We Love the Beach!!!

Our good friends Bob and Jenny invited us to go to the beach with them. We had a terrific time! The guys got to play golf and the girls got to hang out on the beach all day with seven kids. Much to Judson's excitement, we stayed in a "big, big, big pink house." Every morning, after waking up before the crack of dawn, Judson wanted to go to the beach. He had so much fun playing in the waves and tickling his toes in the water. There were a lot of jellyfish in the water and just about everyone got stung. All the kids made a habitat out of Bob's cooler and they put shells and fish and clams in it. Some nice ladies from down the beach also put a crab in there.
Lila also had a great time. She had lots of little girls to play with. She also got to experience some new flavors. Lila had her first banana and avocado while we were at the beach. Judson and Lila have become big buddies and she loves him so much.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

For Mother's Day Brooks sent me on a long needed vacation. My mom, Judson, Lila and I went to Panama City Beach for a long weekend. Being at the beach is so relaxing, it makes even the 5 a.m. wakeup calls bearable. We had a blast while we were there. We dug holes in the sand, ate lunch at the beach and tickled our toes in the ocean. Judson loved being at the beach and did not want to come home (I don't blame him). He was a real character and every one around us couldn't keep their eyes off of him. The last day there my mom and I actually had 45 minutes of alone ocean time while Judson and Lila snoozed in the pop up tent. It was a real margarita moment (oops! I mean marvelous moment)! Thank you Brooks for being such a wonderful husband and providing this opportunity for us. Thanks to Eric and Alicia for letting us rent their condo. It was a fantastic trip.

We had a great Easter. Judson got to go to three Easter Egg hunts. The first one was at Turtle Point. When we got there we had pictures made with the Easter Bunny. Lila loved the Easter Bunny, but she loves everybody. Then, Judson hunted eggs and decided to eat a lot of chocolate balls and roll down the hill in his new shirt. After that, we went to the Easter Egg hunt on Walnut St. It was lots of fun and all of our neighborhood friends were there. On Sunday morning Judson and Lila woke up to discover the Easter bunny had been to their house and left a jelly bean trail to their baskets. And of course, Judson had more chocolate and a roll of Pez candy for breakfast. After church we went to our third and final egg hunt. By this time Judson had become a real pro and he found lots of egg (some even had money in them). It was a very fun weekend but we were all exhausted by the end of it.

Aspen Trip

The Real Snow Skiers and...



























The Little Wannabe who got left behind.

Snow

Saturday morning we woke up to snow. Granted, it wasn't much but it was enough to be excited about. I let Judson go outside in his jammies because I was afraid it would melt before I could get his clothes on (especially since he tells mommy no about everything). Later, we went outside and made snow balls. Judson liked throwing them in the pool. He thought they looked like ice cubes.

It's Been a Long Time

We went to Kirk and Tara's house President's Day weekend and had a great time. Kirk cooked lots of good food and all the babies had fun playing together. We look forward to hanging out again soon.

Chuck E. Cheese

We went to Chuck E. Cheese Monday night to celebrate our friend Greg's 39th birthday. It was Judson's first time at ole Chuck's and he had a blast. He drove Bob the Builder's bulldozer and played skeetball (he actually got a ball up there). We ate pizza and had a great time playing games and winning prizes. Even Lila joined in on the fun, sort of!!
