Sunset on the Beach

The family and I went to my brother and his families home over in Stuart last weekend and we had such a great time! Our kids get along great and play well together.

After a day of fishing and swimming in the pool we drove to the beach, which is literally not even 5 min away, to catch the sunset. My sister-in-law has an awesome camera and she took these wonderful shots of the girls.

I'm Single

Alexis and I check the mail everyday because she loves opening the mailbox and taking out the mail for the day. Well yesterday we go out and there are two little boys playing catch on the street.

Me: Look Lexi your boyfriends.

Alexis: No Mama. (hands on hips) I'm single.

Where does this kid come up with these things. lol.

OMG...Glad he didn't kill me!

Matt and I have been thinking of ways to save money since gas prices suck lately. So we cut a little here and there on spending, including Matt's weekly haircuts. Instead he bought clippers and volunteered "me" to start giving him haircuts. Ummm #1 I have never even held clippers much less cut someones hair but, how hard could it be? The first few times I did pretty good. He even said I did a better job than the barber. So when he asked me to clip his hair this morning I was pretty confident on taking on the job. lol.

He sat down in the chair in front of me while I velcroed (is that a word?) the poncho thing- a-mah- bob onto him. I turned on the clippers and proceeded to cut the side of his hair. Little did I know I forgot to attach the #2 attachment comb. (Dough!) I put down the clippers and with hands over my mouth started screaming OMG! He jumped out of his seat and looked at himself in the mirror. He started yelling and saying he looked like a complete idiot now and if we clipped off all his hair he'd look like a skinhead. LMAO. I couldn't stop laughing. The side of his head litterally had a huge shaved chunk missing. How could I forget to attach the darn attachment. He was so mad and sat back down asking me to fix it. So I started to shave around his whole head laughing at the same time because I was doing a horrible job. Imagine what a bowl on your head would look like. lol Yup thats what it looked like. But thankfully, I was able to fade it in and it came out looking really good.

It was so funny too because while he was looking at himself in the mirror in the beginning, Alexis was asking him if he was going to cry like a little girl. lol. She can be a funny little booger sometimes.

Anyways I wish I would have taken a pic but I think I would have really ticked him off.

4th of July Surprise

My brother is in the Navy and is stationed in California. He called me the other day and said he was coming for a couple of weeks to visit and to keep it a secret. He was going to fly in on Thursday, the day before the 4th. My oldest brother was having a 4th of July party on the 4th and it would be a surprise for everyone. It was so hard to keep this secret because I talk with my mom every single day, so keeping it to myself was tough. Anyways, the day of the party I drop my brother off a house away from the party and called everyone out and told them I had a surprise for them. Erik, my brother walks up with his 3 year old little boy and everyone went crazy. It was such an awesome moment because nobody knew.

My mom, Erik, Angel, Alexis and my Dad.
