Cancer Society Characters for a Cure

The 4 Claytons attended the Characters for a Cure breakfast at Mint and boy did we have fun. There were so many Disney characters and Princesses there I couldn't possible post all of the pictures!


Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White and Belle....


Woody and Mickey and Minnie, Donald and Dasiy and Buzz










Airele escorted us to the parking lot and Haze told her, "we'll see you in Disney World this Christmas!"

And, I looked at Kyle and he said, " I guess she will. This was a blast!"

Jackson Prep Patriots are the BEST!

Elizabeth Haze is finally old enough to attend Cheer Camp at Jackson Prep! These pictures speak for themselves.....She had an absolute blast!

First Day at First Pres

Elizabeth Haze is starting Kindgarten at First Pres Day School and all 4 Claytons are so excited....well, 3 are really excited, and the other 1 WANTS to be, but he misses seeing his sister at school everyday.

The night before Kindergarten.....


Mommy and Daddy's first day happy....a First Pres uniform for Lucy!



Pure Joy when Lucy woke her up to get her ready for her first day!


Heading downtown....little man is not too thrilled about going to school in different cars


Here we are!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haze sweetly told me that today was HER day and she wanted to wear a ponytail instead of a bow.


Love at first sight at First Pres....Mrs. Parker and EH



Mrs. Stack and EH....


I spent so much time trying to prepare Haze, I forgot what an emotional wreck I might be! I managed to hold the tears back until I reached the parking lot...then I lost it!

One final Hoo-Rah to the Beach before School Starts

Kyle surprised the kids and I with one last trip to the Grand! It was so much fun to have one last hoorah away before Haze begins real school!


Our little fireman....


Sibling time in the fountain pool....


Gorgemous....


Beautimous....


We only left the hotel property once...a quick trip to the Fairhope Toy store and to get a little grub at the Fly Creek Cafe. This place has become like a second home to us. We just love it here! Now back home to prepare for our first year of school!

Chicago and my BIG birthday

This was the year of the BIG 40 for me and Kyle kicked off the summer celebration with a trip to Chicago for just the two of us. We stayed at the Four Seasons and were absolutely spoiled from the moment we arrived to our suite overlooking Michigan Avenue (shoutout to my old roommate Terri Tabor for the upgrade). We had so much fun touring, eating and shopping. It was a great present and we had a wonderful time.







On my actual birthday, we had a small family gathering at our house (I was on call) with take out Amerigo's and a house FULL of 40 presents!!!!! It was a wonderful surprise.




My parents went all out and the kids were sooooo excited because I needed tons of help opening all the loot.
