Kiawah 20015

Hello gorgeous Kiawah!! We are so glad to see you! ;)

 This year I forgot my camera…go figure! So my pictures are from my iPhone…at least I didn't forget my phone! We still captured some good memories and had a blast!

my three little mermaids

I loved getting to spend the week with this little ray of sunshine! Oh how cute and cuddly little Miss caroline was.

MC loved trying to make Caroline laugh

The girls were super excited to get to hold Caroline! Here they are carefully holding on;) :

Mc liked to "pet" cAroline…like a cat. I wonder if she purred.

John and Kim continued their tradition of taking each niece/nephew out for ice cream. Our girls looooooove their one-on-one time with John and Kim

both so serious...

sweet MC

doing what Papa and daddy do best, dig at the beach!

What a great week we had! I can't wait until next year….and I WILL bring my camera! ;)

4th of July

This year for the 4th of July, we all gathered in Richmond at my parents. It was so fun to have everyone together! Mom and dad's neighborhood had a parade where the kids could decorate their bikes and then we'd all march down the street. Mom and Dad were able to find some bikes they could keep at their house for when the grandkids visited, so all we had to do was decorate. The kids had a blast wrapping the bikes with streamers, bows and "sparkling stars".

MC was so excited there was a bike her size!

aaaaaand, they're off!

of course it's not a real the 4th of July celebration until you have watermelon!

these two…seriously, they are crazy together. Here they are playing doctor.

What a fun weekend we all had!
