Bye, bye pull ups…
Nathan is officially an underwear boy as we have taken away the pull ups that he was wearing during the night. We noticed he was not wetting the pull ups and also pee’ing a lot in his potty in the morning so we decided it was time to take them away. Also, I was getting… >> View Post
Hit Lamberts on way home… oh, yum!
We had originally planned on hitting Lamberts (home of the throwed rolls) on our way to Gulf Shores, as there is one in Foley. However, we decided to visit the one is Sikeston, Missouri (2 hours away from St. Louis), because we had never been to that one AND we’d be driving past it right… >> View Post
SeaNSuds, Hope’s Cheesecake, Sweet Home Cheese and Oyster Company
Well, I was all ready to write about our last day in Gulf Shores last night, but the internet connection was low at the condo, so I am writing about it tonight. We are actually on our way home now and staying overnight in Mississippi. Our last day in Gulf Shores was a rainy one,… >> View Post
Alligator Farm, Wales West Railway and Eats
Today I wanted to take Nathan to the Wales West Railway, because I saw on their website that they offer train rides from 10-5pm daily. However, we got there at 10:30am, and there was noone in site and it was closed. This place is a little strange as it has train rides, but it is… >> View Post
Ship, Sub, Condo, Beach, Pool (and, in that order…)
We decided to hit the USS Battleship since it was on the way to our condo in Alabama. Here is a view of the tunnel that we drove through on our way to the ship… Propellor to the ship HUGE. This photo turned out neat. Here we are infront of the battleship I really enjoyed… >> View Post
On our way…

Water Party at Grandpa and Ma’s
My mom found ALL kinds of water play things at Walgreens for really cheap and decided to make her back yard into a water park for Nathan and Auttie! We also celebrated my birthday and my brother’s birthday (our birthdays at 8 days apart)! First we ate… Autumn had sliced up watermelon and cherries for… >> View Post
Bubble Pizza
I actually made this ‘bubble pizza’ last weekend, and I finally had a chance to download the pictures off of my old camera. I have a couple of other recipes to share with all of my blog friends in the next week. I decided to try the ‘bubble pizza’ recipe because the ladies on the… >> View Post
White Rodger’s Community Center playground
Well, guess what? It is in the mid-80’s again in St. Louis… so, we went to the White Rodger’s Communty Center playground which is a 2 minute drive from my parents house. There is a small playground and I thought that Nathan would enjoy blowing off some steam. It didn’t take long for Nathan to… >> View Post
Wordless Wednesday and New Camera
Loving this new camera– my pool pictures are no longer green, and it makes brown eyes look so radiant. Love it! Except, I somehow got it stuck on continuous picture mode during the swim class, and… wow, it can take 3 pictures a second! Just amazing… Earn Amazon giftcards by searching the web with Swagbucks!
