The girls in their matching dresses at church. We don't do matching often due to their age difference so I wanted to catch this moment!

Jack lost his front tooth in June! I was sad, he has such perfect little baby teeth!

Tricia and Cristy's visit...

My college girlfriends, Tricia and Cristy, drove down from TN with their kids. We did the beach, pool and downtown Beaufort. The kids had the run of the upstairs which worked out well, lots of dancing, wii and ping pong while we had some "grown up parties" on the porch! Lock and Claire play in the rain

Jack and Macy

Moss and Jack at the pool

We called Lock and Claire "grandmom and granddad" all week. Claire referred to Lock as "my friend" and would not let him out of her sight

Fun night out without the kiddos... babysitter brought her brother, had her hands full with 7 kids!

July 4th weekend in TN

Chris, my niece Rebecca and her boyfriend Mike gearing up to raft the ocoee. During our long July 4th weekend, Chris and I got the opportunity to go whitewater rafting with my family. Mom kept the kiddos!

I love being in my hometown for July 4th, there is something about those small town festivals!

Claire and Chris enjoy the train

We spent the afternoon at my favorite spot as a child at the river. Now this is a favorite of my kids as well. My dad would take me here and we called it "our place".

Jack had a blast at golf camp which was offered in our neighborhood and very convenient. The last day he got to play 9 holes with his dad which was exciting for him to show off his new skills.
