A few more vacation pics

I just couldn't pass these up!

Shopping makes the boys a little crazy!

On our balcony
On our way out to dinner. I don't know if you can see Zane's eyes but these boys were TIRED!! They played and slept hard all week!

STILL Gulf Shores

Jared and Zane went deep sea fishing. They really had a great time and caught a lot of fish. We met two families on the beach that chartered a boat so Jared and Zane went in with them. The families invited us to dinner with them that night (grilled fish at their condo). It was a lot of fun to get to know them. I'm usually getting tired of the sand at the end of a trip but I think I could go again NOW! Maybe if we could fly =)!

This was the long day of driving. He was tuckered out!!Of course we couldn't go to Little Rock with out going to Krispy Kreme. We have one here and I haven't been ONCE!!

Gulf Shores

Last week we took the boys to Gulf Shores. We had a GREAT time. I think it's the first vacation that we've been on where someone wasn't sick or it didn't rain most of the time!! Both of the boys LOVED the ocean. I didn't get very many pictures of Zane because he was always out riding the waves. I got more of him with the water camera!! Harrison loved the waves, too!! He's a little dare devil. We went thru Memphis this time. We had to exchange something there at a shop and thought it would be fun to take the boys to the Peabody. We got to see the ducks walk in. The family picture here is the ONLY family picture that we took the whole trip. Don't you love my beach hair!! Right now Harrison LOVES golf (really loves!!). Every morning when he woke up he asked if we were going to go play golf that day. When we told him that we were going to stay the night in Little Rock before we came home, he asked if they had golf courses there. Then while sitting at Krispy Kreme (before church) he asked if we could skip church and go play golf! I know as soon as we get him some real clubs he'll lose interest. We'll see!

Redneck Water Slide

My family came over yesterday for Memorial Day cookout. Jared bought some big pieces of plastic and made the BEST slip and slide!!! We put bubble bath and water all over the slide. It was VERY slippery once the kids (and Jared) got wet. We had SO much fun!! The only problem was the abrupt stop at the end!! Next time, we need to extend the slide a LITTLE longer.
This is Zane and Harrison and my nieces Katherine and Kalin.

Camping

Last weekend we went "camping" in our backyard with Aaron, Carrie, and Jacob. We stayed out there until after midnight, but then it got VERY cold. We brought the boys in and A,C,&J went home. The boys were confused about why they went to sleep in the tent and woke up in their beds!

Mother's Day

We had a GREAT Mother's Day yesterday!! Harrison was sick from Thursday thru Saturday night so I kept him home from church (don't worry- that's not the great part!). Jared and Zane brought home Marketplace Grill for lunch along with a rose, a manicure/pedicure gift certificate, and a shopping trip to Cravings (a REALLY cute maternity store) with Jared. It was very sweet. My parent's just got home from their cruise and they came out for a little while. Then we played outside for the rest of the day. We had a bonfire going so we went down and roasted hot dogs and Jared made steaks on the grill. The boys sat in the hot tub while we sat on the porch and talked. It was just a great family day. I'd been in the house since Thursday so it was so nice to get some fresh air and sunshine! There we 50 cute picture opportunities but didn't have my camera out there!! I am officially out of my first trimester and feeling MUCH better. I'm actually excited about cooking this week! My poor family has been living on take out and BLT's, but they have not complained. They're wonderful!!

Breakfast at the Fire Station

Last weekend we went to the fire station for a pancake (and sausage and bacon) breakfast. The boys really enjoyed seeing the fire trucks up close and personal.
