Weekend in Athens

It was another fun summer weekend in Athens. Robert was working in Georgia this week so I made the daring attempt to hustle my 2 ticking time bombs up to Athens...on my own! And guess what? We made it there in record time and without any "incidents". I know this may never happen again so I figured I might as well document it to remind myself of this rare event next time I am having a nervous breakdown while driving.

On Saturday, Robert and I were able to take a quick get away to go to our friend's wedding in Atlanta. We had a great time and had an especially good time feeling like Atlanta's elite as we spent Saturday evening at the Saint Regis Hotel in Buckhead. Thanks Natalie! On Sunday we returned to Athens to spend a delightful afternoon hanging out by the pool with Lee Lee, Bill, Mama and Da.

Harrison and Brooks had a great time and also enjoyed a fun visit to Snake Day at Sandy Creek while we were gone. Harrison has become very fond of snakes and reptiles in the last few months so I know he had a blast. He also got to fit in a few holes of golf with Grand Dad Bill. And no trip would have been complete without my little pee wees getting sick. That's right, we wrapped up the weekend just in time to tote home 2 less than pleased kiddos. Oh well, as far as car trips go, one out of 2 isn't bad.

Leigh's Afternoon Visit

Aunt Leigh came to visit us on Memorial Day and we all spent the afternoon in the pool. Fun!!!

Memorial Day Weekend - Flagler Beach

It was another fun day at the beach today! We should be pretty good to go on our vitamin D.

Daytona Lagoon & Jungle Hut Beach

In the past few days we have gone to 2 of our favorite summertime destinations, Daytona Lagoon and Jungle Hut Beach. My little water bugs can't get enough of it. If I wasn't caking these guys with sunscreen I would have to imagine that they would look like they were from the islands by now.

Movin' at the Speed of Light

To say my children are active would be a little bit of an understatement. I compare them to something more like spider monkeys amped up on a sugar high but what do I really know about spider monkeys anyway. They very well could be less active than my kids. The point is, Harrison and Brooks are on the go and there's nothing I can do to stop it. My only option is to try and wear them down by keeping them busy with endless activities but by the end of the day, I seem to be the one who is ready for a timeout.

Little Miss Brooksie is exactly 7 months and she has learned a few new tricks. She is crawling, can bring herself to sitting, and oh yeah, she can pull herself up to stand. I'm considering putting weights on her ankles so that she doesn't start walking tomorrow which I'm afraid will probably happen anyway. She is also babbling up a storm and I'm pretty sure she will be a talker, just like her mama.

And Mr. Harrison is taking on the swimming pool like a fish. He was a little hesitant of the pool at the beginning of spring but after spending a lot of time in the water, he has gotten his stamina back and is ready for some serious swimming. His buddies, Noah & Ethan, came over the other day and all 3 boys decided to tackle the pool. Ethan learned how to swim, Noah worked on his jumps, and Harrison took off kicking on his boggie board. As soon as he can lift that head up while swimming, I'll be looking into some lifeguard positions for him so that he can get a summer job. For practice of course.

Mother's Day

Two weeks ago we spent a very nice evening at Carter & Leigh's house to celebrate Mother's Day. Here are some of the pictures:
