Florida 2019

We had a wonderful week on 30A!

Of course we had to check out the beach when we got there on Saturday evening!

Our first full day was Father's Day!  We had a fun beach day and then went out for a yummy seafood dinner and ice cream to celebrate the amazing dads in our family!

So thankful for these two guys!

The rest of the week was full of beach time, pool time, games, crafts, and a water balloon fight. :)

These two pictures are titled "That time Rhett lost his mind over having to wear a swimsuit at the beach and finally settled for a pajama day since going naked wasn't an option". Three year olds are fun. ;)

Mumsie and Popsie watched all 5 kids one evening so we could go out for a fun "sibling" dinner!  We went to our favorite place in Seaside, The Great Southern Cafe!

The Loddes, Thomas, and Rebecca had to leave on Thursday, so we went to dinner at Lulu's and then to The Track with Mumsie and Popsie.  The kids had a blast!  It was a great way to end a great week!

We also went down to the beach mid-week for some evening beach pictures!  Here are some faves...

Recital 2019

Saturday was our little Peachy's day to shine!  She performed in two dances at the recital this year!  The recital theme was Red, White, and Boogie and I LOVED all of the patriotic songs and costumes.  

I was "room mom" for her class, so I spent the show backstage with the girls. 

Penny and GK

2nd generation of friends in dance costumes :)

Miss Barbara was her ballet teacher this year and Georgia Kate adored her!  We got to have the wonderful Mrs. Juleigh for tap again.  This group of girls is so sweet!  Most of them were together last year too.  

Kindergarten friends!

Sweet Faith is a preschool turned dance friend!

We were so proud of our girl!  She really grew in her dancing this year!  

I love this picture of Daddy and his mini.

It was a great year at Juleigh Holley School of Dance!

Celebrating Reid's 8th Birthday!

Reid came home from school on Wednesday (the day before his birthday) not feeling well.  He and Chris had plans to go to an Astros game with Grandma and Grandpa that evening as his birthday gift from them.  He really wanted to go, so I gave him some Motrin and sent them on their way.  Probably not my smartest parenting move, but at least he was able to enjoy the game. 

He has been excited all year that his birthday was going to fall on the last day of school this year.  When you're 8, that's a big deal!  So when he woke up on his birthday with a 103 fever, he was devastated.  We tried to make the morning special with balloons and donuts (which he didn't feel well enough to eat).  

His gift from us was a new bike.  He was excited about the bike, but just felt terrible.  

I needed to take Georgia Kate to her school's end of year party at Glow Zone that morning, so Reid and Rhett stayed with Grandma for a couple of hours.  This is how the birthday boy spent his morning.

An afternoon trip to the pediatrician was next on the agenda.  Poor guy. :( 

We cancelled his family birthday dinner that night and Chris brought him home some frozen yogurt for dinner instead.  Mumsie and Popsie also stopped by to give him his gifts.  

After lots of rest and a dose of steriods, Reid woke up fever free and feeling SO much better the next day, which also happened to be party day!  He was excited to test out his new ride.

Unfortunately, Georgia Kate woke up with a fever, so she had to skip the festivities and stay in bed.  She ended up having Strep. 

Mumsie and Popsie got Reid this shirt full of numbers for his birthday and it's right up his alley! :)

We haven't really ventured into the world of video games yet, but Reid experienced a video game truck at Graeme's Run in February and it's all he wanted to do for his birthday party.  The truck parked in front of the house and the boys played for two hours.  After that, we came into the garage for pizza and cake.  It was easy, fun, and most importantly, exactly what the birthday boy wanted!

Happy 8th birthday, Reid!!!
