Paxton has arrived!

My younger brother, Scott, and his wife, Jana, welcomed their baby boy into the world yesterday at 11:55am. His name is Paxton Louis Floyd. He weighed 8 pounds, 14 oz and 20 inches long. He is healthy and doing great! Mommy is doing great also. Our family is very excited to have our newest baby boy. This makes the 5th grandson for my parents - no girls (yet!). Here is a couple of pictures of the cutie-pie....
He just had his bath and they brought him back looking like a little glow-worm! :)
Congratulations, Scott & Jana! We already love Paxton so much. Dylan is calling him "my baby cousin Paxton". I can't wait for Dylan and Maddox to meet him!

We're back home....with LOTS of pictures!

So, we just got home on Saturday night from a whole week at the beach. We had so much fun, just relaxing and spending some much needed time with each other. Russell's parents and two of his nieces, Chelsea and Megan, joined us for the 1st part of the week. We had SO much fun hanging out with them! Then from Wednesday to Saturday it was just us four. Of course, I have a picture overload, as I like to call my blog. We went to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. It is just outside of Destin. Very pretty, but we had to walk LOTS of stairs up and down to the beach. But overall, very nice beach and we liked the beach house (that is what Dylan called it).


Maddox wasn't so sure of the beach. He didn't like that his feet sucked down in the sand each time a wave came through. But he got used to it pretty quick and had a great time....

This is a picture of Russell's dad & mom with the grandkids.


One of the only real smiles Dylan gave me while taking pictures. This was taken while playing putt-putt golf. He's such a cutie!


Daddy and his boys...Dylan and Maddox have on the beach outfits that my friend, Dana Fain, made for them. I thought they were adorable!!



Mommy and her lil' angels!



Enjoying the sunset....



Finally got a good one, not punching each other...lol!



The next few pics were of our last night. We went walking around Seaside (a little town nearby) lots of little shops and restaurants along the beach. We had so much fun. We ate at Bud & Ally's, we sat outside on the deck beside the beach - it was great - live band, the boys LOVED it!


He was totally excited about his shirt having a "D" on it!


Brotherly Love

Where did August go?

Hello everyone, just letting anyone who follows my blog know that I am still here but we have been crazy busy! I am currently on vacation with my family in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. We have been having a BLAST so check back for lots of pictures! When I logged on, I couldn't believe my last post was July 26, what happened to the month of August? I can't believe it is already August 21!!! I have enjoyed slowing down this week, enjoying my family, and not worrying about keeping up with the fast-paced life we all have. So, we are driving home tomorrow and I will be uploading lots of fun beach pictures. Hope everyone has had a great week (or month actually)! ;)
