Myrtle Beach

It's been awhile since I've updated the blog, but it's because we've been so busy. My parents, sister, brother, Ashlie's boyfriend, Aaron, and Joey's friend, Chris, came down to vacation with us. We spent five days in Myrtle Beach and had a super relaxing and fun time. Like most vacations, this one went way too fast. There's already talk of another family vacation next summer! Fortunately we had a few more days together before everyone headed back home after MB.

Chaz is back to work and as always, we're both busy. Chaz at work and me at home with the children. We're both making all the necessary preparations for the upcoming deployment. We still have lots we want to do before then, so check back for more pictures! Enjoy!

Ava's first time in the pool... sort of... only her legs got wet! Ava sure looked cute hanging out with Nana under the umbrella!

Swimming with Papa Bathing Beauty Daddy and Andrew in the Atlantic Ocean Andrew's first ride at the Nascar Speedway - he loved it and the more Chaz could spin the car, the more he liked it (although you can't tell from this picture)! Ava hanging out with Mommy

Andrew 'playing' LRC with the family Ava got in on the game, too! Broadway at the Beach... feeding the fish and ducks our leftovers from Margaritaville Ava and Papa sitting in the shade while Andrew rode the kiddie rides The first of many rides this day... the motorcycle was the second and most likely his favorite ride Mr. Serious! Riding the carousel like a big boy (although daddy was only feet away!) Ava got bored watching her brother on the rides and shopping with mommy and Nana ... so she opted for a nap!
