Cruising on the tractor with Daddy!

Oh...too funny!

So, I was heading to take the girls to Summer camp before work on Friday...

and as Im going...I pass a guy on a tractor going down the road...

well....Lily goes...'MOMMY that is Daddy!'

And...sure enough it was so I turned around and went down to him and Lily was in Heaven when he asked her if she wanted to drive it! ha!

Her day was made!

She climbed on up! And then put putted along! ha!

 She was allllll smiles the whole ride! :) :) And so was Daddy! :) :)

The BIG 10!

So...yeah...she is 10!

Well, technically Monday...but still...my goodness time has flown!

I am in awe of the little girl that is growing into a little lady! I just cant believe how fast she is growing up! She is the most sassy, big hearted, funny, creative, smart and loving 10 year old I know!

I have been so blessed to see what she has done in her 10 years of life and cant wait to see what God has in store for her for the next!

First stop for the birthday crew....Alexis chose Kobe for dinner...since she wanted a 'sushi' party! I hate this picture is blurry!

Sweet friends!....that are BIGGER than me! Two of the three are taller than me...weigh more than me...have a bigger sized foot than me....I just cant wrap my head around it!

These were 3 excited girls!

The other half of the table celebrating the birthday girl! Lily spent the night..and had a TON of fun with Nan and Pawpaw while Lex had her fun birthday night!

Her sushi arrived!

Then..the biggest surprise! They started busting out to her with drums and clanging and banging instruments and singing...it was so funny!

She was so surprised!

And then the cake!

So happy and excited!

Making her wish!

This picture cracks me up because not only did they play..and sing 'happy birthday'...but they also sang and played this Japanese song too! Nobody knew what they were saying...but they were throwing their hands up and clapping, etc......the people eating at the table were even getting into it! TOO funny! Alexis and Carli's face cracks me up because they were not really sure about all that was going on with this song! HILARIOUS! :) :)

Up next....they all jumped! Carli and Lex did a bunch of back flips...Caroline didnt ever get herself over! Boy I had some laughs watching them try and flip!

Then..on to some shopping! I grabbed this picture as they were walking down the Mall. They kept jumping like this because they were SOOO wired up and happy! Love this!

We stopped first at Claire's...and they got matching neck chokers! ha!

Then..of course...Bath and Body Works...for matching body splash! ha!

Then...HAVE to go to Justice! They had this cute wall of why you LOVE Summer! They put their sticky notes as to their reasons! They all put 'no school!' :)

Then....fun gear from Justice!...

We ran into Aunt Pam, Richard and Andrew while shopping and they just so happened to have tickets to the same movie time as us to see Jurassic Park! {Alexis chose dinner and a movie}

I hate this is blurry! BOO! But this is their 'TREX' faces!! bahaha!

They...didnt go to bed until 3:30am! YEP... I went in there...at that time {though I had gone previous times} to cut the lights off and tell them to go to bed. When I went the last time....Carli was already passed out. It was just Caroline and Lex up.
Well..Carli slept until 9:45am...these two were up at 8:15am despite going to bed when they did.
Yeah...they were up playing with the SLIME...YES...SLIME that Carli gave Alexis disguised as a birthday gift!
Alexis got money from Aunt Pam {at the Mall} and money from Caroline for her birthday..yet said this slime was the 'best gift ever!' OH me!.......so it will make me sad when I have to throw it in the trash! ha! :) :) :) {Not really! I hate that stuff!} Carli worked so hard on it and made Alexis 4 different kinds of slime! It was sweet

They did their masks that I got them at Justice before playing outside....in the basement...before us all heading to Cook Out to eat lunch and then home for them!
Alexis had a great birthday with friends!

The BIG reveal!

Tonight marked the night that us Mom's have been planning for MONTHS now!

How to surprise the girls with a fun girl's weekend trip to see their favorite singer in concert!

Taylor Swift in August...here we come!

The three amigos from day 1! They all had NO idea why we were all together....why they didnt know we were meeting and eating together!....they were sooo confused!

Sweet girls!

After we ate....we busted out the big surprise! They were like...WHAT is this?!?!? ha!

Mrs. Alison had them all the most awesome 'scrapbook' type 'rhyme' book where it had sweet pictures of the girls from when they were tiny all the way until now...with sayings to help them try and guess what the surprise was! It took all 3 of them about 7 times reading through it to FINALLY figure out that they were all going to the concert! It was killing us Moms that they were taking so long! ha!

After they figured it out.....they pulled out these cute shirts! BOY they were so excited!

So cute!

Such a fun afternoon!

They asked to take a 'crazy' picture! OH me! :) :)

Then...the 'big' girls went over to SK's house for a little bit...so this little one came home with me and played with my little one! Lily was SHOCKED that Callie had came to play!

They played dress up...and dancing...and did crafts...and had the best couple of hours while the big girls swam at Sk's house!
Such a fun night of sweet memories! Cant wait for the fun weekend!

Wordless Wednesday!

{How can it be...she is 10?!?!?!}

AND....the HUGE surprise that I have been keeping for MONTHS now....will finally be revealed tonight to her that is basically her 'birthday!' I cant wait to see how excited they all are going to be! Stay tuned!

More ocean fun!

Wednesday was hump day and boo...the week was winding down!

We were up bright and early, again, to soak it up!

Enjoying the ocean!

The ocean was perfection on this day! The girls loved riding the waves and swimming and floating!

So cute!

Relaxing with a cherry coke! ha!

Surfing!

Pool time! I love this picture! ha!

This was the view I had of Lily for pretty much every time we were at the pool! She was perfect at doing her dive! She is a PRO at it! She is a little fish!

We headed to dinner and then some shopping ....ice cream...candy..and then Lily decided she wanted to jump!

And...that she did!

She went SO high but could never get herself over to do a back flip! She tried though!

Thursday Lily found a lot of 'animal friends' as she called them! She found a ton of snails, etc during our trip. This creature she found was HUGE and and a huge and beautiful shell!

Then we cleaned up and headed to hibachi and sushi!...per Alexis' request!

And...more shopping! Lily made her name out of this sequin picture! ha!

And then we decided to ride some carts!
Let me just say....us two BLEW the other two out of the water!! Yep...we WON! I...slightly...bumped Daddy...and sped past him...and he could never get back around me! BOOM! :) :)

Always fun to ride go-carts!

And...finally...our last full day! Boo! Gran and Alexis soaking up the last hours before having to leave.

Doing some relaxing in the pool!

We all loaded up and headed to Destin for dinner with Pam, Richard, Britt and Kennedy at MaGuires. We love to eat there! YUM! :)

These two LICK the bowl dry every time we eat here with this soup! They LOVE this bean soup!

Sweet Kennedy is getting SO big! We had a great dinner with everyone and a great trip with Gran and Ben! We loaded up early Saturday and headed back to Alabama. Oh, and just like that....the beach is over. Boo!

This girl loved that the balloon guy made them a turtle and her a cat! :)

Us two! Love him!

Our last beach picture before packing up...cleaning up and hitting the bed!
