Myrtle Beach photos

Here is Parker playing in the sand. He loved to run and wander around on the beach!
Kailey really wanted me to get her one of these boards for vacation, so we went and picked one out... turns out they are harder to use than she thought! LOL
Here is Brooklyn in the ocean the first night we were at the beach. She told me she just wondered why the water was soooo filthy! LOL
Here is Kailey on our balcony at the hotel.
Brooklyn would just stand and jump when each wave came forever each day!! She loved it:)
We went to Myrtle Beach for the second half of vacation and had a great time! Here are the girls and Dustin building a sand castle. Of course any sand castle just looks like something fun for Parker to knock over!

This was taken our first night on the beach. It was so nice outside and the kids had a blast! Everyone was glad to be out of the car!! LOL
Here is Parker by the pool:)
Here and Dustin and Parker in the lazy river at our hotel:) Everyone, except Brooklyn, loved this part of the hotel! Brooklyn thought it was too deep... even though she could touch the bottom. LOL

Everyone had a great time on vacation, but we were definitely glad to be home and out of the car after all of the traffic and everything! We were in the car eighteen hours to get home and it should have taken five hours less than that. Thankfully, the kids were great for the car ride! :)

Pigeon Forge, TN vacation

Here are the girls in the hot tub at our cabin in TN. This was their favorite part of vacation! We would be out somewhere and all they could talk about was getting back to the hot tub!! LOL
Here is Kailey touching a sting ray at the Ripley's Aquarium:)
Dustin taught Parker how to spit over the balcony, so this became quite a game for Parker! LOL
Here are the kids and I outside our Pigeon Forge cabin last week.
We took the kids to the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg. The kids had a lot of fun. Here is Parker sticking his hand in the water by the sting rays you can touch!
Here are the girls outside the Ripley's Believe it or Not, 'pushing' the humongous ball:)
Parker loved riding the little rides at the miniature golf place!
Here we are outside the penguin exhibit at the aquarium.

Here are the girls in their 4th of July tutus:) So pretty!

Everyone had a nice 4th of July this year. We were glad to have family over for the holiday. We took the kids to the fireworks afterwards... the girls loved it, but Parker did not love being woke up by booming fireworks!

Happy 4th Birthday Brooklyn!

Parker and Ellah enjoying some bubbles at Brooklyn's party on Saturday:) Parker was completely covered in them! LOL
Brooklyn was super excited about her Pinata! She kept asking "Is it time, yet?"


Brooklyn loved her Barbie cake that Aunt Kacey made for her this year! So cute!

Thanks to everyone who came and for all the nice gifts Brooklyn got:) She had a great birthday!

Aunt Kacey made the kids totally cute cakes again this year:)
Here is Parker on his real birthday scarfing down some yummy cake! He didn't seem to care about the cake at his party though. Happy 1st and 10th kiddos!

March Pics

Here is Brookie posing in her dress up things:) She loves to play dress up and pretend to be different people. For some reason, she keeps pretending to be someone named Felicity, lately. We must have heard that name on a movie or something:) LOL
I was doing laundry one day, and turned around and Parker was climbing into the dryer! LOL He loves to get into stuff, too:)
Here are Brooklyn and Parker playing:) Brooklyn decided to put the pirate patch on his eye, and he thought it was pretty funny!
The kids have been loving the weather this week!
Here is Parker with the Mr. Potato Head glasses-too funny! Brooklyn used to wear those when she was little, too!

The girls love to play on and around the tree in the backyard. I know they will miss climbing around on it when we move!

The kids have been keeping me very busy! We are so happy for some nice weather, so we can get outside and play.

Updates:
Parker: He loves to bounce his Spiderman ball, flip the pages in books, climb on things, play outside, and just get into stuff in general! LOL He loves to follow along with the girls when they run around. It is cute to watch him running after them!

Brooklyn: She loves to color, do crafts, and play outside right now! She is learning so much right now, too! She can even count to 49! She has been working hard on her letters, too! She continues to amaze me every day!

Kailey: She is at the top of her class in reading still, and I am so proud of her! She only has to get 2o reading points and she had eighty something points at the end of the grading period. She is completely obsessed with Twilight EVERYTHING right now!! It is crazy.... I guess all the girls love it though. She gets home from school and wants to get on her twilight website everyday. I totally don't get it.
