Beach 2010

In July we went with the Sisks and the Foxes to Panama City Beach for a much needed vacation!  We had such a great time, even the kiddos who I’m pretty sure didn’t want to leave.  Thanks again to David and Kim for inviting us!

McKennon is my little beach bum, she loved playing in the sand and crawling into the ocean

Houston and Lainey (or his Yainey as he calls her).  They are the best of buds.

Houston dug in the sand all day!

 

My little peanut so worn out she took a nap on the beach!

“Buried in the sand” 

 

McKennon checking out J.T.!

Train ride at Pier Park

Houston’s 1st “carnival” ride… the flying airplanes… Pops would have been so proud.  Houston loved them so much he rode twice once with Daddy, once with Mommy!

 

Loving the ocean! No oil here!

Houston and his infamous “trick”!  He does it everywhere and he is REALLY proud of it.

McKennon and J.T. playing spoons.

Lainey and Houston digging and digging and digging…. it was almost impossible to get a good picture of these two because they were Always too busy digging! 

1st Birthday Party!!!!

We had a great family birthday party to celebrate McKennon’s 1st year at Ginna’s today!

 

Funny faced little cupcake at her party!

 

Playing with Aunt Kelly!

Spoiled with gifts!

The Joneses! 

Cake time!!!!  (eggless cake that is!)

Big Brothers have to show their sisters how to do things!

Why even dirty your hands?

Happy girl!

Happy Birthday McKennon!!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday to our sweet, beautiful, amazing little girl.  Elizabeth McKennon this year has flown by for your mommy and daddy and every moment of your existence has been a blessing.  Your smile and laugh can lighten any room, your bright blue eyes melt our hearts and your tiny little feet make us giggle. 

Here are just a few things that are special about you on your birthday:  You can say Mama, Dada and “all done” (sounds like ahbun!)  you can say “more” in sign language and other than that just point for whatever you want.  When you crawl you drag one leg and we appropriately call you “scooter”!  You can pull up and are becoming quite a pro at cruising around the furniture… you are my little climber and I have to keep a close eye on you because you are very sneaky! 

Your sleeping habits are not the best and you like to wake up early in the morning… much to mommy and daddy’s dismay.  You give the most amazing little wet kisses and snuggly hugs.  You love cheese and fruits and only will eat veggies if they are in a baby food jar.  When you are done eating you simply start throwing food off your highchair while laughing (not funny to Mommy!)  You adore your big brother and I’m pretty sure that Pops is your favorite person in the whole world!  You love to sing and dance and your favorite toy right now is a little green John Deere tractor!  McKennon your Mommy and Daddy want you to know that you brighten our world and we love you with all our hearts.  Happy birthday Sis and we can’t wait to celebrate with family this weekend!

Beating the Heat!

To say that we have had a hot Tennessee summer would be a small understatement!  Temperatures have stayed in the 90’s and hit the low 100’s recently… the only way to beat the heat is play in the water of coarse!  We love our little fishes!

Watts Barr

Early in the summer we were so lucky to be invited with MeMe and Pops to Watts Barr to visit Pops’ “Ole Beer Business Buddies”  at the Hannah’s lake house!  To say we had a blast is an understatement!

And what weekend with a few families in the beer business wouldn’t be complete with your children swimming in a silver bullet Coors boat!!! 

Thanks to to Scotty and Debbie for a great weekend!
