Beach again..

We made a quick run for the beach this weekend. We are so glad to have our friends Jacob and Caden with us. I use to nanny for these boys when they were toddlers. They are now both 14!! Wow do I feel old! They have to go home on Monday(13th) and we are going to miss them like crazy! They are awesome young men and I cant wait until they come again! They live in Arkansas so we dont get to see them as much as we would like.

On another note Sophie is sick. Bert is going to head back tonight with her so we can get her to the doc in the morning. She has an awful cough and ran fever all night. She has just been laying around. Note the pics where she has just fallen asleep on her own. This is definately not our spunky very 2 yr old little girl.

Happy Birthday Elizabeth Grace!!

EG turned 8 on Thursday and we had a awesome party at the McWane Center. They did this really cool animal exhibit thing as part of the party. They got to pet a leopard gecko, a chinchilla, tarantulas and several other cool animals. The night before her party we went to Konomi..that has become our Pierce birthday tradition. All my kids love sushi!! (except Sophie). Happy Birthday Elizabeth Grace I love you!!

More cute VBS pics

VBS is over the kids are sad and the workers are glad!! lol. What a wild week. We had 150 kids on one night...and stayed over 100 all of the nights.

I dont think I will post any more pics of Sophie for about a week b/c she has a BLACK EYE!!! sob'. I couldnt even take her to our Lifeline adoption reunion thingie that I have sooo been looking forward to going to, b/c her eye looks so bad. She and her daddy..keyword DADDY...were riding in the go cart and somehow a piece of would popped up and got her right under the eye. Praise God it did not go in her eye. Needless to say black eyes get worse every day until they are gone. So right now we are still in the blue-ish purple stage with green to come. If I can get a pic that doesnt look too horrible I will post so you all can see. Daddy felt horrible and Sophie is so tough she doesnt mind it at all!!

Taylor and her Uncle Bert

I love these pics of Taylor and Bert!! So sweet.

4th of July part 2

Happy 4th of July..part 1

Swimming pool fun!

Sophie loves "sgetti"

What is it about the beach that gives you an insatiable appetite for food!! AHHH I love to eat and eat when I am down here. So does the rest of my family. Sophie really loved this spaghetti..she couldn't get enough and she wanted to feed herself.

Slideshows

I dont know why but on some of my slide shows there are random pics of people I have no clue who they are. I dont even know how they got on there or how to get them off...

Sophie's unexpected bath

Ok, I literally had just gotten Sophie out of the shower with me. I put this adorable beaux et belles smocked lady bug outfit on her. She had her bow in, she wanted to put on socks so I let her and I figured I would take them off if we went anywhere. Well, I went to get some clothes out of the dryer...I get them out and I am folding them. I hear her talking so I go investigate. Well, EG had taken a bath earlier and left the water in the tub...Sophie had proceeded to get in the tub..happy as a clam dressed to a T!! lol. She is so silly!

Back to the beach

Well, if you couldn't tell we are back at the beach again. It is gorgeous here and we are having a great time doing...NOTHING!! How great is that. I was soo lazy and slept until 11:00am. I cannot tell you the last time I have slept that late. My wonderful husband got up with the kids and made a yummy breakfast. He even saved me some biscuits and gravy. Bart and Laura are coming on Tuesday and we can't wait. We always meet up with Pop's grandkids while we are down here so those are the other kids you see in the pictures. I have just figured out the whole slide show thing, it was very easy. Have a happy 4th!!

Sophie turned 2!! She had so much fun yesterday. We sang Happy Birthday alll day long. And she kept saying "2". Her vocabulary is really starting to pick up! We are still at the beach so we went and celebrated at Lamberts. Then came back to the beach house for cupcakes and homemade ice cream. We celebrated with our friends the McGehee's they bought Sophie the cutest outfit from Gymboree. When we got back to the house we had a surprise visit from the Nails family. Sophie and Addie Lu had a great time meeting each other. I will post a video of that and also pics of Sophie's big birthday party we had at home.
