The Beach


On Saturday we went to our favorite beach with the Jackson's! It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun! The boys really enjoyed the water and the waves. Abby loved the water too! Owen enjoyed going out past the waves with Dave. He still does not like the waves! :) The current wasn't strong, so riding the waves was really fun!

We all went to Grotto's for pizza afterwards. It was a very fun memory!





I just love Abby's hat!










Fun with my boys


I love watching David and Owen together...they have such a blast! I love their joy!












Visit with Friends


On Friday, Ihad Jen and Lindy over with their kids. We had such a great time together! All the kids get along so well. David especially enjoys all the fun games he gets to play with Sydney and
Owen and Liam were playing together too. We got all of our children together for a photo and they all did so well!!! LOVE these kids!





These photos were taken by Rebekah who is really good at taking pictures!
Mama and Luke. What a sweet baby boy!

Fun in the pool.





Luke and Liam were laughing and talking to each other...it was SOOO cute.

Another great shot by Rebekah!

I think this picture if so funny, because Liam looks so HUGE. LOL.

Roly Poly


It's official! Our Liam has turned into a roly poly baby. :) He is now rolling over both ways and seems to really enjoy it. When he's on his play mat he just rolls around now! I can't believe how quickly he is growing! We love our little roly poly.




PS. Trying to capture the rolling...I think I need my video camera for this! :)

The Lake Family



On Saturday, we had a fantastic morning at our favorite beach and in the afternoon, our very old and dear friends who we haven't seen for years stopped by for a visit on their way to the Outer Banks. We so enjoyed getting to meet their two little boys, Isaac and James and it was so nice to catch up after so long! Hopefully, we'll get to see them again soon!


Josh showing the boys his very neat camera feature which they really got a kick out of watching.

Owen especially enjoyed playing with Isaac. What a sweet boy he is! Liz and I both took turns taking them for rides around our playground. We were also able to get a group shot using their camera and tripod, so I will be excited to post that when they send us the copy. What a fun afternoon and evening!

The Fair


A couple of weeks ago, we went to the annual fair that comes each summer. We really enjoyed all the rides and this was the first time that David wanted to go on the big rides. The boys loved it and we enjoyed a family night out.





Big Dave felt a little sick after the hang gliding ride...I don't think rides that spin around and go up and down are his favorite. :) However, David absolutely loves them...guess he takes after me!

Abby and Owen


We've had a very busy few weeks! I am way behind on pictures and the blog. :) A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated our special friend, Abigail's 2nd birthday! Abby is Owen's very special friend and it is very cute to see them play together. Abby calls him "Owey" which I think is adorable. We had so much fun at a little girl's birthday!! :) It will be so much fun to see Abby and Owen together at the beach in a few weeks. Happy Birthday, Abby!
