Beach Trip 2009

We went to Panama City Beach for the week this summer with two other families. We met both families through the playgroup Haley and I joined. We have a lot of fun hanging out with them, so decided a week at the beach would be fun. Both families have little girls around Haleys age. The Rowans have Lily that will be 2 in September and Davis that was born in April and the Andersons have McKenzie that was 2 last December and have another little girl Juliana due in October. We rented a 4 bedroom condo and cooked in half the time for dinner and went out to eat the other nights. We had pretty good weather. One day we went to St. Andrews Park so the girls could play in the lagoon area for the day. They loved it!!

Happy 4th of July

Haley, Bits(my mom) and I got up the morning of the 4th and went to the little 4th of July parade in downtown Braselton. AJ was playing in a golf tournament so he wasnt able to go with us. It was definately a small town parade that only lasted about 10 minutes, but Haley liked watching the people go by. She even got some candy that was thrown out.

We watched the Chateau Elan fireworks from our sideyard. This has been great the past few years. We get to hangout with our neighbors and watch fireworks without having to deal with the crowds or traffic afterwards. The growth of the trees each year is making it harder, but we can still see them. We will have to move to the front yard next year to see.

With Grandma and Boppa

AJ's parents came down for Haley's birthday and to spend a few days with us. We had fun with them, just wish it had been longer. Hopefully we will get to see them again soon - maybe even before Cooper gets here.

Spending time with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma McCready

My moms parents were in town for a week at the end of June. We had fun spending time with them. Haley has starting calling them Papa and Nana, because their other great-granddaughter calls them that.

2 year old checkups

I took Haley to the dentist for the 1st time and she HATED it! You would have thought they were killing her when they tried to look in her mouth. The funny thing is, we brush her teeth almost every night and she is fine with it. The dentist finally pryed her mouth open to at least get flouride on her teeth. We will try again in 6 months. Hopefully by the time she really needs it, she wont be so scared.

I also took her to the doctor for her 2 year checkup. She got a few shots, but everything else looked good. She was 25 lbs and 34 inches tall. That put her in the 28%tile for weight and 62%tile for height. Hopefully she will always stay tall and skinny! :)
