Day Trip To Jekyll Island

Gail and I loaded up Mama and Daddy's RV with all six kids and took off for a day trip to Jekyll Island. It was quite an adventure! Mama and Daddy were already there for a conference, so they drove over to the beach and had some fun in the sun with us!

My big rock climber, Matt.

Chris

Granddaddy was the Mighty Crab Catcher for the day. Gail and I chased the thing down, but couldn't get the job done...that's what Daddies are for! And it's a good thing - the crab got him on the finger with that big claw!

Aunt Gail's Swim School

I was getting very frustrated with Tyler because I couldn't get him to swim without swimmies. I had already let ALL the air out of his swimmies, and then even made him remove one of them - but he still wouldn't swim! And heaven forbid he get any water in his eyes! Aunt Gail stepped in and within 2 hrs. had him swimming AND jumping off the side!

Picnic on I-75

On the way down to south Georgia, we packed our lunch and had a picnic instead of picking up fast food. We stopped at a rest stop and let the boys eat and run around a little, and they loved it! We may have started something here...

Matt - 19 mo.

Chris - 4 1/2

Tyler - almost 6!!

My Boys

Tyler's End of the Year Luau Party!!

Today was Tyler's class party for the end of the year. It's hard to believe that he is about to be a first grader!! He has had a great year with his teachers - Mrs. Irons and Mrs. Hester, and he has made so many friends.

Little Matt

Our little man is into so many new things!

He loves to read books (especially this one!) with his Daddy.

And Barney excites us so much that we must stand on chairs to watch him sing and dance!!

Tyler's Field Day

All pepped up for field day!!

Run, Tyler, Run!

Jonathan & Mandi In London and Paris

Jonathan and I just got back from our trip to London and Paris. We were celebrating ( a few days early!! ) our 10th anniversary...and were kid free thanks to Mema. We had a blast just hanging out together, and were happy to see that we still enjoyed each other's company!!

At the gates of Buckingham Palace.

Eiffel Tower

The London Bridge - it wasn't falling down.
