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!

Special Visitors in Birmingham

Matt and Jennifer were in Birmingham for their first time as a family of six so we headed down to visit them.  We had a fun a weekend and I loved getting to hug and kiss on the twins. James is like a little baby model and just sits and poses and smiles.  So there's tons more pictures of him then anyone else!  Catherine made me work for her smiles and I never got one on camera but finally got one in person by the end of the weekend.

The Boys all went to the Barber Speedway Race.  They were excited!







Sunday we did something different and all went to the park for a picnic and to play some baseball.  The crowd was too big for a restaurant and it worked out great because the kids could all run around.  I sat on a blanket taking pictures and eating, which is what I do best these days.  

Picnic Time.
