The Beach

Day 1 at Panama City Beach. We're having a fabulous time. Everett is still catching up on sleep. After playing in the pool and at the beach in the morning, it's time for a nap!

Favorite quote of the day by Kate, "Mom, there's still sand in my tushy"!

Can you spot the rainbow in the background?

This is the view we woke up to. Isn't it gorgeous! Today was the first time Kate saw a rainbow.

VBS

Fun summer pics.

We may not have a pool, but a sprinkler can be just as fun. Kate was pretending to be "Malibu Beach Barbie" and pretending to surf on the hill. She had some good moves to!

We had sweet Marley Ann over for a few hours. Kate enjoyed playing with Marley Ann and I enjoyed getting Aunt Tammy time with her.

Atlanta Zoo and Grant Park

Marci and I took the kids to the Atlanta Zoo and for a picnic at Grant Park. The weather was great and the kids had a great time.

Ballet Recital

Kate finished her first year of ballet. We are so proud of her and she did a great job. She had so much fun with her ballet friends and her best friend, Sarah.

Best friends!

Tutu cute!!

This move impressed me because it was not in her performance. I think she picked this up from one of her Barbie ballet DVDs.

Preschool comes to an end.

Kate finished her first year of preschool with our beloved Miss. Tracy. She had a great year and learned so much! She had a great group of friends this year in her classroom. We will miss most who are leaving, but look forward to another great year of Pre-K with me at school next year.

Nanny was fortunate to be off from work to see her end of the year program.

Kate's class sang songs for parents and impressed us with the Kazoo!

Shriners Circus

We took took Kate to her first Shriners Circus. Kate enjoyed the circus and the rides in the midway.

Kate loved the Pegasus'!

Kate was scared to death of the clowns and I can't blame her because I am not a fan. This is the only way we got a picture with the clown!

Kate's 4th Birthday

Kate offically turned 4 at 7:01 p.m. We celebrated by having her blow out the candles on her cake at exactly 7:01! Kate wanted a purple cake with princesses on it, so that's what she got. Here's the homemade version.

Before school, she celebrated with traditional pancakes and candles.

Papaw and the grandchildren.
