Summer 2012...thus far.

Oh man have we been busy...or at least it feels like we've been busy.  The summer is flying by at a rate that feels faster than normal.  Thank goodness for iPhones or I'd have no record of where the time goes!  Here's "a little" photo collage of what life has been like for the Days lately.

It all began with a little graduation celebration!

Here's a little cutie named Wade (my great nephew!)

A little family girls trip to Destin.

 A new little LSU alumni!

 A little serenity by the sea.

  A little group shot

A little mug shot of my wonderful mom & I

A little of God's hand crafted beauty.

 A little lobster tail...

 A little Sunday worship on the beach

 A little shopping in Seaside



 A few strawberry mojitos

 A lot of joy reading

 Four dozen raw Apalachicola Bay oysters...
hands down the best I've ever had.

 Cheezin' with my sisters.

 Cheezin with my Ma.

Missing my Mom's coffee milk.


 A little Jordano's never hurt nobody

 A little Jaxy boy helping out with the dishes

 A little trip to the Bay

 A big  ol' steamed seafood platter

 A little "float-in" movie in the harbor.



 A little of life's happy joys.


 A little of nature's disaster leftovers.
(Nothing but the bank vault left of the Bay St. Louis National Bank.)

 A little shell hunting on the beach.

 A little one comes home for the summer.

 A little emergency at work.

A little late night OT.


 A little sleeping prince.

 A little Aqua Sand fun.

 A little back yard fun.



 A little R &R.

A little BFF sleepover.

 A little pool time at Poppy's & Willie's

 A little sunnin'.


 A little fishin' with a Mimi.

 A little dinner date with Mama Day.

A littler early morning wake-up callin'.

 A little car self-portrait.

 A little more Lego building.

 A little green toenail painting

 A little Ninjago action.

 And finally a little s'mores making with Aunt E.



Okay, so that was definitely not "A LITTLE" post!  I'll try to keep up better for the next half of the summer.  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer of 2012!

Derby de Mayo

Last weekend we celebrated Derby Day and Cinco de Mayo by throwing a "Derby de Mayo" party.  We had a great turnout, great food, great drinks, which all came together to equal a fabulous time!  Not to mention the race was fantastic, I love upsets!  40/1 odds, I mean really!?  It was like watching one of those tear jerking movies about racehorses, where the horse and jockey beat all the odds to win it all.  Drew said he totally would have picked "I'll Have Another" solely based on his name...not surprising....at all. :)  My pick Bodemeister faded at the end of the race and came in a heartbreakingly second place.  He set the 5th fastest pace in derby history...yet no horse has ever won the derby running the first half-mile in 45.4.  In face most of them collapse from exhaustion, but Bodemeister came in 2nd!  There is definitely something to be said about this horse, keep your eye on him if his owner decides to put him in the Preakness.



A big "Thank You!" to my love for totally embracing my Derby de Mayo idea 
and for helping me make it a success! 

Another "Thank You!" goes out to my friend Michelle for making my too cute for words party sign!
It was absolutely perfect!


Party prepping... 
I heart aprons!

 The Derby de Mayo hat....
One day I'll pick out THE Derby Hat!

(Shhh, don't tell my husband about the hottie in the towel taking my picture.)

 Erin's cookies.
Yes, she made them, she cut them out, she iced them, and she decorated them.
She's amazing...and she knows it.  ;)

I loved the mustache cookies!

Mint Julep station!
Thanks E, for my mint julep cup! 


 All of us ladies and our hats!



I love a good party, especially with good friends!
