Annual Girls Trip

I spent a few days in Colorado at the Mountain House with some of my oldest friends. We had the best time!!!

Giant Noah!

Noah is growing so fast!!! He is up to my arm pit and getting bigger every day.

We just had to get him a bigger bike-

And these are my (big) feet in his flip flops!!!

He is still one of my darling boys!

Three Cutest Kids!

We have the three cutest kids!

Summer Fun...

We are having a great summer so far. We've spent a lot of time playing and swimming.

Here the big kids are with a sprinkler we made so they can play "Splashy Basketball."

And here is how Annalise spends most of her days, reading with lovey!

Sportsy Boys!

Noah likes to dress in athletic clothes. He calls this looking "sportsy." Noah also loves the Dallas Cowboys and Elliot loves the Houston Texans. Tony Romo is Noah's favorite and JJ Watt is Elliot's favorite.

Here are my sportsy boys...

A Week at the Beach!

In May we loaded up the car and made the long drive to the beach in Florida. We met my parents and Thomas and Amy there. It was perfect weather, uncrowded (due to the whole school thing), and so fun!

Here we are playing on the beach. This year was extra fun because none of the kids were scared of the water! We played lots of sports on the beach and spent a lot of time in the sand and waves.

T and his handiwork-

 Elliot couldn't get enough sand. He just rolled around in it as much as possible.

We ate at fun restaurants-

Every evening after dinner Noah wanted all of us to go play on the beach. It was so fun and just another opportunity to get sandier!

Kite Flying...

 Playing chase-

Some attempts at family pictures...

The kids (and grown ups) are already looking forward to next year!!!
