Ty's family Birthday Party

On Sunday we had my nephew Ty's birthday party at Brandon and Katie's house. Ty was so excited about his birthday and his presents! Travis and Brandon made homemade ice cream, Rocky Road and Cheerwine! They were both so yummy. The children did not get naps today, so they were in rare form!!! WE lasted until about 6:30 and then we had to go! I took a picture of the kids on the way home , this was only 2 miles from Brandon's.

Fountains at Birkdale

Last Friday we went to Birkdale to play in the fountains.I was worried it was going to rain, because it was overcast, but it never did. The children had a good time. Ellie liked it the best, she ran back and forth! Perry wasnt feeling so great that day ,but he even would crawl over and play with the water.

Lazy Day at Home

We are back from vacation and I think the kids were glad to be home. It has been awhile since I have updated, but I got home and our computer crashed big time! Today I finally got a new one, and it is a laptop.

Day 5

We only have one more day! I am not ready to leave. We spent the entire day on the beach I think we all got a little too much sun. The Frey family arrived today around 2 with 9 more people. So total we have 30 people in the house. We had cake tonight for Kole's birthday. We are going to build a fire on the beach tonight, now that Uncle Mark is here.

Day 4

Today we took the boys to The Track, the ride go carts and bumper boats. We took a different camera with us so i dont have any pictures, but the kids LOVED IT!! Jag was the only one who rode the boats alone and he had a blast getting Pops and Travis wet. Camden rode with Travis on the go carts, he was in shock about how fast daddy was driving. Pops bought $50 worth of tickets so it took us a while to use them all. After that we had lunch at a local place called Lambert's known for throwing rolls. It was really cool, they really threw rolls at you ( if you wanted one). Camden ate 5 huge rolls with butter and the other boys ate rolls with honey on it.

This place was featured on the Food Network! After naps we spent the rest of the day on the beach and had Italian food for supper! Great day!!!!

Day 3

Today was the most beautiful day so far. We spent the entire day on the beach. The kids loved the water, especially Perry. Diane brought a blow up kayak, and it was a hit. Here are some pictures of the day.

Day 2

Day 2 at Fort Morgan started with Dance Dance Revolution on the Wii. Gangie, Aunt Bea and Mom really got into the dancing this morning. They were so funny, we got a few videos of them! Travis and I got to do a little shopping today , without kids! All the kids stayed home with the grandparents and had a fun day at the beach.

Fort Morgan, AL

Well we made it here after a 11 HOURS of fun times in the van. The kids did really well given the lenght of time we were in the car. Perry was perfect, Camden was good ( but asked me several times "are we there yet") and Ellie was mad at us for making her sit still for that long. We are celebrating Mom's 50th birthday this week!! The Grays made her a shirt for everyday with a picture of her when she was little. We also decorated the beach house with funny posters about being old. You know she loved that! When she came down the stairs this morning the first thing she saw was "Old as Mold". The kids have a had a great time so far. Ellie and Perry have been catching up on sleep all day today. Camden has been bonding with his third cousins Bryer and Jag. They are playing so well together and I am so happy they came with us. Here are a few pictures of the first day!

4th of July

Well, I have decided to start blogging as they call it. This is a new thing for me, we will see how long it lasts. I thought it may be a good way to keep my out of town family in the loop. I am starting with 4th of July. We went to the fireworks show at the YMCA on Thursday night. The kids loved it! They made friends with a family sitting next to us. They have two young boys and Ellie fell in love! She wouldnt leave their blanket, it was so cute. I thought Ellie and Perry would be scared of the fireworks, but they werent at all! Ellie kept calling them pretty! On Friday we spent most of the day with Travis's Family swimming. Ellie and Perry slept most of the time . That night we had a cookout with the neighbors on our street, well until it started storming. We are headed to Gulfshores Alabama early Saturday morning for vacation! I hope the kids are good...
