Family Beach Trip

WE had a nice time at the beach we went with my dad and sister a couple of weeks ago to the beach for a nice long week. We had a few hiccups but overall it was a nice beach trip. Dad had a few jobs pop with up from Pensacola to Apalachoila with the storm. Madilyn got sick really bad with stomach bug for 24hrs it was so sad b/c she has never been sick so Ryan and I were pretty worried when she threw up 3 times and had so many bad diapers.She cried herself to sleep then woke up drank alot of gatorade and was a happy girl again! We had some nice weather until the storm came in sunday night.
Madilyn loves the beach she would let us sit out there for hours before she was tired of it. We rode bikes and took walks went shopping and of course eating seafood! I will be counting down till the days next trip!

Madilyns 1st Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Madi !
We had a weather scare right before the party.It was so dark and stormy at Lockwood pool and then the sun came out and it was sunny and beautiful!!!
We had such a good time with all our friends and family. Everyone had fun swimming and eating.Ryan cooked hamburgers and hot dogs. Madi did such a good job with her cake and loved every minute of her party. Im so glad that everything was wonderful and that Madi had a wonderful 1st bday!!

Happy 1st Birthday Madilyn

Madilyn turned 1 on Friday June the 12th. I cant believe it has been a year already it has flown by! I have been so blessed to be at home with her this past year to watch her grow from a baby to a toddler.We made it a whole year without being sick one time!!! I am so thankful that she is such a healthy baby! She has started to stand on her own and walks holding on to everything. She has the best personality she smiles at everyone she meets! On Friday I took some portraits of her here are a few of my favorites.

Beach Bum

When Ryan asked me what i wanted for mothers day i told him a beach trip would be nice. So i got searching for a place to rent i found a place that was having special a week for around 600$ if you know anything about renting a beach place you will pay around 500 for a 3 day rental so i couldnt believe when i found a 7night 2 bedroom for that price. So we booked it and it was on for mothers day weekend. WE went thursday Ryans dad had to have surgery and we had already payed for the place when we found out it was the same week so Ryan had to go back home early and couldnt come back b/c the rain messed up his week. So Madilyn and i stayed at the beach with my Dad and sister till thursday. We had the best time in the pool,playing on the beach. Madilyn loved the sand so much I couldnt keep her from eating sand. WE rode bikes 2 days and she loved that too she sat in her seat and never made a peep she even slept one day.I dont know how she slept with that big helmet on her head.
I hope next time we go daddy can stay longer b/c we missed him so much.This was a great 1st mothers day!
