Lots, Lots, lots of Pictures

This last month we have had a few adventures, I tried to get a picture or two in for each, sorry there a little out of order.

Ethan getting his first professional haircut, only cost $15

We took a trip to MD, DC, and PA last week, it was lots of fun, saw some great sights and people we love.

Went to a pumpkin patch

I ran the Marine Corps Marathon and did better than I thought 3:26, Boston here I come!

The kids have been very patient with all my running to prepare for my race, well kind of......

We have had a few new experiences the past couple of weekends. We brought Alivia and Ethan to the beach for the first time. They loved it, Alivia was chasing the birds and the waves, and Ethan was trying to eat the sand, too fun!

Riding the Ferris wheel downtown at the Aquarium

Touch the fish and watching the white tigers

a few more dancing pics from Zachary's wedding, my kids like to shake it

We have been wrapping up summer and heading into fall even with the heat here. Were still swimming and playing at the parks.

Football season has started and the Steelers are off to a good start!

Trying on Halloween costumes, I think we are going to have to nix this lion outfit, Ethan won't keep the head piece on

Alivia started pre-preschool, she loves it now. It was an ordeal to get a picture

My sweet man

We miss Mickey, guess were going to have to head back to FL

Yuck

We have had another round of ear infections, yuck, poor Ethan has been thur the ringer this week, but somehow Liv always makes him smile.

August 2009

August is only halfway thru and we have already had way too much fun! We have had lots of family in town with my brother getting married last weekend, it was so great to see all the cousins play, and just enjoying the summer together.

My sweet babies are always on the go and keep me super busy

Our cousin Cade had his 1st bday party BBQ, what a baby bash!

Swimming, an almost daily occurance

Zachary's wedding, it almost melted us for pictures, poor kiddos

What!?! Summer 2008

These pictures were taken a year ago when we went to go visit my sister in Seattle, besides the fact that I am 4/5 months pregant here and already showing I have one question, "What happened to my baby?"
