sister's trip

Last weekend all the "sisters" got together on the coast for a quick getaway and had a wonderful time. There was a lot of rain on and off but we didn't have any trouble enjoying ourselves. Hopefully we can make this an annual trip but hopefully we can go farther away than Biloxi!!

While I was down on the Coast I was able to attend Cannon's 2nd birthday party. He insisted it be a waterfall cake so Lauren got creative and make him a waterfall cake. Below is Cannon and dad playing with his new remote controlled Mater truck from Cars 2.

Here is the birthday boy! Crosby II and cousin Josephine enjoying a ride together. The waterfall cake that the boys helped Lauren makeI finally got to meet sweet baby Charlie. He is sweet boy that is allowing his mom to get a little more rest than the other two ever allowed!

June was a very busy month so I will try to get you all caught up! The pictures are impossible to organize but I will try and keep you in order. For Father's day Clif got a tent a.k.a. the family lodge. It is 11 by 20 and can fit six twin air mattresses. We decided to set it up in the back yard and see how the kids would do camping out. Parker went to sleep but Bennett had to come back inside so I stayed out under the stars with Parker. In the meantime the kids had a great time playing in it despite the high temperatures!

Pirate Bennett at Ruby's 3rd birthday party! Parker got a super cute new haircut and some cool feathers to compliment her new do! Orla is getting bigger every day and has the most wild hair!! One of our mexican restaurants has a mariachi band on Wednesday nights and we all went with Yaya and the kids kept everyone entertained with their dancing. I'm hoping to add a video of this soon! My cutie pie enjoying the sunshine! I can't get enough of this adorable face....unless she is screaming!!! Lulu and Corrine enjoying hanging out together! Corrine is Jon & Alison's little girl who turned one in May. We went on our first camping trip the Friday night before Father's Day. Lulu stayed in Greenwood but Brian and Ruby joined us. We had a great time despite the warm temperatures and definitely see us camping in the future! Saturday morning was Ruby's 3rd birthday so we celebrate with cupcakes for breakfast!

Here is the family lodge!

June is always dance camp time and my little campers were excited about their 3rd dance camp! They did great and I will post videos soon!

June marked the end of Bennett's tee ball games and his end of the year party and trophy presentation. Once we told him that he was going to get a trophy for playing baseball he asked about it every game! We were so proud of him for waiting patiently for them to call his name because he was last!!

Bennett, Clif and the TROPHY!! (23 tee ball games later!!)

This will be the last photo you see of Bennett in his floaties. He took two weeks of swim lessons this summer and is now jumping off the diving board and swiming to the ladder!! He has taken huge steps this summer!

I got creative one morning for breakfast and no one ate it.....I was very disappointed and it is cereal from here on out! I will remind them of this when they get older and ask for more than just cereal!

Everyone left Poppa and Coco's house this morning and Langley took advantage of the quiet.

Lulu's first carwash

I didn't even think about the carwash being scary! She didn't uncover her eyes until we were completely out of the carwash. Sweet baby Lulu!
