Alabama/Florida trip

Ok folks...lots of pictures coming!
We made the 11 hour drive to Birmingham last Friday to visit my brother Ryan and his family. We are trying to make this a yearly trip to go to the beach. Brandie's parents have a house in Gulf Shores so it's a great place to meet. This year Brandie timed Wallace's baptism with us going down so we could be there...and because yours truly is precious Wallace's godmother.
We had a fantastic time. Went by too fast as usual, but we'll see them again for Thanksgiving!!


Blake and Cody posing before the baptism. Note Cody's GQ stance? This is his new thing. So funny.











The boys with cousin Cecelia. She loves them.














Me with Mr Wallace.















The priest pouring the Holy Water on Wallace's head. He whimpered a little but overall did fantastic!! Such a good baby.














Kent (the Godfather), Ryan, Wallace, me, and Bran














The Hunter clan














Cody and Wallace...the boys loved "baby Wallace"














We went to Gulf Shores on Sunday. The big boys went on a fishing expedition Monday, and then we hit the FloraBama that night.
Me and Brandie














Tadd and I














The four of us














Me, Ryan and Bran














On Tuesday we hit the beach!! The boys had been 2 other times when we visited--at age 10 months and 2 1/2. Obviously at those ages they couldn't really enjoy the beach and waves. But they LOVED it. They ran and jumped the waves forever!




























Cody buried himself in sand. He buried me too, but we didn't get a picture.














Blake and Uncle Ryan playing in the waves.














Miss Cecelia playing in the sand. She would have nothing to do with the ocean, and played contently in the sand the whole time we were there! Wallace stayed at the house with my mom.




























Precious little Wallace. He is definitely going to be big like his Daddy!! He's 10 months old and weighs 27 pounds! And he wears 18-24 month clothes. But he is such a sweet baby.














Silly cousins














Sunset at the house.














We had such a good time and can't wait to go again next year!!
