Griffith Beach Week

Andie loved seeing all of the pelicans fly over the beach every day. They are such gorgeous animals and it always amazes me to seem them fly in a pattern.

Just having some fun with Mama and Daddy.

We did a lot of playing but a lot of relaxing, too. I think these two are hilarious! Darrell got these.

This is Andie and her cousin Wyatt. Don't they look like an old married couple?? Haha.

The Cousins.

The little cousins. We had to take about 20 pictures to get this one...and we tried for several days. They had a blast playing together and learning how to share and get along.

Andie and Jesse reading a book.

Andie and her Mama G. Two beach bums if you ever saw some.

Andie LOVES the beach and the water. Here she is playing with Wyatt, trying to show him that it really is a fun place to play.

Our beach bucket became our swimming pool. All of the kids loved getting in and cooling down.

Swimming with Papa and Mama G. Andie wants you to just let her go out there, she just loves the water and thinks she can swim. She already kicks and blows bubbles and doesn't mind getting her face wet. We will definitely be learning to swim before next summer.

"Kick, Andie, kick!"

Just love that face and that belly!

More bucket chillin! I tell ya, she loves it.

What a wonderful week. It was so nice to stay in a house right on the beach, we could just walk out and walk right back for lunch and the right back out on the beach. A great ending to a wonderful summer. I can't believe our bug is 15 months old! She is such a joy and so wide open. I am sad to go back to work, we have had so much fun together. After her check up, I will write all that she is doing. Bye Bye Summer...until next year.

Summer Days

Our last weekend at the beach before the end of summer, we took some family pictures. They turned out so well. Thanks to Aunt Megan for taking all of the ones of the three of us. I just love Andie in this precious white dress. And love the site picnik.com that allows me to edit the photos and make them look professionally taken. I'm still learning. I will post more soon.

Organizer

So I hope this means that Andie will be more organized and tidy than her mother. Yesterday she took all of the baby food jars out of the cabinet and carried each one accross the kitchen to the table where she lined each jar up on the bench. It was so funny. I tried to get her to put them up, but she would have nothing to do with that. Even after I put them up, she pulled them out and lined them up again. I guess that means it's time to donate it all to LICS. Bye bye baby food.

We also are finally done with formula!! Andie will drink milk!!

Movie Stars!

Don't we look like a pair?

Fun with Friends

We had a great time visiting with our good friends the Fowlers a couple of weeks ago. They came over for dinner. The girls played and the adults conversed. The Fowler girls are like Andie's sisters. She loves playing with them. These are pictures of the girls...of course they don't always cooperate perfectly to take a group pic, but they are cute anyway. As you can see, there were hugs all around when they were leaving. Love yall Fowler Fam!

Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL??

Well, we are not ready for summer to be over, but we are getting ready for football season anyway. I just made this dress for Andie to wear at the Clemson games. I am new to sewing and am not very good yet, but am very proud of this dress. I think it turned out really cute so I just had to share! I will definitely post pictures of her in it cheering on her Tigers!

Happy 4th of July!

Is that a priceless look or what?

We celebrated the 4th by dressing up in our red, white, and blue and participating in the famous Edisto bike/golf cart parade!! I didn't get any pictures of the Richardson golf cart and participants, but it was a show for sure!
