Summer Silliness

We've done a lot of fun things and gone some fun places so far this summer, but we've also enjoyed down time at home too. After all, we do live at the beach and boxes will always be the best toy!

Have you seen the Cheerios?

My sandy flower child

Sinks baths are the best baths

Seat on the steps. So silly!

Myrtle Beach with Gpa

Still playing catch-up on all our fun summer happenings! It's been weeks now, but the kids and I headed down to Myrtle Beach to see Gpa and family who were staying in one of those oceanfront hotels with pools, lazy rivers, water slides, etc. The kids were INTO it! So much so that we decided to not even leave the property and just order pizza to the pool for dinner. Danny was more brave than me going down the long, dark, enclosed water slide! Needless to say, everyone slept good that night!

Hi Captain Crew! 

Beautiful view from our room

Had never seen a phone with a cord before

Uncle Mac and Danny looking two cool for school

At buffet breakfast - he was fan!

Riding the luggage cart!

The following day, we headed back to Carolina Beach and my dad and everyone met us there for a couple days on our turf!

Crew had a "demonic" tantrum before dinner out the last night, but otherwise, the whole long weekend with off without a hitch!

When Dad's Away...

When Jimmy travels for work, it's usually for only a day or two, but the other week he was gone for four...or was it five? Needless to say, I was exhausted by bedtime, but we survived and managed to have a little fun too! Here's what we got into...

Building forts!

Eating cheese dip

Covered in spaghetti sauce post a couple restaurant scenes

Playing on the playground at day camp

And just love these pictures of Danny and Crew. They fight and annoy each other to no end, but deep down they are truly best buddies...

Always sitting together and in the same posture

Case in point

Loving Nana's deep tub

King of the Castle

I totally goofed on Kingston's 9 month blog post - saw the end of May just come and go! And I'm now late to do his 10 month post too, but it's coming! Until then, here's a cute photo series of him just crawling around curious about the steps and such...

Oh and here's what I anticipate will be the last picture of Kingston without any top teeth, as both the two front "buck teeth" are currently breaking through...

Boys on Bald Head Island

My high school friend and college roommate, Erin di Santi (now Campbell) was on Bald Head Island with her husband and two boys, so my mom and I went over there to visit with them for the afternoon! It was a pretty big whirlwind considering the logistics of multiple ferries, golf carting to the house, feedings and naps, oh and the fact that there were 5 boys five years old and younger. Eek! Regardless, it was so nice to see Erin for a few and show my boys and mom around beautiful Bald Head Island!

These two really hit it off! (Crew 2.5 and Kaeden 4)

Danny finding lizards and bugs per usual

The whole gang!

Long Time, No Post

Yep, it's been almost a month since my last post! We've been soooo busy this summer - in a good way - but I'm going to make an effort to get caught up!

Happy boy
