i dont know where to begin except that is was WONDERFUL! My family has had our house at topsail beach since before i was born. i have SO many memories there! ALL of my summers growing up were spent there. and now Brody gets to enjoy it! its crazy that i was running around this house at 18 months old and now i have an 18 month old running around it!
The whole family was able to make it down this weekend....my parents, grandparents, my
brother parker and his new wife lindsay, and of course me, brian, and brody! it was so nice for us to all be under one roof for 4 days! Brody got to know his greatgrandparents and aunt and uncle very well! he figured out all of their names by the end of the weekend too! Mema (he calls her Mamaw), Papa, Parker (Ka-Ka) and Lindsay (something like Din-sey). its so fun to see him developing relationships with the most important people in his life! he had them all wrapped around his finger...he even got his 87 year old greatgrandmother in the sandbox with him:)
The weekend was more relaxing that i thought it would be. i had overly prepared myself for a weekend of NO relaxation and chasing brody around everywhere! if you have ever been to our house its RIGHT on the water. i mean, walk down the steps and take just 10 more and you will fall off of the bulkhead into the sound. so running around the yard really isnt an option for a 18 month old. i had honestly thought about taking a leash to attach to him! i was really worried about it! i knew i would have to hold his hand every minute he was outside (which he hates). but he actually did really well! we put the baby pool in the yard for him and that kept him very happy and contained:) it was also great to have so many people around to entertain him and keep an extra eye out!
My mom made the weekend so relaxing for us! she took care of brody alot of the time for us and told us that since she would have a whole week at the beach house in june for her vacation, she was going to give us our vacation by taking care of him! i even read an entire book while i was there...i cannot tell you the last time that has happened! it was SO nice! i LOVE MY MOMMY:)
Brody LOVED the beach. we had the boat down there with us, so of course he loved that. he thought it was fun watching everybody ski and wakeboard and would say uh-oh and get pretty worried if anyone fell:) he got braver and braver at the beach as the weekend went on. he ran in and out of the water and loved the sand! What a wonderful weekend...beautiful weather, my sweet boys, and my family who i love spending time with! it couldnt have been better!

I love the pictures! He's getting so big.
I love the picture of him and his greatgrandmother..so sweet. Don't you just love it when the grandparents take over so we can get a break! I'm glad you all had a fantastic time. You're so lucky to have a beach house in the family. I hope to have one someday!
