Summer Swimming & Aunt Dusty's Birthday!

Aunt Dusty's birthday was on a Monday. We headed up to her house the Saturday before to meet Nana and Papa and to swim and celebrate her birthday. Poor Daniel had to work but the girls and I got to go.
Aunt Dusty has bunnies who live in her front yard.
 Nana always has treats for the girls. Charlotte was thrilled with the Teddy Grahams Nana got for her. 

 Papa gave the girls rides on his legs. Love it!













It was a truly beautiful day!

Just Life!

One day I was trying to relax in the bath and this is what I look over to see. She makes me laugh.
 Charlotte always makes a mess in big sister's closet.


 She likes to accessorize herself.

Bass Lake!

This lake is about an hour and fifteen minutes away from us and for whatever reason, we've never gone to spend time there. We've eaten at a restaurant at the lake but that's it. The restaurant is actually the place where we had our rehearsal dinner.
 I was really wanting to make a trip to the beach this summer but since it looked like it wasn't going to happen we opted for a quick day trip up to Bass Lake and I'm so happy we did!
 I'm
 in love
 with
 these pictures!




 I wonder what the girls will think of these pictures of them together when they're older. I hope they cherish them as much as I already do.
 At the end of the day, Charlotte hung out with her daddy on the beach while Morgan and I swam together. We swam for at least solid hour together. It was some amazing bonding time for us. We swam while listening to crashing waves and watching boats and taking in the scenery. Some of the time she just rested in my arms. We laughed, talked and just soaked up the amazing experience of leisurely swimming in a lake together. I know it meant as much to her as it did me. 
And apparently, after looking at these pictures, Charlotte and Daniel had as much fun as we did!




 Leave it to Daniel to let her play with a bottle of wine. :)

 Our animal whisperer was at it again. 


 Daniel helped Charlotte up the hill. Look at that big girl!
It was a great day!

More Random Goodness!

I know it's silly to be thinking about this already but I'm really going to be sad when Charlotte moves into a big girl bed. I love having a little one still in a crib.


 I'm wondering if she can get any more food on her face. For some reason whenever she eats peanut butter she manages to get it way up her nose. I can't imagine how that must smell for the rest of the day until she gets her bath. 
 Lunch with my sissy! For the record, the tacos on the Skinnylicious menu at The Cheesecake Factory is to die for. Yum, I want some now. 

 My gorgeous girl.
