Zucchini Bread

Today, Alaina and I used one of the giant zucchinis from our garden to make zucchini bread. I've never made it before and found a great recipe online. 

Here Alaina is showing off our giant zucchini. 

Here is one of the finished loaves. It tastes amazing! You can find the recipe at: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/zucchini-bread/detail.aspx

Build and Grow

Yesterday, I took Alaina to a Lowe's Build and Grow event. This is the second one she has been to and she absolutely loves it! We built a Turbo racing snail yesterday.  She did a great job. 


When she was finished, she asked if she could sleep with snail.   :-)

4th of July Beach Weekend

Harry, Alaina, and I spent the Fourth of July Weekend in Wilmington with my parents, brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew. We did have a little hurricane delay our trip, but once we got there we had a great time and went to the beach every day!

Day 1:
Harry and Alaina coming in from the water. The waves were pretty rough the first few days due to Hurricane Arthur.

Family shot! Alaina wasn't real thrilled with having to take a picture.


Happy 4th of July!

Day 2:

Alaina enjoying the snacks and the sand on the beach. 

Day 3:
Violet was very excited about going into the water. She crawled in without any hesitation.

Alaina also has no hesitations about going into the water... hurricane or not.

The beach makes you pretty tired, so it's nice to take a nap with your dad.

Day 4:


We weren't able to go to the beach the last day since we were driving home, so we took Alaina to lunch at our favorite restaurant in Southport... Provisions. We had a great lunch and enjoyed the little beach just outside.

Pool Day!

I was preparing to post about our past weekend and found this entry from June that never loaded. Sorry to all my readers that I've been slacking on posting... I'll do better from now on. 

Our pool opened a few weeks ago so we decided to pay it a visit. We had such a great time and Alaina even went down the giant water slide all by herself!

Waiting their turn. 

She's on her way! 

She is having so much fun!

Daddy is there to catch her. 

Harry and Alaina also went for a slide in the splash area. The water was cold, but they didn't care.
