ATL

The 2nd weekend of October, we headed to Atlanta for my cousin Lee J's wedding.

When we arrived in ATL on Thursday, we headed to my sister Charlotte's house for chili...it was a great evening and I got to see my other sister, Vanessa, and meet her husband and two little girls! Vanessa's been living in Japan for the past five years, but she and her family recently moved back to the US. It was so fun to see everyone and for Camp to meet some new cousins!

Camp, Anri, Isla, Violet, & Carl

Camp and Anri are only three months apart!

charlotte just sent me some pictures the photographer took...they're pretty cute!

I love this picture...my dad looks pleased as punch!

On Friday, Adam, Camp, and I headed to the aquarium...Camp loved it.

"Hey kid...what's your name?"

 "I Camp"

After the aquarium, we headed to The World of Coke or "the coca cowa pwace" as Camp called it.

He bought this fun grabber in the aquarium gift shop with some birthday money...

Camp's favorite drink was plain ol' Coca Cowa

Adam loved Stoney from Tanzania...

my fave was the red cream soda...yum!

After our sightseeing adventures, we met Beth at Fox Bros. BBQ for a fabulous lunch...we also ate at Fox Bros. the next day...mmm we couldn't get enough!! :)

Friday night, we headed to Lee J. and Molly's rehearsal dinner at the fancy schmancy Cherokee Town Club.

Beautiful table!

My cousin Wesley toasting his little brother, Lee J. I never used to cry at weddings or rehearsal dinners until Camp was born...dang...Wesley's toast was awesome and a tearjerker!! It could also be the pregnancy hormones!! :)

On Saturday we headed to Stone Mountain.

 Here Camp is on the train ride!

Stone Mountain!

After the train ride, Camp spotted a man making balloon animals...of course he got a sword!

There were other little boys that got swords as well and they all had lots of fun sword fighting together...it was pretty cute.

We had such a fun weekend and I was glad we could turn it into a little family vacation as well!

It was so nice to see family that I haven't seen in years!! As we get older, it's so hard to get everyone together at one time, but a wedding is a great excuse to do it!!

Congrats, Lee J. & Molly!!

three weeks behind

Well, I guess I'm almost four weeks behind...yikes! We've been pretty busy around here...I want to share all of the fun stuff we've been up to, so I'll start from almost four weeks ago and try to work my way up to last weekend.

 The first day of October, Camp and I met Holly and Sally Kate at the Museum of Florida History...

It was our first trip and Camp seemed to enjoy it...his favorite part being the gift shop! :)

pretending he's a pirate...

 driving the ship boat!

That Sunday, Adam, Camp, and I headed to Lake City for a dove shoot...

Camp all decked out in his camo!

Before we left town, Trip called to tell us the birthday present he had for Camp would be perfect for a dove hunt...we headed to Trip's for Camp to open his present.

he got an awesome gun, rifle, and a davey crocket hat...he was ready for his dove shoot!

boys heading out to the field...

they did good!

my favorite boys...love this picture.

 

pictures from my phone

Here are some phone pictures from the past month or so that I wanted to share...

Camper & Daddy at Village Inn for breakfast...yummy!

Our new precious munchkin's first picture...this was taken a month ago! :)

Remember the HGTV show Adam and I filmed almost three years ago?? Well, it finally aired at 7:30am on September 19th (primetime, baby!) We didn't have much warning and I actually forgot it was coming on until my mom called to remind me! It was really fun to watch and I'm glad Adam was still home so he could watch it too! :) Look at sweet Camp...only 4 months old!

I thought Adam and I looked like naturals :)...it's funny that we aren't even in that house anymore, but it was neat to look back! We were told we'd get a copy of the show so hopefully we'll still end up getting it.

Lion King

Even Chick-fil-A thinks I'm special...ain't they sweet??

Adam bowling...he's a lot better than I am!

Dolphin Tale in 3D...those dang 3D movies are gimmicks, but the 3D showing was the only one not during naptime...

Camp and his bff the toad...he goes out every night to search for him (and other frogs). He has full on conversations with them too... "wanna go swimming in the pool?" then he'll put them in his pool.

 poor frogs...

turn up the volume...

because Camp has something important to say!!

Baby Gunter #2 due in April!! :)

trip to st. augustine

The weekend before Camp's birthday, Camp and I headed to St. Augustine to visit my dad and Meri.

When we arrived, Camp (and I) had birthday presents to open!

Grandma & Grandpa got him an awesome remote control Mater!

Camp thought it was pretty cool...it was his first remote control toy and he got it down really quickly!

so serious...

On Saturday, we headed to the splash park and Camp had a blast!! I wish Tallahassee had a place like this...so simple yet so fun!

After the splash park, we headed to The Alligator Farm.

We got to witness alligator feeding time...it was intense at times, but those trainers would show those alligators who was boss (the trainers must have been seminoles!)

After a fun filled day, we had a scrumptious dinner of beef tenderloin, the tastiest twice baked potatoes I've ever had, and yummy fresh broccoli from the farmer's market (I will never buy frozen broccoli again!!)

For dessert (at my request) Meri made Lemon Surprise...mmmmm one of my favorite desserts of all time.

Thank you, Daddy & Meri for such a fun weekend! We'll see you again tomorrow!!
