First Family Vacation plus a wedding too! (warning: way too many pictures...)

We've never done a vacation before that wasn't either work related for Jon or with extended family.   Every year I've wanted to go to the beach before the peak season of crowds and unbearable heat.  We thought this would be a good year to give it a shot before our life goes to a school schedule (hard to believe thats right around the corner)!  We were planning on being in Birmingham memorial day weekend for my cousin Kerrie's wedding so we just tacked on a beach trip to the beginning of that. It was a great way to kick off the summer!

Can you tell Wes had fun?  I really should have limited his PBS time before our trip because I'm pretty sure he was screaming that he saw a "Sea Urchin"!




Obviously, We had some wardrobe issues that first day!



We went to get icecream one night so of course I had to take some (ok lots) pictures.  Moments are rare where everyone is relatively clean, dressed and happy!














"OK mom thats enough"

Hard day at the office!


Poor Sleepy Baby.


You have no idea how many tries it took to get a pic with the glasses (halfway) on!




One last picture before leaving
We were sad to see our vacation end but were excited to head to Birmingham for a fun weekend with lots of family and one last BEAUTIFUL Cavender cousin wedding at my Aunt and Uncles House!

Hard to top this for a wedding spot!  

Best way to get everyone to sit still for a picture: Sonic Happy Hour! 

Silly Kiddos!
Just not sure if any of the kids had fun at all??

Congrats to  Kerrie and Jon!! We love you guys!

End of Summer

I've been really sad to see summer come to an end this year.  Don't get me wrong I'm ready as ever for cooler weather and of course to meet our new little one but I just feel like everything in our lives is going so quickly right now! We slowed down some in August for obvious reason but still managed to have some fun at home.

We spent a Saturday morning @ Cheekwood Gardens playing on the tree houses. Well Jon and Wes played while I slowly walked around...




One last summer watermelon for Labor Day.

Morning @ the park.

August came with a week under the weather so we spent sometime on the couch watching movies.

Last of the summer swims :(

Jon and Wes on a friday night "campout".  Wes kept waking up in the night asking Jon to scoot over, I think we need a bigger tent!



 Checking out the train @ my doctors appointment one last time. I won't miss going but I think Wes will miss the train.


A Chic-fil-a dinner date and saturday morning doughnuts.  The sacrifices I have to make for Wes!






Free Kids movies were a great break from the heat!

Followed by a motorcycle ride


We also had to get creative with some ways to entertain ourselves @ home...

Wes has grown up so much over the summer and we've had a blast together!

A Break from the heat.



The weather was so nice this weekend that we couldn't help spending Saturday evening outside with a picnic dinner followed by some ice cream.  Wes rode his bike and noone even sweated, when has that ever happened in the south in the middle of August?  It's a third trimester miracle...
