankful for beautiful weather, healthy children, energy to play and enjoy my sweet family and a wonderful new city to call home! :)

Road trip to Nash-vegas!

The kids and I loaded up the car and headed to Nashville!  It's a little over a 6 hour drive through the Smoky Mountains and across the state of Tennessee!  Not a bad drive at all!  We spent a few days with all the cousins!  Summer time is so fun...

Opryland!

Last weekend, I met up with my three best friends from college in Nashville!  We spent the weekend together at the Opryland hotel!  

Been friends for 13 years...sorority sisters...bridesmaids...4 husbands later and 7 kids later...our friendship is stronger than ever!

We each cherish the time we have together each year.  We may go months without talking...but we always pick  up in conversation right where we left off the last time!  Such a sweet, sweet friendship we have.  We love this weekend of rest, relaxation and sharing tips and ideas from cooking, parenting, exercise, skin care, meals...kids...and the list goes on! =)

I love you precious friends and thank the Lord for your friendships!
