An Afternoon at The Ocean!












More Vacation Pics!










Here are the pics from our second day of vacation! Parker and Cade really liked riding the lazy river with their daddies! After a long morning of playing in the water, Parker crashed out on a lawn chair by the pool!

We Are On Vacation!

Chilling in the shade and drinking his juice.

So...here we are Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We arrived early yesterday morning and the Brooks' arrived yesterday afternoon. This was our first full day together and we spent the biggest part of it on the beach and playing in the pool! Here are the pics that I managed to get....just thought you all may be wondering how Parker's first trip to the ocean is going! We are having a great time! I will try and post more pics as the week goes on (its easier for me to blog while I am on vacation...I actually have time to blog!)

Our New Bathroom!




For those of you who read our blog, you know that we have been putting an addition on our house. The addition is off of our guest bedroom (which will now become the master bedroom). The addition consists of a master bath and walk-in closet. We are so glad that it is almost done! Here are some pics of the bathroom vanity and the rest of the bathroom. I haven't started decorating or anything yet, so don't mind the plain shower curtain liner! I will post more when its complete!

Holy Ravioli!




So....Parker had Ravioli and Meatballs for lunch yesterday....can you tell? I left the kitchen for a few minutes to throw some laundry in the dryer and fold some clothes and came back to this! I just started cracking up laughing and had to get some pics! Too funny!

Just some cute pics!





Last weekend we went to Galesburg and spent another weekend at Aunt Nancy's! I got some really cute pics of Parker playing in the yard and riding his new 4 wheeler that Aunt Nancy got him! Just love his facial expressions! So cute!

A Weekend in St. Louis!







Three weekends ago, we went to St. Louis on Saturday (Parker stayed all day and night at Grandma & Grandpa Pierson's) to shop and to go to a Cardinal game. We had such a great time in Indianapolis with Dan & Corey that they decided they would come down to Murphysboro for the weekend and go to St. Louis with us. We had a great time (even though the Cardinals lost!). After the game we went to the Big Bang on the landing and spent the rest of the evening there. It was a blast! Thanks Dan & Corey for another great weekend!
