Baby Houston?

Houston is growing up way too quickly.  It seems like overnight has totally turned into a toddler...full speed ahead!

On our last visit to our cousin Molly's we played in the water.  Molly & Houston decided to take a dip after they were dried and had their clothes on!  I think they had more fun the second time around.  Look at those smiles.

                                    which resulted in this!  Baby or big boy we love him.

Fun Day On The Farm

Last week we spent a day at Mama Ann & Popa's house.  What fun we had!

We spent time with our cousins.......

                                      Hey, what are you guys looking at?

Popa was "gifted" chickens by his neighbor.

                                           Two eggs...what a treat!
We had visited last week and saw the prettiest little bird eggs in a nest in an apple tree.  No camera that day so we went to see the eggs again and guess what we saw......

The sweetest little birds ever!  Such a great surprise.  The kids were so excited.  On our next trip we're hoping the blueberries are ready!  Houston's first year to pick--he already knows how to eat them!

Getaway

Hugh had some appointments on the coast this week so the fam took a quick trip with him.  We started in Fairhope.  Such a cute little city--coastal homes, spanish moss, and tons of character.  The kids love it.

We stopped to play at a fountain.  Houston would not take his eyes off the water!

We took a walk out on a pier.  We couldn't believe how many fishing boats were leaving.  The locals all told us the oil was about 5 miles away from where we were.

OK, so here is one of the real reasons we go to Fairhope whenever possible.  Panini Pete's has the best Paninis you'll ever eat.  If you're anywhere remotely close you must eat here.  I recommend the turkey or tuna Panini.  Hugh would totally recommend the turkey all the way!

 

OK, back to the kids, although I wish I had a panini right now!  We headed down the coast and spent some time swimming since it was blazing hot out.  All of the kids love jumping in the pool.  Here's Aidyn making a splash....

Hollyn had to make a splash too!

Do no think Houston was going to get left out of the fun.  The words "no fear" describe this little man pretty accurately!

The kids (& Minnie Mouse) were ready for some rest.

Dance Recital

Here is a picture of the girls from their dance recital back in April.
Their class all dressed as sailors and they were about the cutest group
of girls you've ever seen.  The dance was cute too!  Aidyn is on the left in this photo for those who might need help.

Getting the Summer off to a fun start

We've been having fun and staying busy already this summer.  The girls started a gymnastics class and seem to really enjoy so far.....they are still working on basic skills, but staying active!







We've planted our "garden" again this year and the kids have enjoyed helping us.

Houston has been having his own fun around here.....ruling the roost as many would say, but can you blame us?
