Trip to Myrtle Beach

Last week we went to Myrtle Beach with Keith, Katie and Garrison. We had a great time and luckily had great weather. We had taken Karson and Garrison to the beach 2 years ago but they were really too young then and the trip had actually been more work than fun. This year they did great and we had a really good time. We rented a van and all piled in together for the trip. We drove through the night going there and coming home so the kids slept through almost all the driving (thank goodness!!). Keith and Dyran took turns driving and Katie and I tried to sleep as much as we could. We stayed at the Breaker's Hotel and it was very nice.
Karson and Garrison played in the pools all morning and then after lunch they would both take a nap for 2-3 hours. Keith and Dyran stayed in the room while they were napping and Katie and I got to spend good, quality time enjoying the sun and just doing nothing (except talking of course). We went out to eat in the evenings and then spent the rest of the nights at Broadway at the Beach or Barefoot Landing. Garrison rode almost all the rides but Karson (who is very timid with anything new) mainly watched Garrison. We did get her on the train though. It was a very enjoyable trip and we look forward to many more vacations in the years to come.

We ate outside at Joe's Crab Shack and Karson and Garrison kept dropping brocolli and lettuce into the water for the fish. Look at what they attracted!!!

This was hilarious. Karson and Garrison took a bath together most every night. The tub had jets and of course they had to turn them on. This made tons of bubbles and they loved it.

Eating Popcicles

This past weekend we went to eat with Keith, Katie, and Garrison. Afterwards, they came to our house so Karson and Garrison could play. I snapped this picture when they were in the back of Dyran's truck eating popcicles.

Look at That Face!!

These are just a few pictures I took one evening. I feel so blessed to have such a beautiful baby girl.

Rolled up Like a Burrito

Dyran and Karson were playing in the floor one night and he kept rolling her up in this blanket (her favorite blanket by the way). He would say, "I'm gonna roll you up like a burrito" and she thought this was hilarious. She would just laugh and say, "roll me up like a buwitto Daddy." Of course she also wanted to roll us up like a "buwitto."

A Couple of Cute Outfits

My mom and I have a serious weakness - buying clothes for Karson. There are sooo many cute clothes for little girls and we (mostly my mom) just can't help ourselves.

All Dressed Up

Over Memorial Day Weekend, Dr. Browder's daughter got married. Dr. Browder is the physician I work for. Some of us went to the wedding and it was quite amazing. The wedding was at the new St. John Newman Catholic Church and the reception was at Cherokee County Club. It was truly a fairy tale wedding.

Thanks for a great evening Dr. B and I was very happy to see that your dance lessons payed off!!!
