Playing Catch Up!

So the last week has been so busy and I haven't really found the time to sit down and post anything. I have all of these picture that I've been taking and waiting to be shown, but I find something else to do. Besides the kids make it near impossible to be on the computer these days.

Each collage is in a day! So this one below was 2 weeks ago when Kathy and her friend Pam got the boys and I to the beach for a couple hours. It was spring break for some kids, ok maybe a lot! The boys didn't mind all the people, but it was definitely harder keeping an eye on them. Good thing Kathy had Jt and I had T man.

We had a great time playing in the water (probably 75+ degrees) and beautiful outside. One of the good things about being in the Atlantic ocean, it's super warm and not cold like the Pacific back at home. People were surfing in their board shorts! The water back home is freezing in the middle of summer. People still wear thick wetsuits in the middle of summer back home. So this here is super nice!

Lately the kids are wanting to color, draw or play with play-dough. Ok, not lately, Everyday! Especially Tanner! He loves the markers and emptying out Jts play-dough bag. He gets a kick out of making a mess and throwing it all over the floor. I do have to say he's a pretty good little helper when it's time to cleaning up! So that makes it worth while being he enjoys all of it!
Jackson has been learning so much at school too. He is always bringing home papers of things he's written and now sees words and is spelling them out to me. He even came home yesterday adding and subtracting without looking at the paper. Wow, I am totally impressed!
At the end of this particular day, I couldn't pass up this beautiful sunset! 3 layers of colors and the way the sun was highlighting some of the clouds, beautiful!


Last Friday, Jt had his last dentist visit and Jeff was able to take him to this one. He had 2 fillings and was put on the No Cavity List! He came home wearing this tooth sticker with a reward ribbon attached to it. He was so proud and even wanted to wear it to bed. I said no and stuck it in his baby book! Mean ole mom!
While Jeff and Jt were out that day, T and I put on our bathing suits and played in the backyard. We ate some watermelon and found a slug moving across the patio. We played in the water and enjoyed our time together. I love getting this time with him, especially when life seems so busy these days. He really seems to enjoy our quiet times together and loves to be near me more. I think he knows to soak it up when Jt is gone. Definitely love spending time with him!

Now that Jeff is home, I will have to have him sit down and tell you about his trip! He has some great photos and some cool little stories to go a long with them!
Hope you all have a great Easter weekend!
