Girl's Beach Trip


 At the beginning of April Denny had to be out of town for 3 weeks in a row. He came home for 1-2 days on the weekend, but that was it! It was a long 3 weeks:) When he told me that, I called my mom and asked her if she wanted to get away part of that time.....so we headed to the beach!
my arms are full and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Anytime you take these girlies anywhere, it's still a lot of work, but it was nice to have a break from the routine. It was a 7 hour road trip, but everyone did quite well! We left around 7am and drove to make it for late naps.
Kate's first time on the beach!


Macy Brooks was really fun! I swear she got braver by the MINUTE out in the ocean. At first she was running from the waves and the next she was wallering around in them.
Checking things out on the first day

We cooked for 2 nights and ate out 2 nights. Playing in the baby pool was our afternoon activity. I got in a lot of one on one time with MB, since mom enjoyed reading on the porch while Kate took her morning nap.
Kate likes to do her yoga on the beach while eating a teething biscuit. Love those thunder thighs!

 One fun thing we did on a cloudy morning was take a ferry and go to the aquarium. It was a fun experience. It was small, but perfect for our outing. Here's mom getting eaten by an alligator:)

my loves

oh yes friends, she can cry anywhere-even on the beach!


I love this baby so much!

she was trying not to smile and "be sad"

anything better than a ruffle butt under a pier on a gorgeous evening?

Daily Life

Just trying to remember what daily life was like many years from now:) I have a horrible memory! Sometimes the days are long around here, but the weeks and months are flying by. We laugh, learn and love everyday. I love staying home with these two girlies. Thanks Denny for working extra hard to make it happen!

Kate has her first bottom tooth. It came in a few days before turning 9 months. This is the face I get alot. She likes to rub her tongue over her new tooth. The second one isn't far behind.

Lazy mornings, talking on her kitchen phone while wearing cowgirl boots

Sitting on the kitchen counter. Kate still lives in this bumbo, since she can't stand to be in the living room alone!

Our first family movie night on the living room floor. We spread out a blanket, put on pj's and ate popcorn. We love Tangled!
