1st trip to the movies to see Shrek 3D

Bethany is a big fan of all the Shrek movies, so when the 3D movie came out I had to make a point to take her to the movies.
On Friday 5-29-10 Myself, Bethany, Aunt Jill, Nanny,Cousins Summer and Autumn took a trip to Spartanbug and enjoyed Shrek the Final Chapter.This is Bethany's first time to the movies. She did great at watching the movie.

Bethany loves to pose for any photo opportunity.


Bethany sat on her Aunt Jill's lap to watch the movie. Look at those eyes. You can tell she was involved in the movie.



Bethany enjoying a bag of popcorn and Coke. I am looking forward to another movie with my baby girl. Thank you Bethany for a great movie night.

Myrtle Beach Vacation

Bethany and I left on May 14 for Myrtle Beach and returned May 22 2010. We traveled with my mom, two aunts ( Brenda and Faye) and cousin Kim ( Faye's daughter) WOW! We had a great time. We enjoyed the sounds of the beach and the warmth of the sun. The beach was not crowded. We had the beach all to ourselves. While we were playing on the beach we seen many sea shells ( I found a sand dollar) fish and a few crabs. One evening we went out and walked the pier where we seen 4-5 sharks. I have never seen sharks in the ocean before. trust me... the water was not deep. I promised myself that I would not go out in the water deeper than knee deep. It was hard to travel back home but we look forward to return to the beach before the end of summer.
I started back to school on Tuesday. I am currently taking Biology and shooting for that A. I am excited about returning to school to learn something new. Keeping my fingers crossed.


Bethany loved going to the beach in the mornings and making mud pies and collecting sea shells. I think she would be just fine to pack up and move to the beach.


Bethany is so cool in her favorite Ariel swim suit with her pink hat. She collects sand for her mud pies.


My little beach bum.



One afternoon we all traveled to the Myrtle Beach Military Base where we enjoyed looking and reading about a few of the fighter planes used in WWII, and Desert Storm. It was amazing to read the stories behind these planes. Bethany was not that crazy about them, she was happy just running around the grounds.




Bethany is a swimmer. Yes, the pool was COLD, but she wanted to get in. I got in with her but I did not enjoy the water. The ocean was warmer than the pool. We swam for about 30 minutes then I convinced her to play in the ocean. I put Bethany on her float and let her go.



I told Bethany to model on the tree and this was the picture. She is a beautiful daughter.








One evening we all checked out the new board walk. Of course Bethany would rather walk with her Nanny ( my mom in the white shirt) and aunt Faye ( pink) It was a nice walk.







Here is America's Next Top Model........Cutie Pie.....



We went out to eat at the Outback Steak House. Bethany ate butter.






We Packed up and headed home on Saturday, but before we got on the road we stopped at Denny's and enjoyed a big breakfast. I am not in the picture because I was the one taking the picture. The picture includes( starting with Bethany on the left, Nanny (my mom), aunt Faye, cousin Kim and aunt Brenda).












Bethany is such a wonderful kid. This last picture is Bethany saying the breakfast blessing. PRICELESS.
