FLORIDA!!!! The Very Charming Rosemary Beach

I'm probably the luckiest girl when it comes to summer: I have a very hard working husband who lets me go play while he works! Hard to find and he's all mine!

So my very sweet brother Ben and his cute family invited me to tag along with them on their family vacation to Rosemary Beach, Florida! It was absolutely GORGEOUS there. It was a very charming place and we sure had a blast! Thank you, thank you Ben, Kendra, Sophia, and Graham!

First time at the beach for Mckell! The first day she wasn't so sure about the water and such, but by day two- she was in heaven and soaking up the rays.. literally! She is one lucky girl because she got her daddy's olive skin. I put spf 70 on her everyday and she still went home tanner than me.

Graham just having fun, Mckell.. not so sure

But as the day went on, she started enjoying herself.

Exhausted after a day in the sun!

Mckell loves getting her picture taken...

Me and my sweet baby girl!

There was a free carnival type day for the kids- Sophie had a blast!

Another day at the beach- this is the best beach I've ever been to, to die for. And no- there was no oil! haha

Day 3 at the beach and Mckell is adjusted and loving the waves.

Picture time at the beach with the sun setting.

Mckell and I had such a good time and are so grateful for Ben and Kendra for bringing us. We really appreciated everything and are so glad they let us be apart of their family for the week!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Going to lunch with daddy before I head off to Florida!

We went to lunch at a yummy pizza place and of course had to get the delicious dessert! As you can see, Mckell liked it!

Just can't get enough! Say CHEESE!!!

Oh my, I can not get over this face Mckell keeps making! I could just eat her right up! I don't think she really gets it, but I say CHEESE and she gives me this super cheesy grin! I LOVE it! Mckell is getting so much more interactive and it's so fun- I really have the most adorable baby ever!

Play time with Sam and Kennedy, they were all born within a month of each other.

Mckell's a crazy sleeper just like her mamma!

I love all the funny faces she makes- she's a very alert and expressionate (pretty sure that's not a word) baby- I just love her to pieces!

What happens when your baby starts crawling...

They get into anything they can get their hands on!

I was getting ready in the other room and came back to find Mckell in a mess of chez-its. She was loving the new snack and giggling like crazy.

Thanks Grandma Astill for my fun outfit!

ready set smile, laugh, and crawl!!!

The first video is of Mckell smiling in her sleep- watch her lips, it's pretty funny!

Video #2 is Mckell laughing- we love hearing her giggle!

The last video is Mckell army crawling- she's been doing this for over a week now- so cute!

We made it to Knoxville!

Mckell and I finally caught up with daddy in Knoxville about a week and a half ago. We were so excited and Mckell couldn't stop smiling- we sure missed him! We live in a really cool place and it's gorgeous outside. It's so GREEN here, I didn't picture it to be that way but I like it. We live right by a big lake and had a bbq with everyone there last weekend. It was a lot of fun playing soccer, ball, and just hanging out with all our summer sales friends.

Mckell was still sick when we got to Knoxville so I took her back to the doctor after running a temp of 103. The doctor said she still had bad ear infections and switched her antibiotics. He said if her fevers weren't going down or any new symptoms arise to bring her back in. So two days later when her temp was still in the 102 range and she had broken out in rash all over her body I decided to take her in again. I probably didn't need to, the doctor wasn't very nice and acted like it was no big deal. He just wrote her a prescription for diaper rash cream because of Mckell's diarrhea she had a really bad diaper rash. Anyway, over two weeks later- Mckell is finally sleeping through the night again, diaper and body rashes are gone, and fevers are gone as well and she's back to her happy self!

I tried to take pictures of her rash but you can't see it very well- it looked a lot worse in person.

I don't know if you can see but Mckell also poked her eye pretty good with a pen and popped some blood vessels in her eye! It was a rough couple weeks!
