Kailey's First Trip to the Beach

RC's cousin came down for a bit. While they were here we headed to the beach. It was kind of bittersweet. You see it was Kailey's first trip to the beach and probably the last for a while. Texas just doesn't have the same water!!!



Here is Kailey putting her feet in the water for the first time! (Just in case you were wondering no she wasn't exactly thrilled. But she did finally warm up to it!) RC decided to goof off with the camera. I'll spare you some of the pictures he took being a typical husband. But I actually liked this one so here you go!
Here's my little Trace! He loves to find shells and build sand castles. He still kind of iffy with being in the water. He was fine when the he was real close to an adult.
Steven and Thara, RC's cousin and his girlfriend. We had so much fun. Aren't they tooo cute together!!!
Okay so tilt your head sideways, No the other way smart allic (yes Shawn I'm talking to you!) Here's our crew! Good grief there are a lot of us aren't there!!

Yes I know this is part of why there are so many of us! But I gotta say I love kissing this man!!!!!



Here's my cute little Andrew. He is mister adventure. His favorite part of the beach was the coke that Steven and Thara let him drink! More coke, drink coke, coke please was all we kept hearing all day!!!AC was buried in the sand. You see the only part that was left showing.He did really great until his brother kicked sand in his face, then he was ready to get out.We were on our way to my favorite restaurant Frenchy's Rockaway Grille. If you go let me recommend you get some She Crab Soup it is absoulutely some of the best soup in the world! It was great we got to see the sunset on the way to the place. Only God can create something so beautiful!

Kailey's half birthday

Well I have been trying to upload pictures for a week now and this is the first I've gotten them to load. So I will say SORRY for taking so long to update you all.

We celebrated my sweet Kailey turning 6 months. The half a birthday celebrations started because Grandma just couldn't wait to have a party so we did it with my oldest AC. And it has been done ever since. Yeah I guess you could say she is a little spoiled when you look at her stuff just for her 6 months birthday. She got some clothes, so toys, a snuggley, and some headbands.
The next two pictures are of her snuggley. Nana had it made for her. She loves snuggling up to it. It is really sweet. Nana had to give it to her early because she went out of town early, but we got it out for pictures: )

The boys thought it was awesome. Uncle Nathan was there!!!!!! Uncle Nathan lives in New Orleans and we only see him every once in a while. You can see by the boys faces they are a big fan of their Uncle Nathan. As you can see Grandma and Grandpa were there as well. For those who don't know the reason for the boxes in the background is we stopped in midst of packing and getting ready for our big move to have this party.


The big move - Well my parents have already made it to Texas. They had a few hiccups along the way. We couldn't fit all of our stuff on the moving truck. Granted it was two families going in one 10x30 truck. We took a few items out that weren't absolute nescessities. They got on the road Saturday morning. Just a little way out of town the truck broke down. Yes you read that right the moving truck broke down! But as my momma said She saw God everywhere. They broke down on the only stretch of the road that had a cement place for them to pull off on. There were trees to shade them. Due to an unexpected pizza moving party the night before our camping chairs were the very last things to be put on the moving truck so they were able to pull them down to sit on them. They were just a little ways out of town so the company was able to send someone out to fix the truck. When the guy came back with the part he came back with some ice water for them. You see some would just look at the negative in the situation but LOOK you can see Gods hand at work even in midst of a very frustrating event. You can read more about it here. (She is slowly getting back to updating so be patient with her. She is also unpacking right now) They then hit LA and had someone point out at a gas station that they had no rear lights whatsoever. Luckily it was someone at a gas station who noticed not a police officer or someone else rear ending them. So you see they had a few hiccups but they are there safely and are unpacking the house.

I will update more later but right now my children are wanting my attention.
