a splash of color

Although this was originally bought to resell... I can enjoy it for a little while, right?
This is my latest Craig's list find. I forgot to take before pictures, but if you can imagine...it was a light oak color and the bottom had some -not so cute- sliding doors. After a little bit of attention...I love it! I'm going to put baskets in the bottom shelves when I find the right ones.

rock star...

this is music to my ears;)

Once again....

they thought it would be cute to "fix" their own hair.
Parker has the thickest hair ever. This fro is only 4 days after a haircut!

special request...

from a little boy who turned 3. Happy birthday Weston!

Father's day...

Last minute, we decided we would go to the Vicksburg military park to do something "different".
It was so stinking HOT! The boys ran up and down the hills, looked at every cannon and enjoyed listening to the way things were "back then". Did I mention it was HOT! We got home to a house with no electricity, took cold showers, and decided to let daddy open his fathers day, a day early. The boys were so proud of the cards they made him. I'm so proud of the daddy and husband he is. He is a wonderful example to our three boys. I am blessed.

Another beautiful day!

Last night we went out in search for crabs.

 This was the first year I've been able to join in the fun. I have had a baby to stay in the room with every year. I know now why Aron discouraged me going...telling me I would have to pick the crab up for the boys and it would pinch me... so be careful! After hearing that, there was no way I was going! He would go hunting with the older boys and I would stay with the baby. Well we all went last night and it was FUN! Hudson was a trooper. We caught several. Aron was the only one who got pinched. He deserved it! The weather has been perfect and no oil has been spotted anywhere on the beach. Praise the Lord!

Yesterday...

we were off to the beach!


Today this is the view we woke up to...

Someone decided to sleep late. Why doesn't that happen at home?!

  

 We played in the sand...

we played in the water...

and we played in the seaweed!
