August 2011

Wow. It's been way. way too long since I've last posted anything on our family blog. Life has been so full lately! Let me catch up a bit, here. Below are some pictures of Gray's very first beach trip from this past August 2011!! We shared these memories with my family at Assateague.

my blue-eyed boy with his awesome beach hair

sandy hands :)

he LOVED the pool that daddy set up for him on the beach.

she would not let go of the boogie board the entire time.

baby boy taking a much-needed nap in the shade with daddy.
he's such an amazing dad.

me, my parents, and their grandbabies :)

i couldn't get enough of the many wild horses we saw there.
i think this foal would have let me pet her if i got close enough.

asdfadsfs I LOVE THIS picture... this is before his teeth came in!

Twenty-Eight

I don't know why I still have it in my head that my birthday should be a big deal. I remember when I was younger, I would be stunned if even a stranger did not know what very important day July 17 was. ...You mean YOU don't KNOW that it's my birthday?! Smh. 

This year we celebrated with a bit of Georgetown shopping. Originally the plan was that just Jonf and I would go, but we made the decision to bring our kids with us.

It's just simply not as fun eating delicious Georgetown Cupcakes without my girl,

or without getting snuggles from my boy.

The rest of my birthday present came in the form of a Keith Urban Concert

...which was last night. :)

The best fun I've had in a long time.

I've wanted to go to his concert for years, and this year (with some major hints from yours truly) Jonf thought it would be fun to surprise me with 2 tickets to see him. Our seats were awesome.
SO! MUCH! FUN!

...And... I touched his sweatiness.

Thanks for making this year's birthday such a special one, Bubs. I had a blast with you... and Keith. :)
