Every year we go to the beach the first week in July. It is something the family looks forward to all year, and we really enjoy spending time together. Our house is right on the beach and it just doesn’t get any better than this!

Chase and Pop Pop

Jimmy got in on the beach action as well, he hung out with me under the umbrella. As much as I miss being in the sun, I burn while wearing SPF 70 so I give up!

Jimmy and Momma

I know I might be a *bit* biased, but I think these are two handsome little men! A century ago I could have made some good money off arranged marriages for these heartbreakers.

Jimmy 5 mos

Chase 2 weeks from being 2!

So all in all it was a great week with the family I am so blessed to have married into such an amazing group of people! I am already looking forward to next years trip. Chase will be days away from 3 and Jimmy will be 18 mos, thats sounds about perfect to me!

PS- While I am the shortest by a couple inches I am not THIS short. I dug into the sand a bit to make sure you could see Sarah behind me!
