Beach trip with Mom!

Last Friday, Mom and I took the boys to the gulf for a morning trip at the beach! It was SO much fun, and I'd wished we had more time there!

The boys jumped right in and started playing!

Mom was hilarious feeding the birds.

We did a little kite flying with the boys kites, since they weren't interested

in anything else but sand and water!

And then one flew away, so I had to chase it. LOL

Then we wised up, and just hooked the kites to the cooler, and

let the gulf breeze do the work!

Caleb and I chased the birds and seagulls!

It's one of our favorite beach pastimes. :)

The boys had lunchables for their lunch. All the swimming and running makes for

a hungry little person. ;)

Ay didn't even eat much, he was just LOVING the water.

Seeing these smiles make me want every day

to be a beach day!

We had such a great time, and I'm so glad we went!

This pretty much sums up how we all felt afterwards!

Nothing sweeter than a sleeping babe!

Leavin' on a jet plane..

Darryl flew out to Oklahoma City to the FAA Academy today. We are very excited to get this journey started! He'll be there for a little more than 7 weeks and then we'll immediately move to Brandon, MS! He'll start working at the Jackson airport right away, we cannot wait for that.

Anyway, we had a great last week before he left. Thursday we went to the local park here and let the boys play on the splashpad there. They love getting all wet with the water that shoots out of the ground! It's so neat. Then we walked around to the pond they have there and let the boys throw rocks in it. It's the simple things in life they just seem to love..and it's so cheap for us parents! ;)

Friday we got up early to go to the Riverwalk in New Orleans with Mike & Jenna. It was a great time, and pretty nice weather!! We ate at the Hard Rock Cafe there and it was yummy! We enjoyed taking in the sights and just hanging out. The boys were tuckered out by the time we left.

Saturday we took beach trip to our favorite part in Gulfport! It's a really shallow part where we don't have to worry about it being too deep for the kids, and there aren't alot of people either! It's perfect, and the boys LOVE it! They never want to leave. Caleb & Daddy really enjoyed finding crabs in the water, and Daddy said he even saw a stingray! I didn't get a pic of that though. After we were done we packed up and headed home so the boys could take naps before meeting Mimi, Pa J & Juji at Chuck E Cheese!! The boys always have a blast there, and the grandparents loved hanging out with them too.

We made lots of memories and just had a wonderful time hanging out together this past week. We should be closing on the house on September 15th, God willing!! This is such an exciting time in our lives, and we can't wait to get into our home!
