Lucky 27

Yesterday on the 27th of May I turned 27 years old and am 27 weeks pregnant (well.. a few days short... but still ironic). This is my lucky year! I think today I will buy a lottery ticket.

Beach - Part 6

We were in total vacation mode all week and got the most fantastic take-out every night to eat in our condo in our pajamas. The last night we were there we decided to branch out and go OUT. After getting ready I came out to find everyone passed out. And I am seriously a 20 minute or less kind of girl.

I got them up and we went out anyway, other than being really tired... we had a blast. I wish I would have taken a picture of all the yummy food we ate.

I love Brodey's face in this one with Jeff.

After dinner we went to a marina to look at some really cool boats. Brock was confused, he kept saying "I ride boat!" and was totally bummed that we were just looking. Up from the marina was a fun outdoor restaurant where we had dessert... this pile of sand was the waiting area. Genius for families with small children, they didn't care if we waited all day, they were having a blast playing in the sand with the other kids.

Back at the condo we were getting them ready for bed and Jeff told Brodey to do something (I can't remember what) and Brodey wrinkled up his forehead at him, pointed his finger and said, "You tripin' homes!" We didn't know how to respond to that.

It was a great vacation, so many more pictures and much more memories... these are just the highlights.

Beach - Part 5

I may be going a little overboard with the photos here... but there is just so much to remember!



The difference in the coloring of the boys skin is so shocking to me. They are brothers yet total opposites. Makes me wonder what this next one will look like.

This one is just for proof that I really was there too. This is my "I feel really nauseous" face.

I love how kids couldn't care less about having sand in every crevice of their bodies.

Beach - Part 4

My boys. Brodey likes to introduce people to Brock, he'll say "This is Bwock... he's my best friend."

This picture to the right makes me laugh. When we first got to our condo we walked down to the pool, my first thought was "is this a pool? or a hot tub?". Brodey comes behind me and says "Daddy! Look at this HUGE pool!!"

This is Brock's favorite pose. We find him in this position a lot. He loves to play peek-a-boo, or as he calls it "Ka-Boo".

Beach - Part 3

This is my most favorite beach picture... I have one of them running toward me too, but I figured I would spare him the embarrassment. (Brodey had is shorts rolled up like that because the sand was scratching his legs... Brock went for no shorts to solve that problem.)

Beach - Part 2

It was shocking how much gear we brought with us to the beach everyday... chairs, shade tent, shovels, buckets, boats, trucks, balls, towels, sunscreen... and much more. All that and all we actually needed was two shovels, a bucket and a big giant hole. They entertained each other for hours and were so fun for us to watch. I brought 3 books with me to the beach... I never even opened one. Watching them play was the absolute best entertainment.

Beach - Part 1

We are back from a week at the beach... we had so much fun and took so many pictures. The boys loved the beach and swimming in the pool.

They both did really great traveling... I turned around once and this is how I found Brock, hands behind his head taking in the scenery. I don't think he was thrilled about me taking his picture. The 6 hour trip took us 8 hours... no surprise there. We took our time and made lots of stops (a 3 year old bladder and a pregnant woman results in many potty breaks). Plus we have a tradition of stopping at Cracker Barrel anytime we travel anywhere further than 45 minutes from our house.
