We quickly learned that if you live in Houston, in March you RODEO. We took it to the extreme this year when we scored not just one but 3 sets of tickets on opening day! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our first Rodeo started out as a total soaker. Dad was with us and we were seeing Alan Jackson! Dad has always been a big fan of his and let's face it, he's a top 40 kinda guy! We can sing every song of his. We parked and began the 2 mile walk to the midway. It began to rain and when I say rain I really mean POUR and fill your boots with water. Lillian was in the stroller and we thought we were sheltering her but it turns out, the stroller cover was just soaking her more. When we made it to the livestock show arena, it had subsided raining but we were still wet. We took a few to dry out and wring out our hair. </div>

Then, we headed inside to catch the Rodeo which we quickly learned in years past, is actually the best part (aside from all the fried foods)! We love the bull riding and bareback. We sit on the edge of our seats for the chuck wagon races and we laugh and laugh as the teenagers try to tackle pool little calves in the 4H calf scramble! The pinnacle of all Rodeo's is the mutton bustin'. That's where ten 5-6 year olds are placed on the back of a sheep as it kamikaze runs to the other end of the arena. It was certainly Lincoln's cup of tea when he was old enough. I can't see Lillian enjoying it as most of the little girls wind up thrown off and crying before its over. Occasionally one makes it all the way across and comes up crying or with a look of sheer terror as the crowd goes wild for the child who held onto the<strike> bull</strike>, er sheep!</div>

Onto the main event, Alan Jackson didn't disappoint! He sung all of this best songs and didn't try to bore anyone with "new" music! Heck, he's probably too old to worry about new stuff and he's satisfied with his previous top 40 chart toppers! </div>

The third and finally rodeo trip was the closing day of Rodeo Houston. We had tickets with Jason's parents and they ended up not being able to make the show due to rain and closed interstates. Houston flooding problems. So we hit the rodeo one last time and this time, we didn't fool with that 2 mile walk from the parking lot. We got us a pedal tax and let one poor guy pull our entire family on the back of a bicycle. He's got stronger legs than I do! It was a fun ride anyway!</div>

The Big Birthday Bash weekend culminated on Saturday for Lillian's party. It was what ALLL the prep had led up to. I planned for weeks and worked on decorations while neglecting my house for days on end. My entourage that flew in was GREAT for helping me party prep. I was so thankful they were there. </div>

This was my masterpiece. It's a "dream catcher" of sorts made from doilies from BOTH of my grandmothers. I worked on it for several weeks, sewed, tied, and strung it up. I even went into an unnamed park to "borrow" the branch for the top. Transporting it proved to be tricky but I LOVE how it turned out and it now proudly hangs in her bedroom! I love decor that has meaning!</div>

This was my other brain child. This "maypole" was a pinterest item I managed to pull off. It was another labor of love as I had to use old thrift sheets as the ribbons to make them long enough, I even sewed them together. It turned out so cute and the girls LOVED the maypole. So much so, I kept it and hope to have a mommy and me mayple party one day! </div>

This little banner has made a birthday party debut for the last 3 years. I made it for Lillian's first birthday party and it was a pinterest project turned EXPENSIVE! After I made it, I kissed her little head and told her she would have to use it for every birthday party until she turned 16. So far I've kept my promise! </div>

In the small town of Bellville, TX there is a bakery called Newmans. The bakery owner built himself a castle in the woods to live in. He built it himself over the last 10 years. It's available for tours and is lots of fun. With your tour is a bakery lunch included. </div>

At the end of the tour "King" Newman, tells a story to the children of his trip to Ireland and meeting a tiny leprechaun who gave him some magic gold nuggets to give away in his castle. He's clearly told the story hundreds of times as the children were mesmerized. They loved their "gold" they picked from his tiny treasure chest. We left feeling like we were party of his royal family. It was very neat that no parts of the tour were considered "off limits" including the Kings sleeping quarters. The kids loved checking out the "royal throne" aka, bathroom! We hope to return to the castle again when we have new "royal guests" to bring.</div>

The castle has a working bell tower that you can climb to the top of. From below, you can pull the rope and ring the bell but it's LOUD to anyone that is climbing in the tower. Of course Lincoln scaled to the top and I went to follow him but I could only get to the second window before I had to come back down. Why do you get afraid of heights as an adult? </div>

When you only turn 3 once, you bring in your WHOLE entourage! We had an EPIC big birthday weekend planned. We kicked it off by picking up Nana, and Aunt Janie from the airport, quickly followed by Tracie and our favorite cousin Allie Gray! Now that we had most of our people in tow, we headed down to Memorial City for the girls first trip to the American Doll Store. </div>

After lunch the girls ran around in the town green. They were the cutest little dolls in the village with their American girl doll and knee socks! We had to go home and get the boys from school and also gear up for Day 2 of Epic Big Birthday Weekend! Turning 3 was turning out to be exhausting!</div>

Lady Lillian woke up a 3 year old to a room full of balloons blown up by her dad, brothers and I! We all laughed about how special she is treated as we all continued to blow up balloon after balloon and quietly tip toed them up to her room while she was sleeping. We all raced up the stairs to be the first to tell her happy birthday as well! We planned to go to a fancy little doughnut shop that has been getting rave reviews!</div>

Her boys weren't sad about our little donut run either. In all honesty, we were all pretty happy. Jason and I were delighted with our breakfast egg roll as well. It's made fresh to order and full of eggs, sausage and cheese all deep fried into deliciousness. </div>

The day couldn't be passed by without making our annual picture. I love how this little birthday set Miss Marie got us has grown with us each year. I think it will still work another year or two, if she will let me. It shouldn't be hard with a cupcake in front of her.</div>

Jack isn't technically MY best friend. He's Jasons and has been since high school. But...Jack is the guy responsible for all of the above^^! Jack was a friend of mine in college. Once when we were hanging out, he said, "you need to meet my best friend, ya'll would be perfect together."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't think he quite knew how right he was! It was a few months later when I finally met his best friend but when I did I knew in a moment that he was SO right!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was an honor to be a part of the celebration of Jack finding the one he'd be perfect with!</div>

Fredricksburg is a cute little German town with wineries you can walk to door to door among other touristy shops and restaurants. We spent the evening there since we could walk from our hotel. </div>

The next day was Sunday and since the wineries opened a little later, we made a pit stop in Luckenbach, Texas. It wasn't quite what I would have expected but now we can say we have been! </div>

Next stop was the most famous and likely our favorite winery. Grape Creek is one of the largest in Fredricksburg. We took the tour of the grounds and learned a bit about their wine making processes before going to the tasting room to sample a few of their latest blends. </div>

It's the day after Christmas. It's also 88 degrees. Everyone has the day off and we have literally shopped till we dropped. Living in South Texas gives us the luxury to choose to go the beach for the day. With Nana and Pawpaw in tow, we packed the car and cooler and headed to Galveston, oh Galveston! </div>

We stopped at our favorite resturant waiting for the intense fog to burn off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We took the ferry over to Crystal Beach where we could drive on the beach. The fog didn't burn off. It got worse! It was so think you could barely see your hand in front of your face. It didn't phase us one single bit. I wasn't really planning on Lillian swimming but I should have known you can't take a kid to water and NOT let them swim. Isn't that some old saying or someting...</div>

It isn't Christmas without a little Criddle and Twinkle to sprinkle a little magic and mischief into the season! The kids are always thrilled when the elves show up and make breakfast. This year was a little later than in years past, I think they got hung up making some last minute toys in the North Pole and had to work a little overtime. </div>
When they came, they brought breakfast for both the kids AND themselves. They brought tiny little elf sized donuts that were a big hit among the deFoor kids. <br />

The elves were clearly overworked in the North Pole this season and their daily antics showed their lack of motivation sometimes. They are also getting on up in age and we all know how things slow down when you are over 30 (in elf years of course).</div>

Yep, he had to make one appearance this season. Lillian knew better than to touch the elves. She did it anyway and Lincoln was devastated. See, Lincoln remembers what happens when you touch the elves and he was trying to protect sweet Lillian. He's a mean one. Mr. Grinch.<br />

The elves brought their pet reindeer to stay with us this season as well. The best part of it is he CAN be touched. Lincoln and Lillian took turns sleeping with him. He left the same night as the elves but we hope he will come back with them again next year. He was soft and cuddly.</div>

I really loved this! Even the elves think I'm pretty cool. This was after I helped the trio build their gingerbread house and decorated it even more after they went to sleep! I'm happy to see the elves noticed my effort and gave me a personal shout out in Candy! I'm gonna bet Jason would disagree with them many times but it's written in elf candy, I ROCK! </div>

After the fun at the museum came to an end, we went to story time at wendy's. We have been visiting storytime at Wendy's since shortly after I moved here. Most of the time Lincoln was home with me before Kinder, we could be found here on Tuesdays. Miss Marina has been doing this story time for LOTS of years. It's never very crowded and it's the best value in town. She paints their faces, makes balloon animals and reads them a story in her VERY dramatic voices. She also has the coolest toys she brings for them to play with (read: old Wendy's kids meal toys) They are far superior to Lillians' toys at home aparently! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All for FREE! Yes, Free.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids meals are also $2 each and that includes a free frosty. Yeah, best deal in town. If you are local, join us sometime! We are always looking for company!</div>

Yes, it's a THING.</div>

We celebrate Christmas nearly all year long but it doesn't have to be a hot second after thanksgiving before we start wearing all our Christmas attire. As people would comment on my social media posts of her numbered days of Christmas dresses, Jason said "you know, that's not really something to be proud of. A dress for every day of Christmas is a little much!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Does he simply not know who he married or did he underestimate the extent of my love for children's fashion? Either way Christmas and girls dresses are MY happy place. And I'm not alone. There's a whole group of women who join me every December in dressing their stylish offspring to celebrate the 25 days of Christmas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At my house it's not uncommon to hear Christmas music in July but we try to keep the fashion until at least the end of November. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you need proof there is more just check out #25daysofchristmas or #25daysofbstchristmas.</div>

We are working on a bucket list item. It's actually the bucket list of Jason's Uncle Ron but we kinda adopted it as our own as well. Sorta like they adopted Jason and I as their "kids" years ago when we were poor college students. They are also responsible for THIS friendship. It's "THE ONE". It's the friendship that last ALL the years and ALL the miles. It's the one you can take on vacation, not just once but every other year to be exact! Its the one that even if we don't talk for MONTHS, stands the test of time and silence. And its mutual. The guys are equally as compatible. Back to the bucketlist...<br />
For the first time EVER we hired a babysitter for the WEEKEND and left the kids to travel 9 hours to Arkansas for the Alabama game. We are attempting to visit every SEC stadium. Checking Razorback country off the list!<br />
I don't think we had quite considered the intensity of a 9 hour drive in just a matter of 3 days. We left when it was 80 degrees. We got to Arkansas and it had dropped into the 40s!<br />
We booked a VRBO house that was walking distance to most things. The trade-off was that it had ONE bathroom for 6 people. We decided we could make it work. It was interesting at first moving into someone's home for the weekend but we made ourselves at home quickly!<br />

Just after breakfast and a couple rounds of mimosas, we headed out for a little pre-game! Our first stop was the Shotz bar. We had the run of the place and we made a party of it! The bar was famous for their shot glasses made of ice. You took your choice shot and then slammed the glass onto the floor and watched it shatter and melt! It proved to be quite fun actually!</div>

It was one cold Friday in January. Lillian and I didn't have anywhere to be so all that was on the agenda was FUN. And FUN was had. We started the day dressed as Minnie mouse and kicked it off with a breakfast tea party. A small pool served as the water reservoir to keep spills at bay. Maggie (our American Girl) joined us. We had some raspberries left over from breakfast and we used a porcelain tea set Jason's grandmother gave Lillian. </div>

I always say Lillian is like the mad hatter when she pours us "tea". She pours it to the top and she just keeps going. Never mind it spilling over her fingers and onto the towel.</div>

After the fancy tea party was over, we moved onto science experiments. It started with one box of corn starch. It was created by adding water to it and turning it into a slimy gooey mess. It was so messy that it needed the safety of the pool AND the bathroom! </div>

She quickly saw the value of being in the bathroom and commenced covering herself in said goo. Luckily I was excused from all my daily duties during Fun Friday! My boss let me have the day off from Laundry, making beds or even putting on regular clothes. The work attire for Fun Friday was pajamas! </div>

In September, Jason and I took our bi-yearly adult trip with our best friends to somewhere amazing and tropical! It's essential to our marriage to try and take that trip every other year. This year, we had waited until September to get the room we wanted. It meant the boys were in school and we had to ask dad to come out and stay with them. I never really thought twice about asking him and booked him a flight soon after we booked ours! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most people were enamored that my DAD could handle my THREE kids for an entire 7 days alone! (oh and there's also a small dog thrown in the mix!) I didn't even flinch at the thought. I knew he could handle them. I knew they would love it and I knew he would love it more! He's pretty special and I love them getting to spend time with him. I do feel lucky(and jealous) that he made staying a week with 3 kids look so easy! I'm not sure I can do the same and I am their MOTHER! </div>

It was as if God painted this beautiful sky as a reward for us rising to serve him! The boys and I participated in our church's Serving Saturday by joining in the mobile food pantry. We did it last year as well and the boys were excited to participate again. I love seeing them excited about having a purpose! They both jumped in to help organize the snacks. They somehow found themselves in the prepackaged snacks department. Which is surprising considering how healthy they eat at home! But really, mama tries. I really do!!<br />

With help, they sorted this mountain of snacks for the people that were waiting. Some families had been waiting for their turn since 6am! I'm so happy that the boys have opportunities to see and help those less fortunate than we are. As we prayed for the families we were reminded that we weren't here to judge them by the kind of car they drove or what they were wearing. We don't know what it's like to walk a day in their shoes. We were only there in love to serve those who showed up!! </div>

All the way back in May, Lillian and I busted out of "the bubble" (otherwise known as The Woodlands) for a little girls trip to the zoo downtown. We met her BFF Chloe there too! The girls were so excited and it's their first trip to the zoo where they really "Got it" and enjoyed seeing the animals. They ran and giggled like little girls do! We packed a picnic lunch and ate early. We knew it was going to heat up and the crowd was sure to pick up as well. We are no fools, we know better than to be caught downtown in rush hour and that can start as early as 3pm sometimes! If I've learned anything in Houston it's my way around the HOV lanes! I can get to them from almost anywhere and its insanely gratifying to drive right by traffic that's at a full stop for miles and miles! </div>

I had the genius idea to host Lincoln's birthday party at a park after school. He wanted to invite his WHOLE class and I know how hard it is to have a birthday party commitment EVERY weekend. So on Thursday afternoon, all of his class was invited to the park for an ice cream party! As the afternoon approached, the thunderstorms were forecasted to keep getting worse. I had several worried mothers call me and ask if we still planned to party. With 3 gallons of ice cream and 200 water balloons, I had NO indoor backup plan. (Nope! Not my house!) </div>

There was a small, and I do mean SMALL break in the lightening and we let the kids have at the 200 water balloons that I had pre-filled. I envisioned them picking them up and tossing them a few at a time but Noooooooo, I said Go and within 30 seconds every single balloon was smashed into a shred of latex on the ground. I guess it was a really fun 30 seconds!</div>

This is Amy. You've never met a sweeter southern soul than hers. I've know her basically all my life. We grew up cousins, living nearby in the same small town. We spent lots of holidays at extended family gatherings. In all the years I've known her I've never heard her utter a harsh word. She is always eloquent and graceful and someone to look up to. Never more so than now. </div>

Amy is fighting a battle with stage 4 melanoma. She's walking bravely down an uncertain path and is constantly giving all the glory to her God. She's had some ups and downs. She is currently in a clinical trial group at MD Anderson <strike>Cancer</strike> Center. It requires her to travel to Houston bi-weekly for a YEAR. Living in Alabama, those trips to Houston are tough. On one of her trips, we got the honor of meeting her for lunch! Along with another cousin of them family who recently moved to Texas , we picked her up and took her on a lunch outing, for ice cream and to the grocery store to pick up a few necessities. I had my little arm candy with me for the ride! She was our entertainment for sure. She steals the show. She wore her superhero dress for Amy! She flew around with her cape fighting the good fight just like Amy is! </div>

We had a wonderful visit and we vow to stand with her and fight alongside her in this journey to KICK the Cancer! </div>

We are Amy's Army!</div>

We all know that Texas is perpetual summer. There are 4 seasons, slightly different that other places. There is almost summer, mid-summer, still summer and Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We wound up the end of Summer 2016 with pool visits with friends 3 days a week, a trip to the Shack and a Concert in the rain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Shack is a quirky burger joint in Cypress that boasts of their junkyard playground and eclectic burgers with fried eggs, plantains or cheetos on top to suit your fancy. They had me at fried egg.</div>

I was peer pressured into buying some Gwen Staffani lawn tickets way back in the spring (aka almost summer) and as the date drew closer, people started dropping like flies. Well, I wasn't one to let me $20 groupon ticket go to waste so I was IN. Girls night without the kids, how bad could it be?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BAD! It was HOT because it was still Summer in Texas but it was also pouring down rain. I wavered a few times but unlike Lauren below, I stood my (muddy) ground! I have never in my life been so happy to have been wearing my rain boots. My flip flop friends were slip sliding all over the place and some even ended up barefoot in this muck. I suddenly knew what Woodstock felt like minus all the drugs and free love!</div>

Jackson moved over to the big kids side of the school in 5th grade, complete with his own locker! Lincoln ended up getting Jackson's 2nd grade teacher and he was thrilled to have the same one! Lillian thought the locker was her personal playhouse with mini door. </div>

The first day came quickly and while no one said they were ready for summer to be over, I think it was a nice change for everyone! Lillian was sad to see them go but she settled into having mommy to herself quite well! She waves goodbye from the door and says "ugga muga" from Daniel Tiger. She also waits for them to return each afternoon. </div>

Is it just me or is it quite the oxymoron that this book is called "Princess Baby" yet the one who checked it out and ripped it into tiny pieces is anything but a princess? She begged me to read this book in her bed. It was her favorite. So I was astonished to come in to get her from nap and see that she had destroyed the public library book. There was no recovery from this princess baby, the book had to be replaced. </div>

On our way back from our Alabama summer vacation, we stopped overnight in Arkansas to break up the trip and to visit some sweet friends! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rachael is my "closet friend". No, that doesn't mean we keep our friendship a secret. We met in a world of little girls clothing "closets". We buy our girls the same dresses (see above) and our love for all boutique clothing has led to a friendship that goes well beyond clothes! The girls are close in age and we share milestones, wins and failures, and advice of all kinds. We talk mostly online but occasionally text too. It's the best kind of friendship with low expectations of the other because we know how busy life with a family can be. We talk about family stuff, keep secrets and sometimes get lucky enough to share a drink or two! </div>

When we said goodbye in August, I wasn't aware that I'd be seeing her again in less than 6 months. On the morning my grandfather passed away, i texted her and asked what she was doing later. She joked "Why, you coming to Arkansas?" Actually, I was. I stopped overnight coming and going to the funeral in Alabama so I didn't have to make the whole drive in one day. She dropped everything she had going on and made sure we had a bed to sleep in as we traveled! I was so grateful for the hospitality both times! That's a good friend!</div>

Just before we left Alabama for the summer, we had a chance to go to a princess tea party! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thinking it was all for the little girls we bought tickets and dressed the part. It turns out, this tea party had a little something for everyone. While grown up Disney princes and princesses roamed around the room, we were schooled by Miss Manners herself. A graduate of finishing school she educated us on all the appropriate behaviors of a proper tea party! Did you know that high tea simply refers to the height of the table you are having tea on? Did you know that you should enter from the left side of your chair and only after the host is seated? Stirring the tea should be done in a figure eight without clanking the sides of the glass.</div>

Jamie Lynn and the boyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11723208398359116122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616088007192032193.post-64336269552766109402016-12-25T16:18:00.003-05:002016-12-25T16:18:05.017-05:00Battling Backlog: Bloggers BlockHow does one even begin to write about all that has happened in the last 6 months? I've had the most severe case of bloggers block. I would suspect that it has something to do with the resident 2 year old along with her housemates. Also, it seems the longer since you've written makes it easier or should I say more daunting to put your words on the screen. I've gone to the trouble of reading blogs ON bloggers block hoping for some inspiration. I have 10, yes TEN drafts of blogs with the photos in place but I can't seem to press publish. <br />
In some of the peptalks I've been having with myself I made a mental notes about how my kids on a regular basis pick up my blog books and read over them. (Even if they are just reading them to find my spelling or grammatical errors.) Maybe one day I'll have an editor in the family to help with that! <br />
Some of the best advice I read was to set a timer for 9 minutes, go for a walk and take your camera, make a top ten list and talk about something you're looking forward to.<br />
Some of the advice I wasn't so sure about was Tell a secret, talk about your body, do something that makes you feel uncomfortable and write about something that scares you. <br />
<br />
Then it hit me. All of this writing is my nemesis because it forces vulnerability. Not all the time, especially since my blog is mostly family and kids memoirs. But writing in MY voice is vulnerable and it's something I struggle HARD with. I was once posed this question. <br />
<br />
What does vulnerability mean to you?<br />
<br />
I had one word. <br />
Weakness. <br />
To me, vulnerability was totally synonymous with weakness and weak wasn't a quality I was brought up to display. <br />
<br />
I then went into a somewhat life changing nose dive into a world where vulnerability could possibly mean more. If I watched Berne Brown's Ted Talk once, I watched it a thousand times. I loved her and I hated her. I kinda still do. <br />
<br />
She says<br />
<br />
<h1 class="quoteText" style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.”</h1>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "merriweather"; font-size: 20px;">"We either own our stories (even the messy ones), or we stand outside of them—denying our vulnerabilities and imperfections, orphaning the parts of us that don’t fit in with who/what we think we’re supposed to be, and hustling for other people’s approval of our worthiness. Perfectionism is exhausting because hustling is exhausting. It’s a never-ending performance."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "merriweather"; font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "merriweather"; font-size: 20px;">"Rather than sitting on the sidelines and hurling judgment and advice, we must dare to show up and let ourselves be seen. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly"</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "merriweather"; font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"Vulnerability is the last thing I want you to see in me, but the first thing I look for in you."</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"To claim the truths about who we are, where we come from, what we believe, and the very imperfect nature of our lives, we have to be willing to give ourselves a break and appreciate the beauty of our cracks or imperfections."</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Her quotes on vulnerability never cease to convict me. It challenges me in the same way back blogging 6 months of life does. But it's just as important. Here's to being MORE vulnerability and ok with less than perfect because in essence, it's what we all want. Greater connection, belonging and vulnerability. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you've never listened to this ted talk, DO IT! Its inspiring and eye opening and quite possibly life changing.</div>

We spent an AMAZING 3 days in Rosemary Beach with my family! It came QUICKLY on the heels of our Costa Rica trip but it proved equally as fun and never a dull moment! We packed into the rental like a can of sardines. We had every bed and floor space covered with kids and luggage. You'd have thought we were moving in for the semester at LEAST! We ladies don't like to forget anything. We had been planning photos shoots and coordinating clothing for weeks on end. The girls needed to match at every opportunity and they certainly did! </div>

For the photo shoots, it's July in Florida. The temps were topping mid 100's on any given day. When it was just kids starring in the show, I was just a minor melting mess in my workout clothes. When WE were involved in the shoot, it was an EPIC all in MELTDOWN. I felt a little like the wicked witch when water was thrown on her. I was MEEELLLLLTTTING! While the pictures don't prove it, photographing these 5 is not for the faint of heart! It's like a 3 ring circus. Literally. Mom is the ring leader, she's the one with the camera! Tracie and I are her trusty assistants in herding our kittens while they bite and scratch at us. That place is truly beautiful to photograph though. The white sand, the sunsets and the architecture is amazing! Bucket list held photos of the girls in THESE amazing blue and gold dresses. I bought this one when Lillian was only 7 months with photos like these in mind, I knew it would one day be beach perfect and so it was! </div>

Alys Beach is an amazing spot like none other on 30A. It has a distinctive Mediterranean feel. Lucky for us it was walking distance from Rosemary. Each little community on 30A has it's own charm, town center and activities for the week. We were close enough to enjoy them both at Rosemary and Alys! </div>

It was a trip to see Tracie and I haul ALLLLLLLL that stuff down to the beach. It was about 3-4 blocks from the ocean and while it's walkable, it doesn't mean easy! We had a tent, 4 chairs, an umbrella, a pool and pump, buckets, sand toys and boogie boards. And as you'd guess once we got it down there and all set up, the kids wanted to go to the pool! Some days it would rain and we'd be caught in it trying to disassemble all our gear. It was humorous to see from afar, just not so much as being the one doing the work. </div>

Then there was THIS. This is what the beach looked like on Tuesday morning. We had set up our whole posse in the 50ft of beach they allow "personal umbrellas" to be placed on. We had 4 chairs, an umbrella and toys spread out. There were 2 kids digging a hole, 1 building a sand castle and one attempting a sandcastle destruction mission. (One guess where Baby Wyatt was at this time!{Tracie's lap.})</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of a sudden less that 10ft away, large umbrellas were being swept into the air by a micro burst of wind on the beach. Dad had the quick mind to GRAB ours while mom, Tracie and I LAID on top of kids. I mean we literally pushed them into the sand with our bodies as the umbrellas and a tent next to us was vaulted into the air around 30ft. Yes, 30ft! As quickly as it swept through it was gone leaving people running to our area of the beach to rescue us and grab the stray umbrellas and make sure no one had been impaled. These were heavy duty umbrellas with large wooden handles flying around. The lifeguard said he'd never seen anything like it as long as he's been there. Only one minor injury to the girl next to us as the pop up tent they had grazed the side of her head. Lots of people came to check on us and the kids but we were all perfectly fine except for Allie Gray's terror of what had just happened. It's not something that we will likely forget anytime soon. It came and went SO quickly! </div>

Then there was what might have been the most terrifying moments of my life. We were wrapping up a fantastic day at the beach. The babies had all been carted off to naptime and Dad and Jackson had wandered off somewhere. Lincoln was left with Tracie and I and he'd been in the ocean playing in the waves as we sat on the shore. He went in to rinse off one last time (playing in the waves along the way) while Tracie and I packed up ALLLLLLLL the stuff we carted to the beach. It usually took us more than one trip even to get it all loaded back onto the stroller and ready to roll. As we were folding the last of the stuff, I went to recruit Lincoln to help carry things for us. We looked for him to yell and didn't see him. I went into the water while Tracie stood on the beach. It didn't take long for a little panic to set in. I was yelling in the water and Tracie on the beach. I kept looking out further and even under the water bc he's a fish and sometimes doesn't stay on top of the water long. No answer from him quickly led to full on <strike>screaming psychopath</strike> PANICKED MOMMA in the water as I yelled and screamed for him telling everyone that I saw to look for my 7 year old wearing a NAVY shirt. Tracie was also in Panic mode asking everyone on the beach to help her look for her nephew. I was shaking, yelling and my heart was beating beyond my chest. I was honestly afraid I may never see Lincoln again! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then Tracie thought to run up the boardwalk to check there, we had checked the beach (along with everyone else on Rosemary at the time), we had everyone in the water on high alert. By the time she got to the top, she could see him, there at the gate. He was holding the door for others to get through. She told him he better RUN down to the beach and tell his Momma he was ok. When I saw him I was flooded with emotion. He knew what he'd done and immediately apologized. I physically sobbed for a few minutes after that and needed to sit down to collect myself before resuming packing up our beach situation. I'm almost certain he never left my sight the rest of the trip.</div>

I might spend a week in a tiny beach house with these crazies, but there's no way I'd wanna be locked up in a jail house with them. I'd have to break out! </div>

Late one evening in June, I bribed these three to join me at The Woodlands, East Shore neighborhood for a little photo sesh. It's a lakeside neighborhood full of houses the size of HOTELS. It will make your jaw drop and walking around is beauty at every turn. I found this perfect little path earlier in the week and knew it was going to be magical. This dress. Oh this dress, I bought it when Lillian was around 7 months old. I knew she wouldn't wear it until 2 but it would be PERFECT and so it was! As soon as I put it on her she said, "I tincess, tincess onion (princess lillian)". As she twirled around and held up the gold tassels, my heart melted into a puddle of mommy love! It was everything I had hoped for on her and even her brothers loved her in it! (They kinda love her in anything!)</div>
