Apple Festival Kiddie Parade

And the best float goes to... OUR LITTLE APPLES! Today was the Apple Fest Kiddie Parade and we won best float. It turned out beautiful and was made by all of the parents. Our theme was "Little Dreams, Big Possibilities". We had "apples" hanging from the tree dressed up as different occupations; doctor, teacher, soldier, astronaut, etc. And little apples sitting around underneath the tree. It was a miserably hot afternoon, but the kids did wonderful! Tomorrow is the Grand Parade! I love everyone being home and doing the Apple Fest thing. The only thing I hate is how busy my mom is :( But I am pretty used to it and do like her involvement with the festivities. This might be my favorite time of the year!

More Vacation Pics

Okay, A LOT more vacation pics, but I just couldn't choose. So here they are. I love the 2nd one. It is of Cade and my friend Tonya's little sis Cortney. She came along and was a great help with the kids. She really kept Cade and Parker entertained! In the 2nd pic, he is sitting down on the beach just like her. It was too funny. We all had a great time. The boys did their share of golfing and us girls did our share of shopping by picking up matching handbags at the shops downtown and almost buying the entire stock of monogrammed bags from this little kiosk (sp?) at the mall in Knoxville. What an awesome idea! We ordered like 11 bags between Tonya and I, and 3 hours later, they were done. We're thinking of opening one up of our own in C'dale to run during our spare time :) Yeah right. Maybe someday! Anyways, when we got home from the trip, Cade asked about Bobby, Deeba (Tonya), and Cee Cee (Cortney) for several days straight. I don't think he knew what to do after being with them for 9 days!

Fun in the sun at Myrtle Beach!

Just a few pics from my phone and Tonya's camera that I thought I'd post to give everyone a little peek on what we've been up to! We're having a blast and definitely soaking up some sun and relaxation. The boys have played golf a couple of times while the girls and kids hit the pool. More pics to come when we get home! Enjoy!

Cade got this muscle man thing from Parker. Only Cade does it with a big grin and Parker does it with this "I'm gonna whoop some ass" look. It's too funny! If you could only see him do it in person! Tonya will have to post a video someday.
