Hannah's Solo Adventure

Our sweet little-big "7" year old flew on a plane to visit her Grammy and Grandpa from Virginia!! Mommy cried all day, literally until she landed safe and sound... I changed my mind about her going, like everyday. I was feeling so very selfish, but she is SO excited to go. I spent every summer with my Grandma and Papa. I have the most amazing memories from those summers and have always had an incredible relationship with them as well. She gets to start making her lifelong memories and strengthening the already great relationship she has with her Grammy. She is amazing so independent and strong, way beyond her 7 years. I will be missing you soooo much for the next 11 days. We love you sweet girl, to the moon and back until the sun turns black...

The Traveler

Boarding the plane, she is really tired of me taking pictures!!

We thought we could see her little face through the window. I swear, when I glanced out the window, I saw an angel kneeling at the back with huge outstretched wings. He was looking at me... Thank you for that.

Brotherly Love!

At the beach this past week Hudson found this little surf board chair!! He loved it and played with it all week!! Ethan decided he wanted a turn, Hudson was not happy about it!!

A Trip to the Beach!!

We just returned home from Encinitas!! Our dear friends were so kind and generous to let us stay in their beautiful beach house for the week!! THANK YOU!! We had the best time; celebrated Daddy's Birthday, spent a day in Temecula, picked fresh strawberries, dug in the sand, played in the ocean and rode every ride at Legoland, some twice!! Our Grammy's and Poppy joined us too, how lucky are we!?!

The Beach Family~

Dad trying to keep his babies above the water~

We could not keep Hudson out of the ocean!! He absolutely LOVED, he was literally running into it!! He is no longer crawling, which was really nice at the beach!!

Our crazies LOVED the roller coasters! We rode them all several times!!

It was a wonderful week!! Lots of beautiful memories were made...

A Visual Update!

Ahhhh! What have we been so busy doing that I haven't posted...hmmmm. Well, I will show you!!

Hannah has been Dancing & Singing...

And Playing the Piano...such a talented little girl!!

Ethan has been playing t-ball...whoo whoo! That's my pitcher!!

Hudson is learning to use a spoon...

The Rollback~

The Float~

The Whole Thing~

You ROCK Miss Holly!! We keep having babies just so we can come play in the water with you!!!

Hudson's Learning to Walk!!

Our little Hudsie Pie is so ready to walk! He really wants to keep up with Hannah & Ethan. He is cruising between furniture, can stand straight up without support and will push ANYTHING around that moves!! He's up to about 4 steps...

Who needs a walker when you have a box!! He has a lot to say too!

He is such a sweet boy!! He is sleeping through the night FINALLY, at least until 4:30am, so for me that works perfect!! He has 6 teeth and would play outside all day if we let him! Go figure, all of our kids could live outdoors. We watched him open the screen door the other day ~ thank goodness for his swim lessons!!!

The Honey Bee

Our sweet and talented little Hannah is getting ready for the school musical!! Thought we would share a clip from our budding star!!

Is she just the cutest!!!
