McWhorter Trip - {2012}

Conn's parents rented a house right on the beach for our family vacation. We had such a wonderful time.  It was so great being on the beach. I was able to just walk back and forth with Rhett for naps and such.

The weather was spectacular! We would play all morning, come in for lunch and "naps", then go back out again for more fun in the sun! It was a perfect schedule!

 

 

 

 Sweet baby boy did great for his first time at the beach. He pretty much hated the sand, so I would lay out a towel and he would just sit on it and play and eat snacks. It worked out great for me because I didn't have to chase him everywhere! Ha! 

 

He did like the water. Well, for the most part. This picture cracks me up!

 

I love this crazy boy!!

Chilling back at the house.

Lily turned "8" while we were there (birthday post to come). Birthday at the beach! So stinking F-U-N!!

 After dinner, we would squeeze in as much fun as we could before the sun went down.

Dinner out with a huge family is always an adventure!

Kids only talent night. 

Stop at the ice cream shop and candy store before heading home.

Evidence of an awesome week! Thank you, Nanny and PawPaw!

11 Months

Our little caboose is 11 months old, today! In one month, he will be O-N-E! This year has flown by!! Rhett is so sweet and very content. He has a very funny personality and it makes us laugh daily! 

Here are a few of things he is up to this month...

7 teeth.

Guessing around 21ish lbs? No idea.

12 month shorts. 18-24 month shirts.

Not walking.

Crawls, climbs, pulls up on everything.

Moved to big car seat.

LOVES food! Will eat almost anything.

Nurses 3 times a day. Starting to wean him.

Drinks from a sippy cup.

Will NOT take a bottle.

On a regular day, takes 2, 2-3 hr naps and sleeps 7:30-7ish during the night. 

Words...dada, momma, bye, night-night, hahaha (really funny!), that's all, thank you, stop, no, uh-oh.

Waves, claps, throws hands in the air when asked how big he is.

Summer Fun

This summer has been full of various camps and church vacation bible school's. My kids LOVE to be on the go and involved in activities. So, I found as many as I could find to enroll them in. A lot of them were free, so that was a huge bonus!!

Lily went to her very first church camp at the beginning of June. I was so excited for her to go! I loved camp and went every year growing up!
(Packed each days outfit in a separate baggie. Brilliant idea!)

It was for 4 nights/5 days. Conn, being a pastor, was asked to go and lead worship during the services. Although he and Lily rarely saw one another, I am so glad that they were able to be there together. She had the greatest time and is already counting down the days until next summer! I love that she loves new experiences and isn't the least bit hesitate about jumping into new situations. I was so not that way, and missed out on so many fun things growing up! She definitely got her outgoingness from her daddy! :)

We went to see them off. (Maggie was at cheer camp.) It was early morning, but it was so H-O-T!!!!

Lily and her sweet friend, Lillian.

I loved getting random pics of my girl throughout the week. Perks of your hubby being at camp! 

 

 The boys and I took a little road trip and went to camp for the day. We had a blast! 

 Rhett was loved on by many of the counselors.

They're home!! Thankful she had such an amazing time and a life changing week! She said the only thing she missed was her bed! Ha! Love that!! :)

 While Lily was at church camp, Maggie, went to cheer camp. She was in heaven!! On the last day, they performed a little show for us that included cheers and a dance. Very cute!

They attended a VBS with their cousin's one week. Such a blessing that the 5 girls' are all the same ages and that we live minutes away from them!

While the girls' are busy having fun, the boys' and I run errands and hang out.

Both girls attended Destiny Sports camp at a local church. Lily signed up for basketball and Maggie did soccer. They had an awards ceremony and family fun night the last day. It was SO well done and the girls not only learned about each sport, they had SO much fun as well!

 

These are only a few of the activities that they've been involved in. I love, that they love, being SO involved! Makes my heart happy that they're SO social!
