Wordless Wednesday!

 I have been slacking on the Wordless Wednesday posts because I have been so busy but this one I thought was good to share that I came across!

Summer nights!

 Tyler had his last golf round with the JSU Golf League so us girls hit dinner and came home. Not 5 minutes of being home.......Callie and Abby Grace rode up on their bikes and I didnt see Lily again until 9:00pm!

I have said it a thousand times that I love our neighborhood and it is because of nights like last night! 

Friends popping over and Lily ending it with them and night swimming!

For an almost 11 year old.........I dont think it gets any better than that!

I never had a neighborhood experience and I am so thankful my girls have the opportunity!

As soon as Lily saw them ride up.........

she said..... 'they are here!! They have come to get me!'............and then took off out to the garage to greet them and grab her bike! :)

Living her best life!

Loaded up and riding back home in Abby Grace's brother's truck! He was the lucky one to take them home! :)

JSU soccer camp!

 Lily has been so excited that soccer camp is in session!

Started yesterday and goes to Thursday even though she will just be going to Wednesday since we are leaving for the beach.

All things soccer are her favorite and she is loving being with friends and meeting the JSU soccer girls!

Sunkissed photo session

 We kept it simple and didnt do a bunch of pictures but I just cant go without having at least one with the beach in our background! :)

A Daddy and his girls!

My favorite!

Love these two!

Us four!

Love!

This girl!

And this one!

She wanted me to take a picture of her flinging her hair! ha! okay!..................

Growing so fast!

What is she up to?! :)

And...what is she thinking!

Beautiful! 

LOVE!

My family!

Same beach place....years apart!

 Circa 2015 at the same putt-putt golf...to now! Time sure does fly!

So little! ...................seems like yesterday though!

They are grown!

My goodness time flies! Beach chicks!

 Ahh....LOOOkkkk at how much time flies and they have changed!

Circa 2014

and Circa 2015

to NOW Circa 2022....just WOW! Legs for dayyyys now!...both of them!

Lily rode all by herself! Go-cart girl!

 I remember the first time I was tall enough to finally get to ride by myself! I still remember the day!

Well...Lily's day has finally come!

Even though she didnt get to actually ride until 11:00pm because the line was out of control and took forever...........she was READY and so excited she did it!

She was so excited to say she passed two people! ha!

She bumped the guy in front of her in the first part when she was going out because she forgot to press the break hard...but she figured it out and was a pro!

If she was nervous...she didnt let it show!

She looks so grown!

Lets do this!

She did so good!

That really big and tall wooden track..................she did it!

This cracks me up...at the beach!

 More lazy beach days and fun in the sun!

Catching the waves!

Always a favorite picture!

Toes in the sand at sunset! Here is where I crack up! Soooo...Alexis REFUSED to put her toes in the picture with us. She pretty much refuses ANY picture with us these days..............stay tuned...

Sunset!

Beach bum!

Loving the lazy life!

And...then there is THIS! She made him take a GAZILLION pictures.... just like this! I was dying! I mean....wont take a single picture with us....but will take pictures like this.....

And this....................

And....this.....for hours! :)

I just dont understand...but whatever....

I have to say....this filter she put on of this one that he took.....looks great! ha!

Another beach night....another movie at sunset!

Meeting friends always makes it more fun! This crew had a blast together!

These girls had a great time playing...and with Brody too! 

Alexis, Ella Kate, Lily and Sophie. They have been down every year with us but this year they really bonded. They all said they cant wait until next year to do it all again!

A night out. We went to Angelos and then to play putt-putt and then go-carts...oh and shopping and yogurt {again} first!

Golf or go home!

I beat him! :)

This girl got a hole in one!

This girl hit her ball like she was trying to hit a home run in baseball and knocked it all the way into the water............where her ball was lost forever! :)

Then this girl rode a go-cart all by herself for the first time! Stay tuned for that info!

The BEACH!

 OH...it is our happy place!

We count down the days every year to when it is time for our trip!

This year we kept it super simple! We had more full day and afternoon beach and pool time this year instead of going in early to get ready and fight the crowds. But...we did our fun shopping, yogurt eating, movie watching, put-putting and go-carting while eating dinner out as well! We had a great balance!

I didnt take many pictures this year either as I tried to just put my phone away and enjoy it all!

It was so nice!

It was pretty much.....beach, swim, play, eat, swim, play, eat, play.......throw in some Mexican train....and repeat.... you get the idea! :)

I literally lost track of my days so these pictures are not in order as I cant remember what day we wore and did what....

Us girls were ready to hit the BEACH!

Saturday....Sunday and Monday we stayed in the condo and cooked out and just did all the things pool and beach until bedtime! The girls played and played and we were out from 8:30 until 9:30pm just doing all the things!

The water was gorgeous! The middle to the end of the week seaweed was gross so we were glad we soaked up the beach as much as we did before it hit!

Tyler got this scuba mask and it was a hit!

Checking out all the things under the sea!

Nothing but under the water!

We decided to hit Shuckums and then yogurt one afternoon! Ahh...Paradise! She was also thrilled because she didnt have a shower and got to go straight back into the pool and beach to swim once we got back! 

We ended most nights...................with this! Perfection!

Another beautiful day!

This guy...and me!

We've been going strong....for decades now! :)

There was NO question she was going to WIN the this competition! The others didnt even come close to standing a chance! Alexis and her both are PROS!

We loved playing Mexican train! We had some big games between us that played! Gran, Daddy, Lily and me!

Just a gorgeous teen and day!

And...a pre-teen too!

I remember what day this was!  We tried a new place and it was SO good and for sure a place we will eat in the future! Runaway Island! Loved it!

The atmosphere and food....so fun and good!

I could have taken a ton of pictures in this restaurant! Between the lighting...the decor, love!

Then...HAVE to have a picture in front of the beach ball before going to watch a movie!

Jurassic Park for the win! We all loved it!

The other side of the movies! Tyler was on the other side of Lily...and Ben is on the other side of Mom!
