Tyler, Lily and I had the pleasure of meeting Alexis' bigs Friday night!
Lindsey and Payton are adorable and I am excited for Alexis that she has them!
They came over and then got Alexis allll ready to go do their event and then dinner!
It was a nice evening!
Cute girls!
So fun! And I love the memories Lex is making!
These two girls worked so hard............studied so hard and....................
PASSED their driving test!
Sooooo......................................
she doesnt have to take it when she is 16!
She is DONE!
So proud of her.................and of both of them!
Aaliyah had a more stressful week, poor thing, but she overcame and did her best and passed her test!
They both passed their boating license too!
All Alexis has to do now is taker her certificate to the DOT and she will get her driver's license!
WHOOO HOOO!
Alexis has been super busy this past week with the Donoho driving camp and all things DD so Thursday....Tyler was working on a paper (he is almost DONE!!.........with all things school/classes forever!!) and Alexis was gone to DD pool practice.........
so Lily and I went and got our nails done and then had a sweet treat from DQ!
Just her and I!
It was fabulous!
And our nails look fabulous too................and the treat was fabulous too! :)
I just cant wrap my head around..............
Alexis being able to drive.........................
and
that Reese is now 3!
Time flies.
Crazy.
I just cant understand how both can be!
Alexis drove all the way to Leeds for the first time on the interstate so since she did such a great job, we celebrated with a stop and grabbing icee's at Buc-ees!
She was so proud of herself! She managed the interstate well!
We had a low-key weekend but it was full of birthdays and, of course, DD things! Even with me having surgery, our schedule doesnt want to slow down much!
Alexis enjoyed a beautiful Friday night with some of her DD friends working the Oxford Food Truck night to get in some more of her community service hours.
I didnt get any pictures of her but just picture her and her DD friends working a bouncy house and then walking around the food trucks and making sure everything was kept clean and nice! :)
Saturday was full of relaxing at home and doing house work before celebrating Misty's birthday!
This crew of kids....................and Mr. Chris.......always are up for fun!
We enjoyed celebrating our 15 year old one more time with the Law crew!
She got a surprise dessert since it was her birthday dinner! She ate that whole thing! :0
The crew!
Even though we have alll the family parties....
I think her most favorite is her friends!
Each year both girls pick what they want to do with their friends and this year Alexis wanted to go to Gran's and ride the boat so that's exactly what we all did!
It was a perfection of a day!
Not everyone was able to come because of softball or volleyball camps or because it is still so close to the 4th of July holiday...but the ones that were able, had so much fun!
Singing happy birthday!
Love them!
Then we went back out and enjoyed a great boat ride and then they jumped off this popular spot for awhile before the ride back and then the heading back home.
Fun memories were made and we all enjoyed a nice Sunday afternoon!
So Lily stayed longer than we did down at Pensacola/Gulf Breeze/Navarre to visit Aunt Pam!
Gran, Nannie, and Ben went down so she rode back home with them.
They had a great time being together!
Lily got to help play with Bella, a little girl that Pam keeps, and just loved getting to know her!
Meanwhile, at home....I was a back seat driver! Alexis has been really hitting the roads and Tyler has been the master of teaching all the things. I sit back....and well...hold my breath... :) :)
Alexis is super excited about her birthday party Sunday with her friends riding the boat and all the sunshine!
Carli isnt going to be able to make it due to softball so her and Lex had a special night together last night. We went to dinner at Yume since Alexis wanted sushi and them to 'cook in front of me' then we hit Crumble cookie and Publix before heading home. Their plan was to 'hang out' and watch a scary movie while spending the night! I have no idea if that happened because I was exhausted and went to bed! :)
Lily is still at the beach with Aunt Pam, Richard, Nannie, Ben and Gran so she is soaking up all the fun, still, since she got to stay as we made our way back home. Both girls are making the most of their Summer!
She ROCKED it!
1st try and she passed!
SOOO proud of this girl!
So excited! She loves her picture too so bonus! ha!
Now...whooooo wants to teach her to drive! TAG youre it! :)
We continued the fun on Monday with a FULL day on the boat and enjoying the day and night!
We stayed out all day and went to several different beaches, stopped at Latitudes and let the kids do the splash pad and the ropes and zip line courses before heading home and crashing!
For the 4th on Tuesday, we had a staycation and cooked out and swam before doing fireworks and then heading out on the boat to watch fireworks!
There is NOTHING better than watching the fireworks on the water in the ocean. It is just magical!
Cleaned up and ready for fireworks! This is literally the only time they were dressed in normal clothes the whole trip!
Mitchell and Daddy...official firework starters!
Alexis is 15!
I just cannot wrap my head around it!
She had the best day! We spent the entire day at Big Kahuna's water park before heading to Aunt Pams to cookout and swim more!
I'd say it was a great birthday!
Very few can say on your 15th birthday that you get to do all the fun she does!
Beach hair dont care.....even on your birthday!
It is one of our most favorite things and traditions to do...
to head down and visit Britt and Mitchell and the kids for the 4th of July!
We have so much fun and so enjoy spending time with them!
We are so glad we headed down after work on Friday because that meant that instead of being in a car most of the day Saturday, driving down, we were HERE!
Insert sunshine, water, sun and fun!
We headed by boat to our favorite place, Flounders, per Alexis' request! They sang and brought her dessert for her bday!
