First Beach Trip of the Season!!

What a great first beach trip of the season it was!!! The Reeses were kind enough to host us in their newly-owned condo at Litchfield By the Sea. Ryan and I arrived for the week on Tuesday of last week. It was a wonderful week of beautiful weather, good food and sweet time with family. I got really into The Prince of Tides, a book by Pat Conroy, and was thoroughly entertained by that for the week...such a good book!! We went out to eat, worked on puzzles, went shopping, exercised and played Bocce ball. It was a week filled with family at my favorite place in the entire world!

Tuesday night at Lee's Inlet Kitchen. Everyone was cracked up because Ashley had the tallest heels ever on and was having to squat down to be even with the men in the group ;)

And, Ryan decided to squat too

On Thursday night, we met up with the rest of Ryan's family that were also at the beach. It was a big crowd but so so much fun.

Friday, Ryan's family took me to my favorite shopping place at the beach and we went to eat out there for my birthday. The made me feel so special and really honored me on my birthday. It was so much fun! Also, Market Common is the best place ever!!

Adorable pic of Ash and Cory

Sporting our pink (I PROMISE we did not plan this...we never ever plan to match, but somehow we always end up walking out the house with the exact same color on)

After dinner at P.F. Chang's we went for some ice cream at our favorite spot, Painters...delicious!

How about this coordinating background?



The Reeses left on Saturday and R and myself headed over to my parent's beach house to hang out with some of my family. We all went out on the beach, had a baseball game and enjoyed the sunshine. We were all together for Father's day on Sunday morning and went out to eat breakfast together.

Davis was cracking us up relaxing in this chair...he looked so grown up, so....

we thought it would be funny if he posed with a Bud Light....I promise he did NOT drink a sip!

Anna and myself....I have nicknamed my haircut "Shroom"(like a mushroom) and they all decided Anna had a "Shroom" haircut as well, so the entire day we were referred to as "Shroom 1" and "Shroom 2"

Love this man of mine!!

It was a great beach trip. I also was able to celebrate my birthday with both families which was fun as well. I can't wait to be back. Thanks to all those who made it so perfect!!

Baby Jackson's Nursery

We are awaiting baby Jackson's arrival right now at 39 weeks and 4 days:) so, why not pass the time by sharing a few pictures of his nursery? We cannot wait to meet him and Ryan thinks that with the zoo/jungle theme we have going on in the nursery, Jackson is destined to be a zoo keeper.....we will see! I have had so much fun decorating and putting together his little room and I hope he loves it!!! Here is his crib with letters we made and a mirror that i love!!! His crib is from Target and the bedding is from Serena and Lilly  We got the letters from hobby lobby and then hot glued zoo animals onto the letters and the orange ribbon I was really into bamboo shades and love the way the windows turned out with the brown and white combo. His changing table is a dresser we got from the Pottery Barn outlet and then we got the cover from a shop on Etsy Ryan's dad repainted this rocking chair for Jackson. It was the chair that Ms. Cindy rocked Ryan and his brothe...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...

Vacay to the BVI

Ryan and I went for a vacation a couple of weeks ago to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. Our anniversary is not until August, but sometimes, things get crazy in the summer. So, we decided to take an early trip in April. We went to Biras Creek in Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. It was gorgeous!!! The only bad part was that it went by WAY TOO fast!!! The place was beautiful, quiet and so relaxing. I finally read The Hunger Games and so did Ryan. We enjoyed amazing meals that were prepared for us three times daily, blue skies and even bluer water, and some quality time with each other. It was such a blessing and came at a perfect time. Such a great opportunity to take a moment to stop and remember how much we love one another. Our favorite experience was snorkeling with a guy named Wayne from the resort. He took us to a few different reefs in the middle of the Caribbean ocean and we would jump off the boat and snorkel. It is amazing how many different colors or coral...
