Vacation 2011...WARNING...LOTS of pictures!!

We had such a wonderful time on vacation!! This year we went to Myrtle Beach & we loved it so much, we have already decided that we are going again next year instead of somewhere new!!!

Of course I had to take the annual "here we go" photo...this year we have 2 eager for vacation!



Of course I HAD to take a picture of the manicure!


We thought the mountains looked so pretty with the clouds...


All greased up & ready to go...





Ready for dinner...



It is like Christmas for the kids!! They are just a LITTLE spoiled by their Aunt Jessica & Uncle Eric...
















The beach....ahhhh the beach...well, one of them LOVED the ocean & the sand & the other not so much. Now, it might surprise you which was which...Lilee LOVED the ocean, she would run off & jump the waves & would wade in with Daddy. Now, Samuel on the other hand LOVED the sand, but the minute you start walking towards the water...holy moly look out!!





















Crazy barrette's from Aunt Jessica...



Just like Daddy...



The 3 Amigo's!! These 3 are always together playing some type of game that they have made up, I love their relationship, I grew up with all my cousins around too & I am glad we are passing that on to our children!!












Waiting at Senor' Frogs...

















We went into this store called It's Sugar, it was so neat...I mean every kind of candy you can think of was in there, we all loved it. The kids favorite display was the Pez display...









We played games at night once the kids went to bed & on one of the last nights we played bullsh*t, we had so much fun, the winner got to wear the Smurf hat (sorry guys I'm not posting mine) ahahaha






of course we had snacks & this was the fanciest, yeah you are seeing that right & it was good =D


Well, it was such a nice time & memories were made & we are ready for the school year...on the way home, we kept hearing giggles from the back & I turned around & this is what I saw...




Thank you God for my family!!

Great Weekend

We had such a good weekend!! It actually felt like I was off longer than a few days. Lilee knew it was 4th of July & Samuel well, he was just pumped because Lilee was!! So, when Chuck came home for dinner we were beyond excited to do some sparklers!!
















Then came Lilee's favorite part & then of course Samuel's favorite part...the dessert

It's Official....she is 6

I just can't believe my little girl is 6! Time seems to fly by so fast. She is just such a love, that has blossomed into a terrific child & sister. We are so proud the way she tries everyday to be a Peace Builder (she learned that at school). We love you sweet Lilee, you have no idea how lucky we are to have you as our daughter!



We started her birthday with a family party on Saturday....

Then on her actual birthday she had her two best friends join her at the local pottery place for her "friend" party. That is all she wanted just those two & it was fine by us!!
























We let Lilee chose where she wanted to eat for her birthday dinner...and the winner...Chick Fil A, we took the last of her presents to dinner & she just thought that was so cool!










She loved every minute of her special days & now Samuel is counting down the days to HIS party!! Which he will proudly tell you "January"

Nothing much to post today. Lilee is SO glad to be out of school. She gets to see Daddy all day & Samuel too! What could be better. I know I haven't ever said this, but MAN, I LOVE these two!!

Cool Dudes

The other day we were out shopping & Lilee saw sunglasses. She said "Oh Mommy, look at all those great sunglasses", I of course was just passing by & she said "We ARE going to the beach this year Mommy & we need new sunglasses". Well who could refuse that!!! Here they are modeling for you....

These pictures were taken by Lilee & Samuel...
