Cassidy's May Happenings

This post is a little behind as we went on vacation in May, and the whole month I was focused on that. A lot happened in May and I wanted to share some of what we were up to.

First, Cassidy had taken ballet class at school and they had a recital. It was so cute and I was so proud. I got some video as well, but I will have to figure out how to post that. The pictures will have to do for now...I was very impressed from the beginning of the school year to the end of the school year. Cassidy really learned a lot. She loved her ballet teacher Ms. Nikki, and I am sure that made a huge difference.




Before it got to be to warm outside, Cassidy enjoyed helping Daddy in the yard as well. She felt like she was really making a difference, and it was really cute for them to spend some Daddy daughter time together out there. Mike is so good with explaining things to her, and not loosing his patience, unlike Mommy.

Some of the other fun we had was playing with sidewalk chalk. Cassidy is so creative and loves drawing. So what better way then to draw on the sidewalk and be able to have a whole clean canvas. Unfortunately, now it is getting pretty hot, but we are trying to get out when we can.



Below has to be one of my favorite pics of Cassidy. She is so sheek with her sunglasses on! She cracks me up!




Take care until next post!

Around the Town in Hilton Head

These are pictures specific of the town and the shows we saw. There are many things to see and do in Hilton Head. The views are beautiful and we even went to Harbour Town and saw Shannan Tanner. If you have never heard of him, I am trying to publish a movie from his show. Cassidy even got up on stage. She got a little shy when she was up there, but it was still adorable. (That video is a little shakey, and Mommy was talking in the background because I was so excited.) I was so proud of Cassidy even though she didn't sing a song. Maybe next time we go she will. We also saw Greg Russell who does kids shows there. All the grandkids had "Are we there yet?" shirts thanks to Mimi and Poppy Dick. That is one of the songs that Greg Russell sings and all the grandkids got called up and Greg Russell talked with them. It was so cute!



Take care until next post!

More Beach Fun on Hilton Head

So if I hadn't taken enough photos or shared enough photos, I found some more that I had not blogged. Like I have said in the previous vacation posts we spent a lot of time on the beach and just hanging out. It was amazing! Enjoy!
Until Next post!

Pool Time and Bike Fun

It's amazing to me...you travel hundreds of miles to a beautiful beach, and since the house has a pool, where do the kids want to spend most of their time???? In the pool! Although we spent a lot of time on the beach, we spent a lot of time in the pool as well. I can't complain too much because I do enjoy a pool over the salt of the ocean.



In Hilton Head, it is not odd to see everyone on bikes. The island is small enough to be able to bike to the local shopping areas, or to go to play put put golf as well. One day we decided that we were going to go play put put golf, so we all hoped on our bikes, and took off. About half way there it started thundering. We decided that it might be best to not try to play put put golf, and headed back to the house. We still had a good time, but thankfully Mike had Cassidy on the back of his bike. She road a "tag a long" and LOVED IT! She thought she was helping with the pedaling, and really enjoyed feeling like a big girl!



Until next post!

Around the House in Hilton Head

So here are some random pictures of other things we did on vacation. We swam in the pool at the house, went to a couple of shows in town, rode bikes, and I did a family photo shoot for us. Thanks to Photoshop and my amazing husband, we were able to get a family photo with all of us, including myself and my brother in law that helped with taking the pictures.



With all the kiddos we had, we spent a lot of time just hanging out. Ami found a place she loved to hide, the bigger kids slept in a couple of mornings, Poppy Dick and Mimi Kim read stories to the little ones as well. We had a lot of good quality family time. It was a lot of fun.



Here are some of the scenic views we had from the house. The house was AMAZING. It was large enough for all of us. Each family had their own room. It had a private pool as well. The below album is taken from the back of the house, with the view of the beach. It was beautiful!



Next post I will have some of the town happenings!

Until then!

Little Ami Ye Parrish

This is the adorable Ami Ye! I love my niece! She is such a cutie and getting so big. My sister and brother-in-law adopted Ami Ye from China. She is such a blessing for our family. Ami had a lot of fun on the beach as well as Cassidy. She enjoyed the water, and playing the sand as well. Here are some really cute shots that I was able to capture.

I miss this little girl, and her Momma! I wish they didn't live in Denver!

Oh well, guess I am just selfish!



Until next post

Cassidy's Beach Photo Shoot

So here is Cassidy's mini beach photo shoot! She let me do it without even realizing what I was doing! I had to narrow down a lot of good shots, but was excited with what I came up with! Enjoy!
