Beach 2012: Day 1 from Josh

Josh got a new camera on Friday, and he is loving it:

Beach 2012: day 1

We are at Sunset Beach with my mom's family this week! Yay! We have wifi here at the house, so I should be able to update the blog every day (just for you, Lisa) :)

We drove to Charlotte yesterday to cut our trip time in half, but 3 hours in the car is still a long time for a little boy:

He tried out Marisa's Barbie car. He doesn't really understand how to play with it.


Today we are here!



The waves are fun, and maybe a little scary.

The world is your sandbox, baby.

The screen porch is nice too.



A lot of his favorite people are here too.


Days 2-6 should be just as great :)

Bible School and other fun stuff

Toast on a fork


He is really proud of his new abilities with utensils.

Andrew's new favorite book is the book of 101 things that go. He loves to look at it with Grandpa.


Andrew has been helping Grandma get ready for Bible School music.

We went to our friends' house and Cody taught Andrew about hockey.

With VBS going this week, that means Aunt Ann is here. With all the company, there are air mattresses to play on:

Good days. :)

Rock Collecting

We had fun at our church picnic yesterday. Andrew got some athletic lessons from Papa and Daddy:

After working up a sweat outside, Andrew decided to cool off with some Irish step dancing:

I love that baby belly :)

Summer Days

Just about to outgrow his infant seat. He likes to use it as a recliner.


He is getting really good at people's names.

He is getting better with a ball:

and a fork:

I just think this is funny:

What a goober!

Sweet picture of the boy and my dad


Papa and Adam cleaned up our old play house for Andrew to use. Needless to say, he loves it.

And finally, a sleepy baby moment. When Andrew gets sleepy, he gets really silly. It's awesome. Sorry the video is crummy, I was taking it myself.

Trip to Charlotte

We had an awesome time in Charlotte with Mike and Jen.


We got to sit on the big red ball at Target.


Carolina fan, of course.


Andrew got to try out one of Mickey and Marisa's favorite things as babies. Andrew agrees.

Uncle Mike is so fun.

Aunt Jennifer had color magic for the tub.


How awesome is that!?


One last ride on the bike.

Thanks for the great time, Mike and Jen!

On our way home we went to Fiddler's Grove

and ate at Cracker Barrel, and colored with big kid crayons.

and he took the intelligence test. Don't worry. It confirmed he is a genius.

And in the car on the way home Andrew helped Adam sharpen up his frisbee golf technique.

And to top it off, Andrew got a new table at Grandma's.





And saw a train, his recent obsession:

Awesome weekend :)
