Ok. So on December 2nd, we celebrated Libby and Jake's 3rd birthday! YIPPPPEEEE!!!! We really made it three years! Boy, did time fly! We had pizza and cake. Simple. Nice. This year they shared a Dora/Boots and Diego/Baby Jaguar cake, although we do sing twice. Once for each of them so they could each blow out the candles. Happy Birthday kiddo's!

Halloween Fun!

This year we went to a couple pumpkin patches (Soergels and Cox Farms). Some of these pictures are from Hartwood Acres Hayday. We dressed all of the kids in their costumes twice, once for a party and again for the big-day.

Bye Bye Birdie

We went to the Aviary today, thanks to Aunt Kiki's co-worker giving us free passes. We had a blast seeing all of the birds and the new penguin exhibit. Our favorite part was feeding the Lories. The Aviary was pretty much empty so Dad was VERY surprised how quickly they jumped on his arms when he walked in with the nectar. We also saw the Wetlands afternoon feeding which was pretty exciting.

Sand and Sun 2009

This summer we went to the beach with 5 other families. We packed up and headed to Sandbridge, Virginia. We had a blast!

We bought Lib and J hermit crabs. They carried them on their lap the car ride home!

Aunt Kiki and Uncle Buck's

On Sunday we went to visit my sister and her hubby, Aunt Kiki and Uncle Buck (Christy and Al). We had a nice dinner then her neighber called and invited us to their house up the street. Their backyard is filled with fun things to do; a swingset, a trampoline, a tire swing and a small pond with fish. The kids all had a blast playing while we relaxed a bit.

Park Hopping--it's the life!

The other day we went to the park and took some pictures of the kids playing. They all LOVE the swing and would stay swinging for hours at a time.

Pirates Game Tailgate

Today was a surprise party for Uncle Mike's upcoming 40th Birthday! We had a blast celebrating. We had a great tail gate party with a bunch of friends and family.
