Beach Trip

We had tons of fun on our trip to the beach! Maury loved everything about the trip: the sand, the ocean, the pool and the splash pad. Carter on the other hand preferred hanging out in the condo. He was not a fan of the ocean or the pool and did not care at all for the sun in his eyes. He was a trooper and did take some good naps in the stroller by the pool and on the beach. We all had so much fun spending time with The Wise's, The Jackson's,and of course Mimi and Gandy. Thanks so much Mimi and Gandy for a wonderful time at Splash!

Off To The Beach!


I made a quick trip to Wal-Mart last night to get a couple of last minute things we needed for our beach trip and found these sunglasses on clearance. I didn't realize till Maury tried them on this morning that they aren't actually sunglasses, the lenses are clear, not shaded. I don't really understand the point. Oh well, Maury doesn't know the difference.

Sunday Best



A picture before church Sunday.....couldn't get them both to look at the camera, much less smile! Thanks Pierce for a few hand-me-downs to get us through the season (Carter has out grown all of cousin JD's last summer's clothes)!

Choo-Choo!




We made a trip to the Zoo today with Lily and Olivia. Carter got to take his first train ride. I think he really enjoyed the first few minutes but was ready to get off by the time we got back to the station. Maury and Lily really loved the tiger. They ran back and fourth by the glass with him (made me a little nervous). Poor Olivia wasn't feeling to well and had to cut her trip short. Glad you are better now Olivia!

Tub for Two


Last night was actually my second attempt at bathing them together. The first time was a few weeks back but Maury bit Carter and bath time was cut short. It went much better this time around. Getting them out and dressed when Owen isn't home is still a little tricky.

Another Photo Session Failure





It's been 5 1/2 months and still no picture of them together both smiling. Just thought I'd share my latest attempt.

We Are Still Alive!





I realize it's been a week and I usually post a few times a week but this weekend has just about done me in! This was my first weekend to work from home. I thought it would be totally fine for Owen to go on to the Auburn game and leave the kids here, it proved to be a little more than I could handle on my first work from home day. Today went much better for me (can't say the same for Owen, he was ready to leave and never return by the time my shift ended). Maury still had her pj's on at 6:00 tonight (I did bathe her and put fresh ones on) and Carter is a little off schedule but we all survived. I'm posting pics of Owen's man room turned playroom/ Mommy's cubicle (Sorry Owen)! Also a pic of Maury eating her favorite Spaghetti-O's (made her happy and gave me time to bathe Carter last night), and a pic of them before bed and after Carter's 2nd bath and pj change (b/c of vomit and poo-poo). Thanks to the Patterson's for letting Maury come play for a little while yesterday, sorry about the bite Henry!

First (And Maybe Last) Game





Our family of four went to Starkville to see the Bulldogs in their first home game of the season. I'm not sure that we really watched any of the game. I had 21 pounds of Carter strapped to me for 3 plus hours while Owen wrestled Maury throughout the game. It was hard work but still kind of fun. Not enough fun to get me to another game with both kids next weekend. All in all, I do think Carter enjoyed his first game. Oh, and Maury was not a fan of Bully.

5 Months, Really


It's hard to believe Carter is 5 months old today! Time has flown by and it has been a bit of a blur to me. In celebration of the day Carter tried out his new car seat. It arrived at our door right before bed time and not a moment too soon! I had to take Carter back to the doc today b/c I thought his ears were infected again and he weighed 20 lbs and 14 oz!!!!!!! Thanks goodness we had a weight check or he'd have been way over the limit on his infant seat by next week! Needless to say, we'll be getting the new seat installed ASAP. Happy 5 Months Sweet Boy!

First Day!


Today is Maury and Carter's first day of Mother's Day Out!!! The drop off went well and my time is now ticking away. I've only got 2 more hours to get the entire house cleaned and all of the laundry done!!! Not exactly a day out for me!

Family Fun




We went to Decatur for a few days to celebrate Mimi and Leigh Ann's b-days and to visit. We got to spend time with Mimi and Gandy, the Wise's, the Jackson's, Nana, and Gene Gene. We packed a lot of visiting into two days!

Game Day


Yes, I know Maroon is not Carter's color, Maury's either, but she can pull it off a little better. Leigh Ann advised me not to post this but other than the color and collar it's a pretty cute pic, GO DAWGS! Sometimes you must sacrifice fashion for your team. And yes, I also know the Bulldogs played terrible and lost the first game of the season.
