Day at the beach!!

Today my cousin got married!!  It was a beautiful wedding and a gorgeous reception... but it was hot, hot, hot!!!

I enjoyed meeting this sweet family of 6!!  Four precious little kids with lots of energy!

We spent the day with Grammy!  Time at the river feeding the ducks and a little cooling off in the pool!  The day started off a little rough, but ended on a good note :)

Fun day at the pool with friends and the dock after nap!

Today is the day... Blake is going to sleep in a big boy bed!  He is so excited about it... wish us luck!

Well, Charlie did not like his first night in his new bed.  He said it was too small and he was never sleeping in it again. :(  I hate that we have to change everything for him, but we have to make room for baby #3 in January.  Hopefully he will get used to it.  I think Blake will test out his new big boy bed tomorrow.

We had some fun today!  Grammy and Poppy came over for dinner on the dock... they bought Chinese!!

The boys have new beds!  Our Pottery Barn beds came in and today is setup day.  I am not ready for Blake to be out of his crib, but it looks like that is just around the corner.  I had to take a few pictures of Charlie in his first big boy room/bed.  He is not too excited about sleeping on a twin... he had a queen!

Today we spent the morning bowling with our MOPS playgroup!  The kids had a blast... and so did the mommas :)  It was so cute to see them cheer each other on after every ball.

Love this face!

Today I have been thinking a lot about someone that was killed last weekend who I did not even know, but she is connected to me through many that I do know.  Life is just so precious and sweet and we need to love everyone we care about like it is the last time we will see them.  I can't even imagine what her family is going through right now, and I hope that I never have to.  I know how blessed I am to have so many wonderful people in my life, and a new life growing in my tummy :)   Give everyone you love a hug and a kiss or a call to tell them how much you love them!!

Here is just one of my many sweet blessings!!

I love sweet little feet!!

I am getting ready to take the boys room apart to get them ready for a room to share.  I thought I should get some pictures of Blake's nursery before he moves to his big boy room!  I can't believe it is almost time for him to be in a bed... he still loves his crib though :)

Today we celebrated my sister in-laws 30th birthday!!  It was a nice day out on the lake and lunch lakeside.  We went to my favorite restaurant, Fish Tales.  I am also loving this fall like weather!!  Blake let me take a couple pictures of him today... only 2 he said!

197/365

We made a trip to "just look" at Pottery Barn Kids for beds for the boys... we bought them!!  I am getting excited about getting the boys room ready for them to share.  I hope it all goes well!  When we got home, Chad had to work on the dock, so we went down to play while he worked.  Blake had fun throwing rocks while Charlie "helped Chad."  We ended the night at Dockside for dinner!

What a sweet little baby girl and her beautiful big sisters!!  So much fun to work with this family!!

Today one of my amazing friends took me "out on the town."  We had coffee, got pedicures, and had lunch on the square in Gainesville!  It was even nice enough to eat outside.  I am thankful for the First Baptist Church kids camp and for my dear sweet friend for making me feel so loved!!  What a great morning!
Then we went to another friends house for some pool time.  We have been trying to get together all summer and something always seems to get in our way, but it worked today.  My boys did not even get a nap in today... early bed time... woohoo!  Great day!!

I posted it on facebook last week, so now I can let my blog friends know too... I am pregnant!  That is right, number 3 is on the way.  I had a 12 week ultrasound today and everything looks great!  It is so nice to see a healthy baby!  The tech said it is too early to guess the gender, but the doctor told me the guess was 80% accurate... so I had him guess.  He wrote it in a notebook so I could look at it with Chad.  It said... BOY!  I have to admit I was a little disappointed... I really want a little girl.  But the most important thing is that the baby is healthy.  We will have to confirm the gender at my 20 week ultrasound which is 96% accurate according to my doctor.  Here is a picture of my sweet little baby...

Sometimes my boys act like they love each other! :)  But, about five minutes later they were screaming!

Day one of camp!!  Both of my boys are going to a camp at a church for 3 hours a day for the whole week!   I might have time to get something done this week :)

We decided to head out on the boat tonight for dinner at Pelican Pete's.  It is so crowded on the weekend that we can never wait long enough to get seated, so we went tonight.  It was so nice because it was empty and the boys got to play in the fountain for a while.  Charlie really enjoys driving the boat when the lake is so calm too!

Breakfast on the dock is always one of our favorite things to do on the weekend.  I like it more in the fall and spring, but it was nice out there this morning.  It was a little too hot, but we have lots of shade on our bottom deck now!

In the evening, I went with some friends to a Tipsy Canvas party!  It is a lot of fun painting a picture that actually looks good in the end.  It is a great party idea for a group of 10 or more!

My parents had the boys last night, so we got to sleep in a little today!  However, it was a rough morning after I picked them up, but our evening turned out great with some friends over for a cookout on the dock!

This is as good as it gets again today.  I have not touched my camera in a couple days, so an iphone picture just before shower time is all I have.

We love Cow Appreciation Day!!  Every year in July, Chick-fil-a offers free food to anyone that comes dressed as a cow.  You can choose anything off the menu... it is a great deal.  My mom loves this day because it is an excuse to dress up and act silly.  We actually hit up two Chick-fil-a restaurants today and my dad went out by himself for dinner.  We are die hard fans of some yummy chicken :)

Today we had a fun day at the pool with friends and then we headed to Grammy and Poppy's house for the night.  My boys love spending time there and so do I!  I love my sweet little guys so much!
