Summer Vacation '14 (Part 4)

The Friday we arrived back from the beach, the girls went and spent the weekend with their MeMe. I had to get this one from facebook and can't get it to center.  The girls had lots of fun!

 On Saturday, me and my sissy had Momma's Day Out and it was great:) That night Craig and I had date night and it too, was great:)

 Sunday night, the 4 girls spent the night with Grandmother.  They kept Maddox while we had a double date!

It's been a loooooong time since we've had a double date!  It was lots of fun.  Cheesecake Factory

Good times!

Monday, we all went swimming at Eron's friends house.  Lots of fun!

By the end of the vacation, she was splashing around by herself.  She should be good to go next year!

 That night, we had dinner with my Dad and Lisa at Habanero's

We got to sneak in some time of play with Cheryl Kaye before we left too:)

Tuesday night, the big girls spent the night with Ella.  Eron and her fam had dinner with Craig, AC, and I at Full Moon.  It's SO yummy.  Again, all good times!

Summer Vacation '14 (Part 3)

More beach fun...

 

One of our trips to Sweet Frog

Miracle Strip fun!  We got there when it opened at 4.  We stayed till about 5:30.  We were ready to eat dinner, well some of us were anyways.  Eron and Kyndal got sick and wanted to be done.  Anna Claire and Maddox were just tired and hot.  So Eron and those 3 kids went back to the house for the night.  Craig, myself, Abby, and Marley went to Sharky's for dinner, then back to Miracle Strip till about 9:30.  We had lots of fun:)

Someone snagged my camera and took a selfie:)

A day at the beach!  It was really more like an hour at the beach.  I really do not like sand or the ocean.  I don't like having sand stuck to me at all and in the South, you don't even have to get in the water to be wet and have sand all over you.  I was sweating and covered in sand.  Not my idea of fun.  So after an hour, we headed back to the house for some more pool time.  That's more my speed!

Marley and Kyndal waiting on the waves!

Abby caught her a wave!

Kyndal caught her one too:)

She could sit and play in the sand for hours!  She is her Daddy's child:)

Love this man!

Love my sissy boo too!

Once we got back to my Sister's house and unloaded, we went to dinner at Craig's sister's house.  PaPaw with all his grand babies, except for the one growing in Aunt Rikki's belly:)

Ricky, Evie, Abby, Ella, Reese, Kyndal, Anna Claire, and Wyatt

Again, only one boy, for now:)

Summer Vacation '14 (Part 2)

Then we headed to Panama City Beach with my family for 4 full days!!  It was lots of fun.  The girls swam like crazy.  I mean, like all hours they were awake.  Craig and I ran each morning, which was so nice!  However, one morning we got caught in a monsoon.  We were completely soaked, which made it hard to run, but we kept going.  The whole family (29 of us) went to dinner one night and took pictures on the beach.  All the kids had air brushed shirts made.  A couple of trips to get Froyo. A fun day at Miracle Strip. Over all tons of sweet and fun memories were made.

Cute little Maddox for the one moment when he wasn't whining!!! HA!  He was quiet the whiner on this trip, thank goodness, he is so cute:)

Our girls wore their swim suits to drive to the beach so they could jump right in:)

Mommy, I want in!  Mommy, I want out!  Mommy, I want in!  Mommy, I want out X 1,000:)

The girls were squirting Craig, so he snuck in and changed and then came out to surprise them.  To say it was loud out there, would be a HUGE understatement!

Cuteness overload:)

This just makes me LOL big time!  Gotta love my crazy brother:)

All the kiddo's.  13 kids, 2 boys, 11 girls.  The 2 boys are the oldest and the youngest.  Only 12 of the kiddo's are my mom and Steve's grandchildren!  What a crew:)

This was the night we walked to the beach to take pictures and walk to dinner! Jessi, Abby, Justin, Anna Claire, Marley, Caitlin, Eden, Jules, Maddox, Kyndal, Madison, and Zyla

Mom and Steve with all their grand kids +1!

Our sweet girls!

My brother's family!  Justin, Misty, Jason, Caitlin, Madison, and Jessi

My sister's family (minus Jason who had to work)!  Marley, Eron, and Maddox

Craig napped through the pictures and met us for dinner.  We actually didn't get one family pic on the beach.  O well:)

Summer Vacation '14 (Part 1)

On 7/13, after service we set out on our long adventure to AL for 3 weeks.  That's 12 states, 18 hours, 1200 miles of adventure:)  It's really a fun time in my opinion.  We tried to drive through the night, but ran into some really bad weather and lost some time.  We just got too tired, so we stopped and slept.  We arrived in B'ham Monday about 4:30 and jumped right into family time!  We absolutely enjoyed every single minute of our time there!

I didn't get a picture while at the church, but lots of people from church were holding all of these sweet poster's as we left Sunday.  So sweet and encouraging:)

HA!!!  We did eat some Krispy Kreme, but we didn't do Krystal's

My brother and sister:):):)  Love them!

Lots of splash pad fun with sweet cousins:)

Grocery shopping with 5 kiddo's=Insanity!!  HA, it was fun:)

Swimming at MeMe's with cousin Deric

She wasn't so sure about the pool yet!!

Ah, she made it in with big sister's help!!

MeMe with our girls

And Aunt Laurie!  Deric wasn't having any pictures with a bunch of girls!

Great Gran teaching Anna Claire all about washing and drying clothes:)

Some Chuck E Cheese fun with Aunt Eron, Marley, and Maddox

Sweet girls:)

It was a great first week of visiting with lots of family.  Before we headed to the beach, we made a stop in Eufaula to visit with some sweet friends.  I didn't get any pictures:(  It was great getting to visit with several of our friends down there.
