Afternoon at Dauphin Island

After this yummy lunch yesterday..

and, an awesome afternoon nap.

We decided to go watch the sunset at the beach.

It was quiet, cool, and not too crowded - aka PERFECT!
We took 117 pictures, mainly of Josh & Kaidence. I am working on his Father's Day gift :)

Here are a few of my favorites...

I dont think they're too bad for a Sony Cyber-shot :)
Hopefully, I will get a point and shot one day so I can take real pictures.

My First Mother's Day

"What did my hands do before they held this child?

What id I think about, worry about, dream about?

What things touched my heart before I saw this child's smile,

before I heard this child's cry,

before I felt this incredible bond?
Who was I before I became this child's mother?
Somehow, now, I can't remember."

This was on the card my MIL & FIL sent me for Mother's Day!

I love it!

It's so true, I really don't remember life before being Kaidence's Mommy!
I know she is only 7 months old - but, my life has changed so, so much and I am so, so thankful!

I have had a wonderful Mother's Day {weekend!}

Josh has done so much for me, I am so thankful for my precious, precious husband and baby girl!
We have been to Dauphin Island to the beach, had dinner at Red Lobster's, and today he fixed me breakfast.

He & Kaidence bought me the Lady Antebellum CD and a new hibiscus tree for my gifts!
He is now grilling some yummy steaks and ribs for lunch & dinner.
We are going to enjoy a great lunch, watch movies, and just spend time together today! :)

And just for fun, this was Mother's Day last year.

I was 4 or 5 months pregnant.

I am glad I have my precious girl here with me this year, instead of taking awkward tummy pictures...

how I really felt about all the pictures...HA!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

to all you wonderful Mommy's out there!

Our Weekend

Friday night was Josh's 14th day, so he was off work. We stayed around the house most of the day.

{before we headed out for the day}
That afternoon we headed to Bass Pro so he could spend his giftcard my sister gave him for his BDAY!

We were in the for what seemed like FOREVER! He wants to make sure he gets just the right things!HA!

{the hat says 'MY FIRST FISHING HAT' - I'm thinking about getting it because it was too cute and would be perfect for when we go with Josh saltwater fishing!}

After we left Bass Pro, we met our Pastor & family at Chili's!

Then, headed to their house to have rootbeer floats and watch Alvin & The Chipmunks
Saturday morning Josh got up and fixed up some breakfast and we layed around for a little while.

Then, we went grocery shopping.

My mom & sister was at our house when we got back!
Us girls headed to HobLob, Sonic, and Burlington Coat Factor for a little shopping.

We got back home and Josh cooked up some low boil{shrimp,Conecuh sausage,onions,and red potatoes}
It was DELISH!!!
We had to pick up my sister's fiance around 9 that night, so K stayed her with my mom because it was way past her bedtime!

Sunday, we went to church and then headed home to eat lunch.
We ate fast so we could head to Dauphin Island!
Josh & Blakely went saltwater fishing and us girls just chilled on the beach!

She didn't stay in the water too long because it is still too cold!

Instead, she hung out in her pool ... with no water! HA!

When we got home Nana, Aunt Heather, & Blakeley headed back home and we headed to Church!

Today, Josh was back on dayshift-PRAISE THE LORD!
I cleaned up, while trying to keep Kaidence entertained.

Josh is home from work giving Kaidence her bath, and we're about to eat dinner and watch TV!
