VACAY! Hollar!

Excited to be up early and boarded on a Southwest flight, headed to the beach.

Ameila Island, Our Old Friend

Back to where it all started for Isabella, literally.  It has been three years but we are glad to be back to enjoy the pristine beaches of Amelia Island.

A Story to Tell

When you are so excited to be at the beach that you run and dive in before realizing the water is too shallow.  Skyler ended up skidding across sand and shell  - that will leave a mark.  90 minutes into his beach vacation and he already has a story to tell.

Pretty Blue Eyes

Isabella's pretty blue eyes were on display as she snuggled down for a mid-day rest.  Sometimes you just need to throw a towel down and relax in the middle of the floor.

New Luggage

Isabella found her new luggage just in time for a summer beach trip.  Tiffany Blue - go figure.

Duck Float

I came home to find Isabella on a duck float in the middle of the living room floor.  Sometimes I don't bother to ask "why?"

Nana's Pool

Isabella had fun spending the day with Nana.  She even ventured out to the salt water pool for some more summer fun.

Summer On

Isabella was passing the time with some reading while waiting on her BFF to return from Grandma's house.

Summer Reading

A successful trip to Books-a-Million.

Pool Divas

A great day at the pool with these Divas.  Yep, Pool Divas.

Backstroke - All The Way

She swam the entire length of the pool, without stopping.  Really proud of the progress Bella is making in the water this year.

You Might Be a Redneck If...

...you ride home from the pool like this.

Make-Up Train

What neighborhood girls do on a rainy summer day.

Hair Pets

Seems Isabella is always making fury friends when Mommy goes to help someone with their hair.

Pool Time with the Bolton's

Underwater

When you go to the pool and a photo session breaks out.  Our favorite photographer, Crystal Freeman, was at the pool with her daughter and took some great shots.

Splash n Pose

Crafty Carousel

A little summer creativity on a rainy day.  Crafts inside and an excellent job on the carousel.

Father's Day Dinner

Banana's Foster Girls

The joy of watching my girls enjoy the making and eating of Banana's Foster.

Still Celebrating

Missing these two today but still taking a moment to celebrate their life and their contribution to our lives.  #gonenotforgotten

Coco & Izzy Turn 10

Preparations have been completed for Chloe (Coco) and Isabella's (Izzy) joint birthday party.   It's a backyard Slip n Slide party.  Let the celebration begin.
