Can't believe we have hit nearly the end of July....and then August, and you know what that means. Please don't say it....please....I beg you.....Yes my baby turns ONE. Some days it seems like only yesterday and then other days it does seem like it's been a while. I was laying in bed tucking Jude in last night and Camilla was bouncing around too...and I thought back to the days of laying with them both for a nap after she just came home from the hospital....I remember us carrying her around outside all bundled up while Jude played. Oh the memories.....the fun...and tonight I watched her and Jude play together giggling like crazy. She was crawling and he was crawling behind her and she knew he was there and thought it was soooo funny. Blessed is all I can say.....two happy kiddos just enjoying life with the biggest smiles ever....
Spring is here......
And this patriotic cutie is ready for Memorial Day!!!
with her Uncle Eber
Someone is pretty serious.....either he is determined to eat that dinner or he is planning his swimming strategy for after....
Camilla puts on a show with her red cup for Aunt Lo and cousin Ben....
double wave! (I think she's trying to detract the eyes from looking at her chubby legs....lol)
Of course he didn't want to get a picture together...hey, I have to take what I can get these days!!!
a little swimming with Aunt Karyn.....
And a little swimming with Daddy
And hanging out with Mommy......
Such a cool kid....lol
Yep, we have approached the double digits....ten months....
And she is about as sweet as watermelon......(actually much sweeter than the ones I usually end up picking out...haha)
So happy!!!
"Look mom, I think my legs are thinning out!!"
Yep, don't mind if I do...I'll try a corn chip
"Mom are these shorts I am wearing or a speedo? I don't know about you but these can surely not qualify for shorts."
I think they are ready for dancing with the stars.....
What a good brother...making sure she gets that grass out of her mouth...lol
rolling around....lol....literally a ball of energy!
A few pics we did for our father's day cards this year....
Father's Day!!
Happy fourth already!?!
pinwheels are so yummy!
He loves his mower (now if only it really could mow the grass!)
Jude's picture he took.....I am often impressed with his skills!!!
Star spangled baby....
She loved playing with the ball...
while Jude patrolled the deep end!
with Pap Pap and Memaw...
finishing off the day with cake.....doesn't everyone?!
a little beauty sleep (but I really don't think she needs much of it) lol
First day at the beach...have to scope things out!
Don't worry I'll test the waters Dad....
Oh no, I hope no one recognizes me here at the beach. I was trying to be incognito with these sunglasses on.....
BYOW (bring your own water)
Splashing in the water!
Of course we are making cement or mud or something.....important work to be done at the beach....
Us beach girls will just take it easy....
My mer-man! lol (couldn't believe he let me bury him this year)
ANd the only shark we saw while at the beach.....he was a friendly one!
Beach dude....
Pushing his sister on the beach so she could take her naps (as if he didn't need one?!) haha
Um yes...this happened...someone forgot it was vacation and she was supposed to take a vacation from growing!? I guess she thought I would take a vacation from my camera....guess again Camilla....guess again...
"Does that really say 11 months mom?"
Splashing her feet...
time for a snack....this is all my kids did!
played with their sunglasses and trucks...
The beach police came by and let the kids sit on his quad...
Camilla smoking is really bad for your health...lol
naps! (I guess I shouldn't make that plural since Jude man was wide awake!) lol
I am still not sure if this was Jude's absolute favorite part of the trip.....stripping down and showering outside! haha (These pictures are rated G...well maybe PG)
And Milla loved it just as much.....
Hey, wait....are those my kids...with snacks? Noooooo.....I never would have guessed!!!
gotta love that beach hair!
Sunglasses we found on the beach.....
Family portrait time...this works! lol
Jumping in the water!
"yum....surely there has to be something in this large cup." lol
Oh, please...no more pictures...
Here Milla, let me help you with those sunglasses...and try my hat on too while you're at it....
Surf dudes

getting confident and crawling toward the water..

Overall a good time had by all!!! By the time you hear from me next, Camilla's birthday will probably be here and gone. Ok....I am permanently freezing time...anyone know how??? Many blessings and hope the summer is treating you all well!!
