Orange Beach


Well, we just returned from a wonderful quick getaway to Orange Beach, AL. We were worried it was going to be super crowded since it was so close to the 4th of July, but it was wonderful. The beach wasn't crowded at all. The kids had a great time and Jason and I enjoyed the break from work.



We learned that:

* Graham LOVES the swimming pool, but is terrified of waves.

* Carter and Hunter play in the surf like seals, but doggie-paddle in a pool like crazed cats (at best).

* Graham can now crawl on his hands and feet because the tile floor and concrete balcony were hurting his knees.

* Jason thinks staged beach pictures are lame, but will do a lot for his picture-crazy wife.

* Three nights of co-sleeping can ruin 6 months of sleeping in a crib.

* Hunter has to pee every thirty miles.

* Condos don't always have a hair dryer.

* It is a WONDERFUL thing to vacation at the same time as friends. The kids had a blast playing with Peyton and Collin...and Doug is great with a charcoal grill!



Here are some pictures of our adventures:

Hunter is Five!!!!!

Hunter turned the big 05 on Saturday, September 26th. He had a Mario Bros themed party. It turned out pretty well. He had a good turn-out at his party, even though it came a flood about the time everyone had to get in their cars. Thanks to all who braved the weather! The kids had a great time and no one got konked in the head while they were trying to break the pinata! :-) Hunter's Cake - I didn't even cry while decorating it! Daddy and Graham watching the Pinata action! Temporary Tattoos Isaac hitting the Chomp Chomp Pinata Hunters BIG present - A playground that is still sitting in boxes!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
