Makayla's birthday party

We had Makayla's birthday part this past Saturday. She wanted a Tinkerbell party for her 4th birthday.

Third time was a charm for us to go on the Atlantis Submarine tour at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Unfortunately, Elijah couldn't go because he is too little.

Deployment Ceremony

Our FL trip continued...

We checked out of the Shades of Green resort on the 8th and Dewpop came back to pick us up. We drove to his place in Lake Mary. He and Blain went a little later to pick up Nana and Mamaw from the airport. Aunt Myke came in the next day.

We all went to the outlet mall in Orlando and while we were shopping, it started storming! Nana, Aunt Myke and the kids started singing "The Wheels on the Bus". Had to do something to keep the kids entertained. :D


On Saturday, the 11th, Blain & I took the kids to Sea World. Thanks to Anheuser Busch/Sea World/Busch Gardens, active duty military members and their dependents get in for free.

We even fed and pet the dolphins



The Shamu show



Going to see the manatees. It was our last stop of the day and the bottom fell out on us! We tried to wait it out but it never let up so we got soaked!


On the 12th, we went over to friends of Blain's parents for a get together.
The kids played in the pool

Mak & Ms. Janine

This is one busy boy. As you can see, I was interrupting his phone call.


It was great to spend time with our family and have Mamaw finally meet Elijah. Our trip was a little bittersweet though. Blain's deployment is just around the corner. His box has been packed and the helicopters are waiting to be shipped out. We are going to miss him terribly but we are very proud of him and what he does!! Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. The kids and I plan to stay busy while he is away. The Fuller B&B will be open for visitors in late September!
