April's 30th Birthday Girls' Weekend

Mom says it wouldn't be a girls' weekend with Aunt Kristi if we didn't have a schedule.

Girl time on the beach!


Mom said they couldn't resist The Donut Hole...it was delicious!

Nothing better than just laying around watching T.V.

This is everyone right after massages...Mom said her massage was so good that she hurt for days afterwards.

They met up with Nana on the way back from the girls' weekend.

Look what Mommy found!

Mom and Elijah got out of the shower.  Mom went in her room to get dressed and when she came to dress Elijah this is what she found!  Elijah sure loves books!

Strawberry Pickin' with Nee Nee and Nana

We went to the Rutland Farm and picked strawberries. 

I am so glad Special Agent OSO taught me how to pick strawberries...twist then pull!


Elijah didn't want to pick strawberries so he spent his time playing on the cool playground they have there.


Elijah was obsessed with tractor when he realized he could get on it. 

Luckily, he shared with me ...at least for a minute before he tried to kick me off.

Nothing better than homemade ice cream...maybe fresh strawberries.  Elijah couldn't decide which basket he liked more.  He just kept grabbing strawberries and eating!

Build-A-Bear with Nana

This was Elijah's first time getting a bear and my second time.  Thank you, Nana!  We love our bears.  We go to Build-A-Bear at least once a week and pretend to get a bear.

Nana helped us name our bears.  My bear's name is Pop-tart and Elijah's is Cheerios.  Can you tell that we name them the next morning over breakfast? 

We are so lucky to have Nana in our lives!  Thanks for all you do to make us feel special!

Aunt April turns the BIG 3-0!

We had a surprise party for April!

Nana helped us get everything set up for the party.  Chocolate chip pecan pie for the cake is the best!!


Everyone went in and we did 30 gifts for 30 days....at least that was what was supposed to happen.

What really happened...the rest of us were so excited that we talked her into opening about 10 of them that night.  It was tons of fun!

Trip to Nana's house

We can't go to Nana's house without eating donuts!  Donuts, donuts, donuts!


We love going to Nana's house.  She spoils us!

Beach time with Pops

I got to spend quality time on the beach with Pops!  I am so lucky!

Baby played in the sand  for a short while then moved his way up to the chairs.  He isn't that big on sand...he takes after Mommy!


Look at the castle Pops helped me build.

Elijah....taking a break from all the hard work of the beach!

Pops' Jazz Band Tour

We had lots of fun at Pops' Jazz Band concert.  There was only one problem...Mom forgot that my ears were sensitive still because of the tubes in my ears.  I spent the majority of the time like this!  Elijah, when he wasn't playing, spent his time in Mommy's shirt...as usual!

Thanks, Dad!

Elijah was being a silly boy...he kept pushing off backwards from Mommy's lap.

Mommy thinks I am so cute!

A little meltdown when we had to have a timeout.  Elijah wasn't happy about being in timeout so he started throwing dirt in the air.

We love Pops so much!  We are glad that we got to come on tour this year!


While the concert was going on there was a play area for kids...they had all kinds of toys for us to play with.  Elijah loved the shopping cart the best and went everywhere with it.


Lunch time...the corn dogs were so big that we had to share!



Uncle Joe striking a pose!


Nana enjoyed the ice cream after lunch...good stuff!

Canoeing the Wakulla River

We went for a day trip to the Wakulla River!

Elijah was really excited about the boat.



There were huge manatee swimming by us while we were canoeing.


I don't know who had more fun....us or Dad?

We pulled over and had a picnic.   Jumping in the water...REQUIRED!




Testing the waters...it is a little cold!

Daddy and I jumped in....I came up breathing quickly...it was REAL cold!





Elijah wanted to jump in so this would have to work.  He wanted to be a fish so badly.

Enjoying some R&R!  Look at that view!
