Tyler's Birthday Party

Tyler had his 4th birthday party today and he had a blast! We had several friends over and played in the pool and slip and slide. He had requested a Toy Story birthday, so we had lots of fun Toy Story stuff at the party- even Toy Story mac and cheese- which all the kiddos seemed to really like! Here are just a few of the pictures of the fun- thanks to all who joined us!

Checking out Tyler's Cake

So tomorrow Tyler is having a birthday party with family and friends. Mommy made him a cake, and Tyler was pretty happy with it when he checked it out....

 

 

But you'll have to wait for the party pictures to see what it looks like!

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Our Tyler man is 4! We did a small celebration at home and he opened a couple of presents and then mommy and daddy took Tyler and Caleb to meet up with Jack and his parents for dinner and more treats.

Happy 10 months, Little Bug

And she's so happy! She's crawling around everywhere and pulling up on everything. She babbles all the time and loves the water- she loves to swim. She would rather eat regular food for every meal, and is not biggest fan of baby food, so she is getting to try out all sorts of new foods lately!

 
 

Jockey's Ridge

Daddy joined us for the last part of our beach trip, so on Friday the boys and mommy and daddy took a trip to Jockey's Ridge. The weather was beautiful- a pretty unusual cool day for the beginning of July. The boys had a blast climbing up the huge sand dunes and just in general having a great time!

 

 

 

 

Hermit Crab Lessons

We got hermit crabs today! And we were lucky to have Aunt Sarah teach us how to take care of them. Everyone got to choose and name their own. Caleb named his crab Mac and Cheese- or Mac for short. Tyler named his Henry- like the hermit crab on Dinosaur Train. Garett named his Dude- his latest favorite phrase is "what's up dude?" Which is what he asks his crab every time he gets him out of his cage.

 

 

 

A new place to sleep and spaghetti dinner

Garett was exhausted after his day of playing- that's what happens when you go non-stop and wake up at 7 am!

 

 

Sophie also got a spaghetti dinner tonight and really enjoyed it!
 

 

1st day at the beach

The kiddos really enjoyed their first day on the beach. They can't wait to go back tomorrow for some more fun in the sun and sand. All of the adluts thought the water was really cold, but none of the boys minded at all- especially Tyler- he kept running back for more and more!

 

 

 

 

Beach trip

We had a great time at the beach- this was from our first visit to the ocean- it was pretty cold, but lots of fun. It was also windy, so Miss Sophie didn't stay too long- since she's down at ankle level the sand kept getting in her face. But she still loved eating the sand :)

 

 

 

Caleb's Last Game

Last Tball game on Saturday! Caleb really enjoyed playing this year. This game was a game that parents could play in also. Well, both Garett and Tyler wanted to try out the game also.

With his trophy- he's so proud!
 

Outside fun- evening

Mommy got us a new treat, and we got to get it out this evening. Everyone got to take a turn and we all had a blast!

 
 
 
 

Outside Fun- morning

It was another day with Aunt Katie today- we got to swim and play outside, which was lots of fun- we love our new backyard- lots of space to run around in!
