Family Reunion

Hi everyone!

I went to our Family Reunion in Fairhope, AL June 9-11 and had a great time! Wow - it's great to have such a wonderful family - my family has more people than I ever knew :)

When we got to my cousins Cori and Lynn Yonge's house on Friday night - I made a beeline for the chip and dip! I asked someone to pull me up a chair, and I plopped down and went to town! I was careful not to let my eyelashes get dip on them....



My Mama went shopping with G-Daddy and Grammy in downtown Fairhope and they decided to get some ice cream! Well, they went to the ice cream shop and there was a little man that looked just like my G-Daddy! :)



Grammy took me down the pier at Mobile Bay and we walked out on the ocean! I wuv you, Grammy!



Here is my Mama with her Daddy.....



Here I am with my cousin Clayton Doll! Mama tells me that Clayton is a very special little boy because after Mama met him when he was a baby, she decided it was time to go and adopt ME!!!! :)



We went to Julwin's restaurant on Sunday for breakfast - it was my Daddy's birthday! Grammy cut my pancakes - Thanks Grammy!



Spiderman with GET YOU!!!!! :)



Fairhope is a pretty town on Mobile Bay!



I had fun at the Family Reunion!

Mama and Daddy went to Mexico!

Here are some pictures from my Mama and Daddy's trip to Mexico! They flew into Cancun and then went to the Iberostar Pariaso Beach resort. Mama earned the trip with her company Once Upon a Family and they had a great time! Daddy got to go scuba diving which is something he has wanted to do for a long time. Mama and her friend Jeni went Parasailing! She said she could look down and see Daddy scuba diving in the ocean, but I didn't believe her because I'm a smart boy! :) They went snorkeling and got to ride on a catamaran in the ocean. The resort was very beautiful and relaxing for them....and whenever they go back I hope they will take me! :)

SEA CREATURES!!!

Guess what my Mama got to do!!! She got to see a SHARK!!!!!! AND A WHALE!!!! AND STINGRAYS!!!!!! AND SHE FOUND NEMO!!!!!! And best of all she bought me a Shark Shirt from the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta where she got to visit on Tuesday, April 25. She went with a group of ladies from our bank. She got an invitation to go because the coordinator was our neighbor, Mrs. Linda. And, of course it helped that we are customers of the bank that sponsored the trip! She said that if we kept our money in a shoebox under the bed, she couldn't have gone. So, it always pays to use a bank. Besides, you get a free sucker when you drive up to wave at the ladies in the window.

She said it was a very nice trip and they rode a big bus and had a lovely luncheon and got all kinds of treats. Well, that all sounds really neat but I know her favorite part was seeing the SHARK! That would have been my favorite part! A huge whale shark swam right over her head in a big glass tunnel she got to walk through. Well, Mama, I know you are going to take me soon, right??? Thanks for scoping it out for me.


HAVE YOU EVER HAD A WHALE SHARK SWIM OVER YOUR HEAD????

MY MAMA FOUND NEMO!!!!!!! AND HIS DAD MARLIN TOO!!!!!!!!



WOOOOOOOOOO! A HAMMERHEAD!!!



STINGRAYS SWAM OVER HER HEAD!

A visit to St.Simon's Island

Hello friends!

We took a fun trip to St. Simons Island, GA April 20-21. My Daddy had a meeting there (YEA DADDY!) and we stayed at the King and Prince Beach Resort overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It was beautiful! I loved playing in the pool and hanging out with Mama and some nice people we met. Then later that morning we headed over to see our our friends John Catherine and Julia Rowan - you can walk to the beach from their house! It is so much fun. Julia and I played and I tried to sneak a kiss as you will see. We ate at a fun pizza place that night and then walked down to the pier and I got to swing and look at the beach at the same time!!!

The next morning Mama walked on the beach by herself - I have no idea why she didn't want to take me. What could be more fun than taking me with her? Well, anyway, she caught a pretty sunrise on the beach. Mrs. Catherine took Mama for a visit to the beautiful newly renovated Cloister at Sea Island - WOW! It was beautiful, she said. She took a picture of hte table where President George Bush and the world leaders sat when the G8 Summit was held there two years ago.

Here are some pictures from our trip!

A Visit to a State Park

On Monday, Mama and I went with Daddy to George T. Bagby State Park which is on the GA/AL border. We ate lunch outside at the lodge, overlooking Lake Walter F. George. Then while Daddy was in his meeting, Mama and I played on the big playground and I got to walk along the beach at the lake and play with all the shells. It was a fun trip :)

Easter Morning!

WOW! Easter is fun - we left some carrots out for the Easter Bunny last night and he came to see me! I had a basket full of goodies - like snakes, bugs, a plastic alligator - things like that :) It was great - I had so much fun playing with them that I didn't want to hunt the eggs he hid for me in the front yard. I couldn't care less about hunting eggs! HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Easter Egg Hunt and Lunch with the Bunny!

On Saturday, April 15, we went to a very nice Easter Egg hunt and lunch with the Bunny! The Easter Bunny brought Dora the Explorer (one of my new favorites!) and Minnie Mouse with him! I had so much fun dancing with them and holding their hands. I seemed to enjoy them more than any other boy or girl! I couldn't care less about hunting for eggs - I usually just find one and eat the candy inside, and that's enough for me!

A visit from G-Daddy and Grammy

Last weekend I had a special visit from my G-Daddy and Grammy! We had such a great time together and they brought me a BATMAN OUTFIT! WOW! They played with me and read with me and it made me very happy. We took them to the Georgia Agrirama here in Tifton - it is an 1880's settlement with real live people and everything! They re-enact what it was like to live long ago. They had a Folklife Festival, and one highlight was the Turpentine exhibit. We all enjoyed seeing G-Daddy relive his memories working in the Turpentine industry to put himself through college. He even made a donation of a tree stump that had been used to get turpentine years ago. We got to ride the train, eat ice cream at the country store, see the sawmill in operation, and Mama even churned butter! WHEW! That is hard work. I'm glad mine comes from the refrigerator!
