Mid July Beach Trip w/ the Rockingham Gang

Another fun beach trip. It is family tradition that My sister Kim, My Mom, all the kids, and myself get together every year during the summer for a week of vacation. Being that I live few hours away from my family, vacations like this mean so much to me. The time is valuable and precious that I want it to last so much longer than it does. Like the saying goes... "Time flies when you are having fun!" Kim and Mom, thank you so much for driving so far to be with us for a few days at the beach.

Cool Helmet, Drake!

Sweet Little Peanut!

Joy and Jerry Leigh (aka... Patty Cakes)

Cousins and best buds!

Oops... Joy landed on her hinney after attempting to do a front walk-over!

Sweet little thing!!! Love you, Peanut...

Love you too, Jerry Leigh!!

July 4th Weekend (lots of pictures)

What an amazing weekend! The weather was perfect and it was the first time in two years that we were able to go to the beach for July 4th. Here are lots of pictures to show you how much fun we had. Drake is finally like the beach... the only catch is that we have to go late in the afternoon when the sun is not so bright and the wind is not blowing sand needles in our legs!

what a goofy picture of me... (Craig is practicing with the new camera... keeping practicing Craig!)

Drake is trying to be a turtle in this picture... he was having so much fun!

Craig boogey boarding... no skim boarding this year!!

I love this picture of Drake and Nonna... (Nonna please don't kill me for posting this! I think you are always beautiful!!!)
