Beautiful Beach Day!

The waves were so peaceful and the sound was ever so soothing! Days like this make you forget all your challenges and enjoy living so close to the coast.

It was great to feel the sand between our toes.

Sad reminder of what the wildfires left behind. This community was so wonderful in reaching out to all those who suffered loss though. It was great to see the support so many gave.

Nothing beats a Flip Flop kind of day!

David enjoying a little music as he walks our way.

Sure hoping our walks on the beach will shed our winter pounds away!

Day of Service - Myrtle Beach Ward

It was nice to do something good for the community today. The young men found lots of bags left on doors full of donated food.

Easter

Happy Birthday Floyd

My brother Floyd turned a half century April 9th. We stopped by to help him celebrate his day!

He got lots of cool presents so I guess it's not so bad to be so old!

He had a cake with black icing so everyone's mouth and tongue looked painted after a mouthful!

I made him a memory frame with photos of his baby days.

Seth and Carolyn loved his office and thought paper clips and rubber bands were tresures. They also liked playing a cool game on his computer.

Spring Break

Our first stop was a visit to see Chloe.

She is such a sweet baby!

David stayed in Columbia to spend time with his siblings and we brought back our Grandbailey's

We enjoyed our little visit with Kristen and Chloe. We are so glad that Kristen is feeling good again . ( We hope Chloe inherits her Mom's pretty smile!) We missed seeing Jared b/c he was at work.

We were glad to see Will and wish him good luck as he set off for his first day at his new job.

Baby chloe was so cute snoozing on her bobby pillow

She was wearing her darling outfit picked out by Sarah Beth

Seth likes that at Grammy and Granddaddy's everynight is movie night!

Carolyn loves staying in her pj's all morning

Kaitlyn thinks life is always better with a few snacks!

Carolyn and Granddaddy warm up with a little Tom and Jerry

Natalie loved playing with her Momma's old Carolina cheerleader doll

( She insisted the doll have her picture made)

Seth and Grandaddy sneak off the loft to play a game without the girls.

Kaitlyn and Natalie with their cup of morning moo- Kaitlyn must have chocolate and Natalie must have white.
