Summer!

It's been a busy month, not for home improvements (those haven't happened since year one), but for some more exciting things. The beginning of the month started by being blessed with our first nephew, Nathan James McDowell. We love him so much!

After Nathan was born, Derek came home, and we went on the Tom and Dan cruise. The Tom and Dan Show is a podcast that Derek listens to. We have never been on a radio show cruise before, and it was AWESOME!!!!! It was great to meet a group of people with the same sense of humor as us, and who all wanted to have a great time (see also: get wasted all day every day). The demographic was nice too. It was pretty much all married couples in their late 20s-30s (most also had kids, but not everyone can be as awesome as us). There were many PG-13-R moments, so I'll show you the pictures of the PG stuff.

Yup, that's all the PG pictures, lol. It was a great time!

This month was also special because my brother graduated high school- as valedictorian no less!!!! He is a super genius and will go so far. I am so proud of him!


Preschool Graduation and High School Graduation

Alas, May can only mean one thing. The thermometer confirms what the kids (and their teachers) have been waiting for- it's summer! This is how I should always be...

Bikini, floppy hat, sunglasses, tube, and a drink- it's like my Florida girl uniform, and summer is my time to rock it as often as possible (Attention all pool owners who are in need of friends- call me! I'm always up for a pool day!). I'm ready for this summer and all the fun it has to offer. See you in the (your?) pool!
