Cheap Entertainment

#1 Old VHS Tape









#2 Momma's $7 Sunglasses (which are now broken)





#3 Bed (ok, not cheap, but it's already there)





#4 Playground


I just had to add this one. It was my first time fixing Chess's hair besides the pigtails. Her hair is now getting in her eyes, so I invented this.





#5 Homemade Juice Popsicles







#6 Jumperoo (This is more of unexpected entertainment since she's way too big for this thing.)







#7 Stairs











#8 Free Summer Movies (We lasted through about half, surprisingly.)

We're having a....

sweet, beautiful, angel, darling, precious baby

GIRL!

We don't have any names picked out for her yet, but we are very excited for Chess to have a baby sister!

Mexico Beach

My parents kindly invited us to go to the beach with them this past weekend and we had so much fun! It was Chess's first time and she couldn't get enough of the sand and water. Mexico Beach is quiet, small, and cute - a perfect, relaxing weekend. Lots of pictures below:


first time seeing the ocean




She just kept running deeper into the water and laughing as the waves splashed her.

We tried to put Chess to bed at her normal bedtime, but she wanted to watch the sunset. She went to sleep peacefully when everyone else did.


in our pajamas - this is a nice belly shot, too (I'm 19 weeks pregnant here)




















Jared was in some pain from sunburned legs and feet.


I made this dress out of an old white button down shirt of mine.
