PCB 2012 (Part 3)

So Tuesday, we did lots more swimming, while some went to the beach.  That afternoon, we got ready and went to Pier Park to have some fun.  Eron and Marley came with us.  After the park, we went to Pineapple Willy's for some dinner, then to the beach to take pictures.  Once we got back home, Eron and I went out for some yogurt by ourselves.  On Wednesday, my family, my brother's family, Eron and Marley, and my grandparents all headed back home.  I'm sure it was real quiet around there once we all left.  We had a really great trip, making lots of wonderful memories with our wonderful family! 

That's Craig and Abby up at the top!

This ride slung her all over that seat.  To say I was a nervous wreck is an understatement!

This was everyone minus GiGi who was taking the picture!

Great memories!!!

PCB 2012 (Part 2)

On Monday, we hung out at the pool all day long.  I got burned, what else is new.  Yes I wore sunscreen and coated the girls 2 or 3 times, and they got burned too.  Late that afternoon, we all got ready and went to dinner together at Mike's Oyster House.  It was good eating.  Jason (my brother) tried eating an oyster for the first time, and it was Hilarious.  Eron got it on her phone, but she doesn't know how to send it to me!  After dinner, me, Abby, Kyndal, Mom, Eron, Marley, and Jason's crew all went out to ride go-carts and get ice cream.  Craig stayed back at the house with AC and some others.  It was nice just taking the big girls out for a bit. 

This was her favorite spot.  She Hated the pool water too and would scream if you acted like you were going to put her in!

Pappy is ready...for what...I don't know!!!

GiGi getting her tan on!

Eron had already dilated a couple centimeters so she didn't get in the pool, in case her water broke and then she wouldn't know it!  Kinda funny, 2 years ago on this family trip, Craig and I were in the hospital (pre-eclampsia) getting ready to have AC, and 2 years later on the family trip, we thought Eron may not get to make it b/c Maddox might decide to make his appearance.  He's still cooking though!  Next family trip is in 2 years and little Maddox will be with us.  Wonder who will be expecting??????????????

Never boring when he is around!!

All the kiddo's (minus Jules and Maddox)

Love this precious lady (grandmother or greatgran)

She was excited to eat!!

Father's

My girls truly have a wonderful earthly father.  One who shows them so much love, kindness, patience, and a Godly example.  How can a child understand the Great love our Heavenly Father has for us if they don't have a good example of one on earth?  God is good, and He can allow those to see His great love regardless, but I am ever SOOOO thankful that He blessed me with a wonderful husband, who is just an Awesome daddy!

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful hubby and my dad too!

PCB 2012 (Part 1)

We went to Panama City Beach Sunday was a week ago with my family and we had a blast.  We left after our Sunday morning service and arrived at the beach around 5 pm.  The girls immediately got into the pool with their cousins.  We also celebrated Anna Claire's birthday that day while all the family was together.  Pappy grilled out while the kids swam and then we ate and had cupcakes, and opened some presents, and went back to swimming.

The child Hated the sand and the ocean!!!

My brother acting like he was in the movie Rocky!!! hehe

The sun was going down on one side...

The moon coming up on the other side!  Very cool to see!!!

2 years old

So today our sweet princess Anna Claire is 2 years old.  She is a precious child.  She loves to mess with things and make a mess.  She is not a big fan of minding right now, but hopefully that will change with time.  She is however a really great sleeper, napper, and eater, so that's very nice.  Life has been lots of fun with her, she is a true blessing to our family.

Happy Birthday Princess Anna Claire!!!
