Kaitlyn's Accident

(right after we got into the big pool from the previous pictures at the fountain...this is what happened)

Seriously, can our children get into any more accidents within 1 week??

Poor Kaitlyn fell at the pool and scuffed up her forehead, nose and upper lip...just in time to have some professional pictures made...great!

An afternoon at the pool. Haven't taken any pictures in a while and just wanted some of the children enjoying some time at the pool. They so love coming up here on "Mommy Day" and playing for a couple of hours between the fountains, baby pool, and big pool. It really is such a special time with them to just hang out, laugh, and enjoy!!

What a face!

She thought she was SO FUNNY under this chair!

I just love bubbles...

Wish little girls could wear them forever!! I just love them!!

Accidents, accidents, accidents

These seem to be our life this summer. Haven't really had any bad ones...ever...until now.

Ugh, little boys and all of their excitement/busyness/not paying attention!!

1st accident - June -- little boy stops in front of moving wagon, Wagon won

2nd accident - same night - little boy falls over in bathroom slamming same said eye into toilet paper dispenser thus creating this swollen/blackish eye area

Glad that this ordeal is over - Last night in the Children's ER - after receiving 5 stitches

This morning - showing off 5 stitches

Handsome boy - Thank goodness June's accidents have healed nicely and you can barely see the stitches when you look at him straight on. Thank goodness!!

Sandestin

To the beach we went. Our first vacation with 2 little ones that didn't involve any other family. It was so fun...I was quite surprised by how well it went. We had 2 bedrooms and the little ones took naps and slept great even staying in the same room and waking up/going to sleep at different times. Success!!

Sandestin Resort is SO NICE and had so much to do. We went to the nature preserve and the pirate ship and treehouse located on the island, we did the playground (numerous times), Ryan was a gerbil in a ball on the water...so cute and wish I had had my camera, we walked/strolled, had dinner out, ordered pizza at the pool, LOVED the pool, went shopping, met up with Mike's coworkers, listened to live music, learned about throwing money in a fountain, went to breakfast, and learned how to open hotel rooms with the little plastic card. (this was definitely a favorite)

All in all, a perfect family vacation!!

Too bad through it all we only took one or 2 pictures...sad, I know.

the kids watching the rain before we left

Day at the train park

Headed over to the Ross Bridge Train Park. Haven't been here in a while and looking for something different to do on a day when you could actually walk outside and not melt. Well, we found lots of bees, bees, and more bees. Maybe there is a reason I haven't been here in a while.

The kids still had fun though...in between hiding/running from the bees. Needless to say, we didn't get to stay long. Pool...guess we will be seein ya soon.

Kaitlyn "highly" upset that she dropped her oreo

Why is it so hard to get a good pic of 2 children together??

Here is my attempt the other day...impossible!

Kaitlyn's "by herself" bathtime

Ryan took a shower the other day and Kaitlyn got to have one of VERY FEW "by herself" baths. She LOVED it. She had the run of the tub and her pick of all the toys. Man, life's little pleasures!
