Another picture from the Mud Day of Parkes and Ollie...they are great friends and neighbors and will get in to all kinds of trouble as they grow up. So about a week ago the neighbors told us how they had gotten a free trip to Destin through work and since it was just going to be Ashley and the boys that could go asked if I wanted to brave it with her and go down and take my boys. So Thursday morning at 4 am we loaded the car with five boys and two moms and headed down (we left early thinking that the boys would sleep a few hours of the trip, but oh no they were way too excited for that even Cash decided to stay awake). So we got down there nice and early to enjoy the sun and miss the rain of Nashville. All the boys did so well on the trip and played great together so it was actually a wonderful relaxing trip.
Parkes and Ollie on the beach

Cash loved the pool
Daddies showed up at 2:30 am on Saturday and got to bury the kids in the sand. Also, the daddies flew kites with the boys and it was very windy which lead to one flying away which lead to Parkes being a little upset because he "just loved the kite." On the way home he told us though that he saw God playing with the kite up in the clouds so all was good again.
Cash enjoyed the chair on the beach
Then on the way home our family made a little detour and went to Mobile to see the battleship. Parkes really enjoyed it...and so did Daddy. Cash just liked the break from the car.
Pretending to shot the big machine guns
And finally I had a birthday before the trip. Brandon keep asking what I wanted to do but really didn't care to do much of anything because I already had a girl's night planned to celebrate and last year's birthday we had a colicky baby and I had a pinched nerve in my neck so I was good this year (what a difference a year makes). So Brandon decided to clean the house and make dinner and a cake for Porch Talk (our normal evenings after the kids are put down and the neighbors gather on the porch for adult conversation). As you can see Cash enjoyed helping make the cake.
