catching up...

I have a lot of catching up to do.  At the end of July, we went to Pensacola for a long weekend.  

We had a blast!!!

  Liam didn't quite love the wet sand, but once we figured that out, he had fun.

 Ashton was all about collecting shells...hours of entertainment!

 Tripp was making some sort of sand concoction - milk shakes maybe?

 why do all kids love outdoor showers?

 We attempted to take some family pictures, but our camera fogged up

Iphone pics!

We also spent some time in Mississippi this July.  We love it there, and the boys do too!

the sun wore him out

Thanks to our friend Caitlin Brewster, Tripp & I were able to go to American Idol Live.  

He was in heaven!!!

We spent this past week in Cashiers, NC with the Upchurch clan.  We didn't take a ton of pictures (hint hint Shannon & Kit), but here are a couple:

 the only family shot with everyone's eyes open - Liam was so over it...can you tell?

The boys are out of school for a couple more weeks, so we have been coming up with as many activities as possible, including long baths:
