Celebrating 4th of July @ the Hilton

Cole HATES fireworks.

Ella wasn't so sure, but she stayed out there w/ Daddy

Big Daddy under his cabana

Ella celebrated her 2nd b-day @ the Marlin Grill. Mommy & Daddy brought a cake to the restaurant and we all sang to her!

Cole on the rock climb @ Baytowne Wharf

Watersliding on the beach!

Again, Ella HATES the sand.

The best pic we could get...Not too bad!

Cole playing @ The Back Porch

Cole looking for sand crabs...when he actually saw one he FREAKED. He refused to go back on the beach at night again!

Ella, once again, being held at the beach.

Cole was a true beach bum. He loved boogie boarding w/ Henley & Daddy.

Ella's 1st time on the beach...NOT A FAN.

The best sisters in the world.

Dad & Mitzi

Sometimes, Jacey just couldn't take anymore. :-)

Cole LOVES putt putt

Family pic before dinner on the 1st night in Destin.

Jacey's 1st time in the sand!

We all went to FL again this year (except for Lance & Catherine b/c she was pregnant). It was Jacey's first trip to the beach. :-) Ella hated the sand, so she and Mommy spent a lot of time at the kiddie pool. We had a great time!

Cole's 1st baseball team - June 09

He looked so cute in first baseball uniform. I love this little guy!

Some cute pics

This was the beginning of the end of the baby's stroller...

Ella wasn't a fan of her floaties the 1st time around...

I can't believe how fast my sweet babies are growing up!

4 Year Old "Graduation" - 5/22/09

Jackson, Cole & Ryan

Cole looked so cute at his promotion ceremony from his 4 year old class with Ms. Audrey & Ms. Barbara.

Lauren's b-day

Dad took everyone to Abe's for Lauren's birthday. As you can see, Ella loved the ice cream cake. This was actually Henley's piece and when she got up, Ella climbed in her chair and started eating it. It was too cute!

Liz & Ryan's wedding weekend

Ryan, Liz & Lola

She sang to Ryan at the end of the reception!

Ryan!

Nikki, Rachel, Me & Amanda - love them so much!

Me & Jason

Nikki, Me, Sarah & Liz - I love these girls!

Me & Liz

Me & Nik

There are no better friends that my high school friends. We all have such a bond! We can go 2 days, 2 months or 2 years w/o seeing each other and can always pick up where we left off. We all know so much about each other and have seen each other through some pretty difficult times. We came together the weekend of April 24th for Liz and Ryan's wedding celebration. We started Friday night off at Sauces for the "rehearsal dinner" and then Saturday for the wedding celebration in Somerville at the Lucerne. Liz looked breathtaking and we all loved being there for her big day!

Field Trip!

In the mail truck

At the fire station

We had a wonderful field trip to the fire station and post office. Cole loves being with his friends! The firemen actually got a call while the kids were getting off the fire truck so we had to rush them inside. It was kind of scary to be there when that happened...nothing too big though -just a fender bender on Poplar.
