Pensacola: Captured


We really had such a great time on our vacation. We LOVE the Gulf, but this was our first trip to Pensacola, and it definitely made a lasting impression.


Even after 8 days of fun in the sun, we could have stayed longer! Here are some beautiful moments...

A Thousand Words Thursday

Here are some pics from our Florida vacation. These were taken the first night, while Sam and Neil were flying a kite. Luke found this shovel stuck in the sand and had a ball pushing/carrying it all over the beach.

I couldn't resist this boy and his shovel!

I Heart Faces



This week's theme at I Faces is "Let's Hear it for the Boys!" I had a very difficult time picking just one photo to enter, but I thought this one definitely summed up my boys. They are both 100MPH all the time, and I actually have to force them to take a break, eat, potty, etc.

Our beach vacation last week was wonderful and there was a ton of pool and beach time involved. (I actually thought they might grow fins at one point.) Still, I had to force Sam to get out of the water A LOT and this pic captures his response every time!

I call this his "Poo-Poo-Face"...

Since it's nearly Father's Day, I wanted to post this sweet capture of Luke and his Da-Da at our neighborhood pool. It will also be displayed at our church this Sunday morning, which Da-Da knows nothing about. (Teehee!)

They are both so handsome and fun, and really love me. And, that makes ME smile really big!

I Heart Faces



This weeks' theme on I ♥ Faces, is "Sepia Toned".

I have quite a few because we all know how fun sepia is, but this is definitely a favorite. Sam was 2-years old and was heading to a Pirates and Princesses party. He was so excited. Can you tell???

And, we're off...

We are officially on vacation! Pensacola, Florida HERE WE COME!!

I will have my laptop so I'll still be around, but probably won't be visiting/commenting as much as usual. (I'm sure you understand!) Plus, I have scheduled some posts (like this one) b/c I just can't miss out on the weekly fun.

In the meantime, here are a couple cute captures of my boys as they helped me pack...





And, I wanted to show you this super cute scrapbook that I won on I Tucker. Yes...it's a boyish flip-flop. Love it! (Perfect timing, huh?!?)


If you aren't familiar with sweet little Tucker, please click over to read his story. He has major heart surgery coming up very soon.

My sweet, sweet baby boy is now 15 months old! Here is Luke's Top 5:

1. He's got tan arms, legs and head, but his belly is still white. (See pic.)
2. He has 12+ teeth. (A couple are trying to bust through as I type.)
3. He can say about 10 words, and just recently added Barney.
4. He can melt my heart with one of his super-sloppy kisses.
5. He is so, so, so much fun in our backyard.

Sam's "friend", sprayed gently with water because it was really hot.

I'm so behind...

...on my awards. And, it's not because I don't appreciate them!

We have been so busy since school got out for Sam (beginning of May!) and now we are getting ready to head to the beach for a week. Anyways, I apologize to the sweet ladies that gave me these awards and now I am passing them on.



First, I received this "Over the Top" award from Chris. She is great and chats with me from the Philippines. (How cool is that???) Oh, and she loves photography, which makes me love her even more!



This very girlie "Awe-Summm" award came to me from April. She is pretty darn awe-summm herself, so I am quite honored to receive it. Make sure you click over to see her new horse, by the way!



And, finally, I got this sweet little award from a new blog friend, Jennifer. She lives in a male-dominated home, too, and she loves it. (I love it, too, in case you wondered.)


Since, I am so far behind with this, I'm passing each of these on to any and all of YOU. (Please feel free to click back and see the official "rules" for each award.) Congratulations!

Sam is so unbelievably creative. Really. I mean...I'm a true creative-thinker, and he still blows me away sometimes. Here is a great example.

This is his yard man get-up. He "mows" the lawn and then uses his backpack blower to get rid of any stray clippings. He made the blower out of an old backpack and a tube from his dad's golf bag.

And, yes. The goggles are my favorite part!
