Annual beach vacation

We had a blast on our trip! Julie warmed up the ocean very quickly. She didn't like that the water came up and down on the shore, however, she didn't mind wearing a life jacket to go out to get "my shoulders wet"!! We spent lots of time in the ocean and the pool. Once, a wave crashed over our heads, and she was sweet to say, "God takes care of us".

Blueberry picking...

We hit the patch near Uncle Tom's house before leaving for our beach vacation! YUMMY!!! Julie had a blast trying to fill up her bucket.

Independence Day---

I'd still kiss that Spiderman popsicle face!

Girls Rock birthday!

We had such a great time...I think everyone else did too! Happy Birthday girl!

Vacation Bible school...Gayton Baptist

Jesse and Julie both enjoyed a week at vacation Bible school! I am so glad that they love going to this each year! And I love it when they come home with a new cd of songs and know just about all of the words!

Julie celebrated her birthday going to Bible school!

Julie-Boolie turns 3!!

We took Julie to Silver Diner for dinner. Lizzie, Lorelai and Jason joined us. Julie celebrated with her usual...macaroni and cheese!

She absolutely loved it when the wait-staff sang her the birthday song and delivered a very special birthday treat...ice cream, whipped topping, choc chips and a cherry on top!

It was so genuine when she buried her head into my shoulder and said with the biggest smile, "I am so happy that it's my birthday!"

We hit Claire's and the Sweet Shoppe in the mall on our way home. We got a star magic wand, a Hello Kitty rubber bracelet, and obviously, some candy!

Happy Birthday baby girl!

Red fingernails....

Hotdogs for dinner. Julie must have not been hungry and wasn't eating. She kept herself busy by painting her fingernails with ketchup!!

Gosh, I love her!
