Brad Paisley & Sugarland

During the Wal-Mart Shareholders week we went to the Brad Paisley and Sugarland concert.
They were both great! Sugarland was really fun!!
People come from all over the world for the Shareholders meetings. It was really funny because Chile had a big group---they had on their "Wal-Mart Chile" shirts. They were partying the whole concert---dancing and swaying!
We saw them after the concert on Dickson Street and tried to talk to them but they didn't speak any English!! But they sure were having a good time!

I didn't get any pics of Brad Paisley!?!

Henry after a LONG DAY at the BEACH!!!
SOOOOO EXCITED to catch a BIG CRAB!!!

We had an outdoor shower and Henry LOVED it!!! He took several showers there everyday!
After being on the beach he might stay in there for hours----playing and cleaning his seashells!
We are thinking about building an outdoor shower at our house!?!
One day RIGHT after we got to the beach Henry announced to me that he needed to go back to the house to "tee tee"......being lazy I told him to tee tee in the ocean. He got an excited look on his face and RAN out to the ocean and dropped his pants!!!!! The first time he dropped them to his ankles!!! Mom and I had tears rolling down our faces we were laughing so hard. I tried to explain to him later that he didn't have to pull down his pants.....but I caught him doing it several more times!! I accidently let him get a little TOO much sun the first day---but I think his white bottom looks so cute!!!

We had a great week at the beach and we can't wait to go back!!!

Florida Vacation - Part 1

We went to Florida in May---the week before Memorial Day Weekend. We left Fayetteville at 12:30 AM on Friday morning--we were planning on leaving really early Friday morning but we were so ready to go that we decided to move the kids from their beds and take off!
Our car was PACKED FULL!

We made it for lunch at The Backporch!
Mark, Courtney, Ellie, and Hunt left from Hope Friday morning and met us at The Backporch.
That is always our first stop---it is fun to eat there and get to walk out on the sand
after the long drive!


Lucy LOVED the sand and the water. All the kids clothes were soaked and sandy by the time we left The Backporch to go check in at Sandestin. We rented a villa at Sandestin for Friday night. We all swam Friday afternoon and then headed to Baytowne Wharf for dinner.

Lucy passed out at Baytowne!
Playing at Sandestin

Lucy wasn't a fan of the helmet!

Saturday afternoon Lila and Jim met us for lunch at Dewey Destin as they were getting into town. Then we headed to Seagrove to our house for the week.
