Just Some I Love...

Yes, another great day at the beach. Shonna already has a great post about this that you can see if you visit the Reeves family, but I just had a few favorite pictures that I wanted to share. The Huckabaa and Clark families joined us too and it was a really great day!

Also, a belated Happy Birthday to Joel! We had so much fun at your pirate birthday party!!

Happy Father's Day

For Ben~

Some of the reasons we love Daddy soooo much:

you worry about us and want to take care of us

you work very hard so we don't have to work so hard

you think our weirdness is unique and special

you sing and dance for us sometimes

you are unbelievably good looking

you let us have big parties even though you don't like them very much

you tell us you love us a lot

you change dirty diapers and give baths

you are passionate about what you love

you know more about Alabama football than anyone else we know

you like to spend time with us

you give us lots of grace when our difficult personalites come through

you watch movies you don't like

you do art projects for us

you care about what's important to us

you help us grow closer to the Lord

you just love us really, really well...

It's a priviledge to have you as a husband and dad! We're so sorry you're not with us today. We love you and hope you have a great Father's Day!!

Splish Splash!!

Amazingly, three bible school teachers and two bible school students CAN find time for a little relaxation the afternoon before commencement! Carrie, Shonna, and I decided to take Caroline, Jack, and baby Fore for a swim this afternoon. My inlaws were out of town, but they love us very much and let us use their pool any time, so we went for a few hours of fun in the sun!!

Jack would just walk off the steps like this and wait on someone to pick him up! Crazy, right? I'm thrilled he's not scared of the water, but we REALLY have to watch him now!!

Do you see any resemblance between these two beauties? They look just alike to me here!

Jack and Aunt Dee Dee

Jack has become a shark!

Summer Fun!!

Life on the Farm

My husband walked outside the other day and said, "I think I'm going to like life on the farm." For those of you who have seen our house, it is far from a farm - more just a country house in need of a LOT of landscaping!! But for Ben who has always lived within the city limits, it's a farm. We did, however, get these pretty squash from our garden. There are lots of other things out there too that I wouldn't know much about. I'm not a garden girl or a veggie girl, but these
look nice on my dining room table!

So, here's to life on the farm! We are LOVING it!!!

John Parker, Caroline, and Jack's Big Splash!

At least that's what Jack had been calling it for a week b/c we are watching "Mickey's Big Splash" many, many times a day lately. So, Julie, Shonna, and I headed to Navarre with our little blessings on Tuesday for a fun day! Jack and I almost missed out and we would have been so bummed b/c we had such a blast! I'm just going to give the highlights and let Julie post more pictures (mainly b/c she takes better pictures and also b/c my camera battery died before JP woke up:)

Here are a few of the kids enjoying some sun and fun! Don't you love this? The pretty ruffles and beautiful bow - so feminine, but perfectly comfortable with that gun in her hand! Daddy, aren't you proud?!



So, Jack and Caroline are playing in the sand. Meanwhile, John Parker...
is sleeping!! This kid is ALL BOY and he had played and played in the water (J and C wouldn't go in to begin with) and he was give out, so he just took a little nap. Isn't he precious, though?


I'm sure there's a mother around somewhere??




Still knocked out!!


We really did have a great time. Sweet friends, beautiful weather, our fun babies - what can be better than that, right?

Julie, I can't wait for you to post b/c as adorable as JP is sleeping, we want to see some shots with his eyes open!!

We can't WAIT to go again!!! Every time anyone says swim or sun or sand or shovel, Jack says "I like the beach!!" He IS like his mother:) I think having such great friends with us helped a lot!!

Just Because I Love This Face!
