Spring Break 2011

Every year we spend Spring Break at the beach camping. (in a motorhome mind you) We love it. This year was our 5 year in a row. I love that there are no distractions. No tv, computer etc. Just quality family time. This year Sydney brought a friend, a trend that I think will continue every year. And Grandma Terri and Grandpa David had a site too. Which I loved. And cousins came to visit and had sleep overs. It was so much fun. We went on bike rides, played at the beach, and bbq'd yummy food. I love, love, love our Springs Breaks.

Our trip to the tide pools. Nico lost a shoe to the ocean on the way so he used his remaining shoe as a shelf for his finds.

She LOVED the sand.

Home Sweet Home for the week.

Sophie and her cousin Jett!!!! I {heart} them!!!

Nico, and cousins Drake & Cade!!! Crazy little guys who are BEST friends.

More to come in another post as I get them edited.

I think it's about time for a new post.......

Easter

I finally posted something. I've been wanting to for a while just never got around to it. We had a lovely Easter this year. Woke up and the kids went on their tradition Easter basket hunt. We leave clues in eggs and send them all over the house to find their baskets. This year's baskets were filled with new bathing suits and flip flops for our Spring Break adventure at the beach. (our yearly vacay)

Then we headed to church and then to Nick's brother's house for a family dinner. The kids were so happy to see their cousins.

I LOVED the girl's outfits this year. I tried to find the perfect matching shirt for Nico but couldn't. Although he still looked so handsome.

She's growing up so fast. Please slow down Sydney.

Ditto Nico!!!!!

I'm overcome....

I melt!!!!!!!!

A Whale Watching Tale

{Sydney walking on our way to school}

I was able to accompany Nico and his 2nd grade class on their field trip to go whale watching. It was a great day. We didn't see any whales but we did see lots of dolphins. I was glad I was able to make it. Now that I have a gaggle of children I don't get to volunteer in classrooms like I was able to in years past. We had a fabulous time.

Camden {8 Months}

A week or so ago I asked my dear friend Kelsey Crowder of Kelsey Claire Photography to take come pics of Camden to document her spunky personality. I swear these babies grow up waaay to fast. And I couldn't be happier with the results. They display her personality exactly the way I wanted them too. She is full of spunk and silliness. She has been my worst sleeper but I dare say she is the silliest of my kids. She will laugh at everything. Nico has a little thing that he come in real close to her face and says "debit cards" really funny and she dies every time. Even if she's crying to she will stop to laugh at Nico. I'm excited to see how wicked her little sense of humor becomes as she grows up. I can't imagine my life without my little Cami.

Soccer and Sophie

Well my second little girl started soccer. I can remember when Sydney started, and now that seems so long ago. And now it's Sophie's turn. I love my little soccer star Part 2. I'm anxious to see what she brings to the soccer table. In the mean time she sure looks darling in her uniform and sparkly hair bow.
