My best memories of my Father while I was growing up include things like him dancing with my mother at weddings, how he made breakfast on Sunday mornings after church and the way he hugged me when he got home from work, telling me – “give me some shouggy” (sugar) – his way of asking…
So, what else did we do?
There was some fishing for the dads and oldest boys, although the waters proved to be a little too rough for everyone’s tummy, except for Tim’s. Ugh. There was some shopping for the ladies (sans kiddos). There was some sightseeing and hanging out as a fam. There were some rides on wave runners and fish…
At the water
On Sunday the water on the Emerald Coast was just as it should be, colored in the beautiful blues and greens that it is notorious for. I could have lounged in my beach chair for the entire day but some dogone kids wanted lunch and needed to rest, blah, blah, blah. It was nothing short…
I had to just close my eyes and point at some photos…
Seriously, people. I took so many photos on our beach vacation that it’s really hard to choose which ones to post. So these are just from our trip out there and our first evening. I’ll try to be more discerning in posts to come, but it’s gonna be really HARD. Just F to the Y…
The Ocean
Anticipation mounted as we drove onto the ferry and rolled down our windows. I could smell the salty, sticky ocean air and my heart swelled as we crossed the water. My mind filled with what was to come and a smile slowly spread across my face. The beach cottage we rented smelled musty and as…
Vacation, all I ever wanted… & MEM
I’m currently still recovering from my vacation hangover. DUDE. It’s like I drank the whole ocean and it was spiked. With bad rum. But it’s all good because my MOST awesome husband ever let me take a much needed nap today and I still got the laundry done and put away. I have a lot…
Four Little Men & A Little Lady
This photo makes an enourmous smile come to my face. We are having a blast on vacation. I hope you all are having a wonderful week too.
Please Remind Me
Today I have a guest post from my lovely friend, Liz, of Learning to Juggle. She also has two boys and baby girl like me and likes to run, and just finished her first half marathon!! It’s like we are the same person. 😉 Plus, I get to meet her at BlogHer in August –…
Saying Goodbye
Today my wonderful friend and roomie (we will be rooming together for the second time in a row at BlogHer in August) Jennifer, of Mom Made it Look Easy, is here with a sweet guest post for you all, while I’m hanging out at an undisclosed beach location, perhaps sipping some sort of fruity, spiked beverage. Find…
It was the best day ever/It was the worst day ever
My oldest child loves to rate the day by those two phrases above. He’s been doing this for years now. Yesterday was the worst day ever because he stubbed his toe REALLY badly (seriously, the entire base of this toenail is purple right now). Today was the best day ever because I turned on the…
