Friday Happiness

One more

I almost forgot this one! I think it's my favorite

Playing at the park

For Lucy

My friend Lucy bought his first Lynard Skynard shirt. What a rock star

Tow head

If you look up the term tow head in the dictionary, I think this boy's photo should be attached. I figured my kids would be as fair skinned as their Momma!

Swinging gymnast

Kiki started gymnastics about a month ago. She absolutely loves it! I bought her a few leotards off of ebay and this one showed up on Friday. She wore it the entire weekend, except for about 3 hours when we went to a museum on Saturday. I'm surprised she didn't ask to sleep in it!

The many faces of Kiki

Kiki actually tolerated a few pictures over the weekend. She was trying to make silly faces, but her silly faces are just adorable IMO.

Must have been the incredible weather we had! The highs were low to mid 80's, which is nice for July in the South. Unfortunately the temp will be creeping back up to the 90's this week. boooo

Props

I've been looking around for cute props for pictures, but didn't want to spend too much money. I bought this chair at an auction for cheap and decided to just refinish it myself. I think it turned out really cute!

11 months

Has it really been 11 months? What happened? You were just born!!

Family shots

So of course we had to take some family pictures out on the beach.

Here are the four of us...

Bubby just learned how to clap and it was so cute watching him practice...

I love this picture! I'm pretty partial, but I think they are just so stinkin' cute...

Here's Kiki with one of her favorite cousins...

Non-family beach pics

I still close my eyes and hear the waves crashing at my feet. I smell the Water Babies SPF 50. I taste the cold banana freeze through my straw.

This was the room from our condo the first day we arrived. This is the most seaweed we saw all week.

After the first day, the seaweed was practically gone! I've never seen the water so clear in Destin, FL. Usually it's hit or miss. You may get a great week you may get a stinky week!

Looks like these beach chairs are calling my name!


Rainbows


Love the white sandy beaches!

Our little orange bucket

The Tiki Bar is in the background. Oh how I miss you!

Please do not feed the seagulls at the Crab Shack!


Our last night there

Sprinkler fun!

Blonde hair, blue eyes....

... the only difference between them! They are my two favorite guys in the world!

And now it's complete.... I hope!

The string of bad luck is now hopefully complete with the worst case of pink eye I've ever had. Yes, in both eyes. Totally serious.

On that note, I'm putting up more Florida pictures since I'm sitting at home another day.

As soon as we got there, Bubby found the stairs. The only time he wasn't clinging to me, he was trying to climb the stairs.

My step-sister and the family

The girls were ready for the beach as soon as we got there!

My brother and his family. This looks like an advertisement with the perfect little family :)

Love this boy!

Z winking!

Kiki's Sandgator

We were all pooped by the end of the week!
