Fun hiking

We took a day this past holiday weekend and went to a local hiking spot by a river. The temperature was perfect and the scenery was fantastic!! We all had a wonderful time!

Dad didn't want Alexa's feet to get wet. She thought that was hilarious!

The girls always on the lookout for bugs.

Cody's big day

I can't believe my baby is old enough to go to preschool!!! How did that happen?! Here he is on his first day. He had a blast and is loving school. I must say it tugged at my heart a little to let my last one go, but then again the nine hours a week to myself will heal that fast. :)

Girls make the paper

So this summer the girls got involved in a short art camp and had a really great time. While they were busy making their art masterpieces a journalist showed up wanting to write about their teacher and put them in the paper. The girls were ecstatic to see themselves. Very fun!

Coca-Cola

Last weekend our wonderful Grandpa Winter came for a quick visit and we took him up to Atlanta to the Coca-Cola factory. It was a very cool place and we came out well hydrated with all their coca-cola products. Thanks for the visit Grandpa! We love you!!

Cody in down-town Atlanta. He has been very into his batman cape again and refusing to take it off EVER! It kind of bugs me, but he is cute.

The girls first day of school (ok second, but don't tell. The first day was a little too hectic and I forgot the camera. ) I can't believe I have a 5TH grader and a 1ST grader. How did I get so OLD?!

Puppy Love

Aviation Museum

A few weeks back we FINALLY visited the aviation museum here at the air force base where Justin works. The kids enjoyed looking at all the planes and things, however I must admit I was a little hot and bored. If you visit us and want to see the museum, I think you will be going with Justin and the kids- I'll stay home in the A.C. I do, however, need to post these adorable shots of my kids in the cockpits!

Jekyll Island

This year for the 4th of July we were able to go to Jekyll Island, a little island off the Georgia coastline, and enjoy fireworks on the beach. What a way to enjoy the holiday!! We had such a fantastic weekend!

This little boy had the time of his life!!

Cody's version of surfing the waves..

Hard to see, but this is Alexa and Paige boogie boarding....

First vacation including Rocco the dog. It was a lot of fun, but a little more work. Obviously the kids loved it!

Fourth of July outfits.....

When not swimming in the pool or playing at the beach, there were several beautiful bike trails. Cody and Rocco of course get royal treatment..
