OBX, NC 2012

Here are some pictures for our 2012 Outer Banks Trip.  Had so much fun and we are already missing those beautiful beaches so much!!  This was Paisley's first trip to the beach so we may or may not have taken a few extra pictures of her : /  Not showing favoritism, just capturing a first :)

 Now see... This picture I almost didn't put it in b/c I look ROUGHHH but I couldn't not b/c Wyn's bedhead and Pais' sleep face were so cute.  We woke up before the sunrise and decided to do the rollout and drive down to the beach.  Us in the raw.  No make up, nothing. And bedhead all around.  Enjoy that little treat!

 We stayed in Outer Banks, NC, in the 4x4 area.  I highly suggest visiting if you have not yet done so!

Pool Day

Had an amazing day spent pool side.  My little bambino LOVES the water, and I am oh so glad about that!  What an amazing day!  Sunny, beautiful breeze, surrounded by Palm Trees and loved ones- it does not get much better than this!!  Documentation as proof (:

What is this in my pocket? 

 Got it!

 look at that booty! hahah!  swollen wet diapers happen to the best of us.  Ryan and I could not stop laughing at how big it was and the way it made her waddle ha!

This Monday I'm Thankful for...

I'm so very thankful for a save trip to and from Florida!

After $300 in gas and 25+ hrs in the car I'm thankful to be home!!  (why in the world is gas so expensive??!?! it just shouldn't be allowed) 

I'm thankful that my sweet niece Jasmine is finally getting better after 11 days in the hospital (she ate 3 meals yesterday and bloodwork is finally showing improvement!!!).  Still has the chest tube and pic line in but is showing much improvement. Praying the infection will be completely gone and she will be back to her sassy self soon!  I LOVE that sweet girl!

I'm thankful for good times spend with sweet friends.


And I'm thankful that sweet Bennett is here save and sound! Weighing in at a whopping 5 lbs 11 oz and 17 1/4 inches long.  I love her already!


 
 

Many more posts to come on our Florida trip documentation and the Mason Diaper Shower!!!  Get excited sweet followers!

Craftaholics Anonymous Gift Exchange

You might remember the Handmade Gift Exchange I mentioned here.  I was paired with the beautiful Ashley from Count it All Joy where she blogs of her life with her Beautiful Boy Leyton.  Presh!!  These are the Christmas items I sent to Miss Ashley :) I'm linking to the Handmade Gift Exchange!

Every girl needs some headgear :)

  Some coastal ornaments, staying true to my Florida roots :)

 Christmas pillows!  Thought the Joy one was appropriate for Ashley!
