Honey, I think the tree is too big

I was so excited when we went to cut down out own tree. This year we found a great place that had acres and acres of trees to choose from. If you live in NJ and looking for a place, I highly recommend Shale Hills Farms. We had to cut off a foot because it wouldn't fit in the living room - I swear it looked much smaller outside.

This was taken the night before it toppled over (twice). Even so, I love my tree

V stepping (running) into his Dad's shoes

What a great way for C to spend his birthday, watching V run his first timed-mile race then for him to run himself. There is no doubt V will be able to keep pace with him in a year and take him over in a two :). He finished in 9:12.

S pretending to be V

V has sucked his thumb since he was a baby. I don't try to change that because I was a thumbsucker too. While he does, he usually holds his Stitch doll. This day, I turned around and found S pretending she was V. It was the funniest thing ever.

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.
