Florida {Day 1}

It's vacation time and we are heading down to Florida!

D's there too, he's just asleep already.

The ride down was pretty uneventful, so I Snapchatted on the way.

We stopped for lunch at Del Taco {we've been looking forward to this for a couple of months!}

Got our grub on. {And yes those ARE chile cheese fries.  Totally worth every calorie!}

Happy girls will full tummies!

We walked back to the car...the only one in the Atlanta area with a surfboard on its roof I'm sure!

And I got on Facebook to find out that we had gone to the SAME exact Del Taco 4 years ago to the day.  Ironic?

Here's some more photos on our way through Atlanta.

See those geese?  We almost got into a wreck because of those things!  They sure weren't scared of the car.

We hit a freak 30 second rain storm.  And yes, those are Payton's feet by my face.

I was so excited to see Palm Trees again.

We got to Chris' cousin's house in Jacksonville and the kids went swimming until late.  It was awesome.

Dear Mr. Knightley {book review}

Dear Mr. Knightley is a cute, cute, cute book.

I really enjoyed reading it.  I would want to say more, but I don't want to ruin it....so I won't.  But I WILL say - in the first couple of chapters she refers to a lot of classic literature, authors and characters {which I wasn't familiar with - hey, I've JUST gotten into reading!} but it's not important that you know/understand it.  Just keep reading.

I give this book 5 stars!

Week #25 {2016}

Sunday was Father's Day.

Monday we started Gamma......and it is NO JOKE!

The kids got in on a little T25 themselves!

Payton had her first day of cheer camp {which she loved}.

And after we went to the pool.

On the way to Ry's t-ball game, he crashed out.

He must of needed that tiny snooze, because he did great at the game!

He even tagged a player out:

Tuesday I made some fresh Peach Salsa - yummy!

Wednesday was Red White & Blue day at cheer camp.

That evening Papa & Yaya showed up at our house!

We went to dinner with them and someone enjoyed their ice-cream afterwards.

That night Ry wanted to play hairdresser and do Yaya's and my hair.  He was so proud of his work!

Thursday morning, the littles snuggled up on my lap during my quiet time.

Darby, my sweet neighbor/friend, brought us a breakfast casserole last night to bake this morning.  It was awesome!

Payton had her last day of cheer camp.

Papa & Yaya, and my mom and kids and I got to go and watch Payton perform.  {She's in the front in the splits!}

Then that night both kids had a game, at the exact same time, at diagonal fields. We stood in the middle of both fields to watch - but it was cool because BOTH sets of grandparents were there to cheer him on!

Friday we got to watch a trippy storm roll in.

Saturday morning, Papa & Yaya left to go back to California and we headed to the Pay it Forward Festival.

After the festival we hung out back...

And that night we had the BEST {so far} lighting and thunderstorm. We stood outside watching the spectacular show God put on for us. It was amazing.
