The Beach trip we will not soon forget!

So our beach trip with my parents was eventful to say the least! Neilie brought along a stomach virus that was passed around to me, Claire, and my mom! Now this is your ordinary 24 hour bug! When I called the doctor they said it was a 7 DAY VIRUS!!! Are you kidding me!?!?!? Who gets a 7 day virus on the first night of vacation? The Puckett/Chappell Clan thats who! Talk about a bummer! We still made a good time of it. we were able to get a little time on the beach.

Isn't that a sweet baby!?! This was pre-stomach virus... just a tired little one!



Neilie didn't love the beach! She had rather swim in the pool but she made the best of it.



Ok this is my little ClaireBear pouring buckets of ocean water on herself. She loved it! When she would run out of water she would hand them to my mom for her to go fill up. My mom tried to take her with her but she was terrified of the ocean!!!



Check out this "Big Girl"! She is into that now. Anything she does is the Big Girl fill-in-the-blank! Oh and by the way... she is really into Peter Pan. I told her this was a balance beam but she said she was having to "Walk the Plank!" I love her creativity!



The last pic is one of Claire and her favorite person... her Papa!!! She loves him. Her name is Claire Thomas after my daddy... kinda likes she knows she is his namesake! Neat, huh!?!



Overall we had a good time but next year... we are bringing more towels!

Neilie and Claire on the Beach

We just got back yesterday from the beach. We went to Myrtle Beach and stayed in Oceanside Village. We loved where we stayed! It was quite an eventful trip though. More to come later and I will have more pix but wanted everyone to see my cuties on the beach! Enjoy the pic!

New Georgie jammies!

Here are Neilie's new Curious George Pajamas. Neilie calls them Georgie Jammies. She does this little dance (shaking her hiney) when she gets to wear them. Too cute! As many of you know, Neilie LOVES curious george. It is super hard to find girl Curious George stuff. She also like spiderman and wants a spiderman gown and panties (if anyone reading this ever finds girl spiderman gown or panties... please buy it and i will pay you back later!!!) Anyway, we found these girl georgie jammies and had to get them.
Enjoy the pix!



This one Neil said, "Neilie look at the camera and say cheese!" She did!!!

This is my Guh-Guh face

For those of you who may not know... GuhGuh is what Neilie calls my (Abee's) mother. My mom is notorius for making this face with her lips pursed together so tightly that a piece of paper couldn't get in there, chin down, and eyebrows up! We have those sliding doors on a closet in the girls' playroom. Those closet doors are mirror from top to bottom (make a note for those of you without children... kids love mirrors). My kids are no exception. Neilie was looking at herself in the mirror the other day and she said, "Mommy look, this is my Guh-Guh face." Trying not to laugh, I called Neil in there to see this newly found face. I told Neilie to make her Guh-Guh face... she did and he hysterically started laughing! It is unbelievable how much she looks like my mom anyway... but when she makes faces like her... unreal! We started taking pictures with the camera and our phones and started sending. I knew my daddy would have much more appreciation for the face than my mom! He said he couldn't select save fast enough on his phone. This pix is from the side. I couldn't get a good one straight on. I did on my phone but can't upload pix from my phone (long ... and boring story). Anyway, those of you who know my mother can truly appreciate this one.
