Atlanta trip to Legoland (September 2014)

 we went to visit Namer. She was very happy! She was not all there mentally. She thought Granddaddy was still alive and talked about him nonstop (which made me know how much she loved and adored him). She knew who I was and liked to talk about me when I was little. She smiled A LOT! Even though she was not all there I am so thankful she is happy!

 

 This is Jack's sweet, loving face! Jack has always loved Namer!

 

 We went to Ikea :)

 

 Varsity!

 

 the boys shared the couch bed. It took them a while to fall asleep, but once they were out they slept great!

 

 LEGOLAND!!!!

 

 the boys loved making the cars and racing them down the hill

 

September 2014 (first day of 3K and Kindergarten)

Charlie's First day of school!!He was very excited! He picked his lunchbox out and used Jack's preschool bookbag.

We talked about school starting for a while and showed him his school (which is our church) and he would tell us for a while that he didn't want to go to school because it is scary. But the first day of school came and he went in like a champ!! He LOVES school and wants to go everyday and even would cry the days he didn't get to go (at first...now he is ok with coming home with me).

 

Jack was excited too! He picked out his lunchbox and bookbag also.

 

 we got ice cream to celebrate school starting

 

 mimi and papa came over for a soccer practice

 

 First soccer game of the season

 

 We are so thankful for Grandparents!!

 

 I never get tired of seeing my sweet babies asleep!

my 32nd birthday beach trip

 my beach birthday trip was so much fun! I love my little family and spending time with them and love that my birthday falls in the summer time so we can take fun trips like this :)

 

 we caught a big crab

 

 and a hermit crab

 

 we went night time crabbing (it's a must!!!)

 

 

 be still my heart!!

 

 we had such a great night getting ice cream...

 

 and letting the boys get a little toy and then this happened...

 poor buddy slipped off the couch when he was trying to get comfy and busted his eye. He cracked the glass coffee table. He was REALLY lucky the glass didn't go all the way through his eye lid.

 

 pure joy!!
