Our Vacation

Sorry for the posts being out of order. It is getting harder and harder to keep up this and Facebook!! LOL!! Jason, Joseph and I decided to head down to the beach for some time by ourselves and stay until the crowds got there on the 4th. We had a very nice time and the "3" of us celebrated our 6th anniversary together! We spent most of the time on the boat and hanging out on the sandbar islands. On Monday we picked up the Taylor's and boated and had lunch with them. Joseph and Mary Cumbie had a blast. We had gorgeous weather and smooth seas!! It was nice to spend some time with my two boys!! Here are a few pics from the week!!

4th of July Weekend!

Friday we headed to my parents for the weekend. It was nice to be around their house on the 4th of July. I always group up swimming and BBQing for the 4th at my second mom's house and was nice to get back to some of that. We are usually at the beach and decided to go the first weekend and part of the week so it worked out nice. We got to visit with grandparents, aunts, uncles cousins and friends and it was lots of fun and not to mention my dad's wonderful grilling!!!! We swam most of the weekend and ate the rest. On Sunday, Blair was baptized. Such a wonderful blessing and sweet moment and so glad that we were able to be part of that on Sunday. It was a great weekend and I hated to see my vacation come to an end!! I missed seeing little K while I was home this weekend and hope to see her really soon!!! Here are some pics from the weekend!

Happy Birthday!!

This past weekend Joseph celebrated his 3rd birthday!! So hard to believe!! We really had a low key weekend. We are having a party later on with another friend of his at our house. Friday Jason's mom dropped Joseph and I off in Centreville while she went and spent the day with Joyce. We swam and celebrated Mimi's birthday with steaks and a cake. The kids even swam that night!!! Saturday we had some family over to celebrate Joseph's birthday and swim. We swam all day!! Joseph was so tired that he slept until 8:30 the next morning. He never does that. He had fun though and it was nice that my grandparents got to visit with him too. I missed seeing little K and hope that Joseph and I get back up that way really soon and see you!! Saturday evening when we got home Jason and I gave him a bike. He is starting to get the hang of it but after riding the gator with no pedaling I think it is a challenge for him. He is so cute on it!! We had a great weekend ending with Father's Day. I couldn't ask for a better father for Joseph. We love you Daddy!! Here are some pics from the weekend!! We are off to the beach at the end of the week for our little time together. I am off next week since Daycare is closed and Jason shuts down but will have to go in some the end of the week. Looking forward to time away with my boys!!

George Family Vacation

Last week my family headed down to Seacrest Beach for some food, fun and sand!! The first part of the week I actually went down with mom and her friends Pat and Paula b/c Dad couldnt' go all week. I stayed with them through Tuesday morning and then drove back and worked two days and then the rest of the clan went down Wednesday evening. We missed little Kensley this year and hope she will be with us next trip!! The kids missed you and have lots of fun things to show you!! We did alot of sunning, playing in the sand and lots of eating!!! It was a very relaxing trip and we all had a great time and did not want to see it come to an end. Some of the wonderful places we ate at were Old Florida Fish House, Pandora's, Hurricane's and Bayou Bills. Old Florida Fish House and Pandora's were probably my favorites. We did eat at Stinky's fish campon Monday night with the girls and it was very good just kind of loud. Mom and I shopped just a little and didn't do too much damage. Lots of fun was had but we did miss you K!! Joseph hopes to play with you soon!! Here are just a couple of pictures from the week!

Summer Fun!

This past weekend we stayed outside all day on Saturday. Joseph swam in his little pool, played on the swing set, rode his horse, you name it we did it. It was fun to have a lazy Saturday around the house. We will be spending time this week with my family at the beach and so looking forward to it. I thought I would share a few pics from the weekend! Enjoy!

Beach + Friends = Fun!!

Two weeks ago some friends of ours (Gregory's & Meadows) headed out for the beach. We had been planning a trip for a while and finally came up with a weekend to get away. No kids might I add. Don't get me wrong we missed the little stinkers the whole time we were gone but it was nice to have lesisurely dining! Basically we stayed on the boat the entire weekend. Eating lunch while we were out on the water and dinner at night. We had some really good food and great weather while we were there!! I can not thank God enough for putting some really good friends in my life. I knew no one when I moved here and am so thankful for the families that have been placed in our lives. Below are some pictures from our weekend! Hope you all are doing well and enjoying Summertime- my favorite!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

What joy it is to be a mother. The day we had Joseph changed me forever. From that tiny baby to almost 3 I can't believe how much he has grown. I thank God everyday for him! I hope everyone had a great weekend!! Our's was very busy and fun filled!! Friday night we had Relay for Life. What a great event!! Our team consisted of about 13 of us and almost everyone was there with kids it tow. It is such a joy to see the children running, laughing and playing with each other throughout the night. I have been very blessed for the wonderful people God has put in my life here in Butler County, Alabama. Very scary moving and not knowing a soul almost 6 years ago to finding wonderful christian friends you can depend on! I love you guys! Saturday morning, Joseph and I headed out to Centreville to spend the day with Mom since we were going to be here on Sunday. We swam and ate BBQ and visited with other family throughout the day. The kids swam ALL day long with no nap. We headed back south around 7 and Joseph was asleep about 10 minutes into the ride and slept until this morning. He then took a 2 1/2 hour nap. He was worn out!! Today we got up and headed to church and then to Jason's grandmother's afterwards for lunch. It was a very low key day around the house this afternoon which was fine with me. Going to be a busy week this week. I had a wonderful Mother's Day and I am so thankful for my own mother. She has taught me lots, listened lots and cried with me lots and I love you so much Mom!! I hope you all have a great week!! Here are a few pictures from the weekend I would like to share!

His Daddy made over!!

Centreville Weekend

Joseph and I loaded up and headed to Centreville this past weekend for a visit. I have not actually gotten to go since the first of the year for a whole weekend so I was looking forward to that. Kenlsey was going to be in a little pageant so I knew we could see her in that and Blair play softball. However, Friday afternoon Blair was singing and some how feel out of the swing and fractured/broke a bone in her wrist so needless to say she isn't playing for a couple of weeks. Friday afternoon the kids got in the pool for a little while and enjoyed the freezing cold water. Daddy cooked hamburgers in between going with Marc and Blair to the ER. Saturday was a lazy day. We rode down to the church for a little while b/c Mom's relay team was having a motorcycle ride fundraiser. We came back and hung out around the pool and got some much needed sun. We got ready and headed to watch little K in her pageant. She was the prettiest one of course to me!! She didn't win but is our little winner. She is the best baby!! And so content! I think I have seen her cry maybe once or twice. Really she is so good and crawling around everywhere!! She is precious! We left there and went to Blair's game and watched them play and then headed to get some supper. Sunday we went to church and then headed home. It was a fun weekend and already looking forward to going back soon. Joseph is so loving the pool!!! I hope he is going to be swimming by the end of summer!!! Here are some pics from the weekend!
