Ft Walton Beach

Life is better by the beach!!
We had such a good time this year on our Beach Vacation. We stayed at a FABULOUS Beach Resort and loved our condo. We went with my Best Friend of 20 years and her family. We did so much in 6 days...and I am ready for next year.

Happy Fathers Day!

So blessed to have the Best Father for my children...Happy Father's Day.

WE LOVE YOU!

This year on Fathers Day we arrived in Ft Walton Beach Florida...on a not so good note. My sweet baby boy was sick the whole drive, fortunately we always have a hotel to stay in at the half way point (La Fayette, LA). However, Ashton was still not much better after a bath and dinner. He was not able to keep ANYTHING down. On Sunday we continued our drive the rest of the way, and made it around 5pm to Florida. Still Ashton is not doing any better...he was worse. At this point..it was time to load up and head to FT Walton Medical Center ER. We were treated wonderful...they took great care of us. Considering Ashton was severely dehydrated and his acid levels were off from throwing up, we had to stay overnight in the Pediatric Unit. With IVof fluids, lots of blood work, xrays and zofran...my baby was finally better and we were able to go to our CondoMonday afternoon AND we had a blast on the rest of our VACATION! I am so proud at how brave, good and strong he was!!

This is his "happy face" on Monday when we were leaving!

It's a HOT one!

Having FUN and keeping cool in 101 degrees!!

Swimming Lessons!

Ava has taken swimming lessons since she was 2o months old. She is a true fish...LOVES the water and is an excellent swimmer. Last year we decided to put her in Private lessons and did the same this year with the same instructor (Elizabeth). As with all BIG water slides there are height restrictions and Ava of course is not quite there...however she did a swim test all by her self for the Head life guard and PAST!! So NOW she is able to go on all the "BIG people" slides. We are so proud of her and hopefully this time next year she will be on a swim team. GO--AVA--GO
