BITS + PIECES OF SUMMER

 I am perplexed at how fast summer passed...

This is the only time of the year, I wish I was a teacher.
The thought of being home with my kids for 3 whole months makes me smile. Since I don't have that luxury, I took full advantage of our weekends and soaked up every minute.

XOXO

Destin Florida

I won my first trip as inside sales rep - keep buying
Hewlett-Packard AMD servers and Microsoft!
Microsoft definitely spoiled us, everything was amazing.

Our resort

 Andrew loved the bunk beds & I think

Adrianna secretly did too!

Our View

I could wake up to the turquoise

water and white sand every day.
Most nights we slept with our balcony door

open so we could hear the waves

Our happy place

My little surfer dude

We would wake up before sunrise so we could be the first ones on the beach. Our days consisted of Starbucks coffee, swimming in the ocean, playing football on the beach & searching for seashells. Afterwards, we went to the pool and played. We ordered pizza & ice cream poolside. Nap and repeat…

She could totally be a beach bum.
Adrianna is the only person I know that always has perfect hair - even at the beach!

My favorite man kept the 

Miami Vice drinks coming!

We were out on the beach with flashlights crab hunting and all of a sudden fireworks starting going off... The resort next to us had a firework show... talk about perfect timing!

Harbor Docks restaurant has amazing seafood & great atmosphere right on the bay. Andrew loved watching the boats. No seafood for him, he ate McDonalds

happy meals everyday.

 

I LOVE these two babies!
They love to travel and never complain. They kept us entertained the whole drive. They only slept 2 hours home and were awake the rest of the time. When they woke up Jeremy and I were rocking out to 90s music... at first they wanted us to change it but then they started enjoying it! 

I hope these are the memories they carry in their hearts forever!

Love you Destin - hope to see you again!

XOXO

Swim Party ♥

One last taste of summer before school begins.

We hosted a back to school swim party at Mt. Nebo 

My kids were having friend withdrawls.

It was so much fun!

15 kids + 6 adults

Andrew had not seen his friend Jaden in a year.

They picked right back up like no time had passed at all.

Happy Summertime!

XOXO

birthday trip

Andrew only requested one thing for his birthday... he wanted to go swimming so instead of getting him lots of toys, we stayed in the new lodge at Mt. Magazine.

 

We hiked to Signal Hill - I can't believe my little Andrew did it all by himself. He asked me to carry him a few times but I kept telling him how exciting it will be to tell everyone that he hiked to the highest point in Arkansas at 5 yrs old! He held strong & did it! Jeremy and Adrianna pretty much ran to the top.

However, he did talk his sister into giving him a piggy-back ride on the way back down!

After the hike, we ate subway sandwiches & spent

the rest of the night at the pool. Great family fun!

XOXO
