Tutu Cute!

We had some neighbors over today and they were playing in the playroom as I folded laundry and listened in from downstairs. One of the girls was getting frustrated with Lily because she wasn't playing the way she wanted her to. I was a proud mama when I heard Grace stick up for her and say, "She's little leave her alone." Although they fight and get on each others nerves at times, I love the moments when they love on each other! 
Right now they are sleeping and dreaming of days at Sunset Beach with the Rogers family. We leave tomorrow for a week full of waves, sand, and fun in the sun. I look forward to capturing some memories with my camera and will have lots of pictures to share after our vacation.

Father's Day Weekend

Kevin and Christina invited us to stay with them on Kiawah Friday night. The place we stayed was amazing and we had a wonderful time with some great friends! We can't thank them enough for their hospitality, they sure did show us a good time!!

We love Kevin!

Daddy's Girl

 They ordered food from Cassique and it was DELICIOUS! 


On Saturday we took out kayaks and spent the day on our own private beach. 
This was my first time on a kayak and I loved it (the girls did too!).




 Kevin and Christina helped the girls build this little city.

We watched dolphins feeding which was also a first for me! 
This was a perfect day and I think Brooks really enjoyed his Father's Day weekend!

SUMMER!

I really enjoyed my first year teaching at Laurel Hill Primary, but have been looking forward to summer break for quite some time. We've been busy having lots of summer fun and we are just getting started! Grace joined the swim team and had her first meet was last Wednesday. Although she can't make it across the whole pool by herself yet, she did a great job in the meet! I am so proud of her hard work and determination.

Coach Leigh is amazing!

Finished!

Besides swim team, we have been busy going to the library, the beach, the water park, the movies (gotta love the $1 movies), the museum and the pool. I feel so blessed to be able to spend summers with my girls! 

Lily loves the beach!

She did ballet for the recital and danced to "Rainbow Connection." 

She told me that the big girls taught her this pose...
