Hilton head playground and horse stables

We found a great playground to eat our breakfast at.

                                               

We also stopped by a horse stable to pet some horses including a Clydesdale horse.

We had a great trip!

Hilton Head day 2.

We all woke up early to see the beautiful sunset. Coffee in hand we headed down to get a closer look and go shelling. We found starfish and lots of sand dollars.

Hilton Head Beach trip

We stayed at the Marriott Beach Resort right on the water and had a great view from our room.

The moment we arrived at the hotel we ran right out to play at the beach, even though it was 65 degrees, it was beautiful. The water was cold though, so no swimming for us!!


Nate liked the beach more than he did when he was a baby. He still was very afraid of any animal in the water or sand and he didn't love getting dirty. :) Lily was digging in it for shells. Hannah was begging us to go into the water.

We decided to order pizza to eat in the room and swim in the indoor pool. It was really nice and relaxing, especially the hot tub.

Beaufort

I know I haven't posted in a long time.... ok years, but I decided to keep track of all the fun things again. I really enjoyed sharing the things we do with those few people we love. So here we go.

We went to Hilton Head after Christmas!! It was a spur of the moment trip but sooooo needed. It had been about 5 years since we went to the beach. I forgot just how refreshing it can be especially since all of my kids are older now.

On our way through to Hilton Head we stopped at Beaufort for some coffee at Common ground and lunch. It brought back a lot of memories. What a cute little town it is. My kids love the playground there for sure.

N's 3rd birthday party

We had a cars party for N's 3rd birthday. He had 2 friends over to celebrate. I made cars out of cardboard boxes so the boys could race and go through the car wash. I think he had a lot of fun.

No more babyhood.

I'm pouring all effort into getting ready for N's third birthday party tomorrow. I've again done way more than I ever planned on doing. My idea of simple is like a wildfire. :) But I continue to paint box cars and signs as I try to see what i'm doing through my tears. I cant believe this was 3 years ago but here are a few of my all time favorite pictures of N as a newborn. Tomorrow I will post party pics so you can watch him grow as fast as I feel he did.

Christmas gifts

As I was preparing jared peaches to give as Christmas gifts I was remembering back to this summer when hubbys parents came into town and helped me can and freeze peaches. We had such a good time and I realized I never posted pictures of it. So here are some moments from their visit. Papa brought some of his letter type that he had left over from his newspaper. It was really fun to write our names with them. We also went to the river for the day.
