Around the Cabin

When we're at the cabin, we spend most of our time by the water.  We did, however, have a few stormy days... and we have to come in to eat and sleep, I guess. :)


Here are some of our "around the cabin" pics from this summer. :)


Malachi and Avery chillin' with Joe :)

Avery liked to "swing" on the hanging chairs :)

Trail mix was a favorite vaction snack...

Daddy and Avery reading a Bible story before bedtime... melts my heart.

Avery gets so excited for her Bible story each night... I love it.

The stool was way more fun as a horse :)

So... as I was packing, I remembered Avery's favorite blanket and all the animals that she has to have to sleep with... but I failed to pack a baby doll.  Avery enjoys baby dolls at home, but she doesn't have a favorite, and she's way more into playing with her animals.  So it slipped my mind.  Bad Mommy.  A few times the first week we were at the cabin, I found her cuddling with, singing to, rocking, and putting to sleep... blocks.  Yes, blocks.  Like this.

I did end up buying her a little baby doll when I went into town next.  She was SOOOO excited.  That baby doll didn't leave her sight the rest of vacation.  Lesson learned. :)

Avery has a bit of an obsession with sunglasses... and she kept trying to put both of my pairs on :)

Again with the sunglasses... but anywho, most mornings after Malachi and Avery woke up, they'd come up to our bed and watch something together.  Pretty sweet.

Malachi and Avery decided to host a party one day.  They said all their friends were invited - even us!


Avery was the hostess and the talent...

Malachi had to set out the plates for everyone.

Avery made sure our cups were in order.

Then the dinner party turned into a jumping-on-Bubba-and-Gpa's-bed party.  Good times.


Malachi and Avery sat here last year to brush their teeth.  They're much bigger now...

I had to document a bit of what life is like with these two 2-year-olds right now.  I love them so much.

Avery enjoyed her first corn-on-the-cob. :) Now that's the only way she wants to eat corn!

A pic of all the gals on vacay... 3 of these 5 are pregnant, too!  Crazy!  From left to right... Meagan (my sister's husband's brother's wife - did you get that? :)), my seester Cassy Sage, my mom "Grandma Bubba", me, and my BFF Jacklyn. :) Meagan, Cassy, and I are the pregnant ones... though I'm the only obvious one in this pic - lol.

One last pic... I love this of Avery and Cali.  Sometimes they have a love/hate relationship... but this day it was love. :)

We're almost caught up...
