friday night fun

This would be a picture of my NOW THREE YEAR OLD who has decided that he's too old to take a nap. So, he falls asleep FIVE MINUTES before we are walking out the door to dinner with Shannon and Terry & Co. Getting ready to open his birthday gift.

Lightening McQueen basketball goal!!

Peyton riding the horse.

We all went for a little swim. It was awesome weather and the pool felt like bath water.

It's a bird...it's a plane....

We are proud of Mary E. Four weeks ago, she was afraid to even jump off the side of the pool! Now she's a little diving queen!

Scott was throwing Peyton up in the air UNTIL......

JP decided that was NOT acceptable!!! Not only do we not share toys, we don't share daddy either!

downtown

"Trouble 1" and "Trouble 2" eating lunch before heading downtown....

Not sure.....

Angela and I got to sit in a swing for a LONG time while the boys threw rocks into the water. It was so nice!

a few pre-birthday pics

This picture has absolutely NOTHING to do with his birthday. This is just my little weird boy dressed in painters tape! At least he's easy to entertain!! Kathi gave JP an early birthday present the other day at her house...

A Lightening McQueen jacket for school in the Fall! Ordered all the way from Disney Land, California!

She also gave him a bag full of CARS gidgets (sp?) to wear on his CROCS.

Aunt Rose came over this morning to give him a bag full '0 birthday gifts....

Watching his Homeward Bound DVD...

Reading about ELMO...

And the favorite of favorites??? You guessed it...BAND AIDS! That's my boy!

BJay and Holly have him Blue Mater from the movie.

His first, and I'm sure not last, sponge gun! (the dog will hate them for this one!)

Last but not least, a Lightening McQueen punching bag!

JP will turn three this Saturday. I cannot believe it! Thanks guys, for the early presents! You are all loved very much!

such a gentleman

Before you call DSS...I was standing with him the whole time. I just stepped back long enough to take this picture. He wanted to pump nanny's gas for her on the way home from the beach. I thought it was so cute!

more from pawley's island....(seriously out of order, sorry!)

Snack time! Larry Boy is ALWAYS in tow...

Lovin' from Aunt Lynne.

This was JP for about three hours every afternoon!

Me and mom!

home sweet home

After EIGHT long hours on the road (don't ask!) We are home!!! It feels really good! We had an awesome time at Pawley's Island, but JP and I both missed Scott.

Gone are the days of sitting in a chair on the beach and reading a book while JP entertains himself in the sand. He has discovered the ocean! Can you say, NO FEAR!?! The waves would knock him down and he would belly-laugh. It was so cute. He wore me out! We pretty much spent the morning on the beach. Napped back at the house with nanny while I enjoyed my book and the pool. It was a very relaxing week.

Here are just a few pictures. I will continue to post more throughout the week.

Jumping the waves all "by myself!"

We took him to Brookgreen Gardens to see the zoo there. This is Lynne holding him up to see the birds.

JP and nanny at the Point.

He loved chasing the seagulls.
