Santa Rosa Beach 2013

Our beach trip this year was awesome.  We tried something new and went to Santa Rosa Beach, FL.  Needless to say, we will definitely be going back!  We had a blast.  Loved the clear blue water and white sand.  The weather was great.  

Luke and Allie loved the water...and their boogie boards.  

 The kids got to share a neat room with bunk beds.  

 Thumbs up for some great food!

 Got to eat at Dawson's creamery at Sea Side.  Dawson was all smiles.

 We ate LOTS and LOTS of ice cream at Blue Mountain Creamery.  Best ice cream ever.

 Took the Luke and Allie to play putt putt for the first time.

5-6 Braves end of the year party

We had our t-ball end of the year party at our house.  We had such a wonderful last year of t-ball.  Finished the season 6-6.  Luke had 4 big home runs and contributed 22 runs.  We had a such a good time getting to know the parents and kids this year.  We also had excellent coaches....and boy oh boy did some teams have doozies of coaches.  A tad nervous about Luke moving up to 7-8 machine pitch next year, but I guess we will cross that bridge when we get there.  Go Braves!

Alabama Jubilee 2013

We went to Point Mallard for the annual Alabama Jubilee Hot Air Balloon Classic the Sunday before Memorial Day.  We've never been on a Sunday evening to see the hot air balloons.  We went with the Jonathan, Kerry, Ava and Evan Hill this year (along with others that were there!).  Balloons were beautiful along with good food and fireworks.  We all had a blast and can't wait to do it again next year!

Last day of Kindergarten

Today was Luke's last day of Kindergarden.  Bittersweet.  We've had a good year....lots...I mean LOTS of sickness, but all in all a great year.  It's amazing how much he has learned this year.  I never would have thought he would be a reader by the end of the KG year.  He's pretty good at it, too!  So proud of Luke.  He is such a sweet, tenderhearted and caring little boy.  Pray he stays that way!

JES field day

Field Day at Johnson was May 16th.  Luke had a BLAST....along with the rest of the school.  We had a bit of bad luck the day before...Luke had strep throat.  Yep...had to end the school year with something he hadn't had.  So glad he got to go to field day, though!

Luke and Mrs. Champion

We are now puppy owners....

Yes, I gave in!  We got a puppy.  A Miniature Schnauzer.  Molly is her name.  For those who know me well, I am a complete clean-a-holic.  I can't help it.  It's just who I am.  Honestly, I have always been this way!  So, it took a lot for me to give in a get a dog....an inside dog.  

 So....here's the story....Cynthia and Jamie have Alice, also a miniature Schnauzer.  She is an awesome dog!  Has very few accidents in the house and obeys very well.  Well, our kids (and Cory and I) LOVE Alice...I mean love, love that dog.  They ask for a dog all the time.   AND....I grew up with an inside dog...Scooter.  Many memories with that dog.  I know, I know....she will have accidents and chew on things.  Well, it's just time for me to let go (just a little!). 

 Prayers that everything is going to go well.....

Here are some cute picts of Molly...
