I'm Dreaming of a Tidey Christmas...

Christmas #1 was a success!  We spent time with family, walked to the creek, admired the giant Tidey tree, opened presents, and even took a trip to the hospital.  Quite the day!  

the BIG tree. a Tidey Christmas tradition.

one of the only ways to get her to look at the camera these days is to ask her to do a monster face.  she's going to regret it in about 12 years.

what you get when you ask her to say 'cheese!' 

Turkey Day Excitement

Shes got spirit, yes she does, She's got spirit....

...and little Summer just watches and learns. I don't know what scares me more - her spirit or that Summer is already copying her.

i thought this was funny, like from a movie love scene

yes, this really happened. remember that spirit i was talking about?

october, halloween and seashore

I don't know where I've been, but I haven't been posting pictures! Here are some to catch up on what we've been doing:

Off to Never Never Land!

Smee, Tinkerbell, Peter Pan and Captain Hook!

If looks could kill...

Birthday Time!

No, not my kids birthday, but I love him like my own, so we celebrated it in high style! Milkshakes in the morning, chick-fil-a playground, and a pumpkin patch! Happy 3rd Birthday Jaybo! Aunt Bear loves you!!

Hey there, goat!

Well, if you won't smile for the camera, give me your silliest face!

Dear Jenn, I fully understand that Summers ability to grow a mullet comes directly from my joking you about your 2 year old mullet. Hello, Karma.

Did you know that 3 year olds are strong enough to push tractor tires? At least this 3 year old is!!

Goal: More Pictures

it's safe to say I haven't been taking many pictures lately. that's gonna change. we are moved in. no more excuses! here are the shots I took of kate's first day of school this year.

picking crabs and pirate ships

yup, that's what summer boils down to for us in virginia beach :)

Take Me Out To The Ball Game!

kate was counting chairs. summer was trying to run away. that right there is the difference in my two girls!

not only does she try to escape, she's perfected the stare down!

what's a Fine trip to the ball park without ice cream?

baby's first ice cream cone was a success. kate doesn't look too enthralled with her ice cream. don't get me wrong, she liked it, but she had never seen a screen as big as the "jumbo-tron" before. zombie.

cheesing it up

We've been a little busy...

Sorry for the lack of posts! We are in the thick of readying our new house for the big move! Thus, not many pictures have been taken. Mike managed to snap these the other day though...

Doesn't everyone do dishes in the nude???

Not quite walking, but LOVES the push toy

Everyone should have a Mimac!

Some of my friends ask if they can borrow Mimac. She's pretty awesome, we are lucky to have her!!!

JUST STOP GROWING!

this is probably my favorite picture from Summer's first few weeks. man, they aren't kidding when they say that time flies. this feels like it was just a few weeks ago. makes me want to freeze time!

my how time flies!

can you believe this sweet face will be a year old in 2 days?!?!?!

Happy 4th!

Hope everyone had a good 4th of July! Ours was filled with friends, family, parades, pools and beaches!
