Sims 7 Months

Here it is almost September, and he is about to be 8 months, but this post is better late than never, right? On August 4th, Sims turned 7 months. 
 He continues to be a happy little guy and is definitely the most laid-back out of all 3 children. He will sit on the floor for literally an hour just playing with his toys. This may not seem like any big deal to anyone, but it is to me because Ellie and Greer were just not like that! He LOVES his big sister and brother and constantly wants to know where they are and what they are doing. He brings so much joy to this house, and we cannot imagine our lives without him! He had his first real sickness a few weeks ago. Greer got Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease first, and after a few days Sims started running a fever too. We had a rough few days, but we are all healthy now thank goodness!
We love you Simmy!

July Recap

We had our annual "Lollie Beach Trip" in mid-July this year and had a great time. Lollie and I got smart this year and found a babysitter to come a couple of nights so we could get a break, and it was just what we needed since it was just Lollie, me, and the 3 kiddos. I really did not get the camera out very much, but here is a quick look at our trip...
 Dinner out one night and putt putt after...
 When we were pulling in to putt putt, Ellie looked across the street and saw LOTS of fun stuff that caught her eye. We couldn't resist and took them to Gulf Shores to the Track a few nights later! She and Greer absolutely loved it.

 We stayed at G.G. Mama's condo like we always do and had another great trip. G.G. Mama is threatening to sell her condo so this may have been our last trip. Mom and I are very sad about this, but we have vowed to continue the tradition even if it is in a different location! (Sims was there too, but I failed to get any pics of that sweet little thing).


Then, the last weekend of July we headed to Lake Martin for the annual Prewett lake trip. The house we stayed in was very kid-friendly. Greer enjoyed the cute little playhouse...


 The best we could do at a group shot...
 Maw Maw and Simmy. She was a big help with him!
 Sims was excited to meet his little cousin Olivia who is just 3 months younger than him.
 She is so precious!!
 G lovin some watermelon...
 The cousins (minus Olivia). These girls are so sweet and great with our children, and I am so very thankful for that. Ellie looks up to them so much!!
Rusty had some t'shirts made for his business so they are modeling the shirts! Cannot wait to do it again next year!
