oh yes i did...

....leave my car door open while i was in target...
seriously!? I have lost my mind.
I walked out of target, looked at my car and thought, well thats not my car or is it..did someone break in, why is my door open?? Then i get closer and when i stop the cart and go to check it out an older lady gets out of her car and says, i am glad you came back, i have been sitting here making sure no one broke into your car, you left your door open sweetie! haha
How sweet was that? I had both girls in the cart and i said, well i cant imagine how i did that?! Its great to know there are wonderful people out there! Thanks whoever you are!
I guess i need to pay it forward :)

It's kind of hard to blame it on these two...

I had an art and soul paint party the other night and we had so much fun!!
I chose the sunflower and i think everyones turned out really cute.

life's a beach!

We went to Destin last week with my family and had a wonderful trip! We got there Sunday night and left Friday morning. The girls loved the water and the weather was perfect. I dont think i have ever been to destin and it not rain a drop! The drive certainly took longer than it used to! ha We got there in about 9 hours and the girls did great in the car, until we go to the florida line, then Ramsey had enough! At least we had Nana and Daddy Jack to entertain them ;) Rob and Amber met us there, they went to New orleans a few days before. I took over 400 pictures...i couldn't help myself..my subjects were too cute and my camera is awesome...have i told you how much i am obsessed with my camera?! yes i know i have ;) I have picked one ok maybe three or four...pics from each day to share with you! Enjoy

Their First day!
checking out the water
and the sand
For dinner, we picked up food from Sarah K's Gourmet. I highly recomend this if you are in Destin. She has everything made for you, you pick it up and bake it. We had crab cakes, shrimp mac and cheese, and biscuits! Yummy Yummy
Evie..my little crab cake :)
Tuesday, the girls were fearless. Evie would run towards the water, sit down and let the waves crash on her and laugh. It was so cute. Ramsey had fun playing in the sand and walking the beach with Nana.
Hi Daddy!
For dinner we went to the Red Bar, another place you have to go to.
It used to be an old general store in Grayton Beach and they have jazz music every night.
While we waited for a table we headed down to the beach.
Wednesday, another beautiful morning at the beach. We dug a hole and the girls sat in it forever.We kept filling it with water and they had a ball.
My favorite pic of the week :)
Playing with Nana
That afternoon we went to the outlets then attempted some christmas card pics...didn't turn out so well, they were having none of it! Its getting harder to get them to sit next to each other and smile! ha
They still look pretty sweet :)
Finally Nana made them laugh :)
That night we went to Baytowne Warf . We ate dinner, listened to music and rode the carousel...someone did NOT want to get off! haha
Thursday they played with their cute sand pales and kept wanting them filled with water.
I love that they play well together.
We saw this expression all week. She was definitely in her element!!
So much that she literally passed out on jonathans shoulder while they were still in the ocean, so he layed down with her and then attempted to pry his arm out from under her. She slept a good hour and then still took her usual 3 hour afternoon nap! worn out!
After nap time Daddy Jack got them wound up!
We ate our last meal on the beach at Pompano Joes while enjoying another beautiful sunset!
We headed home Friday morning, but not without a stop at the Donut Hole!
Bye Bye Beach..see ya next year!!

Memphis Madness

It's almost basketball season!
We got tickets with Chris and Claire again this year. They had Memphis Madness last weekend. Its free at the Forum, they introduce the players, had entertainment, and a slam dunk contest.




We ended the night with drinks at the Peabody!
Go Tigers!

Fall Festivities

A few wkds ago Rob and Ambers church was having a pumpkin party at Priddy Farms, so we took the girls. We need to go back for the hayride and actually buy some pumpkins..yes i know Halloween is next week and i have yet to decorate my porch...how dare me. We couldn't get there in enough time to pay and do everything so we just played on the slides and walked around.

Can i have this one?
loving aunt Amber
this girl could do this all day!
This months bunco theme...halloween of course.
This was the first time everyone in our group could come and we didn't need subs. Everyone dressed up and we had a great time as always.
Bunco!
Winners!
Please notice that i am wearing my 4th grade costume i found in my closet at my parents :)

lately..

We have been running the new greenline! They paved the old railroad that ran from downtown to shelby farms and you can run/bike or whatever the whole way. It is right behind our house and they are always so many people on it.
Check it out here :)

Evie has also been practicing her toe touches
We went from wearing this in 60 degree weather...
...to dancing in our skivvies in 90 degree weather the next day!
We went to a concert at the Levitt Shell by the zoo.
The girls loved it and danced the night away :)
We decided it was time the girls started to help around the house
Evie has been doing a great job raking the leaves..
....and putting them in the trash can!
someone got a haircut...
and someone put on about 30 lbs in his midsection...
not really, but this picture makes it look that way! haha
Evie is almost done with her summer reading...this is her last book
We are starting to look so much older...
and we are sweet happy little girls!
Thats all she wrote :)
