Fourth of July

We enjoyed our second annual July Fourth with the Heymanns! Ron goes crazy with fireworks so there is no need to fight the crowds at the resorts! We always have so much fun letting the kids run around and play, while the adults hang out. Ayda was off with Kate and other friends the whole evening so I didn't get a picture of her! Hadley had fun with the sparklers this year...she learned from last year not to touch the end! ouch!!

 Hotty Hubby grilling up some burgers!!

Harper once we got home...she was tuckered out from the big party!

REI Adventures

Kevin and I love going to REI and act like we are outdoorsy people! In reality...we are not! I have zero interest in camping with bugs and dirt! But we all had fun one day roaming around looking at stuff. And then Harper ended up in a fancy backpack...new babywearing gear?? haha! She was not too sure about the idea! I think she will stick with her Ergo.

Summer Waves!

We took a day trip to Jekyll Island to check out Summer Waves with Reagan and the kids. We were all really impressed and the kids had an absolute blast!!! Ok the adults did too! They loved the slides, lazy river, kids splash zone, and the HUGE bucket that dumped gallons of water on your head! It was a perfect day!

 One thing Harper is really good at...napping when she gets tired, regardless of where that might have to be! I guess as the third kiddo she has no other choice! I am thankful too!

 Playing with Reagan!

 Jack!

 Ayda and Kate under the waterfall! Love their friendship!

Hadley was not intimidated at all by the slides. She was a little bummed she couldn't go on the "big" slides yet too. Soon, sweet girl...probably next summer!

A Visit With Papa Joe!

My dad was driving through Jax on his way back to NY so we met for a quick lunch. The girls loved getting play with Papa Joe and Cody! I think kids just know grand parents are special...Harper had no issues being held by my dad. Though we don't get to see him often Ayda and Hadley always pick up where they left off...never a shy minute with him! I love that! So glad we got to see him and can't wait for the next visit. The girls were promised M&Ms when they see my dad next...and they will hold him to that promise!!! :)

Father's Day

We went to Jax to spend Father's Day with Jim. I am so glad we did. He really seemed to enjoy our company and the food was very good as usual. I wish we could celebrate with my dad as well but we called and chatted!! It was really a nice day and I hope that my dad, Jim, and Kevin felt how much they are loved and appreciated!

 Kevin and his 3 girls. They adore him so much! He makes them laugh, guides them, loves on them, and protects them. I hope as they grow they truly know how much they mean to him. He is proud to be daddy to 3 daughters! I absolutely love watching him with them!

So thankful for Jim and all he has done for me over the years. He is a special man! My girls love their Papaw so much too!!!

The Girls' Baptism

What a special day June 14 was. All three of our girls were baptized at St. Peter's Episcopal church. It was a beautiful day and the girls did so good. Ayda said she would be shy but she did exactly what Father Stephen asked her to. Hadley of course made us all laugh. After she was baptized she came to me and said "Now can we have the cake?!?" so the entire church could hear her!

 Sweet family picture

 Lauren is Ayda's God Mother

 Ron and Raegan are Hadley's God Parents

 Bobby and Leah are Harper's God Parents

We appreciate so much what each girl's God Parent does for them. We hope and pray they always have a hand in the growth of the girls. 

Hadley was not disappointed by the cake either! We enjoyed the cake after having a wonderful lunch at Cafe Karibo!

Downtown Disney

In June we went to Kevin's parents to visit his dad. On the way home we surprised the girls with a stop at Downtown Disney! They were so excited and could not wait to eat lunch at T-Rex Restaurant. Harper was NOT impressed with the crazy dinos and loud noises! It was a fun family day though!!

We found a hat shop as we were walking around. The girls looked so cute in the big floppy hats they picked out! We just played around and then put them back...though they begged for a hat!

 Of course we HAD to enjoy some mickey ice cream! YUM!!!!
