We were fortunate enough to be able to go on vacation for a couple weeks! We spent about half that time in Hilton Head, South Carolina, and the other half with my folks in Atlanta. Here are some pictures from our fun!

Of course, KP was in time out within five minutes of arriving at the beach. I had to capture the little grouch.
Savannah and Reagan just moments before a small pod of dolphins popped up about twenty yards behind them!
Jonas and I got sunburned really bad that day at the beach, so my step-mom Heather offered to take the kids with her the next day so that he and I could have some time to ourselves. We decided to head to Savannah, Georgia, as I had never been, and when Jonas went before he just drove through because it was raining the whole time!
I'm the luckiest woman alive!
My dad and his youngest little one, Madison
Delilah and her Aunt Savannah
Madimoo!
Keegan with Aunt Savannah and Delilah with Uncle Conner - chicken fights! These two were so comfortable in the pool (with their floaties on). Normally, Lila is clinging on to somebody the whole time, but she was totally "swimming" around on her own! We had trouble getting her to call it a night after several hours in the pool, haha.
Look at that devious expression, lol
Meet Nanny, my step-mom Heather's mother. Our reasoning for going to Hilton Head (her house) at this time is because she was having a birthday party, her 69th birthday. She is calling it her first birthday, as last year in October she was diagnosed with Ovarian and Uterine Cancers. She fought with everything she had, and a couple months ago was told the good news that her cancer was in remission. She has a new found appreciation and love for life, and feels like a new person, therefore calling this birthday her first. I am so happy that she is doing better, and I look forward to many many more years with her! (might I add that she has never missed a beat, still sending the kids Christmas and birthday gifts, and most recently, promptly mailing Keegan's fish to Shreveport, which we had left at her house. She rocks!)
Savannah and Conner - 22 months apart, just like KP and Lila!
The group that went to Hilton Head! My family :)

Savvy and Lila, which some of my younger siblings call her LilaBear
While we were in Georgia, we had a small birthday party for Delilah :)
Making a wish!
We had other babies there with cake all over themselves, and miss priss decides to use one finger at a time to pick at the ice cream, remaining completely spotless. Now if only I can teach her to do this trick at home... ;)
Little brother Jason
My dad and long-time friend Dana (I grew up with her daughter)

Do we look alike?! I am like the black sheep in the family as far as looks are concerned...(or would it be the "blonde sheep"? lol)
We tried to wear the kids out the day we drove home by stopping at a bouncy house playground called Monkey Joe's. We hoped it would get them tired enough to sleep in the car. Unfortunately, we weren't so lucky! (but they were still pretty good for us)
All in all, it was a great trip! I am so grateful for these visits (and also grateful to get back home) :)
