Yay!

I just wanted to share that Billy and I are childless for the next 24 hours (at the very min.) I'm very excited! Our weekend has been wonderful so far...
Last night we met my in-laws at Dairy Queen to get my nephew. My MIL and SIL were going to the ZZ Top Concert at the Wharf in Orange Beach. We actually ate supper there. Can I just tell you that I don't believe I've ever ate a meal at Dairy Queen. If I have, it has been way too long to remember. I had chili cheese fries! Oh sweet heaven, they were good!!!
We then came home and let the boys play. It's funny because I always said when I was younger that I wanted to have 1 child, but now that I see Conner playing with other kids and the joy he gets out of it...my mind has definitely changed. I mean I know having a sibling will be totally different than having a cousin or friends over to play, but at least he wouldn't be lonely if he had a sibling.
When it was time for us to go to bed, all 3 boys were going to sleep in Conner's room. I came and took Conner to my bed because I knew where he was going to be around 3-4 in the morning...right by my bed asking to crawl in. So, Conner and I had a good night's sleep. Billy, on the other hand, did not. He said Conner has nothing on Brian when it comes to sleeping under someone. Bless, his heart, I don't think he got any sleep. So, Brian and Billy come bebopping into my room at 6:30 this morning. (That's right, on a Saturday!) Billy said Brian woke up at 5, then at 5:30, then at 6 and Billy finally let him get up at 6:30...lol
So, this morning we got up and went to IHOP (or as Conner says Hi-hop) and ate breakfast, then met my MIL in Stapleton, handed the boys off and high tailed it back to Daphne! Conner, hasn't totally left our minds though...lol On our way back to the house we stopped at a yard sale 3 doors down from our house and got Conner one of those Little Tykes Basketball goals. He's gonna be so surprised! I'll have to post a picture of it with him when he gets home tomorrow.
Right now, Billy is taking a much needed nap. Later this afternoon we are going to 2 matinee movies! We are going to see "What Happens in Vegas" and the new Indiana Jones movie. THEN, after that we are going to eat at STIX. I'm reallly excited! (see so excited that I put an extra 'l' in really)
Well, now I'm going to enjoy the peace and quiet of a childless house right now...and maybe do a little digiscrapping. Woohoo!

A day at the beach

Wow, I haven't updated in about a month, so, here ya go! (Be sure to check out Conner's blog too. I'm still in the process of transfering from his babysite too.)

We recently went to spend the weekend at Gulf Shores. It was a nice get away. We left Friday and at lunch at Lu Lu's at Homeport Marina. After that we checked into our hotel and went to Ft. Morgan. Later that day we went to The Track Family Fun Center. Conner loved riding the go-carts with me and Billy.

Saturday morning we got up and went to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, then came back to our hotel room and got ready and went to the beach. Conner didn't like the waves, but LOVED playing in the sand. After riding around a little bit we took Conner to Waterville, U.S. A. it took him a while to get used to the water there, but by the time we were ready to leave, he didn't want to go.

Here's a scrap page, I did this afternoon with pictures taken while we were at the beach. (click to make larger)
