Splish splash come have some fun

LONG time no blog....but that's what happens when you go on vacation for 9 nights and your phone takes a swim while there!  It's taken a bit for me to get a phone and all pics/etc. transferred over...so blogging just wasn't happening. 

Anyways, LOTS to catch up!  July was a SUPER busy month for us, but super fun. 

I'm going to start recapping with the boys' FIRST birthday party!  It was such a fun little party... we had a bit of a scare with the weather, but it ended up being just fine!  We had the party at our neighborhood clubhouse and pool, we brought down a slip and slide, baby pool and the bounce house, I'd say the kids had plenty to keep them entertained.  We had a few appetizers and then grilled hot dogs for everybody. 

I can't believe it's come and gone....makes me want to cry.

And now for just a TAD bit of a picture overload....

Favors: a noodle and a water gun.

 First year pics.

 Another FABULOUS creation by my sister in law.

 I loved it:)

 Pool water.......or just blue Gatorade.

 I loved the cute, colorful high chairs.  The blue one is the one from our house in Beaufort, my grandmother bought it when my oldest cousin was born over 40 years ago!  The orange one was Collins'...it was black so I just spray painted it.  We don't use high chairs b/c there isn't enough room in our kitchen for two, so it didn't bother me to spray it orange.  I'm saving it for my grandkids one day:)

 The food.

 My daddy and his twin;-)

 look at those chubby cheeks!

 I couldn't get Grahambo to look at me

 Collins was in heaven with her two older cousins.

 so thankful for friends who take my boys swimming so I could run around and make sure everyone was okay/fed/cook/etc.

 they didn't quite know what to think of the singing....

 Thomas would have eaten the WHOLE cake if we let him...

 Such a fun day celebrating my babies!
