Bechtel Family: Beach Beauties!

Well, I am very behind on my blogging! This has been a very busy two weeks! I had an emergency root canal down on Friday the 10th which was not fun AT ALL! Got terribly sick from the pain meds and was out of commission for several days! Gingy came down to visit and help with the girls which was wonderful and in the middle of that we had VBS! I helped with arts and crafts again this year with Amy for the 3 and 4 year olds! I was out two of the days but enjoyed the last part of the week! Gracie loved it all and learned so much there! She would come home and pretend like she was the missions teacher and tell us all about the orphans in Haiti or the pastors in Peru. She also put on shows for us with all the songs she had learned in music! It just melts my heart to hear her tell me all she is learning about God! She loves memorizing scripture and reading her devotion everyday! She is like a sponge and just soaks everything up! My parents came this week for a couple of nights and it was so good to have them visit! G loved playing with Papa and making homemade Popsicles with Nana! I have pictures of all of this that I hope to post soon!

I wanted to get these last few pictures up of our beach trip! If you can't tell...I love pictures and especially pictures of my babies, and of course them in matching outfits! I lucked up with these two white outfits for the girls! I called Aunt Tanya one day and asked her if she had a white outfit I could borrow for G that was Sara Kate's. She brought it back in the spring when they were here! I mentioned I needed a white outfit for Lillie to Amy and she said she had one of Annalyn's! Well, I was happy to have white outfits for the girls beach pictures but was even more thrilled when I found out they were the exact same! WooHoo!:) So, one night we attempted to take pictures on the beach in these precious outfits! Attempted is what we did! It was tough. The sun was in G's eyes, the wind was blowing, Lillie didn't want to be put down, etc.....you name it it happened! Oh well! I got some and I thought I would share the good and bad! Enjoy!:)

Sandcastles was out condo building!

Pretty girl on the boardwalk!

Heading out for pictures!

These pictures are the best because if they are not cooperating you can't tell!:)

Trying for a shot~HA! We would get one to smile and be happy and the other would not and vise versa! G complained of the sun and wind and L just didn't want me to sit her down! Oh the things we go through for pictures!

There still cute though!:)

Not having it AT ALL!

Love these little toes!

Sweet girl...most of the time!:)

Pretty Baby!

Me and my girls!

I wanted to show what goes on behind the scenes while trying to take pictures! G is running around silly in the background! We had to zoom her out of the ones of Lillie~ HA! If Craig had gotten a picture of me you would see me practically standing on my head to get these girls to smile! We were sweating and tired after all these pictures~ HA!
