Destin...2014!!! and Auburn football game

We went to Destin this year with my family! For those of you that don't know us, this is a crazy idea for my mom, dad, sis, and her hubby. I'm not sure when the last time was that any of them showed face on the beach but from the pics below, I hope you can see all the fun we had! While there was some craziness, there was so much fun, laughter, and memories made!!! My mom, dad, kids, ad niece all stayed in the motorhome which was literally parked on the beach like sand at your doorstep!!! My sister and her husband stayed in a cabin on the campgrounds and Matt and I stayed at a hotel about a mile away. We spent time on the beach and at the pool for about 6 days!

While down there, Matt and I made a trip back up to Auburn as he and the 2004 National Championship team were being recognized for the 10 year anniversary! It was so great to be back on The Plains even though it was for such a quick visit!

First theatre movie as a family...

For my birthday, I wanted to spend time with Matt and our family. Matt and I enjoyed an early afternoon and then we took the kiddos to the theatre for the first time. We knew Cameron would be a handful but g-papa had taken Alex before so we hoped he would enjoy it...and boy did he!!! We saw "Planes...Fire and Rescue" and Alex stayed glued to the screen for the most part eating popcorn and drinking lemonade!

Cameron did better than expected until the last 15 minutes where we just let her go up and down the aisles since there weren't many people!

The movie got real exciting right at the end and it was just enough to grab this picture... Love their little heads poking up!

Matt and I later went to dinner and just enjoyed some time to talk without interruption!

Family weekend (August)

I always love when any of our family is able to come spend a weekend with us! My mom and dad were able to come earlier this month so we enjoyed a great weekend and spent some time at the waterpark!

Cameron's 2yr old daycare class -

I absolutely LOVE the daycare we use! The University School for Young Children has made a huge impact on our lives. One of the things they do is share on FB (private group) what your kiddos do each day... This helps in so many ways to get the details of what they're up to!!! I could not have prayed for a better place nor teachers to leave my kids in their hands every day!!! Here are a few pics from Cameron's new 2 year old classroom (Mrs. Alicia):

Working on shapes -

Glue and jewels -

Wall painting -

Stacking blocks (motor skills) -

Swing... I can just hear her "I swin"

What better place to start than...

... with the kiddos!!!

Alex:

 - turned 4 in February and talks like he's 40!!! Makes awesome sentences and says things that I can't believe he understands!

 - loves airplanes, dinosaurs, batman, tractors, and anything "big"

 - plays so well with Cameron and enjoys checking on her at daycare

 - eats almost anything if he's in the mood for it...even SALADS (doesn't get that from mommy)!!!

 - his favorite juicy is Blueberry-Banana

 - has the biggest heart! He is so cuddly and loves to give kisses which I never turn down!

 - has started talking about Jesus (melt my heart) and loves singing the kids songs he learns at Rally Room at church!

Cameron:

 - oh goodness...where to begin?!?

 - turned 2 in April and acts like she's going on 12! (teenager years may be a little scary at times)

 - she's a little spitfire but will light up your day in a heartbeat!

 - her personality is so fun and spunky at this moment and I hope it stays like this!!!

 - doesn't sit for a meal; is more of a grazer and will take 2 hours to nibble on dinner! Pretty picky at times but never stops eating!

 - she loves her "bwudda" but has no trouble being the dominant child of the family!

 - loves ladybugs, riding her bike, and plays with almost any toy she finds to make a mess with!

 - loves music and dancing, most any cartoon theme song, and songs we play at dinner time!

My heart bursts with joy every morning to see these 2!!! Y'all are the light of our lives and can't wait to see what the future holds!
