Good bye, Florida, Hello, TN!

We are HOME!!! Hallelujah! Not that I don't miss Florida or the vacation, it's the drive that gets to me more than anything. NOT to mention that the truck is not the most comfortable place ever. It's actually not comfortable at all. 

 There's another picture of the seashell I got from Braxton. I don't know why but I really love this one. <3 His little hand. The tiny seashell. Innocence. Love. 

I don't have much to really update on but stay tuned because we have some exciting news coming your way in a couple weeks. =) 

Florida Vacation Fun!

We are enjoying our Florida vacation and sadly, it's almost over. :( Today is our last full day here, tomorrow, we head back up to Tennessee. Back to reality. :/ I'm going to definitely miss being on vacation, though. 

Sunday, Braxton, "Grandma Jo", "Papa David", and I went to Saint Pete Beach because Braxton has never been to the beach before and I've wanted to bring him the last 2 years! So, we finally went and let me just say that it is so gorgeous! If we could afford it, I wouldn't mind living on the coast there. ;)

We stayed in a hotel for the night so the next day we could go to the beach again and the pool. Braxton loved the pool because he could jump in and go under and stuff. He wasn't too thrilled about the ocean because it was really salty. But he did like the beach once he got used it. :) He is definitely more of a 'pool boy' which kinda sucks for me but oh well! 

How stinkin beautiful is this? Oh my gosh!! It was gorgeous and I was so excited I got a picture of it. <3 Paradise.

Some mom's get flowers, I got a seashell. <3 It's not a great picture and it's probably because it was a pretty small shell but it was from Braxton so of course, I had to keep it. He is such a sweetheart! 

Why do vacations end so quickly? We've enjoyed our time with daddy while he's been off of work. :/ I'm sure it won't take long for us to get back into our routine but I'm going to miss the vacation. 

Florida vacation.

After enjoying a great Fourth of July weekend with my parents in Chattanooga, we pretty much came home, ran errands, packed up and headed to Florida Monday night. Heath got done with work at 9pm and we left about 11pm for our wonderful journey. With a 2-year-old, it was just a whole ton of fun! ;) 

We figured leaving at night, he would sleep most of the way. Joke was on us! We stopped at like 3am for gas and he was then up until about 6..he fell asleep when we were like a half hour away from the house. Little stinker!! :) But we've been trying to enjoy our time here..

Braxton and I enjoyed the pool the first day we were there..this Florida heat and humidity is going to kill me!! I'm telling you.. 

You cannot tell me this picture doesn't crack you up!! LeAnn's face is hilarious!! He had a blast playing with Le yesterday for a little bit. Braxton has definitely missed his partner in crime. :)

Braxton's other buddy is "uncle" Dalton. He loves him. I love this picture..Braxton is such a lover and you can so tell in this picture. That's probably one of my favorite things about him. I don't know if I 'made' him that way or if that's just how he is. Either way, I love it and him so much!!!
<3 I love how imperfectly perfect he is. 

More to come on our lovely 'vacation'!! 

DIY Projects!

So, as badly as I want to be able to just make money sitting on my butt all day..I just don't see it happening that way. So, I've made a burlap banner which turned out really cute and now I just have to make 2 "happy birthday" ones for my sister for photo shoots. Here's my "practice" one..

Pretty cute, right? I've found an easier way now to do it so I'm excited for when we back to Tennessee and I 'find' time to do the 'happy birthday' ones.. =) They'll be different colors, one will be more girly and one more boy. 

Then, when I was at my mom's, I wanted to try to make these little boy bow ties. I had to have my mom's help because I got a little confused BUT I think they turned out pretty dang cute too. I can't wait to make more with a lot more cuter fabric. These we just got at wal mart. 

I think my next project will be to make little girl hair bows. :) I'm so excited. Let me know if you love or hate them. ;)
