Fall Beach Trip

Last weekend we met my family at Seaside for a fall getaway! The weather was beautiful and we had so much fun! Enjoy some pictures......they are in no particular order. I am too tired to organize them....especially after spending an hour with Lee on his facebook account! Exactly why I don't do facebook....haha.



Liza and cousin, Maddie Grace. They are exactly 3 months apart.....and no, Liza is younger even though she is bigger. :)


This was day 2 at the beach......I promise I am not crazy for having my little girl in a bathing suit in October..........it was kinda chilly, but wait till you see what happened on day one when I DIDN'T let her wear a swim suit.



birds eating graham crackers off jarrod's back.....hilarious!



matt and jess with alan and maddie grace


yes, that is a blanket at the beach. She is quite obsessed with it now.....she calls it her nye nye (night night). But, it is no particular blanket......actually anything soft will do.









My sweet, sweet boy......





So in love.......so cheesy. :) Tiff, I can just hear you making fun of this pic.




No, this is not a bad picture of Liza with her eyes closed. She was actually falling asleep with her hand in a bag of chips. Again, these pics are out of order, but you are about to see what exhausted her so much.....



the whole fam chillin



catching some good zzz's with daddy....








Nonnie and Granddaddy hangin' with Will. :)




Here is where the fun begins: Again, I am too tired to put all these in order......we are looking at them backwards. But, basically, Lee took her just to let her put her toes in the water.......she loved it so much she kept running full speed ahead into the ocean. There was no stopping her. And her laughter made it all worth the worry of the cold water! Thus, the swimsuit the next day. On a side funny note: notice the flower in her hands. Lee picked it for her on the way to the beach.....it made it in every picture......the girl never let go of it. :) Even in all her running and falling into the water!





cold face.....she is not crying, though.....she got back up laughing and running back into the water every time!



making another mad dash to the water....


Lee trying with all his might to keep her out......obviously we gave in. :)



Here is at the beginning when she is just discovering how much she likes the water....











headed to the beach....

Will is 2 months old!

How sweet it is to watch your baby begin to show their personality! Will has been smiling for a couple of weeks now....and he has even begun cooing and talking to us. I never knew a baby did these things this early....Liza was such a serious baby! I don't know that she really smiled until almost 4 months! :) Which is so funny to think about now because she laughs hysterically all the time....even when she just hears someone laughing on TV. :) Back to Will.....happy 2nd month, sweet boy! You are such an easy and happy baby.... You fill my days with joy! I love watching you take in this new world! Most of all, I love that you are still so young that you make me feel as though I am all you need. I love our quiet little moments....you smile and talk to me as if I am the only person in the world. I am soaking it all up now.....I know by next month you will have awakened to the world even more....you will probably soon become so smitten with your big sis that you will forget all about me! :)

random photo session

liza and will, "Are you seriously making us do this???"



liza, "let me just get you set up....."



too cute....Will is still not sure



liza being liza....Will still Mr. Serious



liza smile, will frown....





finally a smile from my sweet boy....







this is where it gets really good. liza begins to love on Will without me even prompting her to.....it melts me every time......







out of all of them, though.....this one is priceless. just look at Will's face....hahaha......he has EVERY reason to be terrified! :)

Perry Fair!





What a fun Friday we had going to the Georgia National Fair in Perry, GA! To all my Mississippi friends reading this.....our fair is just gross. Disgusting. Not to mention that you have to watch your every step or you will trip over the gigantic wires on the ground.....don't get me wrong, I still have many fond memories of going to Jackson to the fair every year (Nikki, I will always think of you and the fair....it was always the official beginning of fall and we would try on 1 million new sweaters till we found the right one....and it always ended in drama b/c either my mom was upset that I was giving away all my new clothes or one of your sisters would be mad b/c we had taken one of their sweaters....hahah.....but we had to look good, right? You never knew who you might end up sitting next to on the Ferris wheel!). Anyway....the GA fair is just so clean and nice....it is a great family/kid outing!






Will and Liza in the double Bob bundled up because it was FREEZING!







We met up with the Dodds......here is Liza and Matthew on a Kubota Tractor.









Liza chomping on some roasted corn.....gotta love fair food! And you gotta love "Miss Claire" for giving up her Friday night to hang with the Parish's!







Liza with the best view around.....









Snuggling to keep warm! :)






Our whole fair crew chillin at the Kubota tent (minus the Dodds.....they had smartly already taken their child home....hahaa.....notice Liza's red nose from the cold air...on the way home, though, Liza had her first hot chocolate, or should I say first "lukewarm watered down hot chocolate"....it made being out in the cold worth it!).











These next 2 pics are not from the fair..... They are some that Claire shared with me that she had taken various babysitting times......they were just too cute not to post!

super adorable and definitely sneaky at the same time! :)
