A Day at the Beach

Yesterday we went to the beach at a lake close to my grandparents! It was a cool, overcast day which was just perfect – we didn’t get very hot or sunburns!

Rebekah and Emerson

I love his sweet little sad face!

With our sweet babies. (This was the best one, it’s just about impossible to get them both to look at the camera!)

Sweet little beach babies playing in the water!

Emerson loved the sand – she got it everywhere!

Rebekah, Mom and Emerson

Paxton enjoying his hand (his new best friend) while in the water!

After our brief little swim, Paxton was absolutely wore out and took a nice long nap! I just love holding my sweet babe while he sleeps!

And of course Emerson was wore out after all of her playing so she took a nap with her grandaddy! (Daddy is quite magical with the babies!)

Hello Children

I know we look young! We are young! I’m 22 and he’s 23 but do we really look like children?

Well, apparently we do!

A few weeks ago we walked into the Wal-Mart garden center and the greeter (who was in her 70s) greeted us with a “hello children!” I was stunned, I mean I’m 7 months pregnant and definitely showing!! We managed to walk past her and make it into the store before laughing because it was pretty funny!

Well,  last Thursday it happened again! We walked into the funeral home and were greeted “hello children,” (this time by a man in his 60s!) Once again, we said hello, walked on by and had a little giggle!

I am beginning to develop a bit of a complex!! I’ve been told before that I look like I’m about 16 and my husband does too but there’s just something about us being together and me 7 months pregnant that makes me sensitive to people thinking we’re children!!

Well, I suppose when we’re in our 40s we’ll look like we’re in our 20s since we still look like children now!!

Snow Day

The weatherman predicted snow and he was right this time (unlike 3 weeks ago when we got a very light dusting!) It was supposed to arrive during the night but it started snowing here at 10 a.m. and snowed about 4 hours straight and then off and on all afternoon, with a little icy rain mixed in!

John David stuck a ruler in the snow around 3:00 and it was almost to 5 inches….this evening it was up almost up to 6, which makes this officially the most snow I’ve ever seen!!

Our beautiful home!!

We went out and played about 45 minutes this afternoon! We suited up in coveralls, hunting jackets and muck boots! Of course I didn’t get to play too much, I did make a few snowballs and threw them at John David and Mac! John David sledded with the neighbors! Since I am 6 months pregnant I didn’t, but I really wanted too!

John David and Mac! Mac just loves the snow!

Love this picture of Mac! When we came inside I had to give him a bath to melt the snowballs off of his hair!

Me showing off my belly…I don’t even look pregnant due to all of the layers!!

Then we decided to take a picture of us in the snow together…this is take one!

And take two! A little better!

We came in and John David helped me through the wet garage and basement (I would have more than likely fallen because my boots were icy and the floor was wet!) Once we took our wet jackets and coveralls off, I bathed Mac and then we had some hot cocoa! There’s nothing quite like hot cocoa on a snowy day!!
