"But mom, can't we just live here?"

That's what Braxton asked me when it was time to leave the beach Thursday night. We love Lake Samish and spent both hot hot days at the lake this past week. It was so beautiful and the kids loved it. The lake was so refreshing and we all were able to cool off!

Adelle loved the sand in her toes the best....and in her fingers. The swim suit is an early birthday present from Bama and Umpa. All of last years suits were way too small for this healthy lil' lady.

She loved her new suit. This is her giving Bama loves and more loves and more loves.

Umpa is feeding her so she is happy.

Happy Water Baby!

Life's a beach

This is so cute. This is how Adelle waves. Her hand is turned toward herself and she goes back and forth. I've been trying to capture it for weeks and this is the best I've got so far. It's really sweet live.

Adelle putting sand on Bama's leg, then rubbing it off, over and over, and over.



It was really sweet we were driving out to the lake and Braxton had the lake view window at the time. He was looking out in admiration.

"This is a pretty lake, mom," He said to me in this really mature, observant manner.

Then without even thinking twice he looks over at Adelle and say's, "You're pretty too sis. And mom, you are pretty too. And dad, you are awesome."

I love this boy, he is so sincere and so good with words. He is so thoughtful and such a heartbreaker. Me and Adelle are lucky girls to have him around:)
