P365 CATCHUP! JULY 13-19 WHEW!

OK. SO HERE'S THE DEAL. WE HAVE TO BE OUT OF OUR HOUSE BY THE END OF THE MONTH. THAT MEANS I DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE TAKING PICTURES EVERYDAY A PRIORITY. SO, I WILL POST AT LEAST 1 PICTURE EACH DAY. IF I GET [ICS OF THAT DAY I'LL PUT THEM UP HERE. IF NOT, I'LL JUSTPOST ABOUT OUR DAY WITH A PICTURE I HAVEN'T POSTED BEFORE. SO, HERE GOES!!!!

-JULY 13 (P 365 DAY 8):

TODAY WE LEFT FOR THE BEACH. IT TOOK FOREVER TO GET GOING BECAUSE JO JO, MY SISTER'S DOG (WHO WAS GOING WITH US) WAS SICK & ZACH HAD TO GET A TOOTH REPAIRED BECAUSE HE HAD A FILLLING FALL OUT ON SATURDAY. ONCE WE GOT GOING WE STOPPED FOR NUMERUS POTTY BREAKS & MINOR EMERGENCIES THANKS TO THE 3 YEAR OLD TRAVELING WITH US. IT RAINED BUT WAS NOT A BAD. WE WENT TO CALABASH FOR SEAFOOD & HEADED BACK TO THE HOUSE TO HANG OUT.

-JULY 14 (P 365 DAY 9)

TODAY WE SPENT SEVERAL HOURS ON THE BEACH. AHNNA LEIGH LOVED IT! SHE IS JUST A SUMMER BABY. WE DIFFER IN THAT RESPECT. I LIKE SUMMER IN SMALLER AMOUNTS. I'M MUCH MORE OF A FALL/WINTER PERSON, BUT SHE IS A FLIP FLOP LOVIN, SWIMMIN, TANNED LITTLE GIRL! SHE WAS MADE FOR SUMMER! ANYWAY, AFTER WE WERE DONE WITH THE BEACH JEREMY FIXED US A LOW COUNTRY BROIL FOR SUPPER. IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THAT BEFORE, IT'S SHRIMP, POTATOS, & CORN ON THE COB ALL BOILED IN A BIG POT WITH OLD BAY SEASONING. IT WAS YUMMY! THEN WE HEADED TO BROADWAY AT THE BEACH WHERE WE LOOKED AROUND & LET AHNNA LEIGH RIDE SOME RIDES AT THE PAVILION NOSTALGIA PARK, WE FINISHED IT UP WITH A TRIP TO "FRIENDS 2 BE MADE" FOR AHNNA LEIGH TO MAKE A NEW BABY DOLL (WE OWED HER A PRIZE FOR STAYING DRY ALL NIGHT THE NIGHT BEFORE.).

GETTIN READY FOR THE SAND!!!!

I'M NOTICING A PATTERN HERE. SHE LIKES THIS POSE. SHE'S GETTIN A LITTLE BRAVER WITH IT THOUGH.

-JULY 15 (P 365 DAY 10)

TODAY WE WENT BACK OUT ON THE BEACH! THIS TIME WE HAD A BEACH TENT! WHAT A WONDERFUL INVENTION! I CAN HANDLE THE BEACH SOOO MUCH LONGER WITH A LITTLE SHADE & THIS IS EVEN NICER THAN AN UMBRELLA! AHNNA LEIGH LOVES JUMPING WAVES WITH HER DADDY! SHE GOT MORE & MORE COMFORTABLE AS THE DAY WENT ON & PLAYED A LOT MORE AT THE SHORELINE. AFTER WE CLEANED UP WE HEADED TO THE MARKET COMMON AREA FOR SUPPER AT PF CHANG'S! YUMMMMM! AFTER THAT WE LOOKED AROUND AT THE SHOPD THEN HEADED TO THE TANGER OUTLETS! THE WEATHER WAS SO NICE IN THE EVENINGS. WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER WEATHER!

LAYING OUT!

LOOKING PRETTY BY THE FOUNTAIN AT THE MARKET COMMON!

-JULY 16 (P365 DAY11)

TODAY ZACH & JEREMY WENT TO PLAY GOLF! ERIN, AHNNA LEIGH & I WENT TO GET OUR NAILS DONE. ERIN & I HAD PEDICURES & AHNNA LEIGH GOT TO SIT IN THE PEDICURE CHAIR TO GET HER TOE NAILS PAINTED. THIS PLACE HAD CHILD SIZED PEDICURE CHAIRS WITH PRINCESSES & PANDA BEARS ON THE HEADREST & BULT IN DVD PLAYERS! SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS SOMETHING ELSE & GOT HER NAILS DONE A DARK PURPLE COLOR! AFTER WE WERE DONE WE WENT TO THE MALL TO HAVE LUNCH & LOOK AROUND. AHNNA LEIGH DID THIS REALLY COOL TRAMPOLINE THING WHERE YOU ARE STRAPPED IN A HARNESS THAT IS ATTACHED TO BUNGEES SO YOU CAN SAFELY JUMP HIGHER & FLIP OR WHATEVER YOU WANT. SHE LOVED IT! SHE'S NOT SCARED OF ANYTHING & WILL DO WHATEVER SHE'S ALLOWED TO DO. ZACH & JEREMY HANDELED SUPPER AGAIN & WE HAD STEAK ON THE GRILL. ZACH'S SPECIALTY! THEY ARE REALLY GOOD (JUST ASK HIM! HA HA!). WE WERE GONNA GO TO THE BEACH FOR AN UPDATED FAMILY PICTURE BUT THE RAIN STARTED BEFORE WE COULD GET THERE & WOULDN'T STOP! WHEN WE WERE CHANGING OIUT OF OUR "PICTURE CLOTHES" AHNNA LEIGH CLIMBED UP ON OUT BED & WANTED TO JUMP UP & LAND ON HER BOTTO. WE TOLD HER NOT TO DO THIS BECAUSE SHE COULD FALL & GET HURT. BEING 3, SHE IMMEDIATELY STOOD UP TO DO IT AGAIN. WE BOTH SAID, "NO." & REACHED TO MAKE HER SIT DOWN. BEFORE WE COULD GET HER SHE DID IT AGAIN & FELL OFF THE BED & HIT HER HEAD ON A BOOKSHELF! WE THOUGHT SHE JUST HIT IT REALLY HARD BUT WE I LEANED HER BACK TO LOOK HER IN THE FACE TO CALM HER DOWN ZACH NOTICED THAT HER HEAD WAS BLEEDING!!!! SHE BLED ALL OVER ME! IT WAS SO SCARY! HEAD WOUNDS BLEED LIKE CRAZY! SHE CALMED DOWN AFTER 3-4 MINUTES & WANTED A POPSICLE WHICH WE LET HER EAT ON THE WAY TO THE ER. WE LEFT ABOUT AN HOUR LATER WITH 3 STAPLE IN HER HEAD & JITTERY NERVES! AFTER GETTING SOME ICE CREAM, WE ALL CRASHED!!!!

-JULY 17 (P365 DAY12)

WE HEADED HOME TODAY AFTER BREAKFAST AT THE PANCAKE HOUSE. IT WAS RAINY AGAIN. WE FOUND OUT OUR CONTRACT ON OUR HOUSE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED! YEAHY! WE ARE REALLY GONNA HAVE TO GET BUSY FIXING UP OUR NEXT HOUSE & PACKING UP OUR CURRENT ONE! NO STRESS AT ALL! (SARCASM)

I HAD TO DECORATE MY MUSIC ROOM FOR VBS THAT STRTS TOMORROW & ZACH HAD A FEW HOURS OF WORK BU OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS ALL WORK ON THE NEW HOUSE. AHNNA LEIGH STAYED WITH ZACH'S MOM SO WE COULD GET A LOT DONE WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT HER GETTING HURT. AFTER ZACH RAN TO THE CHURCH TO PRACTICE WITH THE BAND FOR VBS WE STARTED SANDING DOWN THE OLD HARDWOOD FLOORS TO STAIN THEM. WE ARE SOOOOO EXHAUSTED. THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG 2 WEEKS!
