4th of July 2014

Sticking with tradition, we headed to PCB for the 4th of July. The weather was MUCH more cooperative this year and we didn't see one rain drop the entire time we were there, whereas last year we didn't see one ray of sunshine. In true William style, he busted his head open Thursday morning by falling out of his stroller head first and getting a rock lodged in his forehead. Okay, it sounds much worse that it actually was but it was still quite scary. My mom and I ended up taking him to the emergency clinic to be sure he didn't need stitches. Thankfully he didn't! After that scary incident, we had a fabulous trip!

 The Billings and young Billings were in PCB too and stayed at a condo with this view! We ate dinner over there Thursday night. 

 Loved seeing this precious, expecting (in January) couple! 

 Wild thang sportin' his bandaid.

 Some of the many faces of William...

 Birthday snuggles with Daddy Steve!

 Enjoying a prize which he earned by cooperating for some pictures :)

 Mommy/William picture fail...yet again!

 Ken and Barbie aka Uncle Doug and Katie

 My handsome dudes

 Jan Jan and Sam were there too!!! Jan Jan and Juju spent 98% of their time in the kitchen so I don't have a single picture of them. We ate VERY well ;)

 Loves Uncle Doug

 One last boat ride...it was definitely one of the best 4th's ever!

Matt and Virginia's Wedding

In June, Grant and I traveled to New Orleans for Virginia and Matt's BIG wedding weekend. We made the trip with our besties, Ragan and Kyle, and let's just say those two know how to do NOLA. We had the best time wining and dining with best friends, getting dressed up, staying up until midnight (we're old), sleeping past 6:30, and catching up with other old friends until the wee hours of the morning. I didn't take my camera with me because I was too paranoid I'd lose it. It was hands down the most fun wedding weekend ever!

 We left Thursday morning so we got there in time to enjoy the city and relax.

 We had an incredible dinner Thursday night. We loved seeing the Steffen's!!!

 Rehearsal dinner with my man.

 Yaya's...it's hard to believe we're all married now!

 Kori came in town Friday night so I got to catch up with her and hear about her wedding plans after the rehearsal dinner. She's next!

 The reception was so beautiful and fun! The most exciting part of the night was the second line parade at the end of the reception where the bride and groom walked the streets of New Orleans with a band & followed by the entire entourage. 

 I spy Danny :)

 It was also fun spending time with my parents sans William! Aunt Birdie and Ah-Dah held down the fort with William in Bham. We are forever in debt to them for that!!!!

And I don't have one picture of the gorgeous bride herself...I'll be back with one!

Summertime

Some of my most favorite pics come from the iphone and I haven't posted any phone pics since William's 24 month post. 

Loved running into Baby Quinn at the park one day. 

Flashback to Disney!

Going in for a kiss...Finley wasn't too sure!

Dreaming of Disney on the amazing pillow Diana made for him :)

Our last adventure in Disney World....paddle boating! It's safe to say William was wiped out by this point in the trip.

 Neighbor babes at the beach feeding each other blueberries!

Surprise 50th birthday for my awesome co-worker.

Quinn's 1st birthday party

Barons baseball game fun

William is taking swimming lessons at someone's home. They happen to have a massive 25 year old pet tortoise and I'm shocked that William isn't terrified. I don't have any pictures of William in the water at his lessons because he insists that I get in the pool with him...ah!

Granny bought him a REAL soccer outfit. He loves it! We also had a wonderful weekend with Granny in Birmingham this past weekend. William is a giggle box when Granny is around :)

He is growing up WAY too fast!!!
