Life's a BEACH!

One of our family's favorite things to do is go to the beach.... living in Florida and all, one would think it would get old but it never does. Whether they they are the white, sandy beaches of the gulf coast or the rougher waves of the east coast, we love the beach and the salty water ( not the sand in the swimsuit part) but almost every other part that goes with it.

My girls love the beach and the water. They have grown up around the water and on the days that it is not packed, they pretty much have free-rein. There isn't really anything they can't do. Cupcake is pretty brave and enjoys the boogie board now. Sweet Cheeks likes the boogie board too as long as it it wedged in the sand and doesn't really move. It is really pretty cute and it makes her happy!

So one of the highlights of our summer was the family beach trip up to South Carolina. We headed north and Nana, PawPaw, Uncle and Aunt Lisa headed south. We landed in a beach house and spent the week having a blast!

Here are a few pics:

I Can't Believe....

it has been a whole year since I last posted on the blog. It has been a busy year, but an INCREDIBLE year! We just celebrated one more year with Sweet Cheeks. She is now THREE years old and it seems like she has always been a part of our family. She is no longer a baby, although she will ALWAYS be my baby and I am pretty sure she knows that. On the flipside, I tell Cupcake the same thing and I am pretty sure she knows she will always be my baby, too.

Here are a few highlights from the past year: We have made several trips to West Virginia to visit family and friends, we decided to host an exchange student from China and she will be with us until June 2013, we went on a family beach vacation with Nana, Pawpaw, Uncle and Aunt Lisa, Sweet Cheeks started dance class and loves it, we went to West Virginia for Thanksgiving and had lots of family here for Christmas. Cupcake continues to do well in school.

Life is good.... no. Life is great and we are incredibly blessed!

Here are a few pics. Enjoy!
