Family Beach Trip, Part 2

Just a few more beach pictures from our week away and then I am moving on! We spent the 2nd half of the week in Orange Beach. It was very relaxing and we did not do a whole lot which was great. We were all getting a little tired by the middle of the week anyway! So we rested and ate and enjoyed hanging out w/Shug (Nathan's mom.)

We put pigtails in Hayes' hair and she looked so big with them! Oh I love them so much! Her hair is getting longer and thicker so it's pretty easy to get them in now. So she had them everyday at the beach. I cannot believe she is 18 months already-crazy!


Boatwatching w/Daddy


On Saturday we went out on Nathan's Uncle Pat's boat. I had no idea how she would do being out there all day but she was such a trooper! She loved swimming in the water and even got her little feet down on the sand to play thanks to her Daddy and Grandaddy. Oh and the water was great, no oil that we could see!


Playing on the boat and eating her Ritz!


It was a great trip. The best part was being together and having Nathan all to ourselves for 10 whole days!!! I could get so used to having him w/us everyday!! He definitely gets a Daddy of the year award for all his hard work. He had all the big hot, heavy Daddy jobs-thank you Nathan for always putting us first and never complaining about anything-you're our hero!!
Also, we celebrated our 5 year anniversary while we were away. I love this man with all my heart. Each year just gets better and better! I love you, Nathan!! Happy Anniversary!! And thank you, LORD, for 5 wonderful years with my best friend and each day that we all get to spend together.


We are leaving tonight for a little late anniversary getaway (sans Hayes:) for 2 nights!! I'm so excited about not changing diapers and sleeping late!! But we'll miss our little munchkin.
Many thanks to Shug and Ann Carole for keeping Hayes for us!!
