More Vaca pics and moving on up...

Poor Moo. She really was a fussy baby much of the time but we didn't let that get us down. We think she is teething since she definitely has showed all the signs. The other big thing with her is on Friday she pulled herself up on Jacob of course while I was showering so didn't get to see it. But she did it again later for me. :)


Emmi loved going swimming. Jacob would take her out just past the crashing waves and let her float.
We had dug a deep hole for Emmi to play in.

The place

Here are some pics of the beach and area.... It was the best vacation ever and we will definitely be doing it again next year.
Some days the waves were pretty big.
Here is one of the many beautiful sunrises.
The moon over the next houses over.
Here was one of a couple of fishing boats that were off shore.
You may have to make this picture bigger but these are the dolphins that we saw on a few days.
Here is our beach.

The Island is near Camp Lejeune so we got to see plenty of helicopters and fighter jets flying above.

Shark Teeth vs Moo Teeth

We are on vacation living it up and having a blast. Our place is right on the water which is perfect. We spend all day on the beach just playing and exploring. There is no one around so we own the beach or at least it feels it and it is also super dog friendly so Kona just hangs out with us. We search for Shark Teeth on the shore along with some sea glass. While we have been at it Moo also got a 3rd tooth. I am also now married to the ocean since it decided to claim Jacob's ring this morning when he got hit by a wave. Here are some pics from our vacation.

Boo Boos, Moo Moo, and Boo Hoo

What is with band-aids. Emmi is obsessed. As you can see she doesn't wear just one but at least 16 on one leg and not due to any injuries. We don't give them to her she just gets them herself. She scales the shelves in the bathroom closet to grab a box or 3. Then puts them all on. This is of course when she is suppose to be napping or when she first wakes up from said nap. Looks like we will be getting one of those door knob child lock things.

She has also gotten into puzzles lately. We have 3 that she keeps just taking apart and putting together all on her own. Very cool to watch.

Here is Moo. She is very talkative now by saying Da Da Da over and over as well as many other sounds. In looking back as to what Emmi was doing at this age they are so different. You think because you have one child especially of the same sex you know how it will go. Well not in this house. Emmi was crawling everywhere while Marli is perfectly happy just sitting. I think she will crawl soon though as she has been making some of the moves.


Then on a sad note Jacob's sister in law lost her battle to leukemia. Jacob went to Indiana at the end of last week to be with Ryan and his family for the services. Here is a picture of their kids which are just a few months older than each of mine. Our hearts go out to them.

Awesome Weekend

Busy busy weekend. We ran in a 5K at just over 30 minutes where Jacob ended up pushing both kids followed by doing one of his CrossFit workouts as a fund raiser for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Wounded Warrior Project, and the CrossFit Foundation. He said if he raised over $1000 he would do the 5K and workout in a TuTu. Thanks to everyone who donated as he met his goal although you can still donate so click here if you want to give to the cause.
Moo did great since she napped in the stroller. She hung out while Emmi took photos and I video taped the day.
Then we went with our neighbors to see Thomas the Train in Spencer NC. We don't have all the Thomas the trains or tracks but Emmi has a few trains and enjoyed it just the same.
Here she is ready for the ride.
Here is Moo and I.
They also had other things for the kids to do like a bouncy house and here they were playing mini golf.

It was a nice morning as it was in the high 60's. Unfortunately the rains came at the end of our visit so we had to set up camp for our picnic but it worked out great.
It is weekends like this that you just dont want to end.

Good Morning

This is what the kids were up to this morning. Although Emmi asked us first this time, "Can I go see Marli Yes or No?". Yes or No at the end of her questions is pretty much how all her questions go, I wonder where she heard that one. :)

Then while Jacob hit the links we went to Woj's to play with the boys as that is what Emmi said she wanted to do today.

They were all great with Marli as they took turns pushing her. Tyler was first but I didnt get my camera out in time so here is Benjamin.
Then Emmi.
