Beach Pictures-Photo Shoot

Just when I thought life couldn't get any crazier, it did. The last 5 weeks have been nuts between life, living away from the house, getting the house fixed and the list could go on and on. Anyway, now that we are home, I'm determined to update the blog with what we've been up to.

I never got around to looking through the pictures from the beach of the kids until TODAY! I can't even believe it. They are so cute and while they are not perfect, they are such a reflection of these kiddo's personalities...Thomas was over the pictures before they began, Jane is a girly-girl who loves Thomas and the "babeee," and Henry's not sure what's going on but the sun was in his eyes.

 

More of our summer to come!

Happy Birthday, Thomas!

The night before Thomas's birthday, we were being silly with the camera. I had to get one last picture of Thomas as a three year old. He was so excited to turn four!

 

We had dinner on the Terrace on his actual birthday.

 

 

He got a set of real golf clubs for his birthday so we promised him that he could use them after dinner. One of the perks of having a golf course in our backyard these days.

 

Henry wanted to show off his new walking trick.

 

Ball!

 

On Saturday, we had Thomas's birthday party. It was a construction themed swim party. Thomas got to pick this year! It was super convenient since it was in our temporary backyard as well!

 

 

 

Nana and Papa came back in town for the little man's big day.

 

And "Gus Gus" with that belly...

 

So excited that Ms. Rebecca and Ms. Helene were there!

 

Chaos!

 

Cake time!

 

Thomas found a picture of this cake on Pinterest when we were looking at decorations. He said that he wanted me to make this for him. While I appreciate his confidence in my baking skills, I cheated a little. Bought a chocolate sheet cake and decorated it myself. To him it was all the same and he was so proud.

 

Lunchtime!

 

Even Annie came home for his party!

 

So dramatic.

 

My first born...how is he four? Tear.

 

BooBoo was there too!

 

These two babies are much bigger than this time last year!

 

All smiles!

Horse Show and Walking

Last Saturday night we went to the Germantown Charity Horse Show with the Campbells. They had a box this year and we had the best time! The boys loved watching the horses and Thomas had fun running around with Caroline and Dorothy.

 

 

Cheering on the horses and riders. I just love sunsuits and hats!

 

The kids ran in the stick horse race. Thomas was so excited about the race but got a little nervous once it started.

 

Daddy to the rescue! He and Thomas finished the race together. He was so proud after the race and loved showing off his ribbon. Everyone that ran got a ribbon, of course!

 

 

We went to visit some of the horses. This horse won the horse drawn carriage show just an hour later.

 

Last week, I took Henry and Thomas to Music for Aardvarks. This was Henry's first class. We took a break once Henry was born. Both boys had the best time.

 

 Do you see Henry's other fun news? He is officially walking - EVERYWHERE! And he only wants to do it by himself. He is so steady and pretty fast for a new walker.

 

Henry loves Mr. Joe.... and really wants to play with his guitar.

 

They started construction on the house yesterday. Roof was repaired and the new one on by the end of today. Amazing! We are ready to be home but grateful to have such a comfortable place to stay in the meantime.
