Got-2-getaway


So Ryan and I packed up the kids and went to see Ryan's nephew, Ian, who recently returned from a mission to Argentina. We haven't seen him in at least 4 years so it was a fun trip to catch up and let him meet his two newest cousins. Laralee and Hartwell did awesome on the long drive down there. I do have to say- thank goodness for breast pumps and minivans!! We got to the beach twice, had a free slurpee on 7-11, Kim introduced us to Gelato {yummy}, and heard two of the greatest talks in church on Sunday {Adrie and Ian}.


Daddy and Hartwell enjoying a lazy morning.


I almost forgot I had a 2 month old, Adrie held and loved Hartwell the whole weekend. If he started crying there was a race between Kim and Adrie to pick him. Kim nicknamed Adrie the baby stealer.

My sweet little boy. He's getting so big.



And I can't say enough about this one. She was scared of the water at first but then was out letting the waves crash over her while Ryan was holding her. She had so much sand on her she looked like a cinnamon-sugar donut.



Cute cousins!





I just had to post this picture, what kind of face is that?!


Our first family picture since Hartwell



Look at the grins on both of my chickies. So sweet!




Our Floridians. Ian just towers over these two. And check out the sweet jacket Ian is wearing. I caught him dancing in front of the mirror when he found it and put it on. I think he was a little too excited. I wouldn't be surprised if he wears it to church next Sunday. Thanks Patton family for a great weekend!

Miracle Grow

Laralee had Miracle Grow for lunch and when she woke from her nap look what she had.....


really we were looking for donations for the clothing drive at church and found this lovely wig in "Papa" and "Mama's" closet. Which Church aunt or uncle is the proud owner of this beauty?!

Old Mc"Ronalds" Farm

Okay I have a great picture of Hartwell but it will only load sideways and that would bug me to death so I'll have to keep playing with it and post later. The crying one was taken right after. I wanted to show how chunky he is getting and when I took his blanket off him he immediately started screaming.

Don't worry though I got him calmed down and happy again. He is growing so fast. The last couple days he has started smiling too. I'll try to catch a picture soon.


Ryan's garden has really started growing. Here are the tomato plants. He went a little over board with them. We are going to have lots of tomatoes soon.

I built the tee-pees for the beans and peas to grow on. It looks pretty cool from the road.



Just to give you idea of how tall the corn has grown.

Laralee loves to smell the corn. Also every night she looks out her window and says goodnight to the corn and beans.

Yeah corn!!

Green peppers


Okra, Zucchini and Yellow Squash.

Man I am getting hungry just thinking about all the yummy veggies Ryan is growing.
