Weekend at the Beach

We had a fantastic time at the beach this weekend. I took a lot of pictures. The kids really loved playing in the water. It was the first time they'd seen the ocean and it was a huge hit. Especially by Jack. He was as happy as a lark.
I took most of the pictures. My dad took the ones that have me in them. I haven't even begun to edit all the "playtime" beach pictures yet! I hope you enjoy them!

Jack

This picture just shows every ounce of personality my son has. I've labled it: My Sweet Little Devil!

Soccer Time

We had our first day of soccer practices and the girls really enjoyed themselves. I wanted to share a few pictures.

All ready to go


Chloe


Is she really only 5? Well, I guess she'll be 6 in January. But my goodness she look SO old!


Brooke's a movin'!


Apparently this is WWF soccer (FYI, Brooke and the girl, Janae, are best friends)



I'm done.


I had fun!

I'm so proud

Need I say more?

I love Ikea

For many many reasons. I will just list a few

1) Child watch. Need I say more?
2) Lindonberry juice. If you've not had it, try it. It is very very yummy.
3) Lots and lots of affordable, fun products. I will show you an example:

I got 2 bookcases for my playroom yesterday and finally got it all set up and I love it. LOVE it!

Look Alikes

Thanks Melissa for posting this on your site! It was so fun I had to do mine too!

Video of Jack

Just wanted to share this video of Jack. He is a crack up. Don't mind the mess in the background, It's been cleaned....Then messed up again, then cleaned...you know how that works.

Jason's Deli

I just wanted to give a P.S.A. (Public Service Announcement)

Jason's Deli has some FABULOUS Tomato Basil soup. I went there for lunch today with my church's lunch bunch group and it was so incredibly tasty. I am so glad I discovered it before the winter season hits. I can tell that I'll probably be getting that quite often.

If you get a chance to stop there, get it. You won't be sorry!

What a day!

I am so glad that it is over. I was so so busy. I am finally getting some time to sit and veg! I thought that the batchelor was supposed to be on at 8, but it's not yet.

We had an awesome awesome weekend. It was our anniversary on friday. We have made it to 7 years. Amazing. Time really does fly. We took our first vacation together without the kids since we moved here to Texas. We went for 2 nights down to the cost. Corpus Christi. We just got to be together, go to the beach, go eat, ect. It was really nice. We went to the U.S.S. Lexington and that was beyond amazing. We spent 4 hours on the ship and we didn't even see it all. We must have walked miles on that ship. It was really neat, although when we went down 4 flights, I got pretty clausterphobic! All in all it was very very fun.

My dad is flying out here in 2 weeks, so I think we are going to head back down to the coast with the kids and let them play on the beach for the weekend and just hang out. They have never seen the ocean, so that should be really fun. I am going to have my dad take our pictures on the beach. I'm thrilled about that.

Well, I'm off to play online and hopefully catch The Batchelor! Have a good one!

Under Construction

I'm under construction a bit. Be patient if you notice any wierd changes

Time flies!!

Okay, I'm a bad blogger. I have no updated since July?! It is now October. HA! HA! What is up with that? Since I've written last, I guess alot has gone on. Not too much, but just the day to day stuff. The biggest event is that Chloe started school. Yup, I am now a parent of a school aged child. That is about the weirdest feeling. I just don't feel old enough to have a child going to school. But she loves it. This is her on her first day:



She's now been in just about 6 weeks and it is awesome. She is getting the daily attention/activities that she needs right now. She still comes home a bit tired and moody, but I can deal with that. It has been good for both of us.

Since I am sharing pictures, I put some up of Brooke and Jack too:





I am going to try my hardest to be a better blogger. We will see how well that works....
