relax…
it’s only thirty-three people in one beach house for one whole week…..
what could possibly happen? a lot actually. a few birthday celebrations, an anniversary, a graduation party, a gender reveal and of course just fun late nights and lazy afternoons on the beach. w a r n i n g … this post is mainly pictures {which most of my posts are 🙂 } but this one is extreme. because so many memories were made in this house and we tried our best to capture it all when we weren’t too sandy or holding babies…
it was simply the best.

{ten months}
anna kate frances, sweet thing this month is the month you have become just a little big girl!
you are starting to stand for a few seconds at a time all by yourself. you are eating big people food happily! we have learned you cannot have anything dairy related. anything. you love music and dancing. you love being upstairs with all the toys. you love falling asleep next to daddy. you have eight teeth visible! you are a happy traveler as long as mama is near by. you light up every room. we cant believe how fast you are growing! we love you sweet ak!

first of many…
what a great get away we had! southern california was so good to us. we visited with family, had a night out and just enjoyed the sites and our time together so much! anna kate you were a trooper on the flight and learned a few new tricks this week. clapping your hands and waving hi to everyone, you had people just squealing over you and no it wasn’t just me and daddy. jack you loved the beach so much! the first visit was a lot to take in but then you fell in love. samuel, you and sand were love at first site. you even poured a handful on your head. just for fun. crazy kids… you were excellent travelers which excites mama and daddy for many more future adventures ahead!

{nine is fine}
anna kate frances is nine months! i told daddy today this has got to be one of my favorite ages…
so lovey and starting to get a little more brave with her every move…
little ak, at nine months you have six teeth making more and more of an appearance every day with four more coming through as well! you love showing us how big you are. you are a skilled crawler and pick up quite the speed when you hear us running bath water. you climb up on everything {window seals included}. you love music. love. it. baby kangaroo is your theme song. you are getting more excited about trying new foods. unfortunately, we are seeing you break out with almost everything you eat when we are out and about. you are entertained by the brothers, a mama’s girl and you have daddy wrapped around your finger. this is going to be a fun summer ahead watching you grow and explore. stay as sweet as you are baby girl and keep dancing!
we love you to pieces anna kate!

our faith is so amazing. as nadia has reminded all of us “kolbe has helped us remember the mystical truths of our faith”
a beautiful day to rejoice indeed!

reminds me of…
the one i love… deep in the heart of texas.
when you realize your neighbors have an amazing corner of bluebonnets, you take an evening stroll all dressed up… oh, and you happen to have your camera 😉

{eight months}
anna kate frances, my little love,
this month you are a go getter. from perfecting a speedy crawl to pulling up on almost everything, you are our own little dora the explorer.
you are still in our room. i don’t know why i’m having such a hard time moving you out. i think i may be in denial of how big you are getting. you are eating a little at every meal now and loving it. you are starting to just fall asleep on me for your naps. you love giving kisses.. you always have your mouth open when you are excited. you are cutting the top four teeth now, which i think made you feel so cruddy the last month along with getting a mild case of bronchitis. you still love anything with a tag and all your paci friends…. you are everybody’s favorite. happy eight months anna kate. we love you baby girl!
xxoo
{okay these pictures just make me want to go scoop you up from your sleep …:) }
