Beach days!!!

Florida vacay-- the only way to start is at the beach!

Callan LOVED the ocean -- like almost died in every wave-- had no fear kind of love.

Uncle Josh

We sure love uncle josh- he and Emmy are best friends ;)

Josh is going to be Emmy for Halloween... and another HUGE catfish!

Lazy Sunday at the lake-

Ahhhh it's just so nice to be back in Florida

Callan was so livid that Jason wouldn't let him jump off the dock and drown.

it was tragic ;)

I can't stand his cuteness.

still no teeth...

a selfie on the dock- I figured that since my FB profile had a pic of my pregnant with Callahan~ it was time for a new one.

we sure love our Uncle Josh

Life without daddy

little best friends
*we have craft time and one of them is putting these fun stickers on balloons-- they decided that the stickers are better than face paint00 I AGREE-- the clean up was super easy and it was way better looking than any face painting I do ;)

The moment

There is a magical moment in time; when a baby is mobile enough to be happy- but not enough to be a crazy danger to himself... We have passed that moment.

little climbing boy-- crazy crazy boy

yes-- he can climb onto the bed-- awesome.  Sadly- he can't climb down.

Labor Day

It was a fun day- we spent a lot of it outside- swimming- exploring- catching bugs and looking for treasure- we also had a photo shoot- pics to come- we also joined in our new favorite past time playing hi ho cherry oh and chutes and ladders-- the girls LOVE it! Jason got home abt 6:30 -- and we had a delicious dinner and played!

Daddy catching butterflies

sunning and catching butterflies.

fun times

The giant

Callahan loves the girls' princess castle- it makes me think of a giant attacking a castle- he rips off the pennants and throws them- and then grabs every princess from where she was lovingly set up ~eats her and then tosses her away- I love it.

the before and after-- as Emmy always says- "he destroyed it"
