WAY BACK WHENsday!

(Just a little idea I've stolen from the blog world- each Wednesday that I blog I'm going to post some pictures from the past, which will be easy since we've got a TON!)

In honor of this cold, dreary, wet weather we've been having lately I'm going to post some pictures of fun we've had last summer. I'm already yearning for warmer weather and all the fun activities!

We LOVED playing in the back yard. We had several activity "stations" - a baby pool, sand box, water table, and a playground set with slides. It was fun to put on the bubble machine and turn on some music too.

Nothing cuter than a baby with nothing on other than sunscreen and a pair of Crocs!



Taking a break....


Enjoying some watermelon...

Or a popsicle...I read in Parents magazine a great tip- save little plastic lids, cut a slit in them and use them on your popsicle to catch the melting juice. Works like a charm!


Last August, we went down to Beaumont for my friend Jan's baby shower and decided to squeeze in a day trip to Crystal Beach. It was such a memorable day for me. These are some of my favorite pictures of them ever- I think because I just remember how HAPPY they were that day....

Watching the waves with Grammy

He stayed just like this for about 5 minutes! He wouldn't even look at the camera- he just smiled and smiled....

I still remember Kate running in the water over and over...


A family portrait

I look back at these pictures and they've already changed so much! Kate's hair is a little longer and thicker, they are both less...how do you say....baby- I guess- less chubby and a little taller. **Sniff, sniff**
Reminds me to enjoy the present - even if it is the dead of winter!
