A Beach Day with Gramma

It was the most gorgeous November beach day so we took gramma to the beach and just goofed off. Just a little bit:)

It was fun watching these two interact and pose. They were hamming it up all on their own.


Mommy and her girls


Daddy and his baby....so sweet!

Me and my mommie
Gramma and the babes

They had a blast running and jumping off the the sand bar
Gramma won the contest for the highest jump

What is this icky squishy stuff anyway?

Laura was crawling towards the water, but still far away and Alayna was in the protective mood and was saying "oh no momma, Laura's gonna sink" and I said she'd be ok, but she took it upon herself to carry her to safety.

Gramma Dennice gave Bradley a metal detector so him and gramma Cathy were excited to give it a try. It kept beeping and we would try to find the treasure, but didn't have any success.



Gramma comes to town

Gramma Cathy came to visit us for 3 1/2 weeks and it was a huge blessing having her with us. We had such a fun time with her. There was a whole lot of lovin and spoilin going on for sure. We just hung out and took each day as it came. We enjoyed our morning coffee chats, our thrift store/garage sale treasures and adventures. Mom was on a mission most days. She was such a huge help with the kids, cleaning, projects. She transformed Alayna's room into a princess room including painting all her furniture. Added shelves to the playroom closet,(she is officially called the tool belt diva around here) she shampooed my carpets. A great big thank you mom for all you do and make it seem effortless!


Me and the girls picked her up from the airport in the morning so this was the first time Bradley had seen her when he got off the bus after school. It was fun surprising him with her! We hadn't seen her since Christmas.

Giddy up Gram!

Not sure how grannie handles all the torture! She assures us she's made of iron and I don't doubt that!


Snuggle time by the fire

Princess and the Peanut

Aw yes, our daily dressing up. She was on a snow white kick forever and then she went to Cinderella. Wonder who's next? Hmmm....I hope my prince will find me with my other glass slipper.



Yes, there are days that Alayna is very sweet with her sister and I just soak it in because on other days she's yelling "MOMMY, Laura is getting my stuff and by the time I get in there to save the pet shop village Alayna has already taken it upon herself to carry her away and literally drop Laura on her belly at my feet. Poor kid!

Wow, she's sharing a leaf with her....how sweet I sarcastically think.:-0

Some Fall Fun

Just some good old fashioned fall fun!
