We had all of our girl time lined up for our week in Hilton Head while Daddy Lou was gone! As much as we knew we would miss him we had big dreams of long summer beach days ahead!
We started off with quite a bang (naturally). How could you not with these girls? 
We LOVE good excuse to catch up and add in some beach time- hallelujah! 
It wasn’t the same without our Steph but mommyhood had called her and we know all abut that!
This poor sweet sister thought these sweet girls came all the way just to see her… no worries Lo, they came 90% to see you. 
The other 10% was for after you went to bed 
This is our OMG this is really happening photo! Sadly ALL 3 of our Memory was full and we only got snaps from the night!
#thatmomlife
It ended up being a night we all REALLY needed! We had the best time and realized just how old we were.. we had to document that we stayed out THIS late and it wasn’t due to a crying baby!!!
Sister my have been left behind that night but she was roaring and ready to hit the beach first thing the next morning! 
Oh yes, that is a cute little girl walking to the beach with only her shovel in tow.
Her mama and Aunt Taytay were trailing behind her with a damn U-haul and alligator (that we decided was a “auntie thing” and designated it her…. your welcome Tay!
This was also sister’s first time actually playing in the sand since doing it with Shu at the lake (thanks Shu!)!! 
I told her Ana was coming to play with her and she LOVES Ana as much as her mama does!! Its the sweetest thing ever! 
We didn’t take a nap that day and had a whole lot of sun! It didn’t seem to bother sister so we got dressed and headed to dinner with the entire Thaller crew!!
I turned around and instantly sister was out!!
I hated waking her up but besides wanting to sit in my lap it didn’t bother her a bit… how did I get so lucky!?
The next day Gigi and Poppy came (bearing gifts of course- and monster size crab legs)! So we had an early Fathers day with a dolphin cruise and sister was loaded down and ready to go!
…..and we’re ready!
Photo shoot ensues…
I love a sunset boat ride… I really just love a boat ride, but a sunset boat ride… all day any day please!
I don’t know when your supposed to cross the threshold of not saying “I know right!?” when people say how adorable this child is but she s still brand new to me and I think her beauty shines brighter inside and out everyday!
So yes, thank you and “omg right, she’s so freaking adorable”.
Happy Father’s Day to our Poppy! The man you can ask any one question to on any topic and by God he will know an answer for you.
We love our Poppy and all his wisdom!
The next day we treated Poppy to one of his favorite things… a day at the beach!
Only kidding, he hates “hauling everything” to the beach so we naturally made him do just that only to decide we would rather spend our day at the pool!
Nothing to see here, just two best friends sporting their bikini’s. One happens to look WAY cuter than the other one.
All the snacks, dips and and accessories a girl can imagine!
She also got some good pool time with Nutty and Jammy too! Nutty was thrilled to spend his Fathers Day at the kiddie pool- just trust us 
So apparently I beach with TWO skinny minnies (what joy).. the worst part is neither of them even try, that eat anything and everything and “Oh look my pants are too big” #assholes
I was so proud of Lola she was initiating play with other kids with her mermaid (and their matching ones) and mastered her new motor boat noise!
I find that all the little girls eventually gravitate towards me (probably bc Lola is still for the most part at my side) so one little girl in particular decided to adopt me as her mom for a good hour and asked me 48593287 times “You wana see something” and would proceed to doing a trick.
After she left Lola started doing this and I about died.
This child is too much.
Sister suddenly had a sleepy spell from the past few days sneaking up on her and I made a mad dash to snatch her up and steal ALL the cuddles!
The sweetness.
Sister was done but boy did she come back to life after a good nap that night with live music at Salty Dog!
We spent the rest of the week with Jammy, Colecole and Ana with lots of beach time, outings, fireworks and pool time!
We also spotted a turtle and I had never seen something so cute in my life- the instinctual mothering in this child is hilarious!
All time favorite picture- and GO!
Ok so how do you pick just one?
Sister literally walked out of the pool and carried around an entire sandwich eating it while walking like this… her daddy’s blood runs thick.
His style does too.
Last full beach day and this girl was as excited as her first!
So was our sweet Ana!
This is soooo a typical Sister pic.
She insisted on wearing her new light up rain boots to the beach… smart thinker bc before wearing them she would have NEVER walked in the thick sand (so it was one less thing for me to carry-aka HER!_
That night we all went out for one last hoorah girls night out and what better way to end our girls trip than with Mexican, drinks and fireworks!
Except this time Lola got to attend!
We were pretty pumped!
We pulled out a favorite and it finally FIT! My big girl is growing and growing!!
I think these two were separated at birth!
I took this picture below and instantly thought “Oh wait until Daddy Lou see’s all those new blonde baby hairs sprouting!”
We ended our night with fireworks and Sissy had requested Daddy to hold her ears… mama just doesn’t do it right apparently..
I deserved the biggest reward ever for packing this child (and all of our belongings up) by myself for the first time ever!
Unfortunetly there was no reward at the end of that sweat fest. Instead there was a bowl of cereal and giggles before we headed out!
I’ll take it.
It’s been real Hilton Head- Mommy and Lo are out and one step closer to our Daddy Lou!
In case you haven’t seen Lola lately… when she see’s grass she takes her shoes off (even f it’s a 2ft by 2ft corner in a parking lot) and screams LOOK MAMA GRASS! Bless this baby if we don’t get her out of this house soon!
We spent the week being lazy and enjoying home while packing and getting a last minute “do” before heading off to celebrate the Fourth!
