{Bexley} Meet The Teacher

Bexley will be in the Monkey Class at preschool this year!  She is so excited to have Ms. Tish ~ the same teacher Camden had when he was a monkey!!!  We met some of her new friends and saw some old friends today!  It is going to be a great last year of preschool!

{Camden} 2nd Grader.

WOW! 2nd grade already! Can't wait to see what this year holds for him!!!

{Back To School} Party!

We had our annual Back To School Party today! Just a little fun to get us pumped up before heading to school tomorrow...as if we needed to be pumped up anymore!

{Bexley} The Opera Singer

It is totally common in our house to hear Bexley belting out a song...with vibrato! She almost always does it when she thinks nobody is listening or watching. Sometimes she'll let you sing with her, but she will never let you video it. You have to see sneaky.  And today...I was trying to be sneaky. We were getting ready for our Back To School Party and she was playing with a Color Wonder book ~ then I heard, "COLOR-WONDERRR!"...with vibrato!  I couldn't get my phone out fast enough to take a video, so this is what I got!

Maybe it's just because we are her parents, but I think this is absolutely adorable.  This is what we witness every.time.she.sings...and it will never.get.old!

{Back To School} 2014-2015 Photo Shoot

Last year I did some Back To School pics of the kiddos and I loved how they turned out ~ so this year I wanted to do the same!  I was surprised, and glad, that the kids were excited to do them!  Can you guess which child is turning into my own little model?!?

{St Kitts} Last Day!

We spent our last day in St. Kitts doing nothing but spending time at our house and playing in the water!  We loved St. Kitts, but were ready to get back home and on a routine again!  I think probably one of our favorite memories of the island is just being together and hanging out!  That in my book, is a sign of a great vacation!

{St. Kitts} Snorkeling

I am not a big fan of water.  Now, let me clarify...I love being at the beach, on a lake, and at the pool, but I don't actually like the idea of getting IN the water.  Snorkeling sounds so fun and exciting to me, but once I see a fish, I kind of, well...freak out!  I am so glad our kids do not have this!  They will go with Scott way out where they can't touch and just look at the beautiful Caribbean fish!  In St. Kitts, we (as in Scott & the kidddos) loved snorkeling at White House Bay! I, on the other hand, was just a photographer!

{SALT Plage} Sunset

After playing on the beach all day, we wanted to see a nice St. Kitts sunset!  We found the perfect place...Salt Plage!

They have the coolest seating there!  Bexley loved laying here!

This seating was a net over the water.  At night they had it lit up so you could see the fish swimming beneath you!

The sunset.  A lot of clouds came in right as the sun was setting ~ still really pretty, but didn't last long!

{St. Kitts} Boogie Boarding

One of Camden's favorite things to do in St. Kitts was to boogie board (surfer in training)!  We would take him to Sand Bank Bay (where the water is a little rougher) to boogie board.  I loved it there, because it.is.just.stunningly.beautiful!  It had a really wide beach,surrounded by mountains and on a good day you would see the mountain goats grazing it! I also like that it had the black volcano rocks! Later in the trip we found a little secret restaurant tucked away in it ~ such a good surprise! I could spend all day here!

{Nevis}

Not far from St. Kitts is a little, quaint island called Nevis.  Most people venture over there while staying in St. Kitts!  We took the ferry over and decided to eat a cute place called, Sunshine's!  Our trip to Sunshine's will always be a rememberable one...once off the ferry a local told us the restaurant was about a mile away!  After a 1 1/2mile-2mile walk (kids on adults shoulders, 90 degree weather) we decided to get a ride the rest of the way.  Best decision we made that day...the restaurant ended up being about 4 miles away from the ferry!  Luckily, Sunshine's was really good and we treated ourselves with a private boat on the way home!

At Sunshine's they had a Carolina flag!  

Our ride back to St. Kitts!

{Brenda + John} Wedding!

What a great day to get married!  St. Kitts, perfect weather, and close friends!  Brenda has been my best friend since high school and there are not enough words I could write of what I think of her!  She has been such an amazing friend!  And then there's John, her new hubby...he's kind, thoughtful and funny, but most of all her makes my best friend extremely happy!  Happy Wedding Day, Brenda & John!  We love you!

Getting ready!
