Allie's first Bama game

 We usually take a trip or two down to see Bama play every year...this time we took Allie with us.  SHE LOVED IT!  Especially the cheerleaders.  Luke enjoyed it more this year...he actually kinda  knows what is going on now!  Roll Tide!

Allie gets her ears pierced

 All Allie has talked about is getting her ears pierced.  So, we thought it would be a good 4th Birthday gift.  She did great!  Thankful Hobbs jewelers does both ears at the same time!

Happy 4th to Allie bug!

We did a small family party for Allie a couple of days before the BIG princess dress up party.  I knew I had just a small widow of time to do this dress up party.  Boy, was I glad I did it!  All the girls had such a wonderful time.  So glad I had lots of help.  Makeup, nails and hair....and lots and lots of glitter.  Hoping Allie will remember this one!

 Just like Repunzel...we did some floating lanterns on Allie's actual birthday.  

Happy 7th to Luke

Instead of a big birthday party this year, Luke decided to have a couple of buddies, Tucker and Bryson, over to spend the night.  

Luke's first day of 1st grade

Well, another summer has come and gone.  This one has really went by too fast since it was Luke's first summer between grades.  Now I know what parents mean by "a too fast summer"!  Seems like yesterday Luke was starting Kindergarten.  Now, time for Luke to start 1st grade.  Same school, Johnson Elementary, and same teacher, Mrs. Champion.  I think this will be an awesome year!

Our little dancer

Allie has ALWAYS wanted to take dance, ballet, gymnastics....whatever she could.  So, we decided we would let her take a ballet, tap and gymnastics combo class at Kelly's Studio of Dance this year.  She has loved every second!

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.
