LEGOLAND!

 Legoland!!

 I got in this picture just so Anderson could be in it....little did I know that his head was turned around in every single picture.  Ha!

 Some character from Chima. Laval maybe?

 My husband, who is severely afraid of heights, braved this kiddie ride with Jake just to give him a hand in pulling that rope.

 My brilliant husband also took the boys to "Boating school," which Jake said is just like on Spongebob.

 Unfortunately, my husband, like Spongebob, failed boating school.

 Somehow, he managed to get this boat stuck and turned around the wrong way.

 After I nearly wet my pants laughing so hard, the boys finally got the boat turned around and headed in the right direction. :)

 Lego Darth Vader

 Chima characters again.  Seeing the alligator thing on the left (Crocker maybe?) was Walker's favorite part of the day.

 The boys also thought it was pretty cool to meet Emmet and Wyldstyle from the Lego Movie.

 Again, Anderson's head was turned around.

And this is the only one of the day with Anderson at least looking forward.

We scratched another thing off our Orlando to-do list with a trip to Legoland this week, and I have to admit, Legoland is one of my favorite theme parks!  Even during a peak time, it wasn't very crowded or too crazy; most of the rides had about a 5-15 minute wait.  Now, some of the rides were a little on the lame side, but the Summers boys thought they were awesome.  I would highly recommend Legoland if you head this way; it's such a nice break from Disney.  

Putt Putt and Fishing for Gators

Tyson's vacation is winding down, so we're trying to make the most of our time with him before football season hits (July 31 for us).  We still have so much to do at the new house and I so badly want to spend every chance I get with my mom, but these boys deserve some good ole family fun.  We've been swimming a lot, gone to the movies, gone bowling, and played putt putt.  We've had so much fun with Tyson; I sure am going to miss him these next 6-7 months.

Trip to Thomaston to See Mom

 The Grands!  Jake (6), Anderson (10 mos), Jace (5), Walker (4), and Gracie (2)

 Anderson playing with mom's oxygen tubing...cause that's safe, right?

 Walker with my mom

 Walker with Santa, who stays up year round in the basement just to scare you as you walk down to do laundry late at night in the pitch black.

 My Granddaddy with my Anderson

 My kids were obsessed with the slide.

My mom's parents :) And yes, I look disgusting.  I'm pretty sure I cried about 75% of that day.

Chillaxin in the shade.

We just got back from a trip to Thomaston, Ga to see my mom.  Sadly, it was the first time I've been to Thomaston since January of 2012 and even longer since Tyson has been there.  It was a very long drive, but we made it and I'm so glad we went.  Mom was feeling pretty puny and slept a good bit, but I cherish every minute we get with her.

We also got to see my grandparents while we were there.  My grandmother is really going downhill, but I'm glad my Granddaddy made the effort to come see us.  It's just a sad, sad situation all the way around right now. Between my mom and my grandma, I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest and stomped on.  Life will never be the same. :(

St. Simons: Part 2

Darth Anderson

Happy 4th of July!

My little spidey star.

Miss America

Tyson's best friend, Worth and his family.  The Summers boys do LOVE some Bowers girls.

The baby race.

And they're off!!  Well, Mack is. ;)

Anderson is gaining on him...

...until Jake pushes Anderson and makes him faceplant into the sand.

Mack wins!!

Anderson finishes the race.

Emma and Walker.

Bahaha!

A wagon ride on the beach.

My boys are obsessed with tie dye right now.

St. Simons: Part 1

 Why do my boys always appear happier when I'm not in the picture?

 See what I mean? Ha!

 Sweet baby got a little sunburned on his receding hairline the first day we were on the beach; the hat became a necessity thereafter.

 The Berrymans, Summers, and Bowers- our faux family.

 Tyson's best friend's son, Mack. He's two weeks older than Anderson and obviously has a lot more hair.  Anderson is a little envious of Mack's beautiful blond locks.

 Jake the boogy boarder.

 Me and my mama. :)

We just got back from our beach "vacation."  It was hardly a vacation, though.  Tyson had to drive back to Orlando to work one day, I drove back and forth to Thomaston to see about my mama, we drove to Ponte Vedra for a wedding over the weekend, I ended up in the ER with a kidney stone...I think Tyson, the boys, and I were only all together for about 3 whole days out of the 10 that we were there.  It was a change of scenery, nonetheless, and a break from reality.  Plus, we were surrounded by a beautiful beach, good friends and family, and yummy food.  It was pretty awesome, even with all the craziness.  I'll write more later; we just got home and I'm exhausted.  I hope everyone had a great week and 4th of July!
