Beach Photos

We had professional photos done on the beach while we were in Florida, but these are just a few I snapped with my phone.

Trip to Florida

This past week our family headed to Navarre Beach for the second year. Gramma Dar, Brad's sister, Emily, her three kids (Elle, Luke, and Tate) and her husband, Bob, were all there. Bob's parents and sister came too. We got quite a bit of rain but not enough to ruin the vacation. The weather was actually quite pleasant. During our week there, we rode jet skis, had family photos done on the beach, shopped in Pensacola, walked to the pier, and of course, played in the sand and water. The kids had a blast and Braylon became obsessed with jet skis. He would have a meltdown every time his turn to ride was over. Wyatt was great the whole time. He would hang out in his stroller on the beach and sleep mostly.

A couple days before we left, poor Gramma Dar had to go to the E.R. after experiencing some excruciating pain in her foot. We all thought she might've got pinched by a crab since it left a puncture, but she actually got stung by a sting ray! Apparently they're bad there this year. We all weren't too eager to get in the water the next day. Other than that, the trip was a lot of fun and hopefully we'll all get to go again next year.

This bbq joint in Mississippi is known for it's delicious bbq. There's even a show on the Food Network about this place. We had lunch there on our way to Florida.

Boys will be boys.

Tate's Second Birthday

We went to Dallas for Tater's birthday this weekend. The party wasn't until Sunday, so we had all day Saturday to hang out and go swimming. The weekend went about as smoothly as can be expected with six kids under the age of seven. Braylon got the nickname of "car chunker" since he gave poor Luke a black eye by throwing a hotwheel. Bedtime was a nightmare every night. Braylon would cry hysterically and say "go see Luke and Tate." He really loves his cousins even though it's not always evident (I.e. Luke's black eye).

Wyatt, on the other hand, was a delight. He slept great, never cried, and loved chillin' in the pool. The kids were so cute with him. Here's some of the funny comments that were made:

Elle: "Why is his hair red like Tate's? Brown-haired people are smarter."
        "Can I be Wyatt's big sister?"
Luke: "Why are his fingers so small?"
           "Why does he have a diaper on?"
           "Can I be his big brother?"

The boys had a blast swimming and playing with their cousins. The party at the Splash Pad was great, too, even though there's no pictures to show it. We all came home exhausted, especially the boys (Wyatt slept from 9:30p.m. to 6 a.m.)

Wyatt's Two Month Checkup

We went in for Wyatt's two-month checkup Wednesday,  and it went pretty well except for the shots. He had three in his little thigh and one oral vaccine. He was already sleepy and hungry since we were there for over an hour. He was all smiles while waiting though. The poor thing didn't know what was comin'. He was pretty cranky the rest of the day (as you can see from the last pic below). The doc said he looks fabulous and is perfectly healthy. Here's his stats:

Height: 24.5 inches -98th percentile
Weight: 13 lbs 11oz -90th percentile
Head: 15.5 inches
