I may not be around much the next few days. My husband and my dad are removing all of our carpet and installing new flooring. I’m so excited to finally get this done but as of right now, our house is a MESS and I have no idea where I have stored stashed most of our belongings. I’m taking the kids to my Mom’s house until most of the work is done. I’ll be back next week! Love y’all!

Beach Trip 2014
Hello, friends!!!
Sorry for my long absence. We have been out of town on our annual beach vacation for the last week or so. We had the BEST time! Each year things get a bit easier when traveling with our kids and this year was the best yet.
We:
Celebrated Fathers Day with breakfast on the front deck…
Lounged by the pool and practiced our swimming skills,
Watched the water…
Hunted for shells…
Played in the Ocean with Daddy…
Made new friends…
Tried to take family pictures…
Went to the Aquarium…
Flew our kites…
Watched fireworks…
Had a great date night once Grammie and Pop Pop came down…
Walked on the pier…
Napped…
Relaxed…
I also had one of these:
It had probably been six months or so since I’ve had my favorite soft drink- a Cheerwine. Before I gave up drinking soft drinks, Cheerwine was my all-time FAVORITE. Marcus went and got me one as a surprise one day on the beach. I even shared it with my kids- they don’t hardly ever get soft drinks and they NEVER have caffeinated ones, so Mack LOVED every sip.
We pretty much ate our normal breakfast and lunch foods while there

Salads with chicken |
For snacks we packed a lot of our normal ones: fruits, nuts, protein bars, veggies, beef jerky, etc.
For supper, we ate out most nights and enjoyed ourselves. I can’t tell you that I stayed on track, but I can tell you that I’m back on track NOW.
We had a wonderful week and I can’t wait to go back again. It’s always a bit sad when vacation is over, but we are blessed to have so many people that we love to come home to.
Hope you all had a great week!
I am *hoping* to get some new recipes posted this week and to be more active here again soon. Love y’all. Praying for you and cheering you on!!!
