 7 ~ The number of days straight, at least one person in our house has been vomiting
{also the number of days since I've been able to escape the house}

4 ~ the number of people in our house who have come down with the stomach bug . . . so far

2 ~ The number of people who have yet to come down with it :(

4,392 ~ The number of pumps of Hand Sanitizer we've used in the last 7 days

2 ~ The number of 2-liter bottles of 7 Up we've consumed

1,076 ~ The number of items on my grocery list {if I can ever manage to make it to the store}

5 ~ The number of plans/appointments/activities that have had to be cancelled or rescheduled


It's not lookin' too pretty around here.

But thankfully, some of us are on the mend!

Hope y'all are staying away from the germs!!

Beachin'

 
 One of our most favorite traditions is our annual beach trip to Seaside with my parents every February.

We *always* stop at Camp 18:
 
Beach06W  

And grab a group shot outside:

See?  Circa: 2011
Awwwww, babies!  I miss those days :(

Then we pull in to Seaside,

and hit the beach runnin!

We stroll down to the Carousel Mall,
 
BeachCollage3W  

and then stop in to have our palms read . . .

Hehehehehe, juuuuuuuust kidding.
I don't know why, but this place makes me chuckle every time we walk past.

Like,

Camp 18 . . . Check
Ride the Carousel . . . Check
Build Sandcastles . . . Check
Visit Psychic Palm Reader . . . Uhhhhhhh

 
Beach15W  

The following day we made it down to the Arcade
 
Beach16W  

Where we won a ton of tickets
{and also picked up a stomach virus, I suspect}
 
Beach17W

Then it was time for clamming.

and beach combing,

 
Beach24W  
 
 and general beach shenanigans.

Then back to clamming.

And finding gorgeous shells just begging to be photographed.

Our time spent at the beach always goes by much too quickly :(
 
Beach43W  
 
 Before we knew it, it was time to go home.
 
Beach47W  

So we said our goodbyes, with one last swing, one last stroll, one last photograph.

But we'll be back!

Pampering Party

 
 Last weekend, the celebration for Kam continued with a little Spa get-together with a couple of her closest friends.
 
Birthday06W  

It was a little chaotic, having just gotten home from our trip, but we threw some decorations up, and got ready to party!

 {All of Miss Kam's photo books ~ she gets one every year on her birthday}

 Ahhhhhhh!  This melts my heart.  Seeing these sweet girls together is such a blessing.

We had four different stations:

One for her hair 'dos
One for manicures
One for facials
and
One for making your own lotion

{Taylor's lotion was a special creation of about every essential oil I own . . . yeahhhhhhh. That was a fun smell.}
 
 
Birthday13W

And these two sissies gettin' their hair did.
Aren't they the sweetest??
 
Birthday16W  

Okay. Stop.
Can we talk about the cuteness of this little peanut??  What a doll baby!
 
Birthday20W  
 
 And later in the evening, we had Grandmas and Grandpas over for cake and ice cream, and singing, and presents.

A pretty wonderful day, I'd say!
