This summer has gone by too fast but was lots of fun! Here are a few memories from Summer 2011:
We celebrated our 5th Anniversary with a trip to Destin on Memorial Day weekend...
 |
| Five years sure has flown by! Looking forward to the next five! :) |
 |
| A gorgeous sunset at Dewey Destin, one of our favorite restaurants |
 |
| Neat shot of a bike Jeff took at Seaside |
 |
| Another beautiful sunset at Seaside (Isn't Jeff a talented photographer?!) |
I finished my LAST CLASS in May!!!
(no pic for this, but you can just picture me with a super excited expression)
Jeff and G celebrated their second Father's Day with Kate...
We celebrated my 29th birthday in June...
 |
| Jeff, April, Blake, Ashleigh, and Kate |
 |
| Kate and G share a piece of the best chocolate birthday cake ever. (Thanks Granna!) |
In July, Kate got to "sleep in" til 8:00 or even 8:30 some days...
Jeff was on the road a lot traveling for work. Here are a few pics from his Minnesota trips:
 |
| Needless to say, I was a bit jealous when I got this text... Our heat index that week was in the 100s! Jeff said he could live in MN during the summers. He commented about how nice all the people were. Two of the newspaper employees hosted him at their houses for supper, and one even took him "river tubing" with her family on a Sunday afternoon. |
 |
| Really cool shot of a rainbow over one of the huge fields there |
 |
| A breathtaking sunset over one of their lakes. |
|
Kate and I visited with Sarah, Scott, Rachel, and Ginny at the Hughes' home in Gardendale for a few days while Jeff was traveling in July...
 |
| Playing on the bouncy ball with "Cott" (These two share the same birthday and were inseparable!) |
|
 |
| All the girls met Scott for lunch one day at Nikki's West, and a lady commented, "Well you can tell she's a daddy's girl!" which made us all laugh and earned Scott the nickname "Faux Daddy" from Rachel. |
|
|
|
 |
| Playing in the floor with Aunt "RaRa" and Uncle "Cott" |
 |
| A late night of fun with the girls (Amanda, we missed you!) |
Jeff's softball team, O2 Ministries, won the league championship!
 |
| Jeff played awesome in the tournament - said they were probably the two best games of his life! |
Granna and G moved into their new house in late July.
(We're so glad to have them in the same town with us!)
 |
| Granna and Kate blowing bubbles on the back porch |

Sugarfoots Baby Boutique, Mom and Dad's store, celebrated their 2nd Birthday in July...
 |
| Of course, the favorite model had to attend... |
 |
| ... and sample a cookie :) |
We welcomed two new babies into our circle of friends - Aubrey (Matt & Sarah's second daughter) and Ryder (Roudy & Sarah's third child and only son)! We enjoyed spending lots of wonderful time with Matt, Sarah, Brynn and Aubrey while they were home for the summer.

| Officer Spencer with Deputy Ava |
 |
| Fun in the ball pit! The Anders' basement is an awesome place to play! |
 |
| Parker and Kate |
 |
| Sweet Brynn |
 |
| The kids had so much fun playing together, and of about 10 pictures, this one had the most kids looking/smiling! |
 |
