Sunny Days!


To say the weather has been fabulous the last week would be an understatement! We were able to enjoy the beach in February (which I love) with some friends and have pretty much spent most of the days outdoors!! Here are a few pictures from the beach and our backyard!





Admiring herself ;)


Tasting the sand- I thought we had grown out of that!


Tate was trying to say cheese, but still had sand in his mouth

Valentine Love

This is a peak into our Valentine 's Day preparations and celebrations... and if you lived nearby maybe you were the lucky recipient of a card or some goodies! (They were too bulky to mail this year) Either way we love you all!
Our little cupid!

Isle of Hope Preschool Circus


The 3 year olds at Maya's preschool preformed a Circus for all their parents! This was a big day for Maya, she was so excited for one about the circus, for two and probably the best part, her Daddy was coming to her school!!! The circus was "The Greatest Show on Earth" preformed by 3 year olds! :)  Maya's class sang and acted out "We're going on a bear hunt", the other classes we're elephants, ponies, and weightlifters, all the girls were tight rope walkers and all the boys were lions or tigers! Here are some of the links to the videos...

Sliding!!

Tate has figured out how to climb the wall and slide down the slide....by himself! SCARY for me but SUPER FUN for him! This was all happening Saturday while I was inside, Lee came in to tell me to come watch, here's a little or long video for you to watch.... and say, "shouldn't someone be standing near him climbing up that wall?" and the answer is YES!!!!!



Maya's little coat trick is something she learned at school from her friend Charlie- she thought it was the greatest trick ever when she first showed me, which was right when I picked her up from school in the hallway right outside her classroom!!!

Maya falls down (on purpose)....

Maya loves that Tate thinks it is absolutely hilarious when she "falls" down!
