Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!
Yesterday Reed's friend Jimmy and his family graciously invited us to go along with them to celebrate Memorial Day on their boat. It was a 44 foot Sea Ray with 3 beds, 2 bathrooms, a shower, a kitchen..Super nice!! We rode out to Shell Island and anchored for the day, had lunch on the back deck (grilled by Jimmy!), played on the beach, found sea urchins and starfish and seashells and had a blast!

Do you see that?

Ahh! My hat!! Trevor makes a contribution to the sea...

Goofy Parents...

baby belly--it's there! I promise!

Captain Trevor

pretty view...

Brothers

So these guys do argue. They whine about the other and sometimes they don't share. Sometimes they purposely take the best cookie so the other can't have it. And sometimes they have to be seperated.

But boy, do they love each other. They will both fiercely protect the other, from playmates who are being too "rough", to Mom and Dad when they think we are being too "mean" to the other. They rush to give hugs when they've been apart even for a few hours, play for hours in their room together building lego aliens and cars, Carson reads to Trevor and Trevor tries to emulate all the big boy things Carson does. We love that they are so close and hope that they stay this close always.

Crazy Busy!

I am so slack on this blog but we really have been ridiculously busy lately. Doctor's appointments, end of the school year stuff for Carson, dealership grand opening, mothers day...there's always something! Add to that two young boys and a pregnant mama and a VERY busy daddy and we don't get much down time.

Carson had Kindergarten Graduation yesterday, and while I think in principle this is silly, it was really cute and sweet to see. Our boy is so big already! They sang a few songs and handed out "diplomas" and then it was off to the water park for some fun with all his friends!




He sang his little heart out to "I hope you dance" and mommy teared up! stupid hormones. LOL

walking to get his diploma...we were WAY in the back, so my pictures are awful!

I know the quality is terrible, but isn't that the funniest shot? He just looks so tickled with himself!

Trevor was super proud of his big brother. Look how big they both are! I can't wait to frame this one, and years from now I'll put it next to a high school graduation picture. So sweet!

woohoo Water park! Mommy needs to clean her UV filter! see that playground behind them? it's covered in water cannons, sprayers, buckets that dump periodically...so fun! the big pool is behind that. I have a feeling we'll be spending alot more time here.

Pretty Pink

So, I haven't blogged about it, but most of you know we're expecting a girl in just 90 something days! We got the crib all set up, I ordered a VERY plain bumper--but oh so soft! You can't see, but there are raised dots on the bumper and it's uber soft material. There are sheets and a friend is making a quilt with my colors. I made the crib skirt out of tulle and ribbons, and I like it! It was my first attempt at something like this, and I think it turned out pretty well. It's a bit more opaque in person, I guess the flash sees through the material. I don't have a crib mattress in there yet, but once I do you won't see the white material holding it together. I'm also painting some frames and a large painting for her room. Yay for no theme! lol How do you like those pink walls?

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope everyone had a great one. Mine was pretty darn nice. If I couldn't be with my own extended family, this is exactly what I wanted to do. Hanging at the beach on a beautiful day with my hubby and kiddos and good friends...nothing better! There was some serious wind going on, so we couldn't get in the water--just look at those waves! But the kids had a blast even without the ocean. They made sand fortresses and played on the huge pirate ship playground that was behind us. The adults sat back, relaxed, and took turns watching the younguns. Very nice! :)

I STILL have not gotten a picture of Garrison, he disappears when the camera comes out.

Hope your day was as relaxing as ours!

Just a few

Just a few pics of the house because it was requested. I will have more shortly, but this is the boys room with the stripes I painted. I am pleased with how they came out. It's a small room, but big enough for the two beds and a bit of playroom.

Here's the living room. This is the same paint we had in our house before, and we love it! Makes it look so bright and sunny! And the colors matched our furniture and accessories already! woohoo!
