Randy's Fishing Trip

Randy went on an offshore fishing trip with some guys with work. They went to Panama City Beach and went out 51 miles in the ocean. It took 4 hours to get there. They went out Saturday morning and came back Sunday afternoon. He had a great time.

Our trip to The Museum of Natural History

While Randy was gone on his fishing trip, we headed up to Atlanta to visit the museum. Gramma and Bumpa came along too. We ate at the Majestic Diner for lunch and then spent the day in the museum. We also saw the IMAX show about Antartica. The girls and Gramma thought it was sort of boring but Bump and I liked it. They had a special exhibit about Polar Bears and Penguins.

Here is Sam with a penguin suit on sliding on her belly like they do

Sam and Chels put their penguin suits on and tried to keep their eggs on their feet just like the penguins.

Chels didn't do so well! There goes her egg rolling across the floor!

Sam went very slow. She said it was so hard to keep it there.

The girls with a HUGE dinosaur

They had a sensory room. The girls had a good time in there doing a bunch of experiments. Here is Chelsea doing the weather. They did this for a long time! Plus, this gives Chels another chance to check her hair...ha!

Sam's turn! Something crazy must be about to happen!

JUSTIN IS HOME!

Our nephew, Justin, made it back from Iraq. He came up a couple weeks ago, then headed home to PA for a couple weeks. I picked him up at the airport on Friday. That night we all went to Stone Mountain to check out the new laser show. We had a good time together. We are so glad he made it home safely!

Me and my girls

They all got cherry icees. Of course Chels immediately wished she would have chosen Lemon instead of cherry. That way she wouldn't have red teeth and lips. You know, in case any cute boys were there. Sam...she didn't care.

See? I got Lemon!

Goofy kids

Justin took us to lunch the next day. What a bunch of geeks.

Dustin Malley

The son of our good friends, Ron and Mona, was in Atlanta last week. I drove up to Atlanta to get him for the day. He's doing so well and really has it together. I can't believe he's starting his second year of college! We are so proud of you Dustin!

Dustin and Chels. These two go WAY back. I think Chels was 3 when she first met Dustin. They always had a good time together.

OUR TRIP TO FLORIDA
The girls and I headed to Florida for 5 days. We had a GREAT time. Sam was so sad to leave and can't wait to see her cousins again.

Kaitlin came along on our trip. Here's all the girls piled on her.

We started off with a trip to the beach. Traci and the girls met us there. The girls had a blast and we loved lounging in our chairs and running our mouths all day.

After the beach we headed to Traci's house to celebrate Brooke's birthday. We get this shot every summer...they are getting so big!

JUMP!

The birthday princess

She liked all of her presents...Happy Birthday Brooke!

Friday night we went to the water park. It was too cold for me and Amy, especially once the sun went down! Thank god Troy went along because he would get in with the girls! The kids had a great time and were pooped on the way home.

All the girls

Anne and Sam
Saturday we went to the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club courtesy of Troy's friend, Ed. THANKS ED! We always have a great time there. The clouds and rain started rolling in around 2pm so we had to cut our day short...bummer.

Sam and Big Al

Troy and Anne made a pyramid and a mummy. It turned out great!

Looks just like her!

Amy and I

All of us eating lunch on the beach

Sam and Big Al. These two both had ear problems this whole trip. Sam had swimmer's ear and Big Al had a ear infection. They both had to wear ear plugs everytime they went swimming and needed ear drops 3 times a day. They were troopers!!!

Big Al was pooped.

I met a dear friend of mine on Saturday night. We hadn't seen each other in 7 years and I recently found out she was back in Jacksonville. It was great catching up with you Jacqueline!! See you soon!!

Father's Day

Randy's Father's Day started off with getting up at 4:30 in the morning to go fishing...with Chelsea! Yes folks, she did get up that early and went fishing with him. I must say, I was shocked. They got back around noon and then we went over to Gramma and Bumpa's for the afternoon. It was a nice day. Happy Father's Day guys!

Randy with his new waders for the creek...doesn't he look excited???
