When we were at the beach on the 4th of July weekend my niece Anna had this purse that Macey LOVED, and so Anna gave it to her. (thanks Anna, we love you!) Macey carries it around with her all the time. The purse and Dolly are her favorite. Mace has kind of a weird smile in this picture 'cause she fell and has a huge FAT lip.

I also forgot to mention that my aunt provided ty-dye on our 4th of July vacation. Here's a picture of Macey in her sweet ty-dye onesie. She wanted the camera and was mad I was trying to take a picture with it.

Finally I let her play with one of our cameras while I took a picture with the other.

Good old 4th of July!

For the 4th of July we went to Lincoln City, which is a little beach town on the Oregon Coast. My whole Family (minus my brother in law Adrian) were able to come. We stayed in a beach house courtesy of my parents, and had a wonderful time.Macey got a flag at a parade we went to. She enjoyed waving it around.


Here's a shot of the girls as we sat around chatting on the stairs. Always a popular place to gather!

We did fireworks on the beach as well as made smores. This is a picture of Anna loving her sparkler!




Nichole, Mom, and Amy tried out the sparklers too.

As well as Alan!

We also played lots of games. The Whitings love games!

Macey loved my brother Jeff and was constantly wanting to go to him. Here they are at the parade.
