Beach Trip June 2012

My awesome in-laws took us to Panama City for a few days in June.  The weather was gorgeous on the beach that week.  Clear water, steady breeze, and blue skies.  And I even got some time to play with the girls while Noah hung out under the umbrella with Dandy.  I think Dandy hated every minute of it. :)



We were able to walk to the beach from the condo which was a nice change from where we normally go.  I enjoyed a few moments laying out, reading a book while the girls played in the sand, and Noah slept in the room while Matt watched golf.  Win win.

This video is of nothing exciting.  It is only proof of my girls playing on their own (Leah is way in the background).  It doesnt happen often.

They made sand angels

and became mermaids

apparently with sand in her eye

and watched a really cool kite

took a nap

found seashells

They especially liked finding the live ones that would dig back down when the waves came.  Memories from my childhood.

went for a jog

played with their cousins in the gorgeous water

After the trip to PC ended I decided to take the kids to Destin.  There was no breeze, it was 108 degrees, and the water had jelly fish.  We played in the backyard jacuzzi for a few days.  

And they posed

and posed

and we did get a spur of the moment boat trip with my cousins! 

Overall great trip.  And sweet hannah even gave up her TV on the car ride home so her little brother could watch it.  Adding that 3rd child made the trip a bit longer!

I just had to post this.  I am learning that boys do have cute clothes.

Swim Test

The girls passed their swim test and were so excited about their green bands!  Leah passed it last year but Hannah just did not want to try.  She was very proud.  This is the first year I have allowed them to swim in the deep end without me.  Big girls.

Bumbo

I just think this blurry picture is cute - and it was his first time in his bumbo seat.  We did not use these with the girls because their little legs were so fat that they got stuck.  He does pretty well in it.

Its hard having two older sisters

Poor kid.  Always uses the pink hand me downs.  At least he has his own gender appropriate clothes



And Hannah is already dressing him up.  I knew it would happen.  At least its a blue bow.

Noah 1 month

Its so hard to believe how fast children grow.  The first month with Noah flew.  Heres my baby at a month (plus a week or two because I couldnt remember to take the picture when he was awake!)

  

Noah's Newborn Photoshoot

Thanks to Heather Ponder (ponderhill photography) we got some great pictures of Noah and the girls when he was 2 weeks old.
