JULY

July was a wonderful month! It started out with the 4th of July, which we spent with Joel's cousins Carrie, her family- Clay and Carley Clayton, Carrie's sister Lucy and her boyfriend Beau, Joel's Aunt Ruth, Lindsay and baby Maddox. (whew I don't think I left anyone out) well maybe except Riley- who was in Hattiesburg spending the week with Nonnnie and BeeBoo. We ate some yummy shrimp, hamburgers, hotdogs, and dessert. After we filled our tummy's we headed out to Freedom Ridge park for some fun fireworks!

All the women- Lucy, Aunt Ruth, Carrie, Me, Lindsay, and C.C.

A monumental step was taken in July as well- Riley's First Haircut!

I know some of you are wondering why she needed her hair cut? Good question and one I answered A LOT! Although I love Riley's curls they can get VERY tangled when she sleeps at night, and that means a VERY grouchy girl when it comes time for mommy to brush it in the mornings. So my solution was to give it a short trim to even out the bottom and also give her some fine layers to give it some bounce. I had been talking to Riley the entire week about going to the hairdresser to get a "haircut" and even though I had my reservations about it, Riley had a BLAST!!! Kristen (my hairdresser) did a fabulous job, she did the magic trick- treat Riley like a princess!!! Riley sat right into the "princess chair" and had a great time!

Barbie, Kristen and Riley!

July also brought Birthday Party's -

Baby Mac's First Birthday!

Meagan's 3rd Birthday!

Caden's 3rd Birthday!

Riley had such a great time at all the Parties!!!

And finally in July the final beach vacation in Destin! Robert's Company-(the company Joel works for) has a family vacation for all it's upper management staff. Luckily Joel's father works for the company too, so it winds up being a great time by all.

JUNE

Since I've been a bad blogger, again. I figured I'd post some pictures from the past 2 months and get everyone up to date! Here's the month of June- we went to Destin for a week with Joel's family and had a WONDERFUL time. It is by far one of my favorite trips, not only do we lay at the beach ALL day but we have great food and fun!
