Well we had a very big few weeks starting on Memorial weekend. Phil, Philip and I went to the beach (St. Simons) with my family for a week and had an unbelievable time!! It started with Taps at Twilight in the village at the Pier where Philip got to remember and recognize our very own war vet, Daddy Buck, with his special brick in his honor! Philip loved the music and of course the dancing (what can I say he is a Buckler for sure)... and he really loved waving around all those little flags! We love you D.B. and you are with us always!! The week was followed with a fantastic beach vaca with my parents, Blake and sweet Lyd and by the end of it... I think Blake and Lyd were definitely ready to have a little one of their own... Philip was a little angel all week and such a riot at the pool and beach!
Happy Memorial Day!
WE love you Daddy Buck... his brick honoring his service at the Pier
DB's "Wonderboy" (as DB lovingly called Philip) sitting on his brick waving his flag... don't you know DB is one proud soldier in heaven today!

Hey mommy... look how tall I am now... I am even taller than daddy

And the flag continues to wave...

Hey Papa Doc... hand over the keys, I am ready to drive
Look at me dancing on the beach... (that must be that Buckler gene in me for sure - but I love it)!
Always smiling with my Gigi
I love getting big kisses from my Papa Doc...
... as do I love giving kisses to my Gigi (and do you think they ever tell me "no"... you guessed it, with my sweetness how could they?)!
Hey mommy, look how much I have grown
Just hanging out with my Papa Doc on the beach...
Hey mommy, look at me, I got this walking thing down!
Sandwich Kiss... Go!
Hey Gigi, check out these muscles
Life just doesn't get any better than this
Then we had a special weekend trip to Austin, Texas where we went to Boone and Avri's amazing wedding in Wimberly on a ranch! It was absolutely gorgeous and I just couldn't be more thrilled to get another SISTER!!! For a girl who grew up with just 2 brothers always dreaming of having sisters... I am surely blessed to now have 7 sweet girls I can call sister! Philip III sported a tuxedo of course and couldn't have looked any cuter although he didn't have his best weekend in Texas. He had a double ear infection which started, yes, right before our 14 hour travel day (6 of which were on a plane... which was awful as all you moms can imagine and to make matters worse, it was just me and him on the plane as Phil was meeting us in Dallas where Philip and I alone had an 8 hour layover in the airport... I mean what are you supposed to do with a toddler for eight hours in an airport... and yes, it was as awful as it sounds but needless to say we made it through the misery). So by the time we got to Austin, both Philip and I were as you can imagine... done! But the weekend was perfect and Avri and Boone were so in love... we couldn't be happier for the two of them! We love you Boone and Av's!!

My baby has turned into a toddler... I can't believe it!
Baby Hunter, Philip's first cousin
Cheese!!!!
Okay on the count of three, lets kiss... but dont tell anyone, afterall we have reputations to uphold here!
Of course I didn't get the memo for the "dress and boots" code for the rehearsal dinner, so we quickly went out in Wimberly, Texas to buy some boots... and this is what we found... AMAZING!
The amazing sunset at Boone and Avri's rehearsal dinner
The proudest groom to be I have ever seen... love you Boone!
And the happiest little boy in a TUX I have ever seen... love you Philip!
Am I good looking or what?!
And what about a Profile shot... this is what my uncle Ben taught me!
Congrats Aunt Avri and Uncle Boone...
This wedding rocks... literally!
The sister-in-laws all decorated the fab get-away car for Boone and Avri!
We all of course fell in love with the great job we had done
The gorgeous bride Avri awaiting her new groom Boone to get into their fabulous car!
Just Hitched!
Then the great weekend was followed by another fun week at our beachhouse in St. Simons only this time it was filled with Brosseaus! Ben, Danny and Diana, Meg, Chris and baby Hunter, Sam and Sarah and Phil, Philip and myself... it was a house full and was a blast. Phil's sweet parents, Grande and Mimi, were supposed to join us for the week but couldn't make it at the last minute... we missed them dearly but my parents were able to join us for a night which was great! We sunned on the beach, played with the kiddos in the ocean and the pool, built sandcastles in the sand, played bachi ball for endless hours, grilled out, had family dance offs in the den, went to fun dinners at The Frederica House and Gnats, had drinks at Sea Island's Cloister, ate Papa Doc's homemade biscuits (my dad's specialty) and of course went dancing at Ziggy's!! It was a great family vacation and we couldn't have had more fun! Philip absolutely loved every minute of his two week beach vaca as he was obsessed with the beach, loved building sandcastles, splashing in the ocean and most of all loved learning some new tricks from his uncles (afterall he does have 6 of them now).
The Brosseau clan at the Sea Island Cloister (minus Mimi and Grande (who couldn't make it) and Boone and Avri (who were on their honeymoon)... we missed yall for sure!
And now as I mentioned before, Philip has lots of uncles who just loved to teach him lots of things... so now let's take a quick look at some of Philip's newest talents...
Bud Light... does a body good!
Now is this how you hold it right before you shotgun it?!
Killed it... can I have another now please?!
And if you are going to switch me to Corona, can I at least get a fresh lime?
And of course the Brosseau uncles favorite new teaching... "Hail Hitler" (with a beer can I might add)... unbelievable... just remember boys, payback is twice as fun and twice as bad!
Still "Hailing Hitler" with my uncle Ben
Are we good looking beach bums or what?!
Swimming with my uncle Danny in the ocean... yeah, look no floaties!
Loving on my sweet aunts and cousin Hunter
Building sandcastles with my cousin Hunter and my daddy
Say Cheese!!!! We love the beach!
I love you daddy... can we stay here forever?
Phil and Ben getting ready to play some serious golf on Sea Island... sunscreen much?
Now what exactly can I put in here?!
How about all that water?
But, now how am I going to get all of that water in this small little bucket?!
I got a better idea... how about I get all of me in that water instead!
I am a Pure Genius... what can I say, I take after my mommy!
Dinner at the Frederica House (our favorite restaurant on the island)
Can we say awkward?
I love dancing with my mommy on the beach

Hey guys look at me, I am growing taller...

Splish Splash... I think this for sure counts as my daily bath... don't you?
Beach Bum
