Where has the summer gone??




Our summer seems to have just flown by!! We were lucky enough to get to go on two vacations this summer. First we went to Hilton Head with the Allison's and then to Montana with the Hill's. Both were great trips and James loved both places. Between traveling he has been busy playing, find treasures, swimming, digging in the dirt, jumping in puddles, learning how to ride his tricycle, talking, talking, talking, seeing how high he can jump off of everything, collecting rocks in every possible pocket, and laughing through it all! We hope that you enjoy the updated pictures of our little guy. Hope that all is well with everyone!!

Big Sky!!

James loved exploring Ousel Falls. There were rocks, so he was happy!! Thanks again Gran and Bandpa for a great week!!

A camping we will go!!

While we were in MT we went camping at Cliff Lake. Everyone had a great time and, as you will see from the pictures, James loved playing in the dirt!! All of the kids had a great time canoing, hiking, eating smores, and playing together.

Hilton Head

We went to Hilton Head this summer with Chad's parents and had a great time!! James loved the beach, playing with his cousins, and seeing all kinds of new things.

Playing at the beach!!

James is a beach lover!! We went to beach in Hilton Head and James never wanted to leave. He loved knocking down sandcastles, digging for treasures, finding shells, jumping in the waves, and playing paddle ball. He loved the beach in Hilton Head!! Thank you again Maw Maw and Paw Paw for a wonderful week!!

Amelia Island

My Uncle John and Aunt Sharon where nice enough to let us go visit their home away from home in FL. We had a great time at the beach, going on a boat ride, seeing dolphins, seeing a shark attack, and spending time with JC! We hope to go back again.

Happy Father's Day!!

My dad came up and spent Father's Day with us. James was actually allowing me to take him picture on this day and he had a new haircur so they are actually some of the best pictures we have of him in a long time!!

Mess, mess, and more mess!!!

James has mastered making a mess whenever he can. I was taking a shower one day and looked out to see him playing with Chad's shaving creme can. I never thought he would be able to push the button hard enough to really get any out. As you can see from the pictures, I was wrong!!!

Swimming

I went swimming at Maw Maw and Paw Paw's house early this summer. It was so much for and I wore goggles for the first time. I have been swimming a lot this summer!!
