Fun at the Beach!

My wonderful husband and beautiful daughter Emma

Jack and daddy

This past week we went to Okaloosa Island Florida. We stayed at a condo called Waterscape. The water was beautiful, the weather was great and the company was the best. We went with my parents and brother and his family. The kids had so much fun!! They had 4 pools-2 kiddie pools with a water slide. Here is Emma going down the slide.

Day at the Park, Ben's B-day & Princess

I went to the park last week with Vicki, Jessie and Melissa and their children. This is Sammy. He has a little brother Harrison who is only 3 months old.

Jack & Austin enjoying lunch-that is what they ate of it.

Sammy eating his PBJ. Yummy!

Brodie holding onto the fence, which is around the park area. Good thing so that no one can sneak away from us.

Emma and her best friend Abigail looking at the caterpillar (which is in the picture below). He was kinda a creepy caterpillar. Of course you know they all wanted to touch it!

Emma, Abigail and Jay carefully poking the caterpillar with a stick.

This past weekend we went to Susan & Lee's to celebrate Ben's birthday. Here is Emma enjoying her dinner with Jake.

Here is the cake that I made for Ben. He loves Buzz Lightyear!

This is such a Susan expression. So serious!

Me holding my sweet Joshua. I still cannot believe how big he is. He is not even 5 months yet! His thighs are almost as big as my arms!

Here are everyone helping Ben open his presents. He would unwrap one thing then want you to get it out of the box right that second. So cute.

Emma and Jack looking at Ben's new book.

Emma holding daddy. I took all this pics so that Bobby could get a new profile picture on Facebook. He he he. His profile picture he has now is from Hawaii last year.

Granpa is so wonderful that he bought Emma 3 new princess dresses, Jack a bulldozer and them some crayola coloring pages. Of course Emma came home and had to try them all on for me. She loves to dress up as a princess. Well you know that she is REALLY a princess!

Her Barbie princess dress.

My sweet Jack. For the past month and a half we have been potty training Jack. I was not going to force the issue since he is only 2 1/2 and a boy, but he told us that he wanted to pee pee on the potty. So of course we said go for it! Well he has been doing great. He does have accidents now and again, but mostly when he is not near a restroom and/or I am not with him. At home he will just go on his potty without me asking him if he has to go, but if we are out, I have to ask him if he has to go and bring him. His preschool teacher said that he went potty 3 times last Thursday so that was really good. Anyways, he is doing a great job and we are so proud of him! Yeah JACK!!!
