Beach time...

We were very lucky to go to 2 beaches this summer. We started it off with a trip to Gulf Shores, AL with Zach's family.

Then later in the summer we went to Destin, FL with my family. (Zach couldn't make it due to business-Boo!)

On a side note...we were fortunate to not deal with oil at either of the gulf coast beaches :) That made for one very happy momma!

Braeden's birthday party...

This year we decided to have a baseball themed party. Braeden is quite the little ball player, so it seemed fitting. We had all of the traditional ballpark fare: hamburgers, hotdogs, peanuts, popcorn, etc...plus all of the party essentials: bounce house/slide, baseballs/bats, pinata (a baseball of course!), cookies and cupcakes! Braeden had so much fun playing outside all day with his friends and family. Thanks to all who came and celebrated with us! Here a few pics from the day...
