What is summer without.........

Watermelon!!!

Fun 4th!

The weekend was a lot of fun as we celebrated with family and friends. Charles and I were able to go out to the lake Friday evening and hang out with friends. Saturday morning we went to Lula to swim and eat with family. It was so nice to have everyone together and the babies had a great time getting so much attention. Later in the afternoon we headed over to the lake to Blake and Michael's house, they are so much fun! They had the slides out for the kids and tons of food for everyone. I love were we live and all the great people. We were out past the babies normal bedtime but not late enough for fireworks, maybe next year.

The kids had a great time swimming and as you can see Bryant loves his Pappy

The little kids went crazy over Lucy Kate and Bryant. They wanted to walk them and push them around in there cars all evening. It was perfect and I enjoyed the help.

Paige and I at the lake

I love this man so much!

She figured it out

I had seen it on other people's blogs, the duck tape on diapers trick and now I see why. Lucy Kate has figured out how to get her diaper off and she thought it was so funny.

Gaines Arrived

One very proud dad!

Our good friends Scott and Julie Flowers welcomed there little bundle of joy into the world on June 25th around 1:30 p.m. He was about 1 month early so we were a little nervous but he was perfect and Julie was great! He weighed in at 6 lbs and 6 oz and they are home and doing great. Things like this just make you thank God for his amazing grace and His blessings.

Time with Family

Charles' mom, brother, sister-in-law and two nephews were able to be here for Mrs. Emma's funeral last week. Scott and Christopher were just here before I left to go to the beach so they were able to see Mrs. Emma before she passed away. We were able to spend a lot of time together and this was the first time we have met Evan. We are planning on seeing everyone again for Thanksgiving, it has been nice to see Charles' mom more lately and we really appreciate that they were came to celebrate a precious woman. Please continue to pray for Mr. Roger, Chuck, and Allen as they are figuring out a new way to approach each day without a loved one.

Too cute reading to Bryant and Evan

Anything that works

In our den we have all the toys stored underneath the cabinets. I always get toys out and close the doors and they have never tried to open them. I was desperate a couple of weeks ago and I was trying to cook supper with them crawling all around me and a light bulb went off!!! I swung open those doors and they drug every single toy out and they were entertained until time to eat. WooHoo!!!! It was a mess to clean up but they loved climbing in and handing the toys to each other.

Daddy Day

I have not had the opportunity to blog much so I wanted to back blog. We did celebrate father's day and I had to share the cute pictures. The babies woke daddy up with breakfast and presents. Bryant and Lucy Kate gave Charles a sweet book about dads and I gave him a hunting camera that he wanted. He is so easy to buy for because he always "needs" some hunting gadget! We went to church in Lula to be with Charles' family, had lunch and did some swimming. We were also able to visit with my dad and have supper. A great day with all the men we love so much and remembering those that we have lost.

Good Morning Daddy we have food and gifts!

Father's Day in Lula

Bryant loves the water and will put his face in every chance he gets.

He is going to be a little fish!
