Summer Vacation

We started summer off with a bang, going on our annual family vacation with the Siesky's to Destin Florida.  We left on Friday May 27th and dropped my sister off in Birmingham and came home the following Sunday, June 5th on Pop's birthday.   Vacation definitely has a different feel when you have a little one, relaxing by the pool and laying out turned into pushing a float around and chasing toys.  I would not trade it for the world!! 

We had wonderful weather while we were there and no NOSE BLEEDS this year!!!   My only regret is that I waited to the last night to take the "family beach pictures" and it was the only night it rained, and when I say rain I mean God opened the flood gates and poured down.   Oh-well there is always next year.  We spent alot of time by the pool, went to Seaside, and the beach then before we knew it we were packing to come home.  You would think 8 nights would be enough time, but it went by so fast....Here is a little recap.

Here we are getting ready to hit the road for our first family vacation!



We ordered Kolten's convertible sear right before we left for vacation and as you can see it was not the most comfortable option.  Auntie L tried to make him more comfortable by adding the blanket around his neck.  He was such a trooper in the car (with a little help from the Mickey Mouse DVD).

My boys getting ready to go out for our first trip to the pool.

We stayed at the Grand SanDestin this time which worked out great because they had a decline pool which Kolten LOVED.  He would just sit in the water and play with his toys and watch the other kids run around.  He is such an observant little man.

Mallory and Scott got married in Destin on Memorial Day weekend, which is the reason why we went when we did this year.  The wedding was on a Bay at sunset and it was GORGEOUS...totally Mallory.  Pink and Golds everywhere.  They even had Cotton Candy Martinis, which Bryce thought was just about the coolest thing ever.  Are they not the cutest couple??

 Our little Family at the wedding...might have been cute if I would have taken off my sunglasses.

Love this picture of Kolten and Nana!  

Kolten danced the night away...already a ladies man.

This is the day after the wedding at the pool.  Kolt was exhausted from all that dancing.

Birthday Smile!  Kolten turned 9months old on memorial day while we were on vacation. A perfect opportunity to wear his adorable outfit from Grammie and Pop.

Kolten is a MAJOR momma's boy...which I only love a little:)

We spent a day with Nana and Papa while in Florida, we went to Baytown which was totally dead during the day (different story at night)

This makes me laugh.  Looks so small in that BIG chair.

We also went to Carla's condo which was on the beach.  Kolten liked it at first.....then he ate the sand and it was over.

Not so sure about this daddy!

Bryce showing Kolten the Ocean for the first time.

This picture pretty much sums it up.  Kolten is CRAZY about Addy and she was so helpful to us because she entertained him.  It was crazy to me how grown up she seemed, compared to last year.  Keaton was not too interested in playing with Kolt this year, but I am sure that will change as they grow older.  Kolten was just a little to slow for him right now.  

One tired boy after a week of fun!!
