Pictures Continued: Naval Aviation Museum

I must have taken a million pictures at this museum. But, the kids were just too cute! It is so hard to pass up a picture opportunity!

Alex had the perfect outfit for today. Here he is in a plane, getting ready for take off. Can't wait til he is 4 and we can take him to get his own pilot attire.
Finally, mommy's turn to hold Alex and Addie!!!!!!!!


Our First Stop: Pensacola, Florida (Trip to the Museum of Naval Aviation)

On Friday morning of last week, we took the dogs to the kennel and hit the road for Pensacola. We had a very nice ride down there as mommy was able to sit in the back of the van and take care of Addie and Alex. We only had to stop a few times. After checking in to our hotel, we went to Hooters for dinner. Friday night was an early night to bed as we were tired from the road trip. On Saturday morning, we went to the Naval Aviation Museum. This made daddy's day as he loves aviation. For mommy not being much of a tourist, she did enjoy the museum. Here are some pictures from our day!


Here is daddy with the "TRAIN". This stroller was the best investment yet so far. It is light weight and easy to get around.
Addie is not so sure about being up in the Blue Angel Plane! I was so glad that there was not a huge line to get up in this plane as doing it with two kids takes FOREVER!
Alex was quite the HAM today!
Mr. Pilot himself enjoying the museum!

Updates from the Beach Trip

The next few entries will be notes and pictures from our trip this past week to the beach. We were gone a whole week and had a great time. Alex and Addie are quite the little travelers! Enjoy!

Mini Vacation Update

I know that lots of you are dying for updated pictures. This evening, I will try my best to put pictures from our mini vacation on the blog. For the past two nights, we have been in Tallahasee, Florida. This afternoon, we head back to Huntsville, Alabama. Then, we will stay the night at home and leave early in the morning for St. Louis, Missouri.
We have had a rough two days with daddy not feeling well. Thank goodness his sinus surgery is less than a week away. We just hope that the fever goes away and that he starts feeling better before Saturday. They have him on some antibiotics to try and kick an infection. Yesterday, he felt so bad that he went to a urgent care center. At this time, they are pretty sure that it is just a sinus infection. Hint: Reason that he is having the surgery on Tuesday.
Addie and Alex have been great! They sleep through the night even being in a new bed and new place. They are eating like little piggies too. Alex: 6-7 ounces every 3.5 hours .He also eats some cereal and banannas everyday.
Addie: 5-6 ounces every 3.5 hours. She is not too fond of the spoon yet.
Please look for more pictures soon! I will be ready to have my laptop back tonight. I will also be sure and take it with me to St. Louis so that I can update the blog!

Pictures from the Beach



So much to share, but so little time........

We have had a wonderful trip to the beach! On Saturday night, we had family pictures taken on the beach. Jessica Marshall was our photographer. Thanks to her patience and willingness to work with Addie and Alex, I think that we will get some good pictures. She is still reviewing them, but here are two that are just adorable! For more information about this photographer, you can view:


I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for pictures on the beach! Thanks again Jessica for all of your energy, time and most of all patience!!!

There will be lots more pictures coming soon!

Our First Mini Vacation

Well, sorry that there are no pictures from today! As many of you are well aware, we are spending the weekend and some of next week on the beach. I will get pictures posted as soon as I find a minute to take some. Today was CRAZY! Here is how things went... Tomorrow we hope that the weather is nicer and that we can spend some time out at the kiddie pool and walking the beach. Addie and Alex brought their own sun tent to use on the beach. However, we will be very careful in the sun as they are so little still! Then, in the afternoon, we are visiting an outlet mall and Lamberts Restaurant, "Home of the throwed Rolls". I will be sure to get lots of pictures!
The kids are sleeping for the night. This week, I will also get a picture of their little cribs. They are so cute!
Have a great weekend and look for more pictures to come soon!!!!!!!!
