Beach playground

Our condo we are staying at has a playground on site which is perfect for Carter and Layla! A great way to wear them out after supper and a day at the beach!

Hungry Turltes

The condo we are staying at has several ponds full of all kinds of critters. Don't worry, no alligators in these ponds or so we are told. However, there are a slew of hungry turtles! 

One of the ponds in our complex.

On the balcony after supper. Ready to go and catch some turtles.

In Georgia the ducks love a good piece of bread, here in FL, it's the turtles.

Uncle Chase caught the kiddos a big one.

Beachin' It!

Loaded up the kiddos and went to Amelia Island for the week! Beautiful weather for a much needed vacay! 

The gorgeous view this morning on the beach!

My crew getting all set up for a day at the beach.

Building a tide pool. This is probably their favorite part about the beach.

Looking for seashells with Mimi.

Lewis's birthday splash!

Carter's best bud Lewis also joined the 5 club this past Saturday at the local aquatic center. Carter and Layla had so much fun sliding on the water slides and relaxing down the lazy stream! Of course, pizza, cake, and ice cream followed.

The original crew!! These kiddos have been lifelong buddies! Missing Will, Micah, and Amelia.

The Aquatic Center!

Carter's favorite part was the water gun.

Laura (Addi's mom) and I! Carter and Addi have been good friends since they were two.

Al with two exhausted babies.

Pizza, Chick-Fil-A nuggets, cake, what more could Al want? I mean, the kids.

Happy Birthday Lewis!! Lewis is also going to be a big brother in November! His mama is expecting twins! Can't wait to welcome them to the crew.

59 and 60!!

Happy Birthday Mimi and Paw-paw! We love you very much and hope y'all have a wonderful birthday!

Will's Birthday Party

Carter's best bud Will joined the 5 year old club as well and celebrated turning half a decade at Monkey Joes! 

Will's mama made his cake and cupcakes and did such a wonderful job! My secret is the Publix bakery..haha.

Little miss thing getting her face painted.

She went with the most girly design on display..the pink heart.

Everyone getting ready for pizza and homemade cake.

Will had to have to have his best bud Carter with him to blow out his candles and make his 5 year old wish!

Memorial Day Weekend!

I sure have been a slacking mama on my blogging lately, but come August, I will have a lot more time to blog and update everyone on the kiddos latest adventures. I will officially be staying at home with them! I am super excited to get to have this time with my children while they are still little! Getting back to Memorial Day, we took the kiddos to Stone Mountain with some friends we met through baseball and their kids!

Carter and Nicholas enjoying some cookies on the laser show lawn!

The crew all riding the train. This was the first time we rode the train (we rode it two more times per the kids request).

Nicholas and Carter waiting patiently on their picnic lunch.

Fun at the water park!

Passed out on the last train ride!
