Twice in one week

Blogging twice in one week?? WHAT WHAT! I am on a roll. It is birthday party week at our house, MM is almost 2. My how time flies by when your having fun. Brayden woke up with a fever this morning :( He has been coughing and having a runny nose all week, but has felt fine until this morning. So, I thought while I have some down time I would catch you guys up some more :)

Last time when Tad was home, we had a morning out to Dothan by ourselves. I had a doctors appointment and it was nice to be able to spend some alone time with him. Our lives have been so busy lately, I have felt like I haven't gotten to spend any time with him.

 Once in a blue moon these 2 kids are nice to each other and will love on one another.

 We had a get together for Shane's birthday and after everyone had left, this is what they do. They were just missing Kyle and Corey sitting in-between them with their phones in hand too.

 She's such a cool baby

 I love this picture! It was one of those lazy Saturday's at Izzy and Papa T's house watching cartoons.

This was our last beach day trip for this year. We went to St. Andrews and all of the kids had a blast.

On September 5th, Tad and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. I can't believe we have been married for 7 years and share 2 beautiful but wild kiddos! I am so glad God saw fit for us to be together and to go through so many trials in our marriage. It has honestly made us a stronger couple/team and we appreciate each other so much more. You just have to see one another through all the bad to get to the good..fight together not separate! Tad called me on our anniversary at 5:30 in the morning to tell me Happy Anniversary. BUT when the house phone rings that early and scares you have to death, you most of the time think the worst of things. So, he literally scared the daylights out of me until I heard Happy Anniversary come out of his mouth. He has a way of making me freak out quite frequently.


Like I said, its birthday party week for Mollie Mae. The theme is hot air balloons and making hot air balloons has not been my friend at all. I finally last night made one that is still holding up today so far. My house looks like a candy store, birthday party store threw up everywhere. The dining table is covered in banners, lanterns, and tissue pom poms. I just thought I was behind last year working on her birthday party, nothing compares to this year.

Summer is over and Fall is nearing...

I cannot believe that summer is pretty much over, the hot weather, beach trips, swimming in the pool.... Time to put away all the beach chairs, swimsuits, and sand toys until next year. Now that school has started back, we are back into a routine (sort of). Brayden is loving 1st grade so far and we are loving that Aunt Sam is at the school.

In July we had our annual Family Beach Trip :)

We haven't gotten to take the boat out as much as we would have liked to this summer but we did enjoy the times we got to ride it! Next summer will be so much now that we have the hang of things.

1st day of 1st grade. I cannot believe we have a 1st grader in our house.

I am tired and the kids are already in bed snoozing, so I am going to join them :) I pray everyone had a wonderful start to their week!
