4th of July!

the fireworks were awesome over the water

it was still amazing seeing them over the battleship

the sunset was so beautiful to watch

here we are letting Parker take some snap shots not too bad

We got to take Sissy and Parker this year they loved it

the Marine Police came right up to the boat just to check out all of the accessories of the SS Bubba

He was so awesome and gave the boys a t-shirt that they insisted on putting on too funny

they were so excited that the "water cop" came and tied to us to talk to us and gave them something

Dauphin Island West end

Saying our goodbyes Wanda and Maddie leaving

Bon Voyage with all of the holiday traffic they left on the ferry another first for them both, how cool!

Battleship Baby!

We went to the USS Alabama this week to show the kiddos what war and being a soldier is all about for the 4th!

Sissy was excited her and Dewayne were the only ones that had been before, me included, YES I have grown up in mobile, al and have NEVER been on the battleship! Pretty cool to do the first time with the boys.

This was neat to let the kids try out the "births" (cots)

this is some pretty hilarious cheesin Madison my cousin was in town for the first time away from her parents and twin sister Makenzie however both of them had 5 bucks burnin in their pockets and lo and behold the aircraft museum had a Crash simulator and boy did they beg they were in fact tall enough to ride alone and had just enough to spend Dylan's toothfairy money and Maddie's trip money so here they are as soon as they got out of the "coolest ride ever!" too funny gotta luv em

You wanna piece of me?

Just thought this was way too funny of a pic of Parker had to share

way too rural for us!!

Well as most of you know we drove Mom & Dad up to Georgia for a visit with Uncle Tommy that is not doing so hot health wise. Well, Dewayne and I traveled to all of the outlining or surrounding towns/counties to pass out resumes and introduce ourselves to the area. However some of the small little towns on the map in between like Atlanta, Athens, & Augusta were a little too rural for us! Here is one of the pics we couldn't resist taking; of a Semi truck trailor dropped off at this "don't blink of a town" general hospital. We were like really that is their imaging dept.? Sure enough we had to take a peek, it was fully equipted with CT, Xray, MRI, and yes ultrasound machines. This was 1 of 3 we found on our 3 day excursion. AMAZING! Crazy what this world will lease out now days!

Good Times in Georgia

The boys had a blast in Aunt Linette's pool!!

Dylan did so great swimming with out any floats this time

We made yummy pizzas with the family

here are the boys with their cousins Cade and Tristan just before coming home...
