Our Beach Vacation

What an amazing time we had at the beach a few weeks ago! My Mom, Dad, Sister and Brother went with us and we had a blast. It was so relaxing and to be honest I wish we were still there. One week at the beach just does not cut it!  Not to mention how much I LOVE the outlet mall!!

Lakelyn's first time in the ocean.  She did not like it at first, but soon decided that she LOVED it!

Of course Avery and Oaks were so excited to be back at the beach!

This was once she decided she loved it!

Our family! Oakley had to wear his UK hat just like Daddy!

Me, my Mom and my Sister

Me and my hottie of a husband!

Sisters!

Avery decided she wanted to try Oysters on the half shell.

I am pretty sure she won't be trying them again for a long time!

The view on top of Tacky Jacks

At Tacky Jacks they had a machine where you put in $2 and try to catch a lobster.  It's sort of like the one where you try and grab a stuffed animal.  If you catch it they cook it for you right then.  Oaks' caught one all by himself and he was so excited, just in case you couldn't tell by his face in this picture! 

Many of Papa and Daddy's afternoons were spent in the pool with the kiddo's.

The sand didn't bother her at all!

My littlest bathing beauty! 

More pool time!

We really didn't get in the ocean a whole lot because there were tons of jellyfish.  I have never seen so many in all my years of going to the beach.  Everyone of us got stung except for Jason.

So we spent lots of time on the beach catching them!

Gran, Katie, Avery and Oakley worked really hard on this sandcastle.  Twenty minutes later Avery and Oakley had a blast jumping on it and knocking it down.

The whole family and of course Miss Lakelyn wasn't looking!

I think this was Oakley's favorite thing about the whole vacation!

Avery loved it too!

Pictures of June

June is a pretty busy month for us and this year it seemed even more busy.  It's mine and Jason's birthday and anniversary, camp-outs at the creek, Avery's half birthday party, and this year we went to the beach and Avery is playing All-star softball.  Needless to say, I think we spent the whole month of June running!!  Here are few pics from the past month, excluding the beach and softball.  Those are being saved for a post all of their own.  Any how our June was filled with lots of wonderful things like:

Beautiful flowers from my husband on my birthday!

Little boys that like to dress themselves!  And little girls that like to make sure they get in a picture.  :)

Little girls that LOVE their Gran and her necklaces!

Sparklers!!

Campfires!

Pig Roasts!

Amazing rainbows!  We could see both ends of this one and on each side there was a double rainbow!

And beautiful summer sunsets!!

Avery's Half Birthday Party

Avery had so much fun at her half birthday party this year. Thanks to all those that came! Oh, and Jason was so proud when she told us that she wanted a UK themed party!!

Blowing out the candles!

Memorial Day Weekend

As every Memorial Day weekend, we spent it camping at the creek with great friends! We had so much fun and it was nice to sit back and relax a little!!

Zach brought some great seafood in from the coast for everyone to chow down on.

Cracking open an oyster.

Some of the shrimp they boiled.

Looks like one of the Grand-kids got a hold of Papa Steve!!

Papa Joe Kline...he is always one of my favorite people to photograph!  You never know how he is going to pose!

My girls names that Raejean made and surprised me with.  Isn't she so talented!!  I keep telling her she needs to sell these on Etsy.

Lisa and I...I don't know what I would do without this girl in my life!

Lauren Avery...this is my childhood best friend and who Avery is named after!  She just moved back to the states after being in Germany for a year and it was so good to see her!!
