Hope your ready for lots of pictures!

We made it back to PA on Saturday and have been settling back in today. We had such a good time at the beach in Garden City. Dallas and I both have many happy memories of going to the beach growing up and we are so happy to continue that tradition with Dallas. It took him a day to warm up to the ocean but Nana got him in and before long he was dragging us down to the ocean so he could jump waves! My friend Lee McLeod came to visit from Charleston and we had alot of fun. Dallas really took to her and they had fun building sand castles together. Bebe and PawPaw were able to come visit for a day since they were close by at their place in Little River. Each grandparent had a turn holding Dallas by the hands and helping him jump waves. He loved splashing around in the pools that were left when the tide went out. He picked shells with PawPaw, jumped in the pool LOTS of times only to Nana (not to Mommy!). He played football with Daddy, walked the beach with Poppy, and played in the ocean with Bebe. Of course I did lots with him too but for the time being little Dallas does not think I am as fun as everyone else. Apparently I just feed, bathe, change diapers, and take care of all his needs then get told NO! to everything! I think this is my official Mommy welcome to the toddler club! One quick story about the pink swim suit--I was on the hunt for this particular one piece suit that has a tube around the waist. I looked several places and at the last stop there was one box left right in front of my face. I was so happy and took it up front to pay. The clerk asked if I had a bicycle pump to blow it up and since I did not, he said he would inflate it. He opened the box and pulled out a hot pink suit! I immediately asked him to see if there was another one somewhere telling him that it was for a boy. He ran off only to come back saying that it indeed was the last one. I did not hesitate in my decision to purchase it anyway but I did smile to myself thinking of the reaction to come from Daddy Dallas. It was just as expected but the suit did work great! I even had to ask him permission to include the photo on the blog but as you all know he has a good sense of humor and only asked that I included the story. Thanks to everyone for making our week so much fun!

Leaving for Garden City

We are literally running out the door but I wanted to share a few pictures from the park since I won't be able to blog for a week or so. We have had a great time and thank you so much to Bebe and Paw Paw and Nana, Poppy and Uncle Whit for all of their help and love! We love you all so very much too!

Congratulations to Justin and Kellee!

We are thrilled that we will now have new titles as Aunt, Uncle, and cousin! Justin and Kellee are expecting a baby that is due in March. We can't wait to meet the newest edition to the Reeves Clan and have a new playmate for little Dallas! We spent several days over the Labor Day weekend in Little River with Justin and Kellee and Bebe and PawPaw. We had nice weather and really enjoyed spending time with everyone. I was bad and did not take many pictures but I have a few to share of Dallas enjoying cheetos on the boat. Bebe and PawPaw were nice enough to take little Dallas back to Greenville so I could help Dad with his new house. We got alot done today but I miss my little man! I will get him tomorrow and then we head to Garden City on Saturday. We really miss Daddy and can't wait to see him next week.

Self Portrait

Dallas has become fascinated by the camera and loves to take self portraits. Here are a few of his masterpieces. We have had a great week and are headed to Little River today. We will be there through Labor Day and then back to Columbia. I would like to thank Uncle Whit for babysitting yesterday while I had an appointment. They had a fun time and even watching a two year old could not stress out laid back Uncle Whit! Thanks again!

We made it to SC and have been having a wonderful time. Daddy Dallas left Sunday to fly back to PA and made it back safely. Here are some pictures of Dallas and Uncle Whit on his new motorcycle.

Go Cocks!

Dallas has really been getting into football. He loves his football Robeez shoes from Bebe and likes to wear them all of the time! He also has several footballs and loves to throw and kick them. Daddy Dallas has really been getting into football too! He has been preparing for his fantasy football league draft which is tomorrow night. I am having a really hard time getting into it this year but soon I will have no choice! Daddy Dallas has been giving me a hard time about dressing little Dallas like a girl so today we went all boy! I have to say he still looked very cute! We will be arriving in SC sometime tomorrow and are very excited about our visit. We will be spending time in Columbia, Little River, and Garden City. Daddy Dallas can't spend all of the 3 weeks there because of work but little Dallas and I are really looking forward to seeing everyone. Please google "Dallas Edward Reeves Jr." and look for an article with a picture about him that appeared in the most recent issue of the Moore School Alumni Magazine. When I googled him it came up as the second thing. Let me know if you can't find it.

Happy Birthday Daddy Dallas!

Daddy Dallas has had a great birthday. He got to sleep in and was awakened by little Dallas saying, "Happy Birthday Daddy!" He had fun opening his gifts and cards and says, "thank you" to all of you who sent them! We then went for a day trip to Washington, DC to visit with our friends Stacy and Kelly. We had a great time catching up and enjoyed having lunch at a restaurant called Sequoia right on the Potomac in Georgetown. We miss them and it was so great seeing them! Sorry about the video being sideways. I filmed it with the camera turned vertically and it can't be turned after the fact. Hopefully you all won't have cricks in your neck!

2nd Birthday Party

We had a busy weekend with the final birthday celebration for Dallas. Our friends, Tom and Virginia, along with their 1 year old son Rowan, came on Friday to stay for the weekend. We had about 20 people over on Saturday for lunch and cake. We would like to thank everyone that came and for the gifts that you brought! Dallas has been busy playing with them all. Bebe and PawPaw were such a big help and we thank them for all that they did to help with the party. The theme of the party was "Finding Nemo". The kids had fun chasing bubbles, fishing for magnetic fish in the baby pool, bouncing in the castle bouncer, and going for rides on Dallas' new tractor. We have one more birthday boy this month and his name happens to be Dallas too! We really enjoyed our visit with Bebe and PawPaw and the Gatch Family. Thank you all for sharing this special day with us!
