Unkey Dave is now Uncle David

So it's official....My Unkey Dave is now going to be my Uncle David. David asked my Aunt Carrie to marry him and now they are engaged. I am not quite sure what that means, but my Mom and Dad are really happy about it. So woohoo! I like celebrating, so that makes me happy too!

Ok, so apparently, there were no photos of me and my Uncle David. Ok, let's not skirt the issue, I was having a tough day and the opportunity did not present itself. So here is one of my Aunt Carrie and Uncle David, who is sporting a handsome beard! I sometimes maybe thought he was my dad and became prone to staring....Sorry about that...

A New Family Tradition

It was a wonderful beach vacation had by all. Just what all of us needed. And just think, next year, we will have twice as many kids! (We're going to need a bigger boat...) Jen and Brandon's little lady in mid-November and Maggie and Paul's little lady around Thanksgiving. Can't wait. Here's to many more family vacations. Thanks and much love :)

July 17th: My Birthday--Part One

So my actual birthday took place during the 10 hour car ride back from the beach, so to make it up to me, we celebrated the day before. Aunt Jen threw me a swinging party, which anyone who was anyone on Pawleys Island (the Daley Family) attended. Uncle Paul at the grill made some delicious burgers, Aunt Maggie supervised the careful spelling of my name on the cake and Aunt Jen and Uncle Brandon decorated our lovely beach house and really made me feel special.

At first I wasn't so sure.....I mean, it's like, you've got 15 people shouting a strange song to you and then after withholding cake for a year, they expect you to dive right in, with no catch? Come on people.....I may have been born at night, but not last night!

Then, I was like, YEAH! There seemed to be some discussion about chocolate versus yellow, but it was all cake to me. Cake--good! Frosting--good! What's left to ponder?


Thanks to everyone who made my first ever birthday party fantastic! Don't worry, there is a second chance to wish me Happy Birthday on July 25th at my house! Be there or be square ;)

The Beach, Baby!

It was my first beach vacation to Pawleys Island in South Carolina. I went with Mom and Dad, Aunt Jen, Uncle Brandon and Elsa and Aunt Maggie and Uncle Paul for a luxurious week.

So I just gotta say it, I love the beach. I love the sand (I ate a ton), the ocean (I tried to swim like a fish) and the whole experience! Although, me and sunscreen had an adjustment period....but once my Mom rationalized that it could double as product, we were like peas and carrots!

It was like I was always meant to be a beach baby!

I can't wait until next year when me and my three girl friends will rule the beach. It will be legen-----wait for it----DARY!

I know it meant a lot to my Mom to have a beach baby. Aside from my health and well-being, I know my Mom secretly wished for me to be her little beach buddy. So I am glad it all worked out. Not to say that I didn't enjoy the down time with my Dad. A girl's gotta rest....unless you happen to be my Mom!

I was born to love fireworks!

Apparently, I am destined to love fireworks. My parents love them, so do my Aunt Jen and Uncle Brandon, so it is only fitting that I love them also. We had a great time at the Dollar Tree parking lot watching the fireworks show that our neighborhood association puts on for July 4th. As you can see, Elsa LOVED the fireworks. Heehee.





And here is a sweet video clip of me loving the fireworks. And then it devolved into a "Where's Colby?" game. Let's face it, it is more fun to play a game about me then stare at fireworks, which I don't really understand.

Happy Father's Day!

So for Dad's big day, I helped Mom get some stuff together. We had to celebrate Father's Day for Dad's first Father's Day and Poppi's first Father's Day as a Grandfather. Geez, can't these people do anything without consulting me?! It's cool, I like it. We had brunch, which I slept through, but it apparently, everyone had a good time!

I got a Swing!!!

A few weeks ago we got Colby a swing. We will eventually set it up in the big tree in our back yard, but for now she is small enough that we can just hang it off the roof of the back porch. I think she likes it most of the time. Or at least she doesn't hate it. Check her out.
