Birthday Weekend

It has taken me a while, but here is the last installment of birthday pictures. We were so glad most of Kevin’s family was able to make the trip to Mississippi for the party. Kevin’s sister Julie and her family came from South Georgia with Kevin’s parents and his sister Tiffany and her family made the 13 hour drive from North Carolina. We don’t have the opportunity to get together much so it was a lot of fun. Drew really loved playing with his cousins and having everyone come his house for a change.

Playing with Aunt Tiffany---Aunt Tiff and Uncle Jeff re-paid us for the Star Wars light sabers we gave their kids several years ago for Christmas. 
Drew loves his new air ball toy that shoots out balls and yells "hooray."

The frisbee golf course at the park across from our house was a BIG hit!!

Kaitlin was the target!

Austin was too cool

Jace isn't too sure about the camera

This is one of the only pics I got of Jackson.  He was our photographer for the weekend when he wasn't on his iPod.

Loving Aunt Julie

Showing off his Andy tricks.  He loves Andy and Georgia.  Not surprising one of his first words was "Dawwwgggg".  Another favorite word is "Side"-which means outside and generally is followed by alot of jibberish if we aren't moving fast enough.  He is definitely an outdoor baby.  In a few years I suspect we won't see much of him when he gets home from school in the afternoon.  Hard enough now to get him in for a bath.  Lately we have found wonderful dinner time peace.  We feed Drew while we are fixing dinner and then he runs laps in the walker around the patio table while we eat.  Kevin thinks he is training for NASCAR since he only turns left around the table. 

We are at the beach right now for our first family vacation.  Kevin and I have been coming down for the Mississippi Bar Convention for years, but this is our first with a baby in tow.  We barely made it here.  I am not sure how three people need so much stuff to travel, but we didn't have any room to spare.  The Tahoe was packed and we needed the tow rack.  I promise to post pictures soon.  Drew loves the pool and loves taking walks.  He even enjoyed watching the fireworks on the beach from our condo window last night.  He hasn't felt very good today.  We are hoping he is just worn out and will bounce back.  It is raining outside so it is a good day to stay in and get some energy.  Kevin's cousin, who is in her second year of college in South Georgia, came down to help out with Drew.  Looking forward to some nights out with Kevin.  Beach in Destin is beautiful today.  HazMat crews come out at night to clean the beach. So sad.  It is like a scene from a bad movie.  No reports of oil or tar bars so far.  We are sticking to the pool just in case.

Promise to share pictures. 

Happy Summer!
