Vacation PCB 2011--Day 2

Vacation PCB 2011--Day 1

This year we could not decide where we were going for vacation, I wanted to go to the beach and Kris wanted to go to Gaitlinburg.  It was Friday afternoon before we decided where we were going, with the help of my bestie, Susan, finding us a condo and convincing my husband he would spend less at the beach!!

Tuesday night at 11pm we packed up he car and headed out!  We arrived in Panama City Beach at 6am Wednesday morning.  The kids did great, Kaylee slept the whole way there and Kara Brooke slept most of the way.  It did make the trip so easy driving at night...I was skeptical at first!

Since we couldn't get in our condo until later on in the afternoon we made the most of our first day.  We had breakfast and then headed out to stroll down the pier.

After that we went to hang out with our sweet friends, The Sanders family.  They were down there on vacation and more importantly their oldest daughter was there to play in the Fastpitch World Series!

After visiting with them and checking in our first condo....and then our second condo.....yes I said 1st and 2nd condo we headed to the beach!!  Just a little side note, our 1st condo was not up to Kris' standards...much less mine!!!  I will not go in complete detail but trust me it was F-U-N-N-Y...I felt like I was on HGTV's condo hunters or something!!  Anyway we got settled in our awesome condo and hit the beach!!

After the beach we got cleaned up and met back up with The Sanders at Pineapple Willies for dinner we had the best time and we are so thankful for such great friends!!

Acting silly before we left!!

Getting ready to ride go carts not real sure what KB is doing in this picture!

KB having fun!

Taylor was the go cart CHAMP.....even though Kris thinks he was...ha!

The first day ended with two tired girls!!!

July 4th weekend

Hope you all had a great July 4th weekend, we sure did!

VBS, Father's day, house guest and catch up

Kaylee's friend Taylor O. always invites her to her church's VBS every year and of course this year was no exception.  This year the setting was in NEW YORK, the Big Apple!!!  As always the decorations were great and Kaylee always learns a lot.  We are very thankful for our friends.

A few Sundays ago we celebrated Father's Day!

I know I have said it the last 10 years but our girl's have an amazing father!!  He is always there and always find the time to get it all done.  Thank you Kris, we love you!!

"Come on KB smile pretty....."

I get this.....

...and then this!!!!

LOL, so typically Kara Brooke!

    

As many of you already knew our sweet Tom, (Kris' Mom's friend, who she has been with over 30 years but never married, who still live in separate homes--might as well say Kris' step-dad---ok now that complicated mess is understood....) has been very sick and in the hospital for 4 weeks.  Today he is doing better and is rehabilitating in a local nursing home but still has a long way ahead of him.  Anyway, MeMe stayed with him day and night and since she was gone we had a house guest....

Meet Tilly.....

She is the sweetest little puppy ever and she is sooooo good.  However, we did enjoy our time with her but now we realize a dog just would not fit in our lives.  #1  WE ARE NEVER HOME!!!

The girls absolutely LOVED her!

And she loved them!

How about them smooches for Kara Brooke from Tilly!!!

Since then we have been playing a lot of softball.  Kaylee's team won a championship and we are still improving every game.  We have one tournament left and that is a TN State tournament and then we will be off a week or two and then we will be gearing up for fall ball with new coaches and a new name.  So excited for Kaylee about that!!!

Also Kaylee attended a church day camp with some friends and absolutely LOVED it.  We are seriously considering that for our new church home.  More on that later.

Last week Nana was off all week so Kaylee got to spend the whole week with her.  Nana fixed dinner one night last week just so we could see our daughter!!  ha!  I am so thankful that Kaylee got to spend a week with her such fun memories for both of them.  One day she had friends over to Nana's to swim, one day Nana took Kaylee and a friend to Chuck E. Cheese to play and then Steak n Shake it eat.  And the list goes on and on.....Ahhhh fun summer time.

I remember spending the summers with my Granny and it was the BEST TIME OF MY LIFE!!!

Oh the memories....Thanks Nana for making those memories with Kaylee!!

And still in the middle of all of this summer fun...golf lessons for Kaylee are going great!!!  She LOVES it, she will tell you she is by far not the best just yet, but it takes time and years to master that sport!!! ha! Too funny!!!

Seems like all of the above is what Kaylee has been up too and nothing about our sweet KB.....she has been going to her favOrite daycare and being with her besties and has been drug around to all the ball parks, which she loves, I might add!  And when we are at home, she is doing something like this.....

a path of destruction!!!!!  Here she has emptied two toy boxes, with her Dora dress on because, "I'm wooking for sumpin!!"  LOL

We are gearing up for a fun in the sun 4th of July weekend!!

Hope you have a great one!!!!
