Last weekend we attended baby Holland’s baptism and it was a lovely day all around!
Of course Maxwell got in some major baby holding time and couldn’t have been happier!
As cute as it gets!
Ballroom
Wednesday night was Spencer’s first ballroom. Ballroom is a true rite of passage around here. Spencer sure looked sharp!!
All of the boys in his group got together for dinner before and they were quite the handsome crew!
One last pic before they headed out the door…
Here’s a pic of all the girls in his group – I don’t know many of them but it’s fun to see.
He’s in the late group so pickup isn’t until 9:15! We were all there waiting to see him walk out though and didn’t he look so nice?!
We ended up all being there post cheer game and post football game so I got a pick of all 3! Hooray!
Spencer said it “really wasn’t even that bad actually”…I’m going to take that as a win! Proud of my handsome 6th grader!
Maxwell’s first ballroom here.
Roll Tide
Last weekend Ronnie very nicely hooked us up with some box seats for the AL v. USF game and it was the most fun! We took a crew and headed down for the 6:00 kickoff.
Samantha and Frances were having the best time the whole day. Their matching outfits, their new hats, their giggles. I love them.
The box setup is always so nice…great seats and plenty of food! These kids were in heaven!
The game was a little touch and go for a while but thankfully AL pulled out the W! Despite some of the bad plays, it’s still so fun just to be there and see the game. No one does pageantry in football like Alabama!
It was also the night they dedicated “Saban Field” and Nick Saban was there at halftime which was cool.
These two were fully entertained – and entertaining us! – the whole night!
And this AL fan simply could not be cuter…
even with a blue tongue!
Roll Tide!!
More Orange Beach
We had a nice afternoon on the beach Saturday afternoon playing with cousins…
and some even swam out to the sand bar! They might have gotten a few more jelly fish stings but thankfully no sharks!!
It was a perfect afternoon at the beach and I could have sat out there all evening…
But we had to get cleaned up to go to dinner.
We did have a birthday boy to sort of celebrate after all!
Cousins!
We headed out about 9am Sunday morning and I will not go into details of our SEVEN hour drive home but let’s just say we were very, very glad to be home when we finally made it.
A fun long weekend!
More Orange Beach
Sunday at the beach was a much prettier day! We got up and got going to get in some good beach time!
Samantha had said she wasn’t going to get in the ocean because she’s afraid of sharks…but that didn’t last!
Lots of beach football always!
I’m more of a beach walker and sitter than a beach football player!
We took a mid-day break from the heat to get lunch at The Gulf…
Love my people.
We then made a pit stop at Alvin’s Island…
More fun tomorrow!
