First Popsicle

Happy 3rd Birthday Graham!

Racecars helped us celebrate.

This little one loves cake! I think she sat in this spot for at least 20 minutes after everyone else had left the table to play.

Fireworks helped us finish off our birthday festivities.

Graham's party was July 3rd but his birthday was the following Monday so we had a family day and started out with a trip to the zoo.

A nice "Ding Dong" cupcake to celebrate. One of my personal favorites.

Here is what can happen when you turn your back for a second. Virginia saw a door and realized she could crawl in and of course, silly Graham followed in after her.
Playing with pearls

The Beach

We took Graham to the good ole original "Goofy Golf" course in Fort Walton Beach. It is probably 40 years old and hasn't changed one bit.

Graham has a sweet book about cows. One page is about the cows playing goofy golf. Every time Graham will see the barn and windmill and tell us he wants to play so how appropriate that there was a barn and a windmill for us.

Topping our first round off with a slushy.

Does it look like Graham is about to fall off to you? They were going FULL SPEED!

Can you tell we weren't going full speed? That made me a little nervous to have my 2 year old at the controls.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

I turn my back for a second and the mixer mysteriously gets placed on high speed.
It was everywhere.

What a yummy cake we made.

Florida in June

We celebrated all of our family's summer birthdays while we were in Florida.
Love this picture. Graham thought these sharks were the coolest thing.

Trying to keep her happy as we wait to be seated for dinner and it's already past her bed time.

Summer and Friends

Does Lily's face say it all or what These two kiddos were having some serious fun in the dirt.
Here Graham is helping Lily cover herself in dirt completely. I wish I had the after shot.

We tried to get our boys together to play but they were all so funny. They were all so timid that we literally sat on the porch for almost an hour and a half. What in the world

Notice Graham would have none of the group shot.

Walter and Amy's wedding

Not sure how I managed to not get a single picture of the bride and groom. So sorry Walter and Amy. it was such a beautiful wedding and reception. I think Graham thought the party was just for he and Emma. They seemed to have had quite a time playing and dancing together.

This is the last shot of an all-white little boy. It quickly attracted much dirt and grime that took me three days of delicate hand washing and scrubbing to get it white again.

Memorial Day in Santa Rosa Beach

We had a great time out at Michael's cousin's (Mary) house in Santa Rosa Beach. Wouldn't we all like to have her back yard!

Graham couldn't stand it, he was itching to get to the beach. Thankfully I had packed a swimsuit for dinner for this very reason.

Pool time

This is Virginia's classic smile. It cracks us up.
Graham has really taken to swimming this summer. He's jumping off the diving board and swimming a few feet with no help. We may have the next Michael Phelps!

Dorito mouth-oh the things that fly at GiGi's house.

Yes this is the 3rd swimsuit you've seen her in.
