Beach part 2

Love those precious children. 

Next some late night crab hunting with Dad.  Hannah was the most brave...touching every crab she could get her hands on. I love Jack's face in this picture. 

 Our best shot at a pic of all three.

Beach Time

Earlier this summer we had our annual beach trip with my Dad's family.  It is the greatest trip and we look forward to beach time and relaxing all winter long.  Somehow the notion that the trip is coming makes our long winter a bit more palatable.

Lots of pictures to tell our story of our beach time.

Recital

Hannah successfully completed her first year of dance.  She participated in a ballet and a tap number for the recital and make us all very proud.  Big brother even got her flowers which she might have even liked more than participating in the recital.

Trying to stay calm before the recital. We were there a good hour before it started.

I fed her healthy snacks and tried to keep her from getting too wound up and excited.

Way to go Hannah!!

My Diva

He is Too!

This sweet boy had a birthday last month and now he is TWO!  

He is also "too"...

"i'm hungry too"
"need a bandaid too"
"go bathroom too"

Just pick something - he idolizes big brother and sister wanting to be just like them.
Needless to say his birthday stemmed from big brothers love of spiderman and big sisters love of My Little Pony.  He was insistent upon having a Spiderman/My pony birthday.

We had a fun relaxing morning at home with breakfast donuts and balloons.

Then headed to Georgetown to ride the Loop Railroad. 

When we asked Caleb what he wanted for his birthday dinner he told us Candy.  We asked what else he said "M&M"s. Then he said Lollipops. So we decided to give the kid corn dogs for dinner. 

(Yuck and Don't judge me)

His whole meal was served on sticks/toothpicks like lollipops.  

We had a fun time celebrating our big boy 2 year old!  He loved opening cards and presents!  He even got a My Little Pony castle and Loads of My little ponies. He also got a fierce dragon that eats the ponies!

Dad and C wearing his new SUPERHERO cape!

The Cake...

Checking out the cake...

Love this kid...

As he would say - 

We love him "So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so...BIG!"

Lucky Me

This is from Mother's Day this year.  Coffee in bed, church with my family, play-time at the park and frozen yogurt - It was a Fabulous day!  I am so blessed by these cute little kiddos and a thoughtful husband!  Not just on Mothers day but every day!

Happy Fathers Day
