Live, Love and Make Memories!
This summer seems to have come and gone before my very eyes. I am so thankful that I am fortunate enough to have these summer days with my loves. And as it comes to a close, I sit and reflect on all that we did! I am incredibly thankful for the memories made and the time I was able to spend each day with these loves of mine! If only it could last just a bit longer!
So in a whirlwind post, here are a few of the Best Memories and Moments and Summer Highlights that made Summer 2014 a summer of Living, Loving and Making Memories!
#1 Beach Vacations
From Edisto to Pawleys to Garden City! The Bailey Bunch lived in the sand and sun!! I am now more convinced that I could live in a beach chair everyday and I am pretty sure as long as I had the appropriate beach gear and snacks(!!), I could convince my children to do the same!
#2 Cousin Chaos!
Counsins typically = Chaos! And what more perfect time to have some cousin craziness than on summer days filled with sun and sand! Capturing these moments is priceless in so many ways to me! Looking back at them is even more precious! I love the special love that my loves share for their cousins! Bring on the chaos and craziness!
#3 Family
"We are family, forever and always"
Thankfully, my loves are surrounded by so many that love them to the ends of the earth! I know they go to bed each night and lay their heads down knowing they are loved. I know they are surrounded by wonderful examples of family and love and for that I am eternally grateful. I pray they see the happiness in the families they are surrounded by and allow it to impact them as they get bigger and begin families of their own!
#4 Fishing
For as long as I can remember, my Mamaw and my dad have always loved to fish. Now that my own loves are of decent age and are beginning to get the gist of the whole fishing thing… docks were important to our summer memories! Many laughs, many scares, many successes, many sunsets and many treasured moments my heart holds dear!
#5 Pool Days!
When you can't dig your toes into the sand, you might as well find a pool chair to lounge on right?! I'd be scared to total the number of hours my little loves spent in the chlorine of the RHCC this summer! CrossPool Champ Charlie, Diving Diva Wylie, HeadStanding Bess and No Fear Ben… each little love enjoyed the RHCC to it's fullest! Not so sure Daddy's bill and wallet always enjoyed it but we are thankful for the entertainment and sunshine it allowed us to soak up!
#5 "THE SLIDE"
Pretty sure when my little loves are asked to think back on a memory of summer, "the slide Chris bought us" will come up!! I mean, it was of gigantic proportion!! What 6, 5 or 3 year old would not love to have a double dolphin slide all to themselves for an entire day!! I'm thinking even an adult wouldn't mind this either!! Certainly, the last day of our beach vacation was made extra special by this gigantic treat from Chris and Fran! The little loves sure are loved! And blessed!
And that is only the beginning!! Hold tight for the next installment of the Living, Loving and Memories we made in Summer 2014 !
...Until tomorrow and part 2 of our Savored Summer!
