Yes to VBS

The four big cousins went to VBS and the mommies to the littles to Old Town. Win-win! 

More beach

I cannot stop...all the pictures are my favorite.

Beach Cousins

Just a few pictures of the cousins at the beach. We had so much fun!

Little Mister

Loved squeezing this precious guy!  Cannot get enough of him!

And Mary liked to snuggle Clover. She has been looking for her since she left.

Pooltime

The boys ( and little miss) are loving the pool this summer. It is especially fun with friends (and the promise of cake).

Loved celebrating with this cutie.  My kids adore her and get really sad to think they are moving soon.  

 Pink birthday! The boys were super excited about the Elsa and Anna plates. 

You are so cool! Mary loves to follow this sweet girl around.

Meanwhile she did not want to share this toy. Sorry Will!

Cuties!

Friday Flashback

These four kiddos in 2010(I think) and now.  Such sweethearts!

So happy to spend a birthday with one of our favorite dudes. How are these boys 7?

And no party is complete without my boys crazy poses.  It makes a mother proud.

We'll be lucky to be invited back. Just kidding. I hope.

Goggles go with Everything!

My little fashionista. She finds these every morning.

Camping or Glamping?

We went cabin camping for the first time last weekend.  So much fun! 

Highlights include

*Campfire stories about George Washington fighting the redcoats with his lightsabers.

*Cooking our meals over an open fire. Nothing smells better then sausage and coffee on a cool morning.

*swimming in a heated pool. My water babies love to be in the water.

*boys telling me about how fast they went on a zip line.

*eating lots of junk food and s'mores

*spending a weekend away from the hustle and bustle...priceless

I went with James on the "jumping pillow". Between that and letting him eat unlimited chocolate hostess treats , my super- mom status is intact.

Now to plan our next adventure!

Happy Birthday!

Today James turns 7!  I almost cried as we sang him happy birthday this morning. How is he 7?

Love my sweet and spunky guy!

Who wants a cupcake?

My girls weekend trip to NYC was really an eating tour of the Big Apple. Cupcakes? Yes please! Eclairs and Cannolis from Little Italy? Of corse. Pizza and chocolate themed restaurants? Yes, yes yes! Thank goodness we walked everywhere or I may have come home with more then just Statue of Liberty gifts for the kids.

So much fun and so many memories made! The only question remaining is where to in 2016?
