Our fun beach weekend

What a fun weekend with great friends and family. On Sat. we went to the beach for a family picnic and pirate treasure hunt with the Swartzlander's. We took some family pictures and had fried chicken and dug in the sand for treasure in the dark (sorry kids the time snuck up on us) but had a blast. Ty and I (Kim) whooped Avery and Trista's butt in the card game hand and foot which definitely made my night :) On Sun. we went to Deerfield beach with Robin and Ari and then had dinner at Harry and Deb's. TJ was in town and we had a brunch and a birthday cake for him. TJ is Robin's dad (Robin is my sister-in-law). We miss him a whole lot because he is a riot and awesome with our kids. He makes us laugh and is just one of those people who you can't get enough of.

Ty and Jewels: new milestones

Julianna is such a darn trip. She is talking so much and saying the silliest little things. She loves the one on one time she is getting from Ethan being in school. Her favorite is the park where she always wants me to chase her and screams nanny-nanny boo-boo. (sorry about the spelling?) She is potty training and prances around in her big girl underwear all day. Her hobbies include drawing, playing with her babies, anything Elmo, and of course eating. She is such pig! Ty is my sweet little saving grace. He is so precious and always wants to be held. He now has 2 teeth that just came through on the bottom and is eating rice cereal. He likes the park and can go in the swing finally. His newest little trick is clapping. When we say "yeah" and clap, he copies. He really is a mellow baby and for the most part sleeps through the night. I love his bright blue eyes and huge smile, he is so beautiful.

1st day of Kindergarten!!!

Wow! The day had finally come to let our little guy go. I can't believe he is a kindergartner. He was so brave and Avery and I were so proud. I basically had to drag Avery out of the classroom the poor guy was so sad. Ethan has now gotten used to school and has a group of friends he talks about nonstop. He has informed me that "you can't play with girls" and that the cafeteria lady is "very mean and mad at everyone". He is so cool.
