Beach time

We headed to Myrtle beach for a week!  We went crabbing at night, body surfing, lots of beach time, and water park fun.  Greyson is liking the beach more and the girls were catching some serious waves.  The crabs were teeny tiny but fun none the less.  We had great weather and enjoyed spending time with Daddy.  Mr. Masters surprised me with an 1.5 massage while he took the kids to the beach.  I loved being spoiled but my favorite part was spending time as a whole family.  =)

He officially comes home in a week!

Phoebe starts Kindergarten!  Her teacher is Mr. Crowder.

 Lula starts 2nd grade and her teacher is Mrs. Waldorf.

 They were excited to start school!

Got my new do!

 For my Birthday my husband spoiled me and her is a pic with my good friend Kara at a fantastic restaurant called Pampas.  We went dancing later that night.  My hubby brought flowers and cake home and showered me with presents.  I am one blessed woman with an amazing hubby.

Greyson got his first haircut.  He cried until they gave him a lollipop and then he was fine.  He looks like a big boy with his new haircut.

 We are still missing daddy terribly but he comes home next month for good.  We are so thankful for the time we have with him on every other weekend he can come to town.  We try to make the most of it then!

The girls did their first triathlon and did great.  It was in our neighborhood and Phoebe placed 2nd in her age group.  Once she crossed the finish line she ran with a friend the entire course again to encourage her.  I was so proud of them!!   They had fun and want to do it again next year!  Since Mr. Masters was out of town Nana and Grandpa came into town to help and cheer the girls on.  A big thank you to Grandma, Nana, and Grandpa!!!

Lula Turned 7!  Can't believe my baby is so big.  She is a blessing with her compassion, her mothering, and her love of life!  She brings so much joy to our lives.....

We spent the 4th with Grandpa and Nana!  

Mr. Masters is still on his rotation in D.C. and we miss him terribly but looking forward to driving up to see him for 2 weeks very soon.  Can't wait! In the mean time we are hanging out at the pool with friends and the girls are going to stay with Nana and Grandpa while I head to Alabama to visit family.  Did I mention my folks moved to TN which is about 2 hours away....so excited to have them so close.  

 Marki and Grey had a blast!  We went fishing and Grey caught his first fish.  I enjoyed staying up late with the family visiting and it goes by too fast.  Looking forward to the next one.

Alabama was so much fun as always!!  

On our way to see daddy in D.C. we stayed with dear friends on the way in North Carolina.  

We are so thankful for this sweet family and got to spend time on the way up and the way back from D.C.

We were excited to spend time with daddy!  We went explored downtown D.C. and went to Ocean City, Maryland for a weekend. We saw a real cannon get fired, and saw How to Train your Dragon Live.
