Beach after Church



After teaching Sunday school we headed over to the beach for a little picnic. It was such a nice day. It was even warm enough that Lola actually wanted to play in the surf. She tired momma out so daddy had to take a turn. She hardly played in the sand; she just wanted to let the waves crash on her legs. 

Zoo trip




Well, we think it’s official that now Lola’s favorite part of going to the zoo is to brush the goats. She spent an entire 1/2 hour playing in the goat pin. It was feed the beast day at the zoo, so everyone was suppose to bring in something to share with the animals. The first 200 people could go in the elephant pin to ”hide” it for the 5 elephants. We brought some peaches and received free ride tokens (Yeah!). We took daddy on a train ride. It was a fun morning. 

Thanks for nice shades!


We all love the shades Lola received for her birthday from Audrey and the Spotts. She wears them all the time. She has a mouth full cookies here. Thanks for the shades and the clothes too!

Thanks for the new clothes!


Lola loved her new out fits from Grammy. She kept trying to wear the skirt over her pajamas. She’s holding a fish that she taps to make music. On this afternoon we were making a lot of it. Notice the bells on the floor too.

4th of July night



For the evening we ate a little dinner at home then bundled up to go to the ocean. We headed back over the hill to watch the fireworks at HMB. We both agree that it was one of the coolest things we have done. At the beginning of the night there were still surfers out in the water. So that was cool to watch. It was a foggy night and the fireworks lit up the sky with a cool effect. It was so fun to be on the beach and watching them. Definitely the coldest fourth of July we either could remember but certainly the most unforgettable. It was our first outing with Granny’s quilt.We wish our family could have seen it too.

4th of July day




For the day of the 4th- we went on a buggie ride then drove over the hill to watch a parade at Half Moon Bay where Lola saw her friends from church. Then we went to this little farm playland where she was able to ride a pony and feed some goats and jump  in a bouncy house. After that we headed home to rest for the long night ahead.

Lola is on a good road to dental health with as much as she brushes her teeth. She’s been through 3 tooth brushes at least and she’s only 2.

Tug o War


One of Lola and Winston’s favorite things to do is to play tug o war. They use an old sock of Daddy’s. She hangs on and on. It’s fun watching them play together.

To the Zoo to the Zoo


We went to the zoo on a lazy Saturday Morning. Lola had fun running all over the place and of course petting the goats.

Thank you too!



Granny and PaPaw from Kentucky sent Lola an assortment of fun in a box. Lola loved, loved the chocolate. She was very tickled to have the new puzzle too.
