Beach and Pool Time

This is how we roll!!!!

swim Reese, swim!!!

WHOA Dada!!

Think Joe had more fun with that than Reese!!

kisses for being such a big girl!!!

A Little Bit of fun for the Grown-ups!!

At night, after lots of pool and beach playtime for the kids, we would head to the Beau Rivage for a little grown-up play time!! They have an awesome arcade that the kids loved and an ice cream shop right outside the arcade! The kids would play ski ball ALL night long if we let them, although, we figured out, their favorite part was putting the quarters in the machine to get the game going. Reese would walk around to all the machines and just put quarters in and walk off.....it's the simple things, right??

We would take turns watching the kids......this just so happened to be mine and Kristen's turn!

This was our last night there. We were at the Hard Rock letting the kids run around see all the fun stuff. They have a Ben and Jerry's shop that the kids also loved very much.....if you look closely, I think Reese has more Raspberry Sorbet on her dress than she does in her tummy!!

Ice Cream

On Friday, Joe and I met some friends for dinner to have pizza. Afterwards, we took the kiddos for ice cream. It's amazing how happy ice cream can make kids (although, if you look closely, Charlie opted for M&M's.....he's not much of an ice cream fan -- strange, I know!!)

My Little Ballerina

Reese starts dance very soon. Mom and I took her to get her first ballet and tap shoes on Saturday (oh, how much fun we had with this!!). She got white tap shoes and pink ballet slippers. She also got to pick out another leotard (pink of course!) and little pink tights.....words can't describe how cute she is going to look......more pics to come!!

not so sure about this at first......

there's a smile!!

now onto the tap shoes

these were her favorite......she loves the sound!

21 months!

Please slow down Charlie man.....you are getting so big, so fast! Looking at these picturese makes me realize how big he really is getting. He doesn't even look like a baby anymore. He has to be one of the funniest little kids around and amazes Joe and I at how smart he is. Never, and I mean never, a dull moment with this little firecracker. I love it and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Charlie man, love you sweet baby boy!!

Disney World!!!

We are going to Disney World! Yayyyyy! We have booked our hotel and made all our dinner "character dining" reservations! I'm not sure who's more excited.....the kids, or me and Joe! We are going the Monday after Thanksgiving and it can't get here fast enough!!!! Oh the cute Disney outfits.....someone is going to have to stop me!!!!!!

Playtime!!

We went to an indoor playground today and the kids had a blast. I'll do anything to stay outta the 100 degree heat!!

Charlie is cutting his 2yr molars and walks around with his fingers in his mouth CONSTANTLY....my germ-o-meter is in overload! You should see me chasing him around trying to keep his hands clean......exhausting.

Reese and Adelaide stopping for a picture!

After they played and played, we took them to McDonald's to have lunch. This particular McDonald's had an indoor playground, so they played some more! Is it necessary to say they will take a good nap today??!!!??!!!
