Sleeping Beauties video

Another milestone reached

Yesterday, we moved Katie Jo from a semi big girl bed to an official big girl bed. She loves it and I love getting to finally use her comforter. She did very well sleeping in it last night! The dogs loved being able to hide under it. If you look close enough you can see a very little part of Lexi paw sticking out!

Our beach trip

Well we're back! We spent a glorious week at Surfside beach last week with my parents, Uncle Brian and Jay. We had the greatest weather ever, all week, and the girls had a fabulous time. We did nothing but play on the beach, eat, nap, play some more, and sleep. We didn't go anywhere except for breakfast twice at a pancake house and Sonic three times for milkshakes. It was the simple way to vacation and we came home with over 200 pictures! A lot of the pics are the same but sometimes the bathing suits change! The girls were so good and both enjoyed the sand and surf. I look forward to doing it again next summer. As soon as we got there Saturday afternoon KJ settled in to rest. We had a long trip that I won't get into the details of but rest assured we didn't make the same mistake on the way home!

Georgia became a champion walker this past week. She had a huge deck to practice on. I love this picture because it makes her feet look so small. It's amazing to see her teetering around on such petite feet!

The first night we got there we walked down to the beach. There were lots of people and it was fun because you could tell everyone had just gotten into town and were excited to be on the beach for vacation.
Katie Jo immediately ran around in the water.
And her dress came off. This pose reminds me of Forrest Gump!

Big jumper! My favorite shot of her is the one at the top of the blog!

Isn't this such a sweet picture of Georgia and Uncle Brian?

The first full day I didn't even take pics that morning. These are from the afternoon which was our favorite time to get out. No one was around and the sun wasn't so brutal.

These are from Day 3, Monday. Don't you love the sunglasses? Uncle B bought them for Georgia. She wore them a lot, surprisingly.

Daddy came in that afternoon to spend a couple of days with us.

Uncle B bought KJ a kite and she did such a good job flying it!


Isn't she such a good sister?

On Day 4, Tuesday Uncle B, Jay and I took KJ to the arcade. She loved this horse and rode it three times.

The girls were happy to dig a big hole and play in it. Katie Jo loved adding water. She had to wear her swim shirt a lot towards the end of the week since the sunscreen was starting to chap her skin.

I put all our videos together in this little montage with some music. It's about four and half minutes long.

Waterpark with Gran and the Girls

This past Monday Gran and Pop were in town. Pop had to spend the day in the office with Jay and Granddaddy so Gran, the girls, and I took off to Whirlin Waters. Jay and I could never decide to get a pass for the summer or not and now I know it's not. There is no way I could have handled the two girls on my own and Georgia really isn't old enough yet to enjoy it. Next summer we'll definitely get a pass though. Katie Jo was very timid which is not like her at all. She wouldn't do any of the slides and played in the sprinklers the most. There is a big jungle gym area with water coming out everywhere and at the top is a huge bucket that slowly fills with water. When it reaches capacity is turns over drenching the whole gym and everyone standing nearby with water. I didn't realize this and Katie Jo and I were walking around looking when all the kids started to scream. We got out of the way just in time but it scared the jiminy crickets out of Katie Jo. When that water came pouring down and splashing towards us I turned around and saw her running behind me like she was being chased by a tidal wave. Needless to say she didn't want to go near the jungle gym again but we had to sit on the chairs nearby and watch the bucket fill and spill about ten more times. She did find sprayers that you can turn and push up and down. She really liked those especially when Gran or I let her get us wet.

I couldn't get Georgia away from the bottom of this slide. She wanted to crawl in so badly. Look at that cute tush hanging out!
