OKI 2014

We had a great time at the beach over the 4th.  The weather was pretty great, minus a tropical storm which gave us a full day of rain--but occasionally days like that can be fun too :)

perfect summer mornings
There was some sand play...like Daddy would work really hard on sand castles and then the kids would destroy them :)


flying kites

The buckets were still a big hit this year...Nora now had a partner to hang out in the buckets with her.  
 This girl LOVED the beach and water this year.  She wanted to spend every second of her time down there. We tried our best to oblige. 
 the twins played real hard...
 and Davis joined in whenever he could
 Daddy dug out pools most days for the kids to play in 


 D really liked to take a chair down to the surf and sit.  That's also my favorite thing to do, so we spent a lot of time doing that. 
Nora did so well body boarding with Daddy this year, we took her to get her own board.  She was so excited and proud of herself.

We're very thankful to Pop Pop and Grandma for another fun beach trip.  

On our way home we like to stop at Prov Co to get some yummy food...its my favorite place (and lots of other people's fave place too, considering the line that had formed when we were leaving)

 Boiled Shrimp, Crab Cakes and Cucumber Salad....ahhhh

January.Gone

January came and went and i really didn't post anything.  BUT we did do stuff...here's the proof. 

we wore silly hats at PopPop and Grandma's house
 we also met some of our Texan Cousins for the first time
Natalie, Davis, Holden, Nora, Colin, Hank and Owen
 Davis decided to grow up and eat dinner like a big person (at a little table ;)

Nora had lots of conversations and snuggles with Meow
 best friends
 i got a lot of snuggles from this little guy
 I made a special treat for the kids one night...saltines, cheddar cheese and marsh mellows...toasted.  I ate it growing up and now the kids love it too.  So surprisingly good--you must try.   

On the few warm days we've had here and there, we've taken their new bikes out

Holden's pretty much got it under control and even did great breaking 

 This kid had some amazing hair days. 

and with all the cold weather, we've had some amazing play days



our favorite barber made a house call ;)
 we braved the castle park on a cold day ...and nora braved the tight rope 
 this boy just grew even cuter
 and so much more snugglier....melt my heart
 after days inside because of sickies all around...we broke out and had a dinner party at Chili's 
 and the bathtub gang gained a new member
Mini Spidey 
 tickling and blowing raspberries...these boys love each other
 Davis actually watched a little TV, this lasted about 2 minutes...
