Swimming at Grandma's!

So today Nicholas and I went over to grandma Shuff's for a little swim. I'll tell ya, for a little guy that hates baths, he sure likes the pool! After our little swimming adventure Midge, Bill, Christopher, & Patrick came over for burgers. Amber and Annabelle showed up after her dance recital dress rehearsal. Fun was had by all!

good morning

This is the cuteness that I walked in on yesterday morning.

P.S. Happy Birthday to Andrea!

A visit to the Purkey's house

Today Nicholas and I went to visit Lisa, Justin and their girls. Nicholas had a fabulous time and loved every minute of it! Those little ladies are just like their momma and daddy, for sure!

Visit to Julie's house

I'm a tad behind on this one, but Sunday Nicholas and I went to visit Julie Allen and family. While Barry and Sarah slaved away cleaning out their HUGE pond, Julie and I had some fun times in the cool air conditioning. It was great to catch up and just hang out for a while. Everyone at work was SUPER jealous that I got to see Julie 'freakin' Allen!

Here are pictures of the lovely scenery on the way to the thriving metropolis of Hopkinsville, KY

Watch out for those horse carriages.... I almost took a couple out!

7 Months old today!

Well folks, we've made it through seven months! My big announcement today is that Nicholas was taking a nap and woke up crying... then he was really quiet. When mom got to his room he was back asleep, passey in mouth. For those of you that are missing this point, here it is~~~~ HE PUT HIS OWN PASSEY BACK IN HIS MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!! ~~~~ I am too excited for words! This is huge! Now maybe every time that he wakes up he won't need me to run in there and put his passey back in his mouth! Happy 7 month birthday to me!
wow~ is this a little sad or what?!?!?!?
oh well, whatev! I'm excited!

back from the beach!

So we made it back from the beach in one piece! Sorry the blog didn't keep up with the fun, but the wireless wasn't the greatest at the condo. So here are just a few of the 200 pictures that were taken on our week of fun!

Nicholas livin' the life in his little beach bungalow!

Abby and Gavin after a day at the beach

Michelle singing "I want you to want me" at rockstar karaoke night at the swamp. You become the lead singer for a full band! She literally got out of her car and I talked her in to getting on the stage. It was fantastic!

Nicholas showed that shark who was boss!

Brittany and Bethany having too much fun with shrimps and crabs!

We didn't plan on matching, but the pic turned out pretty good!

So all in all we had a great time and I'll send out the obnoxious amount of pics on snapfish later for your viewing pleasure!

going to the beach...Day 1

So there's a big trip on the way! Mom, Ashely, Joey , Gavin, Bethany, Brittany, the entire Buehner clan, Michelle, and Nicholas and I are off to Fort Walton! We arrived today and got our condo 'tiny guys ready' and then it was off to the beach. Here are the pics from packing, the drive down, and the first day. So far, everyone's getting along well!
