Memorial Day and a Getaway

We headed to the Lake on Wednesday to get an early start to the weekend and to see Keith since he was working in the area. This was the first time we have been to the lake since Sawyer started walking and lets just say its a whole new adventure! He loves anything that is near danger. It's as if he has a radar or something!! His favorite thing to do was go up and down the rock stairs and to walk near the edge of the pier. We finally decided to make a make shift barricade with the porch furniture to keep Mr. Explorer contained. The water was a little chilly at first but felt great once you got used to it especially since it was in the 90's! We enjoyed riding in the boat and Keith took Sawyer for his first ride on the Waverunner. He loved it!! This is the beginning of all the fun times we will have, especially when he learns how to ski and go ride on the intertube.

New lake shoes!!

Here he is with Keith or Kenzie's (not sure which) Pound Puppy. Remember those? It's so sweet when he grabs it and cuddles it with his head on it.

Ready for a boat ride!

Taylor got to come down and spend a few days at my parent's place. He had so much fun and loved to tell me about trying to catch Oskar the fish. He played so well with Sawyer and even shared his Star Wars Light Saber, now that's love!

Jeff grilled some Jalepeno poppers and chicken wings. Yum.

Meme had to get her Sawyer fix.



       We celebrated Papa D's Birthday with grilling out steaks and a yummy strawberry shortcake trifle

                          Blowing Baabouz! Thats how he says bubbles and its the cutest.thing.ever.

My favorite time of day.

I snapped this pic last weekend in our backyard. He loves his new lawn mower!

This past week I got to tag along with Keith to Sandestin. He was there to work at a conference for Emergency Room Doctors and Nurses. Keith worked a lot and got to meet people and medical related companies from all over the Southeast. The last night there they had a casino night complete with a Poker Tournament, Craps table, and Black Jack. I even beat Keith in the Poker Tournament! :)

This was the longest we have left Sawyer and it was bittersweet. I was looking forward to having some alone time with Keith but it was hard to leave him. Honey and Papa D kept him for us and she sent me the cutest videos and pictures to keep me updated. When I went to go pick him up he lit up and I got the sweetest hug ever.

The water was absolutely beautiful.

I saw this sign while driving down 30-A one afternoon. Notice the sign for Sawyer Art?

I ate lunch at this quaint little restaurant in Santa Rosa Beach and it was delicious. I orginally drove to Seaside but the parking was awful and it was way too crowded. The lady working there recommended the Fish Tacos and they were divine. They also had a Pepper Jelly Vinigarette dressing with the salad that was yummo! Keith and I also did the whole "tourist" thing and ate at Red Bar but its just sooo good and worth the 45 minute wait to sit outside on the back porch on a cool night. We had a really nice waiter named Landon and we both fell in love with his name. Maybe for #2? We told him that and he said we should do the middle name, Jagger. He was a surfer dude needless to say. :)

One last pic, ahhhh. It will probably be a while before we go back so I had to end with a beautiful shot of the water.
