BFF

July 15, 2014

My BFF, Hannah, stopped through Birmingham on her way to the beach with her mom and 2 precious kids, Caroline and Joshua.  I LOVED having her here and HATE that these are the only pictures I got.

U pick em!

July 14, 2014

Happy Monday!

Susan always comes up with the best ideas for entertainment. Last week she decided to take the boys to go blueberry picking!  Despite his face in this picture…

Maxwell was actually really excited. Mainly because he got to wear his blue jeans which he would wear every day if I let him. And, don’t worry, I just ordered him some new ones since these are high waters all of a sudden! and why does he look 10 in this picture?!

Anyway, they drove out to Blueberry Farms in Dora, AL and had a ball picking the ripest blueberries on the bush!

Susan said Spencer ended up with way more blueberries in his belly than he did in his bucket!

Not surprising. Also not surprising? Maxwell didn’t eat one.  He said he wants us to make blueberry pancakes and waffles though!

The 4th!

July 11, 2014

Finishing up the Naples pics with the 4th of July! We started the day with a trip to the beach!

Spencer was dressed especially patriotically! (is that a word?)

We then went back to the house and enjoyed our last full day by taking it easy on GJ who had a broken rib.

They’re so gentle with the injured.

GJ and Maxwell then baked a cake for America. They knew he was coming! 🙂

Cheers!

Then the cousins showed up and we had – what else? – another tea party!

After plenty of outside play, the kids were pooped…

So we chilled out with some lunch and some Frozen (for about the 253rd time that week!)

It was a great 4th all around. I have to say though, Robert and I were the most patriotic of all…

a living flag for goodness sake!  🙂

Hope you all had a great week.  Happy Friday!

Summer Vacay part 2

July 10, 2014

More Naples…more fun!

Robert got to play golf while I drove the cart…

The boys had another tea party…

We rented a bike for Maxwell to practice on all week.  He wants one for his birthday so we thought this would be a good introduction. He was so excited about it he rode it out of the store!

He was pretty proud and rode it all around the courtyard for a while…

But then he managed to fall off twice and got a little skittish about the bike. He really spent more time on the tricycle which was fine.  We’ll get him riding that bike with a little practice!

Spencer loved his bike ride!
