Jessie comes to town

This week has been a busy week. Aunt Jessie came to visit and Lexy! They both got in town Friday night and Saturday they headed down to Savannah. Sunday Lexy headed home and Jessie and I baked, Shaun made his delicious wings and we just hung out around the house. Monday we headed to Sullivan's Island for a little beach time and let the kids play in the tidal pools. Haddie and Ellie don't exactly play together as much as stand near each other and be okay with that. Its a huge improvement from the summer with Ellie and Finn. There were only a few crying incidents of "Haddie pulled my hair" but they were probably well deserved from Ellie stealing something from her or grabbing every toy possible before Haddie could get her hands on one. yeah Ellie's cool like that...

Here is proof that they actually DO like each other. we went to lunch at Magnolias and got some dessert at the BakeHouse.
The kids played in the fountain. It may seem WT but really that's what people do here.. maybe the south is a little ghetto, but its cool, who needs clothes? Ellie seriously ran around this fountain 50x. No joke, she was putting at the end but every time I told her to come out she'd go for a few more rounds. the water was coldish but she was loving it. Hence the arms up in pure excitement. Haddie on the other hand was fine without her clothes on but really didn't want to get wet. love pineapple park and the pier. it was a beautiful and warm day with hardly any humidity. love the fall here!

This was Saturday. Shaun went to work and Lexy and Jessie went to Savannah so I took all 6 kids to the ward party. Partly because I didnt want to feed everyone lunch, or get my house messy. It worked out great!
Jessie will probably kill me for this picture but its the only one I have of them at the beach and really she looks good from front and back so she can't complain! it was so nice with the breeze and the warm ocean! who doesn't love a warm ocean and shallow water. its perfect for the kids.
Decker chilling at the beach. I don't mean to brag but I have some pretty good kids! lets just hope it doesn't come around later in their teenage years!
Ellie's wedgie. 'nough said.

Jessie left yesterday after a trip to Jim 'n Nicks for lunch. we love it when she visits. And hope she comes back soon! anyone else is welcome to come! we love to show off our town and pretend we are fun all the time!
