Mama Birthday!

This weekend we celebrated Kirsten's birthday, which was a lot of fun.  Fortunately we had some great weather too, so we ended up going up to Whidbey Island on Saturday evening to relax at a friend's house there until Monday morning.  The girls had a ball and had such fun roaming around at low tide and getting dirtier than they've ever been.  I know this is a plethora of pictures, but again it was hard to choose, and I assure you these are distilled down from well over a thousand shots...  Enjoy!

Here's a photo a friend got of me dancing with Annabelle at the wedding.  The girls loved the band and were both tearing up the dance floor with us!

Beach Weekend!

This weekend, Kirsten and I took the girls down to the Gulf Coast for the wedding of some great friends.  We flew into Gulfport, MS Thursday night, and on Friday morning we returned to Bay St. Louis, MS.  We went to the church where Kirsten and I first met, and just seeing the town and the whole area brought back a rush of memories for both of us.  The girls had a ball being barefoot and in dresses all weekend long.  Friday afternoon, we made our way over to Fairhope, AL for the wedding festivities.  It was a great weekend.  The girls were not as excited about the pool or the beach and water there as we thought they might be, but they seemed to just love seeing the sun and feeling so warm.  With the difference in time zone, they got to stay up pretty late too, so we had fun dancing at the wedding reception Saturday night.  Here are a bunch of shots from the weekend.  I wasn't able to get as many shots as I would have liked because the girls were cruising around so much it was nearly impossible to have a camera in one hand!

Cuttin' Grass

Just a few quick shots from another fun grass-cutting adventure last week at a friend's house...

Mother's Day

We had a big Mother's Day feast on Sunday and lots of family from Kirsten's Mom's side came over to celebrate.  We had a great time, and here are a handful of shots from the day.  The girls were delighted with all the extra attention and love.
