First Day of the Trip

We made it to Prattville, AL last night about dinner time.  The kids did really well in the car and even slept some of the time. We only stopped 2 times and once was for Justin to use the restroom. We tried to explain to him if he wouldn't drink 44 ounces of fluid he wouldn't have to go to the potty. We will post more laster and some pictures. 

Very Busy..

We have been very busy preparing for our trip. I did take Drew to the doctor yesterday and he did have swimmers ear. The doctor gave him some drops and said to keep him out of the water until Saturday. He is in some pain but hopefully tomorrow he will start to feel better.

Today I took Peppy to grandmother in Fairview and Justin took Murphy to Aunt Christy in Nashville. They each have great places to stay while we are gone. I have been finishing up with laundry and packing. Of course, I am still not finished and won't be until we leave tomorrow.

I am taking the computer and will hopefully update while we are there. See you from the beach...

3 days till Gulf Shores

We are only 3 short days till we leave for the beach. Drew is so excited to be able to build sand castles. Yesterday we bought several beach toys in the $1.00 bin at Target.

Today we went to Granny's pool and Drew was really swimming. He jumped seveal times in the deep end to me an than swam to the ladder. I am just amazed how he has no fear. I think I really need to put him in swim lessons this summer.

Drew went to bed saying his ear hurt, pray for us its just water stuck in it.

Happy Anniversary

Today Justin and I have been married for seven years. We decided to spend the day together as a family. It is also my first day off this summer and I will be off for the next three weeks. We went to the pool this morning, the park this afternoon and cooked ribs for supper.

We have had a great seven years and hope for many more...

On a sad note,

Our good friends JB and Laura's dog (Rosco) died today. He was a huge dog but the sweetest you would ever meet. I have also posted a pic of Drew and him together. He was always so good to him. We will miss him dearly every time we go visit them.

Family Gathering

Today we celebrated a late Father's day at Granny and Pa Pa's house. We ate hamburgers and hotdogs and swam. Emily and Drew had a good time in the water. Even Nick and Kelsey were able to join us.

As you can see the water was warm and the sun was shinning. Everyone loves going to Granny and Pa Pa's.

Welcome to the Blogging World

Hello Blogging World!!

I have decided to try this blogging thing.. Several of my friends have started a site and I thought why not.

Yesterday Drew and I went to Hayden's birthday party. Drew and Hayden had a good time riding the toy jeep. I thought to myself this might be what it will be like when they leave on their first date. We also talked about our trip to the beach and what funny things might occur this time. The last time we went with the Duff family Hayden puked all over the car. I know this trip we will try to hit all bathrooms between here and Mobile.

I will post more later after we go to Granny and Pa Pa's house to celebrate Father's Day.
