These boots are gonna Walk all over you.

My draft folder holds hidden treasures.  It is July 2013 and I found these from December.  The girls are modeling boots that they got at Ellison's birthday celebration in Alabama.  I also found the pictures from that party in draft, I posted that one back in November.  You can check it out HERE.

 

On the Road AGAIN

The girls and I headed to Murfreesboro/Nashville to see these little girlies.  Stacia and I were a little concerned about the two on the left ganging up on us.  Comparing stories about the two, the seem to be cut from the same cloth.  They all did great and get along so well.  Ellison hung pretty tough, considering she didn't have any naps.

 

We took the girls to the Wild Horse Saloon which is very family oriented.  The girls had a blast cutting a rug on the dance floor and even tried a little line dancing.

 

Cute idea for a picture, right....notice The Red Head in the back.  She was mad because she didn't think she was in the picture.  HILARIOUS!

 

Bellied up to the Bar.

 

Taking in the street below.

 

There was swimming too.

 

....and frogs.  Such a missed opportunity for a candid video with the frog.  One time when he got loose, he hit Ellison's foot and she squealed in terror/glee for several minutes.  Another time he got loose and got stuck in Hadley's hair.  She wigged out!!!!!

Get your Swim ON

Both girls just completed swim lessons for the summer.  Ellison needed to get more comfortable in the water.  If a drop got near her face she kind of freaked out.  Hadley was able to keep herself afloat, but was pretty obsessed with floaties and the security they provide.  If you tried to get her to go in the pool without them, she had a minor meltdown.  Overall, it was a great success, however Red showed her stubborn side a time or five.

 

Raised A New

This little lady could not have been more excited for this night.  I think she danced everywhere on this Sunday.  At VBS two weeks prior she asked Jesus into her heart and on June 30, 2013 she was baptized.

 

Life is just beachy!

Wayne had his 20 Year High School Reunion a few weeks ago and we went to Alabama for the weekend.  Since we were 3/4 of the way to the beach, we decided to take a mini vacation.  So it was off to Panama City Beach for a fun filled four days.  On the way down Wayne looked at the weather report and it looked like we were suppose to have rain every day, thankfully it was gorgeous.  Slightly overcast each day, which made the temperature perfect.

 

I have a lot more pictures of Hadley on this trip.  For some reason, she was being quite the little model.  Not sure what got in to her, but she was even more of a glamour girl than usual.

 

 

 

Before our trip Nana Vicki gave the girls a bag full of goodies and in that bag were some colored bubbles.  The beach is the perfect place for bright purple colored bubbles, because when the dye gets all over them, stick them in the ocean and you are good to go!!!

 

After the beach and dinner we thought we might take the girls out for some fun.  Ellison took a good nap and we could hang out a little while longer before the princess had to go to bed, so we took them to race golf carts.  They had fun...me in a golf cart in a dress not the best combination.  I'm not sure how many people I flashed as I raced around the course...I'm sorry to all the families.

 

I asked for a picture from these two before they raced and this is what I got, Wayne's children for sure.

 

This sums her up so well.  She marches to her own beat and makes her own rules.  One way...???  Don't you mean My Way?

 

Still feeling like we had a little energy in us, we decided to go for PuttPutt while we were at it.  We thought Ellison was old enough to enjoy it.  It was really 17 holes too many for her.  She lost interest after the first hole.  She just ran to the end of each hole, grabbed our balls as soon as we hit them and tried to bring them back to us.  Who needs to keep score when you are having fun!?!!

 

Our last day at the beach.  Both girls got their first taste of a mild sunburn, we forgot to reapply when we were out the day before.  I went and picked up Ellison a rash guard to give her some extra coverage.  It is a total contrast against her tutu bathing suit, but I think it suits her perfectly.
