Mary Ruth Having Fun

"Daddy......" That is what she said right before this picture.

Sometimes, she's an angel.

Burrr!!! It's cold. Mary Ruth is very animated.

Toothpick! She loves toothpick (something she learned at nastics).


I took Mary Ruth out one afternoon just let her play around. She had so much fun.

James at the Beach

Look at that smiling boy! He is pretty much happy all the time.

James and Daddy testing out the waves.
Well, looks like James was the only one having fun during the family portrait attempt.

Mary Ruth and James on the Beach

Mary Ruth and James on the beach and with Josh in the top one. Lots of beach pictures, but I am not great at keeping up with the scrapbooks so I guess this is kind of serving that purpose too.

Mary Ruth, James, and Emma on the Beach

So, maybe the kids weren't as interested in taking pictures as me, but we tried! Aren't they cute!

Surfer Girls

Mary Ruth and her cousin Emma had lots of fun 'surfing.' They wanted to try some of Uncle Andrews moves.

Hanging Out at the Beach

Being a beach bum is hard work!!

I need some sun too! James could care less one way or the other, but Mary Ruth is loving the beach or the WEEE as she calls it. She likes for the waves to splash her. She also likes making sand castles. She says WOW everytime she dumps the plastic toy full of sand. It is like magic to her. I think I have a beach girl! Yeah, Mama likes that!

Emerald Isle

We are spending this week in Emerald Isle, NC. More pictures to come!
