Going private

Our blog is going to go private. That doesn't mean you cant follow along (you meaning our 2 readers...lol) but just let me know if you want me to add you to our approved reader list by emailing me or, if for some strange reason you dont have my email - leave a comment. I'm going to take it private sometime this week but wanted to give a warning so my 2 readers wouldn't be so shocked when it does happen.

Happy Fathers Day!

To all the Pops out there. Make it a good one. I know I am very blessed to have my Dad in my life and Alex is so very lucky to have his.

Girls Weekend

Ahhhh. That's all I can say about this weekend. It was so relaxing. We ran away from all the men folk in our lives and tucked ourselves in the Great Smokies at a "rustic chic" spa resort - Lakeview at Fontana. A+ in my books. We got a 3 bedroom suite and the views from our rooftop deck were amazing.

Need I say more???

We participated in Yoga (a first for me and maybe a last...lol), lounging by the pool, hot stone massages, and last but not least lots of girl time with great friends. Amazingly enough I have no pictures of the trifecta from this trip. Probably because we kind of did our own thing during the day. But it was a great trip and I cant wait to go back.

Hola Amigos!

As most of you know we went to Mexico WITH Alex for our big family vacation this year. Alex did amazing - only a few meltdowns and those were in the lines at security (both ways). But other than that he was great.

So enough with the rambling - Ill get on to what everyone came to see...

Hey Momma!


A year ago I wouldn't dare take a picture in a bathing suit and post it...but I love this picture of us.


The Kids Pool


Remember that baby slide...those are boring now!


This kids pool was amazing. Lots to do for the kids.


Almost time to say Adios!


But not before Alex shows off his slide skills!


Moral of the story -- we had a great time and I would totally take Alex on another trip. In fact I can't imagine not taking him. We already have the wheels turning in our heads about where we want to go next year. We have a ton of memories from Mexico and can't wait to make more wherever our next Adventure with Alexander takes us.

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right...

Here Alex is...dancing. Must watch video. He really gets into it about 41 seconds in...


Allison this is for you -- tell your Mom I hope she enjoys it!

Duck, Duck, GOOSE!

I've been quacked by Charlotte Mommies for Kindermourn. Its a fundraiser for Kindermourn by Charlotte Mommies, a group I'm involved in, and basically someone donates money to have your house 'quacked' and then the 'quackers' show up and do this....

This is all to raise money and awareness for Kindermourn and its upcoming annual Duck Race fundraiser. We will be attending the race in honor of our friends who know all to well what Kindermourn is all about and in memory of their sweet angels....Megan Grace and Wyatt. To learn more about Kindermourn check out their website here.

Easter Part Two!

The beach - the highlight of Alex's trip. He loves loves loves the water - even if it feels like an ice bath. And...it was just that.
