Girls Just Wanna Be Born...

Little baby girl already has a wardrobe... and a favorite Aunt. Thanks Stephanie! We woke up Easter morning to an Easter basket from Stephanie filled with some cutie clothes for our cutie baby .
We are having a girl!
I will be honest, we were really shocked when we found out. It just seems like we would have a boy first, being that we both came from families where a boy was oldest.
But this is such a fun surprise.
I can look at all the pink clothes I want now! I'm already making plans for her room. It's gonna be great.
Brett maybe feeling a little out numbered. When I asked help for a title to this post he said "PMS Central"-
Hardy har har! It's better than "Estrogen City"- that was my first option. He is really excited though. This little girl is gonna have him wrapped around her finger.
In my family this is 1 of four girls to be born just this year. I think the rates are even higher on Brett's side. Oh my.

Gulf Shores Weekend

Alabama has a coast line- and we have the pictures to prove it!
Last weekend we met up with Mike, Steph and the kiddies for a weekend at Gulf Shores State Park.






We stayed in a gorgeous 3 bedroom, 3 bath cabin (on stilts mind-you) on the water.

It WAS AWESOME!!!
I am counting this as our first REAL REAL REAL vacation.
Granted we camped out in a tent the first week of our marriage, I don't count that.
And yah, we've stayed at alot of peoples houses, but when you have nowhere else to go, it doesn't really count as a vacation.
We've earned this bragging right.



We went to Orange City and found Cotton Bayou beach. And so did the wind! Boy Howdy was it windy. But it was too beautiful to leave.
There were plenty of sea shells in the "sugar sand" beach for Jorja to collect and for Preston to dig with.

These pictures aren't a very good representation
of what a crazy time we had, or how cute the kids were, but it was so windy I dropped the camera in the sand and decided to put it away after that.



I did manage to get one of Brett challenging me to a fight though. Or something.. I don't really know what's going on here.









This is Brett practicing.
He gets a B+. His form is good, but the baby is a little to close to the rail for my taste.
