Beach ...

Johnny and I are at the beach this first full week of October

we don't usually come down this late in the year

but his sister from Atlanta rented a house

and invited all of us

and you know I will not ever turn down a trip to the beach

especially the outer banks!

and we're staying on the sound this trip

which is really cool as we have a 360 view of water!!

and a beautiful house to stay in......this house is 5700 sq ft!!!

that above is the back of the house

I took this from the dock

the gate goes to the pool

below are a couple of our views of the sound

and please excuse the dust spots on the sensor in my camera

I don't have photoshop with me to get rid of it :)

but can you even believe these views!!!



I would just love to wake up to this every day!!

later....

Just some pictures ....

I took this picture the other night

and the only light was the neighbors porch light

it's a bit blurry...but I just think it's neat looking



and the girls really missed Jake while he was gone on his cruise

here's Pippa Lou insisting on taking her nap ON Jake!!

and of course lots of kisses....

later....

Dogs ....

I love, love, love my dogs.....

they make me smile when I wake up

 smile when I come home from work

and snuggle with Johnny and I when we go to sleep

I'm at the beach right now missing these little girls

they love to eat carrots for snacks

that's little Pippa Lou

 our beautiful Bella Boo

and my old Chrissy girl....she will be 13 on Nov 1st



later.....

Maddox turned 7 ....

It's hard to believe that our sweet grandson has turned 7

time just flies by way too fast

a little update for those that follow....

he's doing great

still loving school

and starting to be very verbal

there's a lot of noise coming out of that sweet mouth now

we're just not sure what he is saying

but after all of these years of silence, that noise is sweet

music to our ears

It also means that the connection from his brain to his

mouth, jaw, tongue, vocal cords .... it's all working together

words will come

we know they will

we had a little family birthday for him and he really

had a lot of fun opening up his presents....

and he loves stickers....

and action figures....

silly Nicole and Tyler...

this is a better one...haha!

and the expectant parents.....Jacquelyn and Bucky

and Johnny was in charge of getting the cake and this

is what he got for his grandSON!! haha....I think he was going

after the biggest cake even though it had flowers on it



my sweet sweet Maddie Moo........

they just grow up too fast..

later...
