Sleeping Babies, Puddles, and Taking Steps!

Adam was so sleepy this morning that he fell asleep eating his morning snack! :)

This was Adam the morning after my family left, very tired!
Allie also took a long nap that day. Something she doesn't do too often. She stole one of my Willow tree doll from the kitchen and took a nap with it. I guess it didn't matter to her that it was a wooden doll... not very comfortable to sleep with!
We got a big rain storm on Thursday that left our neighborhood with lots of big puddles! Allie and Brooklyn

Adam is now trying to walk - just taking a few steps at a time, but at least he's trying! :)

Happy 1st Birthday Blake!

One already! So hard to believe! Love you buddy, and hope one day we live a little closer so you and Adam can be best friends! Happy 1st Birthday!

Uncle Chris, Aunt Chelly, Allie and Adam

Happy 21st Birthday Ashleigh!

Happy Birthday Ash! It was lots of fun getting to spend the last few days with you (and all the rest of the fam)! Glad you were able to come! I thought I would post one of the best pics I got of you this week! :) What can I say, you're so photogenic! :) Love ya and hope you are having a safe trip home!

Chelly, Allie and Adam

Part 2!

All the kids!

Mom trying to enjoy her book... not sure how much she actually got to read! :( Sorry mom!


Ashleigh and Aimee's sand castle.
While Ash and Aimee were building their castle the rest of us took turns digging a hole for the kids to play in. There is Megan and Annah hard a work! :)

It was amazing how no one was on the beach this week. We were wondering if something was going on that no one bothered to tell us about. Like sharks.... :{
Ryleigh telling Adam something... she was very good at "mothering" him! :)

Back on the beach after the sun had gone down!
Look who thinks he's a big boy!

An Aimee creation!

Allie was told my Annah that she wasn't allowed out in the water alone... she wasn't so happy about it!
Some kind of BIG bug the kids found. I was dead, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to get Allie to hold it otherwise!
Getting cleaned off!

Erin's lodge

All of us minus my little ones who were sleeping.


On our way to dinner last night. Pizza and Subs at Michelangelo's!

Allie slept through dinner!

The girls having fun with my cam!



I love this one of Adam. He looks like he's actually smiling for the cam!

Aimee being silly!
More silly pics!

We miss you Chris! :(
Watching a movie before bed!
