Sherry's 42nd Beach Birthday

We needed one last summer weekend, and Mommy's birthday falls on Labor Day weekend so we hit the road to our favorite beach destination at Dune's Village in Myrtle Beach.  We spent the day on the beach, ate lunch at the resort restaurant, and enjoyed a game of putt-putt.  Of course, Mommy was gifted the birthday crud from getting too hot on the beach and then getting to cold inside in the restaurant, but we still had a good time.  At home, Mommy had picked out a yummy cake she wanted to try from a dessert restaurant downtown.  

Grayson said the water was perfect. 

Maggie looked threatening with her shovel. 

These almost twins just always have fun together. 

Mattox was using his goggles as sun protection. 

Brody is always all in to the water. 

The old parents just enjoying the views. 

And these best buddies only wanted to get their feet wet.

Snacks on the beach are a must. 

Maggie wanted to boogey board. 

Evan is always cool in his shades.

And these two are pretty handsome guys!

Excited to be at their favorite place even if it was a short trip with no waterpark this time.

What a cute Hawaiian couple!  Haha!

So long Myrtle Beach.  See you soon!

My yummy peach and cream cheese cake. 

Turning 42 isn't so bad with this crew.  Time really is flying.  In 10 years, I will be 52 with all of these kids grown or almost grown.  


Papa joined the party. 

I had a great team to help blow out the candles. 

And to help eat the cake of course!

What I'm Loving August {2022}

Our August 2022 wrapped up a wonderful summer spending many days in the pool together.  Here is what we were loving this month: 


Starting the month with some pool time.  

Grayson learned to swim underwater. 

All of these water babies like swimming underwater. 

Grayson is really happy when cousin Grady comes to visit. 

We really love when Evan will join us in the pool.

These two, Brody and Mattox, usually stay in the pool the longest.
