May Recap

We made a few trips to the beach this summer and we found out that BusyB does NOT like the sand just yet.. so we had to improvise.. by the end of the month she was at least happy being in the water as long as she wasn't touching the sand.. enjoy

We set up a bamboo mat in the shade and gave her some buckets and shells and she had fun playing with the shells in the buckets..

SportyB on the other hand was knee deep in the sand building a fort with his friends - they had a blast

Here is a short clip.. in the end she says it herself

Towards the end of the month we went out by boat to Dog Island with The Campbells, their family, and a few friends. We always have a great time spending the day out there.

BusyB and her Meg float in the water.. this is how she spend most of the day

KingB riding back with the kids up front.. hold on!

The kids released them before leaving.. no worries

Someone was sacked out, shhhhhhh. Really it didn't matter, nothing was waking her up at this point - turn up the music!

April Recap

Well since I'm M.O.N.T.H.S behind I'm going to keep on keeping on with the recap theme.. it's been fun though as the kids seem so little 'then' (my now postings) they grow so fast.. I don't have many pictures from this month.. not sure why not but take what you can get.. Easter is pretty much it and a few more of our puppy..

SportyB trying to show his sister what they got, she wasn't too sure at first

she quickly caught on

Happy Easter


SportyB was very excited to find the eggs

BusyB was finding a few with the help of her brother but was wanting to hold them all instead of using her basket. She finally realized it wasn't going to work carrying them all.

KingB was in N. Carolina for the weekend for his friends wedding, we weren't all able to make the trip. Here is a picture of us at church



the kids

They are so sweet with each snap shot.. HA

Our puppy is growing.. here are a few April photos of him

Check out the size of those feet!

What a great big brother... we went to the Science museum and they have a 3D exhibit so SportyB was checking them all out and he wanted his sister to see what he was seeing so he was trying to get her to look through the glasses

They had this mat when you walked on it the picture changed the kids had a ball playing on it running all over

A friend of my sisters is dabbling in photography and came over to take some pictures. She did an amazing job and the kids had a great time (but BusyB got a little cranky towards the end)


We tried for 20 minutes trying to get a good shot of the three of them together and I think we got ONE, here is our attempt in trying to capture the photo


Our new baby cousin Finley Grace Toth


I think this was the last shot of the night
