seashells by the seashore

 

 

 

The storm is uncovering LOTS of really cool shells! Look what we have found!

Tropical Storm Fay

 

I know everyone has been worried about the tropical storm that is heading this way so I wanted to give you an update on how we're doing. We are under a tropical storm warning and they are expecting 10-12 inches of rain. The winds are getting really strong. There is a whistling sound in our condo that sounds like a jet taking off because of the wind coming through the crakes in the door. They have taken everything off the beach and put out the red flags. They also closed the pool and put up all of those chairs. We tried to walk down to the beach but the sand is blowing so bad that it feels like razors hitting your legs. We are planning on leaving in the morning unless it gets worse.

Captain Carter

 

We all went on a dolpin cruise last night and it was so neat! The kids loved it. The dolpins would come right up to the side of the boat and ride in the waves. Then they all got to take turns driving the boat!

Picture Perfect

It took a little while but we finally got some great pictures. When I look at these it makes me laugh because I know what all happened before we got these. Carter was running from the camera (the usual!), Lainey was terrified of being put down in the sand, Parker only wanted to role in the sand, and Peyton is just way to cool for all of this!! There was yelling, bribing, and then-- the smiles!

Sand or Shower?

I don't know, she hates them both!! But, she sure does have a cute, dimply hiney!

CRABS

Look at what Parker found today! Isn't that awesome! (He's not alive!)

Sun, Sand, and Surf

We are having so much fun on our vacation (now!). Lainey was sick and crying ever since Sunday but this morning we finally figured out what was wrong. She was completely constipated! BAD! I won't go into it on the blog but just know she is fine now and here is the first picture I got of her smiling!

The only bad thing now is that she hates the sand. But, we are working on that and she's getting a little better. Today we took her down to the beach and Aunt Bibi made recliners in the sand for her and Peyton. That was golden!

Parker and Carter have had so much fun together!! They have not fought or separated at all! I am tickled to death about that! Look how cute they are together!

The boys are so funny because they just won't stop to rest, so today Parker came in for a snack and this is how we found him!

I just have one more to show before I go to bed because everyone is asleep but me! I just love this one of Carter. How sweet is he?!

First Day of School

It's back to school time!! Yeah! I think I am the only one feeling that good about it. As you can see neither one of them was excited this morning! They both cried but did fine after I was gone. The pictures aren't great but they are the way our life is!



But, here they are happy with their after school treat! Ring pops! (or lolli-lolli's as Lainey calls them!)

And, I just had to post this one because I think it is just funny! When I picked her up today she had her name on her back and on her diapers. I don't know why that makes me laugh!

my heart in a picture (part 2)

Here are the rest of the pictures that I took of Carter and Lainey! This is a post for the grandparents! I know your going to love it! I know they are mine, but aren't they the cutest?!

my heart in a picture

Tonight was so beautiful! We are having the best weather and I really wanted to get some pictures of the kids. I haven't gone through them all yet but I knew I was going to love this one of Lainey when I took it. I just love the light around her face and the little drops of light on the grass. My favorite part is how focused she is on her dress. She is really getting into the whole looking pretty thing! I look at this and my heart melts! I will post more when I get them all finished. -- Good night!

Cousins

Lincoln and Lena are moble, curious, and cousins! These two are so fast now that their parents hadn't been able to get any pictures of them together yet. We had alot of fun together trying to get the right shot or just anything of them together! But when all else fails, put them in a spot were they can't move! (Although, Lena is trying to make a move!)

Hayden and "Chewie"

Meet Hayden and her little bear Chewie! She absolutely loves her little bear. I loved how he was in a lot of the pictures with her because he is definitely a special member of their family!! This picture just gets me every time I look at it. That age of just learning to stand and getting on their tip-toes to reach as far as they possibly can for things! I just love it! Thank you, Hayden for being so much fun tonight!

Meet Meyer

Meyer was so much fun to photograph! I was so comfortable with him because he was just like my kids, busy and has to see everything. He would run from one place to the other just wanting us to chase him! But, I did get him to be still for a second! Oh, the cuteness!
