A few days without kids....

Well 2 days without the girls...so bittersweet. I loved having Jamie all to myself and not having to cook dinner or tell someone why they had to bath. It was fun watching what we wanted to on the TV, I don't even know what Sponge Bob and Patrick did for 2 days! But, I have missed the girls. Peyton went to camp on Sunday and Piper went to my sister's house for 2 days. I think the worst part has been not being able to talk to Peyton....until yesterday that is...someone smuggled a cell phone into camp and she called me at work. hahahaha I said how are you calling me and she said, this girl has a phone and we are all calling our moms. I hope they didn't get caught! haha

We went and picked up Piper on our way home from work on Wednesday and I was sooooo glad to see her smiley face. She was ready to get home too. She was in the car before we were. Tonight we pick up Peyton. We will have dinner at the camp and then they will have an awards ceremony for the campers. I can't wait!

Well not much else going on, I just wanted to jot down a couple of things before the week got totally behind me.

July 2009

Well July has been a busy, yet fun month for us so far. We kicked it off with a 2 week vacation at GamMaw and PawPaw's beach house in Panama City Beach! We had an awesome time, and I highly recommend a 2 week vacation to everyone. Just imagine 2 weeks of no work, no bills, no dance, cheerleading, gymnastics....just beach and puttputt! haha We had a ball. Here are some pictures of our trip. The first week we had my family there, then the 2nd week we had Jamie's family.


I took our blowup pool from our house to the beach, best decision I ever made...the girls didn't want to hit the sand everyday, so this gave them a break.








Yesterday, was a big first for us...we dropped Peyton off at overnight camp. She was so excited! I spent 2 days packing her stuff and making sure everything was labeled. We went to Walmart and bought a funky blanket and sheet set (and a matress pad, a little extra room between my baby girl and a very used matress). We bought a poncho, laundry bag, small shampoos and lotions, all kinds of girly camp stuff! haha I got to hang around long enough to see her take her swim test. Then she was ready for us to leave...I won't get to talk to her til Thursday. I can't wait to hear all about her week! I left her with 2 disposable cameras to take pictures, I hope she figures out how to use them since I forgot to show her.


This is Peyton with my cousin's daughter, Elizabeth. I feel so much better knowing she has a friend from the start.
