We did it. He did it. Makgill has completed the first grade, homeschool style. I am so unbelievably proud of my little man. He has worked so hard and I am shocked at the amount of work he has done this year. He has hated some of it, and honestly so have I. But most...
has been a little bit crazy. A good kind of crazy, but still…CRAZY. I’m finding myself saying that a lot lately. A non-nutso week would be quite welcome. However…I love this week every year. LOVE. IT. Good things happen this week. Tomorrow Collin and I will celebrate eleven years of marriage. ELEVEN. That sounds like...
I can’t believe that the sweet little chunky baby who we curled up in his daddy’s toy truck during his newborn session is now 18 months old!! And has a baby sibling on the way! Remember this? Oh my Gracious, newborn Rutledge was ADORABLE. He had great “squish factor” as my friend Michelle says. Guess...
Remember a few weeks back when I told you that we were going tent camping at Disney in May? Well, Collin decided that he really didn’t think I was a tent camping kind of girl. We have been researching and talking about getting a camper since the first of the year. We’ve looked at about...
Y’all!! I am SO Excited!!! I just convinced Collin to change our two night reservations at Disney to…A CAMPSITE!!! And not just any campsite. Oh, No. We’re going to be roughing it. We are staying in a TENT! Have I ever stayed in a tent? NO. Do I enjoy bugs and heat? Not so much....
i am so glad y’all are enjoying camping so much!!! when did CB’s hair get so long?? my goodness it’s gorgeous!
Gillian, it was you and Dana talking about camping on facebook that got me interested in the whole idea! We love it so much! So, thank you for planting the idea in my head. 😉 We should do a weekend trip sometime! And, I know! Her hair is crazy. To think she spent the first two and a half years of her life as a baldy!
Here’s what we do to combat the dirty feet while camping – baby wipes. I can not stand dirty feet in a bed so before bed every night, we wipe feet off with a baby wipe. We love camping, but have sadly outgrown our pop-up.
Her curls! Oh man, not good for that, “I give up on the thought of a curly haired little girl and will just stop at three straight haired little boys…” resolve.
Have you guys seen this campground?? We never even knew it existed til our last time home. It seems like the perfect campground for kiddos: http://www.pirateland.com/
Tamara, i didn’t know that y’all camp! We should plan a trip sometime! I’m all about camping with friends. =) And we are doing the baby wipe thing, but it still doesn’t seem to be working. Especially on Mak. That boy’s feet are STANK.
Chrissy, we did a session at Pirateland this weekend! It looked like a really fun place and we definitely want to check it out. Actually, Hope S has a place there and they go all the time. Where is y’alls RV now? Do you ever use it anymore?
Oh, and I definitely think you should go for the curly-headed girl. Because what’s the worst that could happen? Another straight-haired boy? You know that wouldn’t be so bad!
We used to camp. Starting last summer, we’ve had to rent places at the campgrounds (we go to Ocean Lakes and Pirateland). Somehow, trying to fit all 7 of us into the little pop-up was just too much. We’ll be going to Ocean Lakes the week of July 4th this year. I can’t wait! Don’t have any other advice besides the baby wipes – Bobby’s feet get really bad, esp if he’s been wearing his rainbows; they stain his feet.
