So happy that spring break brought nice sunny weather. Mom came down to help me watch my Bailey grands while Beth and Rob and David took a trip to Utah. We had fun in the sun at the beach, played in the pool, watched Tangled over and over and danced, shopped, dyed Easter eggs, enjoyed rocking on the porch and having Libbi and her twins come down and play.
Alee loved wearing my pink cap. ( Her mom said she has never liked hats so I guess she discovered they really are great for those sunny beach visits.)
Kaitlyn would stay at the beach all day and never go home. She loves the ocean and the sand and everything about the beach! A southern little lady for sure:)
Grandma loved the water as much as the children. She was a great Lifeguard. No one was allowed past her in the ocean.
A quick photo before washing all the sand away.
The girls loved their princess night gowns that the Easter bunny delivered a few days early.
Grandma and her grands and great grands enjoyed the pool.
I better get busy rubbing on my tan so I won't look so pale next to my sister who had already visited her tanning salon.

David and I enjoyed a quick trip to visit Jacob and Brittany in their new home. We celebrated Brittany's birthday a day early and Brittany just out did herself making us wonderful meals and yummy chocolate chocolate cookies.
We enjoyed playing scrabble while Jacob and David did double time watching Carolina baseball.
I love lazy summer days. Looking forward to more summer adventures to come.
Kristen and Chloe ready to play in the sand.
Nothing like watching the waves.
Chloe didn't seem to mind the freezing water. She kept going back for more!
She was the only one of us brave enough to get soaked.
Chloe liked the water better than playing in the sand. She 
I forgot to take pics of everyone in their Sunday best but I did get Will and David to take one with me since it was Mother's Day. Will just got glasses.
David is almost the tallest my children. We will have to see if he passes Jared.
Happy Birthday to Chloe
She loved blowing out the candles. We had to do it twice!
YAY!!
Jared picked Sunday dinner and wanted homemade apple pie and icecream to celebrate his day.
Chloe wanted to blow out her Daddy's candles too.
She liked the birthday hat too.
and by Sunday Chloe finally had partied out!!!!
David had wonderful big brothers to follow as he made his way to Eagle. Glad Jacob could share the day with him.
Representative and friend Allen Clemmons was the speaker at the ceremony.
So grateful for all the wonderful things Boy Scouts has taught my boys.
Thankful for Grand leaders like Brother Jordan.
Grammy time is the best time:)
