Swim Party

On August 22nd, Isaac's baseball team had an end-of-season swimming party. My two water babies had a ball and I'm so glad Isaac gave baseball a chance this year. Even though they had a tough season (and didn't win a game), I think it sparked enough interest in Isaac that he will definitely play again next year. His cousins Jakob and Ethan came in to visit that weekend so they were able to join in the fun too! Here are some pics from the fun party.

The Beach

I have been begging Darren for quite some time now about wanting to go to the beach again. The last time we went was the summer after Layla was born and she didn't even go with us then. My Mom wasn't working so she kept baby Layla with her while we went down. Isaac had been wanting to go back and since Layla had never seen the ocean, I wanted her to be able to go too. We finally found a place for us all to stay. Donny and Janet went too and we all piled in and headed down to Orange Beach for a few days. We actually stayed in the same condo building as we did last time so it was nice to be familiar with things.

As soon as we arrived, the kids begged to change into their bathing suits so they could go down to the water. I wasn't sure how Layla would do with the ocean, but she definitely proved she is a true water baby. She loved it!

The whole week was absolutely great and I can't wait to go back again next year. The beach has always been one of my very favorite places to go and I'm so glad the kids love it too!

Fun at the Farm

I bought a little blow up pool at the end of summer last year on clearance, but had forgotten about it until it was found by Isaac. He had a fit to blow it up to play so one Saturday, we took it over to the farm at Crump to blow it up and let them play. Those kids had more fun with that little cheap pool than I ever could have dreamed and we had a ball just watching them. 

As you can tell, it doesn't take much to keep them entertained and happy!

Tan Lines

I'm sure I will get it for this someday but I just couldn't resist. 

Isaac and Layla both tan very easily and they both tan so pretty.

We aren't in to summer very far at all and they already look like this.

Love these little summertime cuties!

The Howard Party

On June 22nd, the Howard family had their annual birthday party get-together. It was lots of fun and it's always good to see family. We didn't get to do many pictures this time, but I did manage to snag a couple of the kiddos.

silly girl!

Isaac's Birthday Part 2

On Saturday, June 8th, we had Isaac's birthday party. It had originally been scheduled for the previous Saturday, but at the last minute, some of his baseball games had been rescheduled for that day so we had to postpone it for a week. He wanted to have his party at P3, which is an indoor arcade with glow in the dark miniature golf and laser tag. He had several of his buddies there and they all had a great time. Unfortunately, his Mama didn't get any pics of the group as a whole. :(

However, I did get some of the birthday boy and his cake.

Happy Birthday Isaac!

Happy Birthday Isaac!

Happy Birthday sweet boy! 

Your Mama can't believe how fast 6 years have gone by and am sure the next 6 will go even faster.

I hope and pray that you grown into a smart, good-hearted, Christian man. 

Always know that no matter what, you will always be your Mama's sweet baby boy.

I love you.
