Throwback Thursday

Tonight will be our last night in this house.  I am a little sad to leave the home we brought our babies home to and have made so many memories.  So many firsts took place here, first steps, first bath and first time on a tricycle. But with my sadness comes excitement.  We our about to start a new chapter of our lives and I am ready to fill the pages of our storybook.

 We have spent countless hours in the yard, on a blanket, chatting with neighbors and watching the kids play.

We have snuggled on rainy days and watched Tinkerbell a thousand times.

 I have cooked hundreds of Sunday morning breakfasts....eggs benedict is always a favorite!

 Life is full of unexpected twists and turns and you have to make the best of them all, good and bad.  We are ready and we are thankful for the time we spent here.

Stay tuned, as my next blog post will be coming to you from High Springs, Florida, where new adventures await!

Family Time

Family time is always fun but when you are able to get a bunch of cousins together, old and young, it is a blast! We spent the afternoon between the beach and the pool.  We swam, played in the ocean and looked for shells.

 CJ discovered the stairs in the condo right away and went up and down like a crazy person!

 All six if the little cousins.

 That storm in the background never made it to us, thank goodness!

 The kid is crazy at the beach.  He eats sand, crawls to the water and splashes like a maniac!

 This is the oldest cousin, Sierra, helping CJ find shells.

 Why are my kids tongues always out?

 We can't figure out what these crazy bugs are that we saw on the boardwalk???

 Everyone winding down after a lot of fun!

It was such a great day!  We were so thankful to spend the day with our extended family!

Bomb Pops

Nothing spells out a perfect summer night, more than Popsicles in the driveway after a long, HOT day.  It reminds me of my childhood, especially bomb pops.  If you haven't had one of these red, white and blue sticks of goodness you need to go get one STAT!

 This was CJ's first time with a popsicle.  He loved it, of course!

 The teeth kill me!

 It was her idea to give him.  She was very happy to share.

 "I'm taking my bomb pop and I'm outta here".

Perfect Florida evening! The end.
