"A Fair to remember"

We attended the annual Jackson county fair again this year with Grannie and Pop B. Gray LOVES the fair and all things in-between. The Ferris wheel was by far his favorite, he practically drug Chris to it, stood in line patiently (which is so not Gray), handed the man the tickets and loved every second while I stood on the ground with Grannie praying the damn thing didn't break down! It didn't...thank God!

Grayson turned 3!

These are the only pictures from Grays birthday party I were able to get.. These are from the early morning out playing when the bounce house was delivered. The weather couldn't have been better and the party was a complete success. Everybody had an awesome time! Thanks Ashley again for staying with me and helping me so much! I love YOU!

Boxes are so much fun....

Playing in the rain

Gray and I could no longer stand staying in the house....he loves the rain so much and since it was not lightening or thundering...We went for it! Gumbo brought me a flower, from my own flower bed....bad dog. There are two videos at the bottom.
Look at that at manly little physique!

This one is my favorite!

Gray and Gumbo

There is this little park....

Where Gray loves to play...

And get all hot and sweaty...

And climb and slide, up or down

Feet first or head first....

Makes no difference!

First movie experience? Awesome.

An Island Day

Since that we knew our island days were limited (thanks BP)...we decided to make it a go just once more. This was Grays first trip to Horn Island (I think)...he loved it. His favorite? Jumping from the side of the boat. The water was really warm but still nice. Some friends went with us...it was an awesome day.

Swimming at the Westbrooks

Gray and I were invited to go swimming with Mimi and Lexie, Aimee and Cole joined us too! We had a wonderful time...Thanks for inviting us!

Splashing with Lexie

Kangaroo's

Tickle...Tickle....and Smiles

Happy 30th Birthday Aunt B!

And she got engaged!

Fishing with Daddy

Chris decided one night he wanted to do some pier fishing...Gray was interested for about 10 minutes..or until he figured out he couldn't touch the poles or the bait or mess with any of the other people's things. He got bored...fast. So, thankfully there is a playground lit at night by the pier. We played on that, but better to Gray's liking, there was a "tractor" on the beach.
No fish were caught but we had a good time otherwise!

Gray and Cole

Cole got to spend a week with us just after school ended and summer camp started...I only got a few pictures. Some is better than None! We were so busy!

Gray and Gumbo...playing around

I would like you to meet.....

Gumbo Carter

At it again....

Poor Birdies....They don't stand a chance at a bath with Gray and Ryker around. Notice the rocks? Grammie taught Gray how to stand outside the flower bed and toss rocks into the bird bath. Like I said...Poor Birds.

Happy 25th Birthday Uncle Biggie!

My baby brother celebrated his 25 birthday today...We celebrated at home with the traditional homemade chicken nuggets dinner, complete with mashed potatoes and peas, followed by the treasured banana pudding. Happy Birthday Michael!

I just had to put this one just cause it was silly. It would have been a super cute picture...if his eyes were open!

Matt and Gray

My cousin Matthew got to come spend the weekend with me while his mom and dad had some much needed time to themselves. Unfortunately this is the only picture I took the whole weekend...we stayed so busy! I loved having Matthew here and he is welcomed back anytime he wants to come. Thank you Matthew...I had a great weekend.

Picaso? Rembrant? Grayson?

I just want to give a quick shout out to the folks who make the magic eraser? I love you....you saved me today. Thank YOU!
