Myrtle Beach
Katie and I successfully made the 8 hour trip there and back!! It was actually not that bad and Katie is a SUPER travel buddy. Mimi was able to ride back with us to Atlanta on their way to their new home in Columbus Georgia so that helped trememdously!! We had such a nice time with Mimi and Pop... we took full advantage of the water park, pool and beach while we were there. Katie did awesome with her swimming and was very brave in the ocean...even learning to boogie board on her new Hannah Montana boogie board thanks to Pop! We ate at Cheeburger in Paradise and enjoyed the chocolate nachos... yum and then hit Broadway at the Beach and Katie got to ride some kiddie rides. I am exhausted but am so glad that we were able to make the trip and allow Katie to spend some quality time with her Mimi and Pop. Ben has already asked when he gets to spend time with Mimi and Pop... Katie and Craig leave tomorrow to head to Fairhope so she can spend time with her Grandmama and her cousins... she is sooo excited about that too!

Look-a-Like Meter and other random thoughts
I found this sight on another blog and thought I would try it... I have to say that I totally disagree with their findings!! hee hee... I totally think that Katie is a definate Mattox thru and thru except for her sassy personality from whom we ALL know where she got that!!! And Ben... I agree he looks like Craig but I think he has alot of me in him too... so... anyways... it was a hoot to do it... What do ya'll think???
Bottom Line, I do have to say Craig and I are so blessed to have 2 HEALTHY, FUN and BEAUTIFUL children... Although exhausting, frustrating and stressful... Katie and Ben are definately my ultimate pride and joy. They really grow up so fast.
Katie and I just got back from running errands, getting our toes painted and eating lunch.. also getting some things for Father's Day... and what fun is she? She is a great shopping buddy... and I do love having a girl to hang out with... She is my girl..
And of course Ben... he is so darn cute... I know I am his mama... but he is sooo silly and makes me laugh alot...
Yesterday... Craig was tackeling the blinds in our house (putting in new ones) and was having a rough time to say the least (long story will share late) and Ben wanted to help daddy. So I am sitting in the other room and this is what I hear:
Craig: Ben hand me that piece right there
Ben: Dat one?
Craig: no, Ben that one
Ben: Dat one, daddy?
Craig: No, that one... the long one, Ben
Ben: Dat one?
Craig: ( in a slightly louder voice) NO BEN... that one there
Ben: DAT one, daddy?
at this point I went to find the missing piece...
Craig was doing a good job at being patient but it was hilarious!!!
a very sweet moment...
now I am off to the dentist... UGH!!!
