Our day at the lake...

Titus has been very working at the Lake Lot all day today trying to get it cleaned up and looking nice. There is still lots of work to do but he is making major progress...

Thomas and I decided to do what we do best...go play in the water & watch Daddy work...

Which worked out just great for us..

The clean up in progress...

When it started to get hot Thomas & I came up with yet another great idea...we called on Grandaddy & Pappaw Jack to take us for a boat ride and bring us some lunch...

Thomas takes over the wheel...

Then Daddy decided he couldn't miss out on all the fun..so he joined us too

So much for working...maybe next week..

Going to Grandmom's...

So Thomas has been planning to go spend the night with Grandmom & Grandaddy tonight and he knew that they were going to come pick him up late this evening...so after we pack his backpack I am running around the kitchen getting some stuff done & I hear the garage door open so I go see what Thomas is up to...He is standing in front of my car in the garage starring at the driveway...I ask him what he is doing and he says"I'm waiting for them to pick me up"

Look at that little face...he can't wait...

The kid makes me sit on the porch with him for like an hour waiting for them to come pick him up and the whole time wearing the backpack... I ask him if he is going to miss me and he says.."well a little" so I say you mean you won't miss me alot?? He says "uh no momma, I'm going to Grandmom's"

Quote for the day...

Earlier today I was reading through some emails and came across some quotes from Maya Angelou, this one really hit home for me...it said this:

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Play Date...

Last night we went over to visit Emily & Grayson. She cooked us a great dinner and then the boys played together.

All those fun toys to play with and you would know they were most entertained by putting old flower pots on their heads!

Our little musicians may start a band next...

they do look pretty natural...

We're Home...

Well we are back from our trip. It's always nice to get home even though I have never actually gotten tired of the beach. I really think I could live there. I do love vacations and especially beach vacations. But its time to get back to reality. And start planning our next trip of course :)

Beach Trip...Day 4...Our Final Day

During our poolside breakfast this morning the boys enjoyed their beverage of choice...Chocolate Milk

Today we also got to play with our friend Jillian, both boys were very happy to see her

Thomas continues to love jumping in the ocean and gets braver each day...
Grayson is warming up to the ocean big time now...

"The brothers" have to say bye bye to the ocean today...its our last day in the sand

Checking out the turtles...

We spotted all kinds of them...

The kids make the most of the shopping trip with us...

That ocean breeze makes Grayson want to nap on his mommy under the umbrella

Riding the Carousel

Right before dark Thomas and I took one last walk on the beach and it was too tempting not to climb up in the life guard stand for a couple of pics. Thomas thought the view from up there was great!

We have had a wonderful trip and are very thankful for the time we got to spend with our boys and with great friends!

Beach Trip...Day 3

Loving life with our toes in the sand...

I Couldn't get this kid out of the ocean today...he loves jumping in the water...

Grayson had all the fun he could take and fell asleep under the umbrella this afternoon

Snack time was by the pool today

The boys got new cars this evening at the gift shop and were very proud

Grayson picked a car and Thomas picked a 4-wheeler

Thomas was cracking himself up again...
Grayson was giving his mommy sugars...

Hanging out on the slide...

Playing the drums at the park on the beach...

A race down the slide...

Swinging...

Grayson sporting his shades...he always wears them this way...

Dinner went much better tonight. Not hardly a quiet peaceful dinner but we are back on the right track. There was a lampshade in the middle of the table however that ended up being worn as a hat. Thomas explained to us it was their "cooker hat"

Good thing the folks at Rossi's, where we dined tonight had a good sense of humor. By the way the food was delicious. Even Thomas ate good and enjoyed it!
