Washington DC

I had a training conference in DC this week so I decided that Tay and Gus needed to join me! Gus has never been there (it was my 5th time) and I was excited to share it with my boys. During the day Gus took Tay on adventures to the park, the pool and toured around Alexandria VA on foot. We got to spend our evenings together eating, walking and seeing the monuments. My conference was wonderful and the time away with my family was even better!

 

 

Yep that is my hubby causing trouble sliding down the Lincoln Memorial.

 

 

And the BEST picture from the entire trip!!!

Punta Cana

Gus and I got to get away for a little vacation to celebrate our anniversary (late), a babymoon, and his 36th birthday! We went to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic for 4 days and ended our trip in NY. We were having so much fun we came home a day late! We laid on the beach, played in the water, ate yummy food and just plain relaxed! Tay had a great time and I’m almost positive he didn’t even know we were gone. Christi sent me several pics (thank you!) of him playing with Ryle and causing all sorts of mischief with his cousin. I’m ready to start planning our vacation for next summer, now where to go?!?!

Cars Land Fun

We had a great time together last night hanging out with Lightning and Mater! We went on Maters Junkyard Jamboree which Tay giggled at the entire time we were whipping around and squishing him. He got to see Lightning and Mater drive down the street (which was awesome) and then we headed to Disneyland. Tay made friends in every line we waited in and had many girls swooning over his sweet curls. After many many rides we decided to get the kids their official traditional Mickey ears, I love them!

 

 

 

I got my sister a present...

 

Cole's Safari Adventure!

Party central around here - we celebrated 2 parties this weekend.  Jax turned 6 and as soon as Teren puts up some pics I will snag them, I didn't get to take one!  But it was a really fun party - more on that later :)

We had a blast celebrating Cole turning 5 yesterday at Safari Kingdom! It was so much fun to have the place to ourselves so the kids could run wild and play with their friends.  Gus had so much fun sliding, jumping, throwing and zip-lining with Tay.  After lots of jumping we went to the party room for cake and presents, Aunt Mary Kay outdid herself once again with an AMAZING cake!  Tay got to take home a safari hat and binoculars and he's wearing them still today, thanks for a great party Doc and Maria!

 

 

 

 

Bowling With Bella

We had a great time at Bella's 7th (WOW!!) birthday party! Becky did an awesome job on the party, and the kids were so well behaved and bowled really well. Tay wanted to bowl SO bad during the kids games and he settled for handing the balls to the them. At the end of the party he got to throw 1 ball down the lane and I think he thought "that's it?" LOL!  Thanks for having us (and letting me snag some of your pics) we love you!
