World Series Week in Orange Beach

     We had a awesome week in Orange Beach with our baseball family! I think we got more beach time than we actually got game time, but beach hangout time was our favorite part.

Playing with Rapunzel puzzles while watching Tangled

     Hannah chose to invite her sweet friend Caroline for pedicures and a playdate to celebrate her birthday after we got back home.  Caroline and her Mommy met me and Hannah for pedicures.  Caroline rode home with us afterwards to play and eat petit fours.  We got petit fours from Sugar Daddy Bakery and made pink raspberry lemonade to drink. The girls played with dolls, stuffed animals, and paper doll princess puzzles.

Hannah's 4th Birthday, Camping, and Baseball

Connor and Hannah

      We took the camper to Southaven for Hannah's birthday weekend full of baseball.  We celebrated our Hannah with a unicorn cake and ice cream at our campsite.  Mimi, Grandy, and the McKissick's came to our little birthday party.  Hannah got a stuffed unicorn from Mommy and Daddy that she named "Sprinkles". 

That Time James Swallowed a Coin

 

     He wasn't sure whether it was a nickel or a quarter.  All he knew was that it was "a silver one."  We took him to get an x-ray at the emergency room.  Then, we just waited for it to make its way back out.  We never saw that coin again, but we are thankful it didn't block his airway.

First Boat Outing of the Summer

     We took Double Play out to Bay Springs Lake for her first trip this summer, and it was a good one.  James rode the ski trainer and Weston tried to ski for the first time. He was able to get up for a few seconds before wiping out.

        Connor and Weston finished 2nd and 4th grades strongly.  Connor took home the character trait award for initiative.
