Cutest video...EVER!

Homemade OREOS!

Taija is my new little helper in the kitchen...she LOVES to make cookies. We made some homemade oreos the other day to take to one of my visiting teaching sisters who had a birthday.

Playing at the Beach...TWICE in a week

Last week we were able to go to the beach...TWICE! On Wednesday we went to the beach with some friends from church. Taija had so much fun playing with Ella and Emma. Justin was at work, so I was very hesitant to drag both kids out to Pompano Beach, but Krista (who recently moved here) agreed to tag along to help. Good thing too! Taija wanted to be in the water at all times, but Luke had to hang out in his pack-n-play.




On Saturday Daddy got to come with us! Yay!



Daniel and Krista joined us for this trip too!

Luke and Taija

Just some cute pics of the kiddos being silly...
Luke's favorite game of throwing the shoes!


After swimming one day...she wanted to keep her little jacket on and insisted the hood be on!

Partay!!

Last week one of Taija's BFFs had a birthday party! Taija was so excited to go and would ask each day if it was Saturday and time for Ella's party. FINALLY the day came!
We went swimming!


Daddy decided to style Luke's hair...

And played games...pin the tail on the fish, magnet fishing, and a few more!

And last, but not least cake and singing!

MaMa's Visit

Last week we were very lucky to have Justin's Grandma come visit us...Mama stayed for just over a week. It was fabulous, especially since I left for 5 days to officiate a volleyball tournament in Atlanta. You wouldn't believe that she is over 80 yrs old....she took us shopping, tended the kids during Justin's orientation (with just a bit of help from some of Taija's friends), played with the kiddos, helped pick up the house and much much more. Thanks Mama for such a wonderful visit! I am glad that Taija and Luke were able to get to know their Great Grandma!


Mama took the kids to the Disney Store and the mall and Taija picked out these jammies...she LOVES them!

Daddy picked out Mater for Luke
