lake rabun 2013

We took our annual trip to Lake Rabun in the middle of July. Ahhh...what a glorious time we had! Our trip was filled with lots of swimming, boating, eating, drinking, relaxing, and bonding! :) We had such a nice trip.

Happy boys at the lake!

This was Collins's usual reaction while he was on the boat. Pure relaxation! 

Camper was a fishing machine! He would go into the boat house, bait his own hook and catch fish all by himself.

Camp begged to go tubing the whole time we were at the lake...we finally hooked the tube up to the boat and Camp LOVED tubing! I was so shocked. 

Such a FUN trip!!! So happy we've discovered this special place! Can't wait for next year!

is it really august?

Wow! I can't believe I haven't blogged in almost a month! We've had a fun filled and busy summer! I have a lot of pictures I need to share, but I'm having a hard time finding the time to actually sit down and do that! ;)

School starts in TWO weeks and I have mixed emotions. I've enjoyed our summer, but I always look forward to a better routine. I'm not pulling my hair out yet so I feel like we've had a good balance of  camps/vbs/vacations and free time! :) 

These sweet boys of ours are getting so big and cute. Today while driving in the car, Collins pointed to a pond that we were passing and Camp said, "Collins, can you say POND? That's a POND" :) Camp and Collins have been having lots of fun together lately and Camp will count down the minutes until Collinsy's naps are over. They are the sweetest buddies!

On a trip to Lake Ella to feed the ducks and get a snow ball!

Stay tuned for pics from our fabulous lake trip to Lake Rabun and Collins's 16 month pictures!

15 months

precious baby brother is 15 months old!

15 months is such a fun age...every day is something new and exciting. 

Camp and Collins already have such a neat relationship...I LOVE watching them interact. Tonight they took the cushions off the couch and bounced around and played. It was so cute! Collins also likes to mess with Camp when he's playing, he'll mess up his puzzles, take toys, etc.

He's calling his pacis uh ohs! He does the same thing Camp did when he is looking for his paci, he'll say "uh oh uh oh uh oh uh oh" :)

He's getting his fifth tooth...this makes three on the bottom, two on the top.

He is so busy and loves to explore, open drawers, cabinets, etc. 

He blows on his food if he thinks it's hot and when he sees stuff cooking.

He loves to sing interactive songs and shakes his head yes when we're done singing so we sing it again!

He loves lollipops! I have some in a jar on the counter and he goes up to it all day signing please! :)

Some of his favorite foods are cheese, mashed potatoes, GoGo Squeez, raisins, watermelon, & cantaloupe. 

He just learned to climb on the coffee table! :( He climbed up on it about 25 times today so we decided to move it into our bedroom for now. Camp said "now where are we going to put our coffee?!" :) 

Still on the same sleeping schedule...bed at 8, sleeps in until 8:30 (whoop whoop!!) naps from 10-12ish, then 2-4ish. 

Wears size 18 months and a size 4 diaper.

I fall in love with him more and more each day. 

Happy 15 months to our sweet Collins.

fun

We tried a new (to us) restaurant on Friday and I think it'll become one of our faves! We had so much fun and the boys enjoyed playing with the pizza dough. Collins licked his pizza dough, made a funny face, then picked up his dough and put it on Camp's plate!! :) Haha!

so many blueberries!

The water hose keeps these boys busy for HOURS! 

Collins's hair will get curly when he's outside in the humidity. Sooo dang cute! I don't think I'll be able to cut those curls!

Another Daddy, Mommy, Camper date night!

Cool Mommy and Collins at the pool...
