Orange Beach 2014 Part 1: The Trip Down & More

We left bright and early Monday morning.

We went by Pop's "home office" in Richland, MS on our way.

As soon as we got to the hotel we ate and then went out to the beach!

The kids love it here!

The view from our balcony

We love it here too!

Crab hunting!

Carlie was looking

I have no idea!!

We finally made it to the beach!! We took a mini beach trip last year, and obviously we loved it, so we planned a little better one this year. Orange Beach, AL was the destination for this year. I never realized how much farther it was than Biloxi! After a little bit of a detour (we got lost in Mobile), we made in and Carl was still in one piece and tobacco free!!

FUN, FUN, Family Times :)

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for another Friday favorites.

And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch his wings. He has a re-directed path now and I pray e

This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004. I just love it when a plan comes together. A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible. That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river. Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski. It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't say we went swi

Back To School Photo Shoot: The Girls

The girls were of course more than eager to do their pictures, T however, was not. That is why we still haven't done it yet! Hmmm....maybe a bribe would work!
