Grandma Rabe comes to Knoxville!

My mom is so sweet, she came out to Knoxville to help me pack, clean, and move us back. I wanted to drive home with Courtland but we didn't want to have Mckell in the car for the 25 hour drive so my mom was so nice to come out and fly Mckell home! Luckily I have the best baby, literally so I don't have to worry.
Mckell loves when grandma read her stories. She loves books and just giggles the whole time and gets mad when you're done reading to her and she's not (she could look at books all day).


Thanks Mom!

Swimming with daddy!

Relaxing and playing in our complex pool


I love when she sleeps with her arms over her head, just think it's too cute

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.
My brother's adorable family



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!

Loving our mommy daughter time!

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!
