Show me that mean face!!!

Alex is our third child and girl. After having two boys you know that she has to be a little firecracker to keep up with her brothers. And boy is she!!! She may look innocent in all of these photos, but she has a temper. If she gets mad, you can rest assured you are going to get the eat $%^& look. Now we can say "Show me your mean face." and this is what we get.

Luke's 3rd Birthday (Sept 20th)

Saturday was Luke's 3rd birthday. We did not have much planned this year. Luke and Alex are having a party together in October. These are the photos that were taken at our house on Saturday. Luke was so excited to get his gifts from us.

Luke is about to open his gift and Alex is hovering to see what is going on. She is probably wondering what she is getting!

Luke has just opened his game and Kade is already trying to "make a deal" so he can get some play time.

This is what our house is really like on a daily basis. Luke and Alex fighting over something. Here they are both trying to hold onto his new toy

Guess who lost!!!

While we were on vacation Luke loved playing golf so what would the perfect gift be.....Gator Golf. He loved it. Actually all the kids loved it!

On Saturday night we meet some of my family for dinner. On Friday the 19th was our Papa Gene's 75th birthday and Luke's 3rd birthday on the 20th. We headed over to Papadeaux's for dinner and cake. Here are the two birthday boys.

Luke we are so blessed to have you! We love you!!!

A Late Summer Vacation!!!

September is now our favorite month to vacation at the beach. Not only are the rates so much cheaper, but there was no one there. We almost had the place to ourselves then Saturday came and everyone arrived for the weekend. We had a great time! We headed to Panama City Beach. Hurricane Ike made things a little crazy. The wind was blowing 25+mph. On Thursday and Friday you could not even walk on the beach because the waves were all the way up to the steps down to the sand. The news reported that waves in the area were 12-16ft! YIKES!!! On Saturday you were able to go back to the beach but the waves were still rough. I had so many pics to post that I just choose to do a slide show. Hope you enjoy!
