Jaxson Starts Preschool

All of his classmates have the same bookbag, so cute!

He was super excited! He started August 10th for 2 full days a week.

NYC Summer 2010 too....

Yankee Stadium

New York Stock Exchange- the market was up on this day= happy people on Wall Street.

NYC Summer 2010

President Obama was in town! Notice the red, white and blue. Empire State Building at night.

Times Square. I have been to New York City several times, this was the first time that you could literally barely move for several blocks. Thanks to Forever 21 opening a store with a huge jumbotron. People would stand for hours watching themselves. I didn't really understand that, but I guess they had nothing better to do.

A view of the Brooklyn Bridge from a ferry.

My first Yankees game in Yankee Stadium. This was the view from my seat- without zoom! A Rod is on 3rd, Derek Jeter on short. We were hoping A Rod would hit #600 while we were there and had the perfect seats, but he waited until the Wednesday afternoon game.

Summer 2010

Here are a few pictures from the summer. We were super busy all summer! A few trips to the beach, one to New York and now school has started. We played at the park a lot and visited McWane Science Center a few times.

Long time, no post......

Hello Bloggers!
It has been a while! We are super busy around here! Brantley finished up summer camp and immediately started 3rd grade and his first season of football. Jax started preschool and is wild as ever! TK turned 31 last weekend, and we all celebrated here at home, with a horrible stomach virus! I am planning on blogging a lot of pictures later tonight!
It is good to be back in the blogging world!

Click on the link above to see what our church small group has been up to. We were so excited to be able to help this family!

Almost 3!

This little boy will be 3 in a week! I am so amazed at what all he can do and say! He loves to play baseball and golf, to read, he counts everything, he can point out all of his shapes, he is almost completely potty trained- yes, I know- he is just stubborn when he is outside playing and doesn't want to come inside!

He is so much fun- he quickly became my baby to my little buddy overnight! He attends preschool 2 days a week and he loves it! He moves up to the big preschool class next month for the new school year. He adores Brantley and it is amazing to see them together- playing and laughing. 

This year we have a small party planned, instead of a cute themed party- we are doing Toy Story. He is obsessed! We will be updating soon with party pictures! I can't believe my baby is 3!

I scream, You scream, we all scream for.... Ice Cream!

What can be better in 90 degree heat than ice cream? We are taking advantage of these hot days and loving the neighborhood pool and all the frozen treats we can eat!

I heart Barefoot B-B-Q!

If you have visited Seaside lately- there is a new BBQ place across from the beach. It is sooo good! They even deliver to you on the beach!
If you get a chance- vote for them to be on Food Network's Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri.
Send an email to DDDinfo@mac.com
Put Barefoot BBQ Seaside in the subject line, tell them about how neat Seaside is and how eating BBQ at the beach is neat.

Loving the Sand

Last weekend, we took a last minute trip to Panama City Beach/Seaside. We decided at 7:00pm on Friday night to drive down. TK and I packed the car and thanks to modern technology- I found a room online that was available for 2 nights. We had a blast! Most importantly- we beat the oil!

While I have been doing laundry, cleaning house,

Taking care of 2 busy kids, staying inside for 6 days straight due to rain, ............... My husband has been here with his mom, brother and sisters for 9 days!

Life just isn't fair at times!

Summer is a blast!!!

We LOVE summer! We get to sleep late, go to the pool, fun activities and so much more! We have jam packed this week so far, and this is only the first week of summer! Monday we went to the movies, Tuesday we played laser tag, and today- we went to the splash pad. Summers are so much fun, and it has only just begun!



In this picture, the boys are in a firetruck. We had Jaxson's preschool Spring Fling last week. The boys had a blast! All the proceeds went to charity to help a little boy that lives in our city that is battling cancer.

The above pictures were taken today at the splash pad. The boys loved it! They love going to the neighborhood pool, but it gets crowded at times and today was a great day to do something fun! It has been raining here for the past 5 days straight, it rained again today, but we were able to enjoy the sunshine for a little while.

Too Soon!

At the rate this child is growing, I am now realizing that the day he wears this, seems like a long time, but will be here before we know it! Everyone tells you "kids grow up so fast", now I know that it is true! Seems like just the other day he was a toddler! In the fall, he will be a big 3rd grader and playing tackle football. Oh my!

Best Buds!

A few weeks back, we had to "move in" with TK's sister, Brandi, while our house was having an "extreme makeover".
Stella and Jax loved it! They were so excited to have someone to play with 24/7. They both attend preschool 2 days a week, but to have someone to play with all day everyday was a treat! Jaxson loves Stella- as you can tell from the picture!

Heritage Graduation 2010

TK's younger brother, Tyler, graduated this year from highschool.
He is off to Ole Miss in the fall!

During graduation, Jaxson and Stella, were very talkative and we had to move out. We had fun taking pictures though! Jax and Stella are best buds! Stella is TK's sisters little girl. She is just precious!

As always, you can usually find my 2 boys having fun somewhere!
I had to take this picture! While everyone else was taking "family photos" they were
too busy playing with Tyler's cap!

I cant believe....

my baby is almost 3!!!

E-I-E-I- Ooops!

The 2nd grade class at Brantley's school had an end of the year musical, E-I-E-I-Ooops! Brantley was chosen to have a main part, he was the mule. He was shy at first about his costume, then we we walked in to play practice and he saw 3 boys dressed like pink pigs, he decided it was ok to be a mule. He did a great job on all of his speaking parts!

I am a true soccer mom...

This was Brantley's first year at "traveling soccer". He played on the U8 team for our local league. He loves it, but he has to play the whole game, so he is usually sluggish and tired at the end. He has done great! Above are a few action shots taken from the game. He is #11.

A day at the zoo...

On the train- ready to see some "mamimals"

In the children's petting zoo. He was scared at first, then he saw the other children doing it and realized it was ok.

Thankfully in 90 degree weather, our zoo has a splash pad!

I took Jaxson to the zoo last Friday. Our little "last mommy and me trip before summer" . Little did I know that, there would be 100 buses in the parking lot for the "last field trip of the year" for several schools. We still had a blast! That night we finished the day off with a party at the Baron's game that ended with fireworks, daddy and Brantley were able to come too!
