The Beach...the Beach...

We just spent a week at the beach...it was soo niiiiiiiiiiiiice! We had so many adventures, so instead of one HUGE post of tons of pictures, I have broken it into chapters (hahahaha). Mainly because I am a Mama who takes a TON of pictures of each little event...sorry, I'm just anal and want to document everything with great pictures! So enjoy our beach pics!

Walking out the first time.. Tired from traveling overnight to get to the beach (left Vegas on a 1am flight...fun, fun), but still excited!
So sweet
Touching the water for the first time with Aunt Noelle.
Disappearing feet.

Watching the waves.
uh-oh, they're gone!!

And Cash got in on the action with Isabel.

The Beach: An evening at LuLu's

We spent the day shopping at the outlet mall, and then headed over to Jimmy Buffet's sister's joint, LuLu's. It was fabulous! They had something for everyone!

At the outlet mall, Dad trying on the itty bitty hat.

Their carousel is not as fancy as our Las Vegas Outlet Mall's carousel.
That hat is the cutest...the best 99cents I spent all week!
Doing the 'Victoria' (posing like Posh Spice)...hahaha! Cash doesn't have the pose perfected yet.
Doing the 'Home Alone'...again, Cash out of the loop on that one!

Playing at LuLu's with Aunt Weezer.
Waiting on our table.
Daddy got us some yummy drinks...
virgin drinks! With her favorite...whip cream!

mmmmm...whip cream...

Can't get enough of that whip cream.
Enjoying an Alabama oyster...cocktail sauce on a saltine.
The live band was great....and Mabs danced the entire time, while the girls shoved food in her mouth between dance moves!
Our whole party.

The Beach: Feeding the Sandpipers at the Sandpiper

There were starving birds on the beach (wink wink)...so we fed the poor little birdies. So much fun!

They saw us coming...

Mabelle chasing down the birds, throwing the bread AT the birds.

With her Isabel, after an exhausting few minutes of bird feeding.
Rinsing off our feet, such a good helper!

The Beach: Ferris Wheel

We ventured to The Wharf one night to see what was there...not much. Shopping and a HUGE ferris wheel, which immediately caught one little girl's eye. She asked the entire time to rider the ferris wheel...so Mama (being the good Mama that I am), decided I would take her. It was soo tall, I couldn't even look up at it, or I knew I'd chicken out. Once we were on, Mabelle LOVED it, she was peeking out over the edge of the bucket, waving, and refusing to let me hold her hand, touch her, or put my arm around her. I was a nervous wreck. The sacrifices we make as Mamas...hahahaha!

Just gettting on it, I'm all smiles and so is Mabs.

Thinking I might vomit. It was sooo high.
That's us up there.
"Can I go on the ferris wheel again?"

The Beach: Mabelle & the Cake

It was Mimi's birthday while we were there, and Mabelle was VERY helpful with the cake duties...if those duties are dipping your finger in the icing, licking it & repeating this over and over. She loves her frosting :)

Showing Mimi how its done.

Both enjoying the frosting, while Ms. Weezer Preggers looks on...lol!
Mmmmm....
"This is my cake, and this is my cake. It's my birthday."
Finally a piece of cake...she only ate the frosting.

The poor cake that was attacked by Mabelle.

The boys...

Who doesn't love dog food?

Cash is enamored with the dog bowls...especially the dog food and water in them! He moves like lightening when he spots them, arrives and proceeds to splash in the yucky water or try to eat the dogs gourmet lamb & brown rice food. I try to catch him everytime, but, boy, is he faaaast!

Random Photos...

Just some pics from before the move and after the move...none during the move. Maybe I didn't want reminders of it, or wanted to block it out. hahahaha!

More of that love.

Mabelle in "HER" excersaucer...we all know it was hers, but its Cash's now, and he doesn't having problems sharing.
Yup...our genius can fly a helicopter.
Just about as cute as it gets.
Can you even believe our Uhaul truck had the Statue of Liberty on it??? Mabelle was quick to point that out. For anyone who doesn't know, she is absolutely obsessed with the Statue of Liberty.
And "HER" bouncer....she's so sweet!
