Happy Birthday Ava!

My niece, Ava, had a nail salon birthday party and my girls had a blast! I could not believe how still Mallory was while the tech was clipping her finger nails! She gives me a fit when I try to do it. Now I know where to go when its time

to clip her piggies! She is no dummy!

Miss Ava Reece

The girls made their very own cupcakes! Can you tell?

Braden, Mallory and Gavin

Ava and Nicole (my sister in law)

All the girls!

Look at Madi's tan feet!

Sweet Mallory

This is the life!

The birthday girl!

Beach baby, beach babies...

These girls love the camera! Thank God, because every time they turn around, I have it in their faces. I just couldn't resist snapping pictures of them in their bikinis.

3 out of 4 girls loved the beach!

Madi only took a break from the water to go potty!

Mallory loved the waves splashing into her piggies! They must have sat like this for hrs!

Ashlyn has loved the water since birth! Look at all of those tiny shells in her hair.

"What is this crap? Are you kidding me?"

" Leave me right here, eating my cereal, and I am good! I can see the water from right here in the back of car. Just turn on the A/C and Barney, and I am good to go! You people are crazy out there! YUCK! "

As long as she was being held, she was good.

Lake Lanier

Our friend Todd lives on Lake Lanier, and even though he doesn't have kids, he makes sure that the little ones have plenty to do! We love you Todd, and thanks for another great day on the lake!

Sweet Sam thought he needed to feed Mallory himself. He is such a doll!

Not so happy, Allie Grace! Mallory would not share her "Pree sun" (Capri Sun).


Allie Grace loved Sam's visor. Look at those chunky legs! I love it.


This is our friend Lindsey, who just tried out for the show, Wipe Out! I hope they call her. That would be hilarious to see her jump across those big red balls!


Todd bought the kids the cutest pirate pool!

Ashlyn is on the bottom left! She would not stay still long enough to get a picture!

Boys will be boys! The bigger the toys, the better! Of course they had to buy the one with the built in cooler.

Sweet Sam in the pirate pool!

Mallory

Having a ball with the cousins!

Sorry I have been M.I.A, but we have been on vacation for 2 weeks. First it was Atlanta for 5 days to visit my brother-in-law and his beautiful family, and then off to the beach! We are still here at the beach, so I will have some great pictures for you tomorrow. I am headed for bed! Miss you guys!

some pics from Atlanta

I could not get Mallory to understand that the microphone did not go all the way in her mouth like a straw! The kids put on a dance show for us, and it was adorable!

Gavin

The rock stars!

A great paparazzi shot of Madi and Ava!

The Other Canamares

Ava,Gavin,Braden,Nicole and Alex (Bill's brother)

Great Ebay finds

Are these not the cutest bathing suits ever? I found these on EBAY new with tags for $14.99 each! I guess I could be sweet and give you the seller, but then I would be bidding against all of you sweet ladies and they would go way up! OK, I will list my favorite Ebay sellers on a post this week. Smocked dresses for $20.00 all new with tags! It is an addiction, so BEWARE!

These pictures were post pool. Now they look like beach babies! They get their tan skin from Daddy!

Allie Grace

Why are we so quick to teach these precious children to walk! Miss Allie Grace is into everything. She walks, runs, and climbs on everything in site. That is probably why I am losing weight. I can't keep up with her. That, and the fact that I joined the gym on 5-13, and have only missed 3 days of working out. Yeah Me! OK, here are some pics of sweet Allie.

"Here I go again. Come and get me before I grab more flowers and stick them in my mouth, or dirt, grass, maybe some rocks...

Greenville Zoo

We had our first play date of the summer on Tuesday, and the girls had a ball! We went to the Greenville Zoo with my sister Lauren and her precious little ones.

Mallory, Krew and Madi

Lauren holding my precious niece, Kaiden.

Krew would not stop eating the crackers that we bought to feed the animals. It was hilarious. I guess boys will be boys!

Mallory was so concerned about the elephant being dirty! I have created a monster.

Allie has a new toy!

Allie Grace with her new toy! It looks so funny to see her little body riding around on that 4 wheeler!

This is Allie Grace claiming HER toy!

This is Mallory not listening to her little sister!
Next time I will get a picture of Allie Grace riding. I was too busy walking right beside her the entire time. She did do a great job, and pushes the button to make it run all by herself!
