Point Pleasant - sand ewww

Many know I would rather be at a pool than the beach but I was convinced to go to the beach. S refused to go in the water but she spent the whole time digging and moving sand from one end to the other. The boys loved the waves. I just loved watching them ... would have been better without all that sand ;)

Hacklebarney State Park

The kids had a blast, walking through water and climb up the rocks. We even found a small water fall.

Too cute to eat

I had made these before for a friend's babyshower but I forgot to take a picture of them. These were made for my neighbor, she was throwing a babyshower for her friend. I love them, and I thank Bakerella for coming up with such cute ideas.

Mom I can whistle now

V lost his first tooth at camp, unfortunately he swallowed it. I am not sure who was more upset, me or him.

Clouds

New Year already?

I promised last year that would try to take a picture a day and while I started strong, I ended up with my last post in November 2009. What happened? I figured it is like how millions of Americans promise they would diet and lose weight right after New Year's. And how the gyms are packed to capacity and there is a waiting list just to run on the treadmill. Well, we all start off strong with great hopes to finish the end of the year with the same enthusiasm but tend to falter a little. I won't say 'fail' because that is a little harsh, and I know we all try. Like I tell my kids, it doesn't matter if you win, you just have to try your hardest. So this year, I will try my hardest and instead of a strict goal of trying to post a picture everyday, I'll say once a month.

Hopefully that is more realistic. At least have 21 more days to post a picture for this month.

A bridal shower.

My sister was the bridesmaid for her coworkers wedding, so she threw the bridal shower and I helped. We had yummy memosas and of course these oreo truffle pops.
