Orange Beach 2008

Tonight we got home from the beach. We had a great time!! We had perfect weather and a relaxing vacation. Brock really liked playing in the pool. He was not a very big fan of the beach but spent lots of time in the water at the pool. We are tired tonight but wanted to share some pictures with you from our trip. Enjoy!!

Off to the Beach

We are leaving tomorrow for the Beach....yeah!!!! We are so excited! I will not be posting for a week so I will have pictures and stories to post when we return. Have a great weekend and next week!!

Fun in the Pool

It is a beautiful day outside today so I decided that Brock and I would go out and play before it got too hot. Brock got to play in his little pool for the first time. Granna ordered this pool and I finally decided to blow it up and let Brock play. As I have mentioned before, Brock loves to play outside. He was a little hesitant at first to get in the water but then we had a blast! He got to play in his little pool at Pop & Dinah's two weeks ago and he really liked that. Hopefully all this playing in the water/pool will help next week at the beach. Enjoy the pictures below of the little man having fun!

Happy Father's Day

We just wanted to wish all our Father's a wonderful Father's Day. We are so thankful for all of our Father's and all they do for us. We are truly blessed! We hope that you all have a wonderful day.

Happy Father's Day Dad!

I love you, Brock

Family

Brad and I are both very blessed to have such wonderful families. We hope that we can be great parents to Brock the way that our parents have been to us. We are so thankful that Brock has great aunts, uncles, cousins, and great grandparents to love him as well as his grandparents. Below are pictures of our family members. We just wanted you to meet them in case you do not know them. Take time each day to thank God for your families!

Where are my shoes?

Brock loves shoes! I posted a while back about Brock going to his drawer and getting out his shoes. This is when his love for shoes started. Every time he hears someone say "outside", he runs and gets his shoes. When you say "Let's go", he goes and get his shoes. Lately, his love for shoes has moved to other people's shoes. He tries so hard to put them on. Most of the time he works so hard and he does get them on. He loves to walk around in them. He often trips and falls but they does not matter to him. Here are some pictures of him wearing my flip flops. He wore them all over the house yesterday and he cried when I put them up. He is such a crazy little kid!

Happy Monday! We hope that you had a great weekend. This weekend Brad and I celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary. It does not seem like it has already been 6 years. We started dating in October of 1998. So we have almost been together 10 years. Time flies when you are having fun!

Nothing else much has been going on. Here are some latest pictures of what Brock is doing. Have a great week!


Brock loves to walk his little "doggie". We call him Buddy since that is the name of our dog and it is a word that Brock knows. He runs around with this little dog and he thinks that "Buddy" is chasing him. It is so funny!

Brock has started giving hugs and kisses when we get ready to leave someones house. Here he is giving his Granna a hug. He has also started blowing kisses. He really likes to copy what you are doing. He claps when someone is clapping, he mimics any noise that he hears and most of all he always wants to do what you are doing. We can tell that he is learning everything that he sees.

Here Brock is talking on Brad's blackberry. Anything that even resembles a phone, he puts to his ear and "talks" on it. This must be something that all kids like to do. I remember our nephew Wilson doing this also. So if you have time. "give Brock a call".

Bath Time

One of Brock's favorite things to do is to take a bath. He loves to play in the tub with all his toys. He has "Bathketball", "Brock the Croc", Sesame Street toys and ducks. His newest thing is to try and drink the water coming out of the faucet. Here are some pics of the little man right after his bath. Isn't he so cute!
