Beach trip #2

We were home for a few days and then left to go back to Orange Beach to stay at the Perdido Beach Resort for a Chicago Title conference. We went do a dinner/banquet one night and had to leave b/c Jay was having a good old fashioned meltdown.

Elle loving her life

We went to a place called "The Gulf" one night. Cool atmoshphere and kid friendly

One last ice cream before heading home

Elle NEVER sleeps in the car but she was worn out

We came home to poor Jay having 2 accident reports at school the next week.....he ran into the wall on the playground one day and then a little girl hit him in the face with a toy another day. Then, he got a full body rash that turned into a staph infection! Had to get a shot----he didn't even cry....and take a round of antibiotics. Poor fella

Beach trip #1

We went to Orange Beach with the Dier family to stay at the Caribe again this year and had a blast. It was kind of rainy most days but we did have a few hours of sunshine and made the most of it.
Fun day on the beach

Jay building a sandcastle

We put Jay's hair in a ponytail one day at the pool and he looked just like Elle!

Tennis and Swim Camp

Graham, Elle, and Marley all did tennis and swim camp at the racket club and loved it. They were so cute!

Memorial Day 2014

We stayed in Hburg for Memorial Day and it was nice not to travel. Josh played in a member-member golf tourney at Canebrake and the kids and I stayed at the pool all weekend.

Elle's Pre-K Graduation

My big girl has had another milestone and graduated from Pre-K! We had her graduation ceremony this week. It's kind of sad for me that time is flying so fast but we are super excited about her starting her big kid school in August at BDS!
Elle and Daddy

Each child had to introduce themselves and say what they wanted to be when they grow up. Elle said she wanted to be a popstar!

The whole crew. They sang the months of the year, days of the week, and some spelling songs.

Her future's so bright she's gotta wear shades!

Dance Recital

Elle had her dance recital last weekend and she was the fish from "The Little Mermaid" and they tapped to "Under the Sea" song. So stinking cute!

Elle was Sleeping Beauty for her ballet act. She did great!

Much to Elle's delight, we had our last soccer game! She is NOT a fan of soccer and was ready for it to be over. Don't know that we will be participating in soccer again!

Growing babies

Elles 5th Bday Party

We had a "Frozen" theme bday party at our clubhouse and pool. Lots of fun friends came and Elle had a blast!
The Cake

The set up. We also ordered fox's pizza for lunch

Singing to the bday girl

Jennie Beth and her family came in town so we got to hang and catch up.

The next day was Mother's Day. We went to church and I got treated to lunch at Half Shell and then hung with these sweet kiddos all day!
