Annual Harrison Beach Trip!

Our annual Harrison family vacation to Panama City is always so much fun! This year we had over 40 people for the week and had a blast! It is so much fun for the kids to spend time with their grandparents and cousins...there is nothing like a big family! Anna Caitlin loves hanging out with Peyton and Raylie and Drew was so excited to play with Hayden and Brandon!

This year, we took the Rivera family with us. We warned them in advance that this would be very different than their past vacations :) They had a blast with everyone and we hope they go again next year!



Both Anna Caitlin and Drew loved the ocean this year! Anna Caitlin loved going way out in the waves. That is a great thing about so many people...there is always someone willing to go out and swim with the kiddos! Drew loved playing in the waves close to the shore where he could ride them in. As always, both of them loved the pool...especially the hot tub! They don't care that it is 100 degrees outside...the still love to hang out in the hot water!



Joshua was not a huge fan of the sand or the ocean, but he hung in there pretty well. He would go down in the mornings and then spend the afternoons napping and playing in the condo with Baby Trey and Mama Judi. So, he was very happy!


One of our favorite traditions in Panama City is going to Margaritaville for dinner. The kids absolutely LOVE the people on stilts who make balloons for them. And Mommy and Ms. Melanie enjoy the yummy drinks!



We also love going to eat at Boondocks. The kids love to check out the crab traps and see what is in there. And as always, the food is great! We love our vacation week!



My sweet babies on the beach...

Poor Joshua...always scared what his brother and sister are going to do to him...

Sweet cousins...

Yes, this is normal behavior on the Harrison beach trip...

Dance Recital!!

Anna Caitlin has loved taking Jazz, and has done really well. She dances throughout the house on a regular basis and loves shaking her bootie!! Ms. Christina was an awesome teacher and Anna Caitlin has had a blast!

Her class danced to Supergirl in their annual recital and had the cutest costumes...they looked just like Rainbow Brite :)) She was so cute and really enjoyed getting up on stage performing. She has come so far with her shyness from when she started dance a couple of years ago!

Grammie and Granddaddy suprised her with roses after the recital, so she was very excited about that! She also got to watch her friend Rylee dance, so she enjoyed that. They are going to be in the same class next year and taking hip hop. Should be fun to watch!!

Anna Caitlin's End of Year Party

I cannot believe that Anna Caitlin's Kindergaten year is over. She has had such a wonderful year and has grown up so much. It is hard to believe that she will be a big first grader in August!

Ms. Nix and Ms. Foster have been the best teachers EVER! And we absolutely love Ford! Anna Caitlin has made some great friends and has enjoyed every minute. She was actually sad that this was going to be her last week of school and that summer would be starting.



Anna Caitlin is fantastic at writing. She loves to read and is reading well above grade level. Her favorite books are Junie B. Jones. She is a good artist and loves to do projects for school with her daddy. She is also good at math and is adding and subtracting.

I have nothing but good things to say about this school year and hope all the rest are as great as this one has been. As Ms. Foster says, "Anna Caitlin just loves life!"

Anna Caitlin's Field Day

Anna Caitlin had her very first field day this year. When I was a kid, I LOVED field day. It was the highlight of the whole school year. This one definitely did not disappoint us.



Anna Caitlin had a blast at field day. They had tons of relay races and games to play and it was a beautiful day! Anna Caitlin's ver favorite activity was Tug of War. Her team was pretty good and won too! She had such a good day!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is always such a special day. I am so very blessed and thankful for my wonderful mom who is always there for me. I am also so blessed to be a mom to three amazing children. There is nothing I love more than being a mom. My babies mean the world to me and their smiles light up my whole life. I cherish each and every day I spend with them.



This year, we celebrated Mother's Day at Shanna and Brent's house with a Fish Fry. It was so yummy and always fun to spend time with everyone. My precious babies (and hubby) gave me a Pandora birthstone charm for each of my children, which I love! We gave mom a photo book of our wonderful trip to Disney, which she loved! It was such a great day!
