rest of the week...

Madison found 2, yes 2, sanddollars while we were at the beach with NaiNai. Here they are in the bleach water to get them white and pretty. I don't think that she cared too much, but NaiNai and I were very excited to find them! We also found a starfish, but I forgot to get a picture of it before we left...maybe next time!
Here is a picture of one of the many jellyfish that we saw while we were down there. They were EVERYWHERE!

Here is Madison handing one of the sanddollars to NaiNai...very proud!

Here is NaiNai and Madison walking on the beach. This was Madison's favorite activity while we were there. When we got back, all she wanted to do was "walk beach please", broke my heart to tell her that we were no longer at the beach. But I reassured her that we would be going back this summer, and she could "walk beach" all she wanted then!

Beach trip so far...

On Friday, we headed down to St. Simons for a week. I was so excited to get out of Atlanta and get a break from everything with Rob and my mom. Unfortunately Rob could not stay the whole with us, he left this morning, which is Monday. We will miss him! Before he left, I wanted to get some family pictures taken.

Here is one from the pier. Before dinner, we headed to the pier to take a walk and let Madison have some fun! She and daddy had fun looking at the birds and all the people on the beach.

Here is a family picture! This is one of our first ones, as I havent felt great about being in front of camera. But, I wanted to get some pictures of the girls, I just love saying that, with their "Big Sister/Little Sister" shirts before Ashley outgrows hers. It is not the best picture, but hey, I have an almost 2 year old who likes to throw tantrums...we did the best we could!

Here is a picture of just Rob, me, and Ashley. Madison had enough of trying to be still for pictures, so she left!

NaiNai, me, and Ashley; I love this one. We tried to get both kids, but Madison wanted nothing to do with it!

And then here is one with my sweet baby girl...

Since it is only Monday, we are hoping to get more pictures. I will update then!

Happy Birthday part 1

Fun playing in the sand and sun for my birthday! She had a blast playing the sand, I think she ate more sand than anything!She loves to splish splash in the water! It is like a giant bathtub to her!

There are more pictures to come after her birthday celebration tonight! Enjoy!

Beach Week

This week are at St. Simons for my oldest nephews spring break. We are having a great time. My grandmother, Mimi, and Aunt Diane are here as well. I got a few pictures Monday at the pool with Maddie in her bathing suit sitting in her flower float. And some more at the beach playing in the sand with daddy. I hope you enjoy! Here she is sitting in the big girl chair at the beach under the tent!
She loved playing with the shovels and bucket in the sand...

Here she is examining the shovel, she loves to think about things!

We are looking forward to celebrating her birthday tomorrow. However, I am having a BIG problem with my little one turning one! We will see how I do tomorrow.
Look for mor pictures tomorrow of the birthday celebration!
