Happy Memorial Day!!

I took the kiddos to our local Memorial Day service today and it was FANTASTIC!! Will post more later but wanted to say Thank You to all of our service men and women and send many prayers to them and their families. Thank you for all that you do to keep us safe.........

My sweet sweet girl................She loves PINK and she loves SHOES...........She calls yellow jackets "little" jackets and lemonade "lemalade" and we may not ever get her off the new tire swing.........

sweet...............

Great times and even better friends................

Ok, so we might be a little different from the old days............sure, I have parts that are located in a different spot than they used to be..............some various lines that I wish would disappear............And oh how I would kill for that body I used to have (that I complained about!)..........But friends, mixed with the beach, great food and great wine??? You just can't beat that!!

This was a local favorite spot called Dewey Destins...........And only at the beach can you wait in a line, outside, order your food in a shack, eat at a picnic table, potty in a "upscale" port o potty AND LOVE IT!!

And with this motto......Who wouldn't love it!!

Andee and her husband just recently purchased a little one bedroom condo, across from the beach and it was perfect...........Believe it or not, but six women and one bathroom really wasn't so bad! Especially when we were not rushing to feed hungry kids at a crowded restaurant, we just took our time...........
Here we are at Harbour Docks and I think this was my favorite place we ate!!


On saturday, I bet we had 30 or more stingrays swim up and down the beach all day....it was amazing, we even saw a couple sea turtles...........I have never seen that much wildlife (other than jelly fish) around the shore like that............Shall we thank BP for that??? who knows! We packed our Dawn soap but fortunately no oily residue yet on those pretty white beaches!!
Now, here is when it pays to be the photographer....................



Yep, that's me in the hat.........completely out of "bathing suit" shot with the old camera!!

I can't remember the name of the restaurant for our last night but it was great too!! And we DID see the Easter bunny.........Remember Santa? Yep, we saw the Easter bunny! Where's the proof? well.........I forgot to take a picture but our waiter WAS wearing bunny ears!!

We are all sorority sisters from UGA and we've been doing this trip on and off for years.........It's so great to have friends that you literally may not talk to for years......but you can just pick up where you left off........I am so blessed that they keep this tradition going and I get to tag along!! It truly is good for my soul................

Prepare yourself for a good old laugh!!

Beach Bound...............

Going to the beach this weekend with girlfriends............Can't wait!!

Last year we saw SANTA CLAUS!! Wonder what OR who is in store for us this year!!

Check in with you all next week! Have a great weekend........................

People actually get paid for this....................

Huggies Little Movers Jeans Collection

That's right........an entire marketing department at Huggies sat down for "brainstorming" and came up with DENIM DIAPERS..............Diapers that look like Jeans..................Now, I ask myself "Are they marketing this up north?" Oh, I highly doubt it...................

SERIOUSLY...........I am cracking up just thinking about that DENIM DIAPERS started as someone's AHA moment and is now actually sitting on the shelves at Target.............

My friend Alex said ..............."And the redneck rejoicing........it's no longer dirty naked redneck baby......Now they can be OH SO HIP in their baby jean shorts........cruisin!! "


Oh don't worry, I wouldn't even THINK about making a comment about a certain jean short lovin' SEC fan rushing to the closest store, giddy with excitement!!! Never would I even imply that ONE SEC team would love these more than ANOTHER SEC team................That just wouldn't be nice!

The Mama's and The Papa's.................

So, Friday night The Mama's took the girls to see Mary Poppins at The Fox Theater!! Seated 12 rows back from Ms. Poppins herself was AMAZING.....................The twinkle in their eyes will be a memory I will cherish forever!! The show was FANTASTIC and all the performers were truly captivating....................Especially when Mary Poppins flew right over our heads...........The girls are still talking about it!!



The show didn't start till 8pm so needless to say, our Poppins Party Animals were Pooped!!

While we were at the Theater, The Papa's took in a baseball game!! GO BRAVES! So, the hubby took Big Papa to his first braves game and who better to go with than his very best girl...........I think he and MR had a blast in the kid zone area!!






And not to be outdone by his sister, he too wore himself FLAT OUT!!

Do you know what Mustard, Vinegar & Tea bags all have in common??

ME!

I feel like a sub sandwich!! So, I sat outside for LESS THAN AN HOUR yesterday on my lunch break and I AM FRIED!! That's right, SUNBURNED............Awful!!

So I google "sunburn remedies" and I come up with this ..................

Mustard............let dry..............Vinegar.............let air dry.............Tea bags..................soak in them..........

surprisingly, soothing...........in a Subway sort of way..................We'll see!

Super Super SUPPER Club!!

Always figured I'd live in a great house, perfect for entertaining, in a great neighborhood with great friends!! And I'd say more or less ...........I've got it!! I DO have a great neighborhood and I DO have great friends and our patio IS perfect for entertaining!!

So, this past Saturday night our SUPPER CLUB finally got together, schedules are tough, and enjoyed a fantastic evening outside on our patio..................





Our neighbors, Kandice & Greg and baby Kenley were the first to arrive. And then neighbors Kristin & Scott with Kate & Charlie followed soon after bring back Emme from Kate's princess birthday party. Unfortunately, my little princess was a little under the weather. Poor thing missed most of the princess party and ALL of our dinner party....

A little while later, our last guest to arrive, Lane & baby Olivia joined us!! Our final Supper Club family, The Harvey's, missed this event but will hopefully be at the next one!!

Boys had a blast........................
both young and old!!




And what better way to end the evening, but by making SMORES..............Great times, Great friends.........................
