My Snaggle Tooth

Anna Claire started the 1st grade this year. She is really growing up! The 2nd week of school she lost one of her front teeth (she had already lost a few on the bottom). The top tooth is really a big deal!!! The pulling of the tooth was quite dramatic, but once it was out Anna was really proud. She got $5.00 from the tooth fairy. When asked what she was going to buy with her money, she said she was giving it to daddy to help pay for her baby brother. I now know I have the sweetest, most thoughtful 1st grader ever!!!!!! Love you Anna Claire!

Seagrove Beach

We went to Disney World for our big family trip this year and decided that we weren't going to the beach. One night I decided that I really NEEDED to go to the beach. So we threw a last minute trip together with Brad, Jessica and Mary Ella and I'm sooo glad we did. We always have the greatest time at the beach. At one point Anna Claire asked "Could we stay here forever?" It was also fun to be there for Mary Ella's first beach experience. This was our first time to visit Seagrove and we really enjoyed it. It was much more laid back and quiet that Destin or Panama City. I would describe it as being quaint. Here are a few pics.

Mary Ella's First Birthday

Soooo.... I'm way behind on my blogging. I have definitely thought about just forwarding you to Jessica's blog for the month of August and starting again with September, but I won't. A very important event was at the beginning of August- my sweet niece Mary Ella's first birthday!!! Since most of the family (ok all of the family except Brad, Jessica and Mary Ella) live here, they decided to load up the party and bring it up to all of us. We had a great time celebrating at Pinewood Neighborhood Pool. Here are the pics!!!!
