Tennessee River Run!

We went to Corinth/ Pickwick for a week this summer. We don't get to go as much as we wish we could. We visited the regular haunts, and visited lots of family. We never seem to have enough time to do all that we want to do. Especially with the baby, we hardly get out of the door before 12pm.
Aubrey had a great time riding the Waverunner, inner tubing, and boating.

The Best Beach Trip Ever?




Well...we survived our beach trip. No one got a bad sunburn, I think in part because we didn't spend much time at the beach. For the second year in a row, the water has be so full of seaweed that we dare not enter. One day we even had jellyfish so bad we couldn't even play n the sand for fear of being stung. Aubrey was even stung by sea nettles one day. As a result, he was scared to go into the water for the rest of the week.



We went to the beach with our longtime friend the Seiden Family. Four boys strong, it sure made for a lively bunch. (Especially with my two!) The boys found the pool to be the most fun. I suspect the older they are the more fun the beach will become.



We stayed at the Lily Pad at Carillon Beach. This is our third stay at Carillon. We have always stayed in a different house each year, I bet we always will. We ride around in the golf cart looking for our next place or place to buy!




The entry where Oliver slept through the night...well...that hasn't happened since. It was worse at the beach. It made it hard to enjoy a vacation when you are getting up 4 times a night or when you are getting up at 5:20am because someone is bright eyed and bushy tailed.




We went to the Margaritaville restaurant in Panama City on Tuesday night. I reserved the "Boat Table" a couple of months ago. It was so fun! They had people walking on stilts and making balloon animals. We got up and sang and danced to Margaritaville. The little ones had no idea how or what Jimmy Buffet was about. It was a fun outing for the adults anyway. Anywhere you have a whole menu of Margaritas is my kind of place!

We left on Saturday to thunderstorms. Just in time!

Summer Cupcakes



We made the cutest cupcakes! (Beach themed of course) They are chocolate cake, blue icing, graham crackers for the beach and Swedish Fish for the fish.






They are fun and easy to do with kids.

We are bringing them to the beach for all of the kids to enjoy!

SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Well, it finally happened. Oliver sleep from 9pm-6:15am. It is a miracle. I wondered when it would happen. It took Aubrey 6 months to do it as well.

He even sleep all night in his bed. He usually end up in the bed with me at some point. BUT, not last night. Per usual, I rolled over and suspected he was dead.

I hope we are as lucky in the upcoming nights, knock on wood! We are about to leave for the beach, and it would be great if I didn't have to get up for that feeding.
