Just had to compare

Hadley's first trip to the beach on her 1st birthday.

Our vacation to Gulf Shores.

Kids with Brent & Ryan on a raft in the Gulf.
Hadley was NOT on-board.

She had rather play in the sand. Notice she would not sit down.

Brave girl going down the slide by herself.

Going down the slide with Daddy. The guy they are splashing
thought he was catching his son. Yikes!

Hadley at the bar in LuLu
Cool place that is owned by Jimmy Buffett's sister.

Kiddos dancing on the stage.

Walking on the beach.

Jumping the waves with Daddy. Yes, that is a big wave
right behind them. The waves were awesome that night!

Our last morning in Gulf Shores.
Me and Hadley on the beach.

Just couldn't get that girl to smile. She wanted to be
at the pool instead of the beach.

Swimming Lessons

Hadley has been taking swimming lessons at the club. She has really improved after a few lessons with Miss Anna. Miss Anna is a local girl that swims for the U of Kentucky.

Catching up on pictures

I forgot to take front photo of our house. So here it is.

Here is a planter that I did for our front door. Actually I made 2 of them.

Hadley being silly

Outside grilling

Yes, she dressed herself. It is 90 degrees and she stills wants those long flowered pants on (even today she tried to put them on).

Check out the little slugger.

Here are some pictures from our first few days in Auburn. Brent and Hadley heard the icecream man down the street, so they had to go and check things out.

The icecream adventure was a success.

So was just so cute, I had to take her picture!
