Nothing says summer like being out on the water!

My dad bought an old boat earlier this summer, like an '85 Avanti...OLD! But he and my brother have worked on it and basically re-done everything!! I am really upset with myself that I didn't get before-after pictures because the transformation was amazing! This weekend was the first time he gave it a spin on the water and it runs great! Cabe and Reese just like riding and the wind in their hair.

We spent most of the day doing cannonballs off the boat and swimming around. I must say, Cabe and Reese are pretty much fearless on the water.

All Reese wanted to do was drive the boat! Every chance she got she jumped in the Captain's chair!

Mr. & Mrs.

The long awaited wedding weekend of Frankie and Rachel has finally come (and gone). Frankie was a fraternity brother of Robert's in college and my "chaperon" after Robert graduated. He has literally been there since the beginning of our family so, needless to say Robert and I were so excited to celebrate with he and his new bride this weekend!

---

The festivities were in Lebanon, right outside of Nashville, and kicked off Friday night with Rehearsal Dinner. If you remember, Frankie was the guy who wore a "grill" in some of our wedding pictures - quite the prankster. He gave all of the groomsmen and ushers tux t-shirts.

(Props to Rachel for being such a patient bride:)

After Frankie fumbled his way through the vows everyone headed to The Mill for the reception. Everything was absolutely amazing - beautiful bride, great band and delish chocolate cake :)

Robert & I at the wedding - after it poored rain!!!

A few of the guys - I didn't take many pictures...I am boycotting my camera until I get a new one!

We had so much fun seeing everyone! I love weddings and I am so blessed I love all of my hubbies friends! They are so much fun...probably too much fun - I am still recovering!

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Grauzer!

Self - Photos

Reese, like her mommy, really likes to take pictures. She walks around flashing the camera taking people's pictures; It's pretty smart actually, only if she can figure out to turn the camera around. So far we have alot of self-photos:)

What a clown!!

Let Freedom Ring!!

July 4th is one of my favorite holidays in Atlanta. There are probably about 5 or 6 big firework shows, lots of day festivals...so much to do! One of our favorites is the Lenox Mall firework show. People put out lawn chairs or blankets on any open spot for miles in every direction. We like to pack a cooler and snacks and just take it all in! This year we strolled to a ColdStone Creamery close to the show...apparently everyone else had the same genius idea. Poor Robert stood in the ice cream line during the entire firework display and about 20 minutes afterwards. BUT we got free ice cream!! Reese loves ice cream and Robert loves Free so we were a happy family :)


Robert was thrilled to stand in line!

It was an all-around American weekend! We went to a Braves game, stayed at the pool all day and cooked out at night. Those are some of my most favorite things...no wonder I love the 4th!

A "Cool" Front

On the morning news this week, the weather man mentioned a "cold front" that was coming through. If you are from the South you know there is just no such thing in mid-summer. But there has been a nice break in the hot summer temps. We took advantage tonight and went outside for a while when I got home from work. Reese and I went on a short stroll and then kicked around the soccer ball. Robert is so terrified Reese is going to be "girly" and play no kind of sport...maybe this will put him at ease for a while. She has some decent skills ;)
