Evening Walk on the Beach

Tonight we went for a walk on the beach with Aspen and the girls. The kids thought it was great going to the beach after dinner, its not something we usually do! The weather was beautiful, perfect for beach walking!



My Treasures: Good and bad! (No, I didn't bring home the horseshoe crab!)

Family Fun Community Day

Family Fun Community Day we thought was going to equal free food... Yeah we're that cheap! But we were wrong. These pony rides were the only thing that was free. I of course didn't think our kids would even come close to going near one. I mean horses are much bigger in person then the toys we have here at home.

I didn't want to go anywhere near these beast, but I really try not to project my fears and dislikes onto the children. So when they asked to ride we headed right over there! I seriously thought they would wait in line patiently, but when push came to shove they wouldn't get on. Boy was I WRONG!! Both Jaycob and Abygail hopped right on like they were old pros at it! This really surprised me, Daddy, and Aspen. They even wanted to do it again, but the line was just too long!

This was Maddy's 5th time around. She had rode 4 times around by the time we even got there. She LOVES the whole horse thing!

Thanks Aspen for these great pictures! My camera was being stupid!

Water Park

Both kids were quite aprehensive about the spraying water. But as you can see Jaycob warmed up quite nicely. He wasn't fully into it but he did get wet! Abygail on the other hand never did get wet and just bugged this poor baby!

Fish and Snakes

The kids love fishing... They pretend to fish all the time so when I seen this set that actually came with two poles and they actually reel... I couldn't help myself! I just wish the hook was a bit more weighted or something so Jaycob could actually cast!

Daddy found this out in the yard... Nice, huh??

Foggy Beach

Sand hill the kids made all by themselves!

FUnny thing is that this fog didn't burn off until well after noon!!

Last Speech Session

According to the teacher he traced his own hands on that butterfly. And they worked on the MMMMmmmm sound, which I really haven't heard an issue with. But there may be exercises there that I'm not aware of! And they worked on the 'Puh' sound. Having his lips together to make the 'P' sound instead of his teeth over his bottom lip! He's been doing pretty good since!

Digging, Digging....

Digging for treasure again!

My treasure!

Later in the day it stormed and we got this lovely rainbow to show for it!

Yard Sale

Aspen and I had our first yard sale in this area.... We did really well considering someone stole our signs!!

The whole time I was preparing for the yard sale I was telling the kids not to mess with the stuff. It was now baby stuff and they are now big kids! But I thought for sure once they seen all the stuff they would want to keep it. I'm so proud of them there wasn't a single time they asked to keep an item. They asked to play with them, but was sure to tell me that they would put it right back!!

The three got bored after a while so Matt took ALL three of them out for a bike ride!

Beach with Maddy

Here's the troublesome trio filling in the hole I dug!

Jaycob getting his feet wet! He was very proud of himself!

Jaycob sees an airplane (again) and of course my treasures!!

First Speech Session

We had Jaycob's speech session today! His teacher said that he did well. I know he had fun by the mood he was in when he came out! Jaycob colored this frog, practicing his 'G' sound at the end of words. And the pictures of these other items were glued onto the back. When I asked him to recite these word he said the majority of them properly.

Originally we were supposed to only have one session, but there's another Tuesday before school is out so we get to go back next week too! He's looking forward to it.

Soft and Fuzzy

While helping Daddy clean out the garage today Jaycob discovered a paint roller!! Yeah, he rolled this thing up and down his chest forever!!

Free is Good!!

Today we noticed that a block down they had signs up for FREE books!! Daddy had to go out for a bit so I put the kids in the stroller and walked down there! Good thing Daddy drove past as I was still down there. I don't know if I could have pushed it all back!!

These are just the ones that I really felt we should take, since they were all free!!

The kids love the Fidgety Fish, Lazy Ozzie, and Wake Up Mr. B!

Potty Praise

It never ceases to amaze me what they'll come up with!! They're newest thing is standing there and clapping and saying "Yay!!! Yay!!!" to each other while the other is pooping! They go as far as to call the other upstairs when they get done doing their business, just so they can clap!! It's crazy!

No Beach Pictures

Except this one once we got home! See my rare red piece??

Evening Walk

Tonight we went for a walk on base where we used to walk every night. There was a family of swans feeding when we got there. The kids thought it was great, but they were a bit upset that they wouldn't come near enough to us to feed them bread!

Daddy and his camera! Uhhhhgggg...

A little game of kick the rock!

And when we walked back down this way the swans were all on the beach, resting.
