Picking peaches & blackberries....

And eating donuts...

Katie learns about how fruit grows...

Found some huckleberries in our yard, blackberries down the street & a hidden patch of grapes!

Great time in Ocean City, NJ

Merry Christmas!

Trying to get caught up, so here's some pictures from Christmas....

 

 

Katie's first reel fishing trip

We took Katie fishing this weekend - she had a blast!  Best part was when she turned to me and said "One.. More... Fish" - true fisher-woman at heart.

Happy Birthday!

So it's been forever & I haven't forgotten... just run out of time in the days!

Meme took this video & it's just too cute to not share!

Happy 18 months! (& A trip to New York)

 Katie & I traveled up to NY in the beginning of October & as you can imagine, many of the family were more than happy to snuggle...

We also took a trip out to see more of her favorite animal.  (Remember this post from February?)

 

 We went to the beach, where it was fairly chilly, but that didn't stop Katie from sticking her toes (and her bum!) in the water.




Now this is some great beach hair

And of course, she loved the sand.

And what trip to the beach would be complete without ice cream.

While we were there, we decided to visit JC Pennys to take her 18 month pictures.  This is why you pay people to do these things.  She was MISERABLE the whole time we were there, but somehow, it's very hard to tell!

P.S. Check out them boots.

 

 After the visit for pictures, we decided to make her day better with another trip to the beach.  We got a few good shots there as well.
