Birthday Cupcakes

Cupcakes Y'all is one of EG's favorite places so it was no surprise when she wanted to have her birthday party there.

It really is a cool place. Oh and they have the BEST coffee in the wiregrass!


There she is!


She traded the headband for a bakers hat and apron.


Surrounded by friends.


Getting decorating instructions.


Paying close attention.


Let the decorating begin!




She may have sampled the frosting. Maybe.


Maddie takes the most frosting used award. The most Ever.


The cupcake tree. Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuuu!


And then there were gifts.




This one's for you, Aunt Kathy.


I can't believe she's 6. Happy Birthday sweet EG!

Eglin AFB FamCamp

We made a trip to Eglin AFB last weekend and camped at the FamCamp. The campground wasn't nearly as nice as the one at Uchee Lake. There were nasty little weeds with pokey burrs that attached themselves to everything. Taking them out was quite the adventure too. Painful little things are covered in stabby spikes. That and the ticks...yeah, not my favorite camp ground.

We hiked through the burrs and ticks to the water where we found a TON of hermit crabs.


Brian showing EG a bunch of them. Shelby was interested too.


EG decided to gather up a few and get a better look.


"See mom"


Abigail thought this one was cool.


One the hunt.


The next morning we decided to head over to Destin to play on the "real beach"

I'm not sure if A is hugging EG or trying to keep her from jumping in the water :)






You've gotta love standing barefoot in the water in November.
