Summer Has Come . . . and Gone!

I have been such a terrible blogger. Where do you make the time to keep up with it all? I just don't know. Something's got to give, and usually, it's blogging for me ;)


Anyway, things in ole' Tampa are going great. We've had a fabulous summer. I know Scott is sad to see it go (since he hasn't had a day of work in a couple months- lucky dog) but for those of us who must work year round, it will be kind of nice to get back on the old schedule. I'm glad Scott has gotten to spend some QT with Austin though, they are getting pretty tight! Speaking of Austin (you knew it was coming) . . . he is SO much fun . . . and so stinkin' adorable!!! He's 15 months and starting to talk and really imitate the things we do, it's hysterical. Seriously, he's just about our only entertainment these days (besides Jax, of course).
Here's a little recap of some of our best summer moments through a few pics.

Thanks Papa & Sunny for the fun splash mat. It may look like he stayed put on this thing and played so content, but that is not the case. I spent about 30 minutes chasing him around the yard and sitting him back down on the mat, and then we went inside. He's a BUSY BODY for sure!

Daddy's hat, paci, phone, golf club, watching Baby Einstein . . . good to go.


Austin discovered Jackson's spider man rain boots and he's obsessed! Doesn't matter what he's wearing, if he sees the boots, he's got to have them on!

Hanging at the house with Nay-Nay.

This is from my 10 year high school reunion. What a blast! It was so much fun to see all our old friends and get to spend an entire weekend together!



I just love this picture- it's also from the reunion weekend. Isn't it so pretty? Two beautiful gals with lil' Austin, what more could he ask for???


Getting some love from Jax.




Ever heard of the Blue Ranger? Well, Jackson met him at MGM . . . definitely the highlight of Jackson's day.



Spending some time with MiMi and Granddaddy.


We also got to spend a couple days with Papa, Sunny and Chance in Orlando at Universal and had such a blast! I didn't take any pix though :( The only thing that could have made our summer complete would have been to see Heather & Joe and Alan, Luann & Olivia- We miss them SO SO much!!!! Alan just got a new job (congrats!) - Luann just started her third year of med school and as for little Olivia . . . she's not so little anymore. . . she's starting KINDERGARTEN this year!! I'm going to do a blog with pix of them soon so stay tuned.

Last, but definitely not least . . . this pic takes the cake . . . ACB trying to use goggles for the first time. Yes, his eyes are crossed. Not his best look, but I can't look at it without cracking up! This is from the 4th of July.
