Seaside Fun

He was very excited about learning about the beach because that's where we were heading for the 4th of July! This was a momma and Turner trip. With baby girl coming, Daddy had to stay back and save those vacation days. We had a blast with Shugie, the  Unks and Aunts! They were kind enough to let Turner and I (and Ellery!) tag along without a Daddy. I cherished it because now with two kids..I don't see that happening anymore. At this time I was 6 months pregnant, so I also needed help because of that! The weather was wonderful at the beginning and Tuner LOVED, LOVED the beach! It rained the second 1/2 of our trip, but Turner was still on cloud nine because he was surrounded by many people he would love nothing more than be in a house while raining for days!



Buried Unk a 'few' times.

He fell asleep like this and slept almost 2 hours..it was so nice to just sit on the beach while he rested.

He loved being held by his arms and dipping his feet when a wave came up! He wanted to do this many, many times

LOVED seeing the ice cream truck! In Seaside you have to eat your popsicle quick or it will vanish!

Night stroll with Uncle West and Aunt Nat
He loved taking all the chairs and piling them up.

Hard at work!

Taking a snack break after being in the hot sun. He loved getting seashells or what not with the Uncles...the entire trip he pretty much would do whatever they Uncles said and wanted to do EVERYTHING they did. It was really cute watching him. He really looks up to his uncles.

Snack break with Unk! My favorite thing was Turner was taking a walk with Uncle Caul and he said, "Ya know, Turner...I really like you!" Turner looked up at him and bluntly said, "I like Unk." He was stuck to Unk's hip the entire time.

Out on the town!



Waiting at the Red Bar being spoiled

Crazy hair with the Aunts! He REALLY needs to get some boy cousins!

He LOVED playing Jenga with the boys..and he was really good at it! Again, he would copy anything the boys did.
Happy 4th of July!!! I brought a bunch of 4th of July festive wear to party that day! It rained all that day, so the fam was very nice on playing with Turner and wearing their 4th tattoo!

Showing off their guns

On the 4th their was a break in the weather so I took Turner on a 3 hour bike ride. It was such a great time with him! We went and watched the crashing waves and Turner was in aw.


There's usually a parade that we attend in the morning. It was so cute- while we were out that afternoon lines and lines of cars were coming into town for the 4th..Tman thought it was the parade and started waving and talking about the cars. People around joined in and waved at him and such. We went to their park and played many times and he loved it!



Eating his firecracker popsicle in honor of the 4th!


That night we played Monopoly. again, Turner loved it. He was very good at keeping up with the money and actually listened and followed instructions a lot of the time. He just loves being with his family (as you know, he has a pretty awesome family!)

So sad. Turner and I miss out a lot on nighttime fun because of being young and having a child. He was so sad to have to go to bed while they play monopoly, but as we know...this makes for LONG days if they don't go to bed. I am just thankful there was a tv with cable and my phone! Entertainment while he slept.

Styling with Aunt Lillipop!





Poolside fun

We love swimming at Grandmama and Poppa's! I failed again this summer enrolling him in a swim class, BUT he is not afraid of the water and does very well. It's on the list for next summer. IT just seems the times and date is never convenient.

I think Addison has more fun than we do!

Spraying Grandmama!
Racing Uncle Beej

Racing Grandmama- Turner won

Taking a break to pick some carrots from the garden
And it's always good to stay shaded during these hot summer days

Bubble Fun and More

Bubble Bath fun! turner and I decided to relax and enjoy a nice bubble bath! Since he's been born, we have not yet once used this tub!


One of our favorite restaurants!

Happy 8 year anniversary! This meal above was the best meal ever...especially when pregnant!

Walking around the square. The place behind us is where Addison had my ring designed. Just walking around the square and chatting was the best with how busy we have been and having a toddler!



Happy Father's Day, Daddy!!

I told Addison that we will look back at these pictures and see most of his moments taken in this recliner.. :)

We wrote four things we love about Daddy

These two are the best!
 
We started the transformation into the big boy room to get ready for Ellery's arrival! I am so glad we did it in June because it was a great transition and was great to check it off my list. It was crazy how fast the summer went! It took only one weekend to move Turner to his 'big boy' room and he LOVES it! Our good friend, Janice, came over and helped with it and did an incredible job. I was so glad to use a lot of his items Shugie and Lillipop created in his baby room in his big boy room. It was a great balance.
 
 
 
 
Turner had to help paint the red wall.

 
Final product! The red wall makes all the difference.

Turner is having a ball over the summer for sure!
