June 2010 (written on August 20, 2010)

I am just so far behind on my blog that it is hard to get motivated again! So June and July will be mainly a picture update. That is all anyone really wants anyway, right?!

Well the month of June held lots of travel. We started June with a trip to Perdido Key, FL with my family. We had a great time swimming, laying on the beach, napping, eating, and just hanging out with the fam. We had a few tar balls that washed up one day but other than that it was beautiful. John Ashton enjoyed his first trip to the beach. We would take him down to the beach every morning for an hour or so and he would take his morning nap underneath the umbrella. He takes after his momma and loves to lounge by the ocean! He was a great little traveler.

We even got to celebrate Houston's 3rd Birthday! He is quite the cutie!

And we celebrated my parents' 40th Wedding Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! We love ya and hope you enjoy your trip this fall!

We were home a few days before heading to my parents to play with all the cousins again. My Aunt Shelley, my cousin Leanne, and her daughter Eden came to Mississippi to meet John Ashton and Campbell and to play with all the other cousins, of course. We had a great visit with them and John Ashton really enjoyed getting to know Eden. She is precious and was so sweet loving on the babies. I wish we all lived closer so that we could see them more often! Thanks for meeting us in MS Aunt Shelley and Leanne. We will have to do it again sometime.

We then came home to spend a few days, we fit in a 4 month well check up with our wonderful pediatrician, and even got to enjoy our small group at church a few times before we packed up and headed to Michigan for the month of July! It is a good thing our sweet little John Ashton is such a good traveler!
