The Beach and Gaterade

So I was driving down the road and I looked at my phone and saw a message from a friend about coming to the beach!  I could not believe what I was reading.  They were inviting us for a couple of days to come to her parents beach house in Sea Brooks!  It had been years since we were their last and Mike and I were pumped!  We just had to make it work!!!  It had been a couple of years since I saw our friend and so much has changed in both our lives.  So Mike and I decide why not, we would make it work!!  Hannah was away at my sister's house for a week so it was just us and Bria!!  We jumped in the car and head to Charleston!
It was a wonderful few days catching up, swimming, catching fish, seeing a Gatorade (alligator) this is what Bria calls it, beach and laughter!!!  Bria had no problem being one of the boys...lol  she loved following them around and playing in the sand with them.  Little " G" and her are a couple of months apart and they loved playing together.  Bria wanted to hold his hand all the time and on the last day little "G" finally gave in and held her hand the whole way home from the beach...it was awesome and of course my camera was packed in the back of the car so I could not capture it :(

I was able to catch a few pictures of her boys playing on the beach and some other pictures of the view from their house!!  We enjoyed a short but wonderful couple of days....

Oh, we don't know what it is like to have boys but.... we loved hanging out with them and I think Mike loved throwing them in the pool!!  Catherine, we had so much fun and we loved getting to know Arron and the boys!  Bria loved them all!!!!!

Little "G" Bria's new friend!

"J" man

"H" and "J"  these two killed a bag of chips shortly after this picture :) It was awesome...

 

The view from their back porch and the long walk to the floating dock!  Awesome...

Location of the Gatorade (alligator) This is what Bria calls it..priceless!!

I had to show you one picture of my baby!!!  Mike loves it when she sits like this so I had to get a picture of it.  Plus we're sporting the Gamecock gear at all times....lol

Catherine I have more if you are interested...and again thank you so much for thinking about us!!  We had so much fun with you guys!!  Hoping their is a little girl in that belly ;) 

I have a retirement party I need to post that I did a while back...stay tune for a fun party and a great location!!!  J

Last Minute Getway!!

Last week I had the sudden desire to go to the beach and my husband agreed and we decided to go on Saturday with the girls to Folly Beach.  I was so excited about finally going out of town with just my little family! 
We packed and left Saturday morning and arrived around lunch time.  The girls were screaming with excitement when we finally parked.  They quickly grabbed their daddy and headed for the stairs near the sand dunes.  They ran around, dug in the sand, built sand castles, and played in the water with their daddy.  It was so fun to see them so happy and playing together in the sand. 
Hannah wanted to build castles and play in the water with her daddy.   Bria, wanted to just dig in the sand and before long she had it everywhere!!  She loved how the sand felt and how it fell between her fingers.  They both loved running back in forth in the waves and the little pools of water.  Mike and I just enjoyed sitting there watching them giggle!  Don't worry I took some pictures of all the fun! 
We had a great time just being together :)  Enjoy the pictures of our getway....

 I could not resist taking this picture of Han's little back side ;) 

It was wonderful to be a little kid again and my heart was full, watching the girls play in the sand and water! I love the beach.....and my FAMILY :)

Miracle Baby "J"

Little Baby "J" has come so far in such a small amount of time!!  Little "J" was born premature and has spent a lot of time in the NICU!  His mommy shared her pictures with me to see just how small he was!!!  He was so tiny but I am so happy to say that he is healthy and gaining weight.  When I took his picture he was 4 months old and nice and chunky in a good way!!  He has the biggest brown eyes that would melt your heart!!

His dad played football at South Carolina State so we captured a few pictures of him with a football and wearing his dad's jersey.  He did great with all the clothing changes and positions we put him in and he  even took a little nap for us :)

Enjoy this little miracle and his beautiful momma (can I say model) :)

Look at those eyes!!!!

One of my favorites :)

Thank you Kim for letting me capture your very sweet little miracle!  This is one reason I love what I do...till next time.....J
