Beach Day 2 2013

I have decided that blogging without posting pictures is kinda boring...I am not the most compelling writer, so pictures do me wonders..ha! But again no pics today so on with my stories...I think I will just highlight the day:

1. Ashtyn and I laid on the balcony overlooking the ocean in the earlier morning before anyone was awake. I sipped coffee and read the Bible and she ate apple jacks and cuddled with her pink blanket. It was glorious and one of my fav moments yet.
2. Ashtyn ate half a turkey sandwich for lunch. I know this is completely not noteworthy in some books but for us its HUGE! Little Miss is sooo picky and does not like sandwiches and especially not sandwich meat. She saw Graham eating his and declared it hers..hey whatever works! I think she liked it..maybe this is our new trick to getting Ashtyn to eat. Graham eats everything and is A GREAT GREAT GREAT Eater. He literally eat smore than me..ha!
3. We took 3 hour naps! All of us! Ashtyn went into the the room by herself and laid down watching Rapunzel and fell asleep. It was wonderful. Usually I have to lay with her for an hour or so before she falls asleep...maybe this is the start of something new.
4. I watched an episode of Little House on the Prairie....I just started watching this tv show and am obsessed. I love the simplicity of the prairie. I love their wisdom and work ethic...Oh I just love this show! I am on disc 2 of season 1. I would watch it all day long if I could. I have to say the entire family is enjoying my new addiction.
5. We saw dolphins. We have actually seen them all 3 days. So fun!
6. Graham loves the beach. Ashtyn loves the beach!
7. Graham and Tad had matching bathing suits (age 1 yr & 8 yr) SO CUTE!
8. Jeremy, Josh and Papa Tom played tennis.
9. Luke spent the night in our condo. Ashtyn was in heaven!

We are having the best vacation. It is so fun to watch my babies have fun! I am so grateful for this opportunity and for Jeremy's parents who host this every year. We have the best time hanging out with family and the kids love to play togetehr. We are very blessed.
