TOTing

The kids went out TOTing. Emmi had a blast running up to all the houses. Every time she would come back to us she would say, "Mommy I got candy!". It was too cute. Griffin was afraid of any house with ghosts, goblins, or skeletons but not Emmi.

Marli was along for the ride in the wagon.

Here is Marli as the pumpkin.

She definitely didn't let it stop her from getting places.

Swipper the swipper, aka Moo, swipped the wand when Emmi put it down.

Here is Emmi's costume as the Lady Bug Butterfly Fairy Princess right before school last Thursday that I took with my phone. I made the tutu & wings while Jacob crafted the wand.

The Patch & The Aeroport

Last weekend we went to the pumpkin patch. We went to the one closest to our house since we didn't have tons of time to hit our favorite one.




Then this weekend was all about fitness. We ran in a 5k at the airport. It was very chilly to start but warmed up a bit. Once we were done we headed over to CrossFit for Emmi to take part in Xfit for kids. She had fun so I think we may have her go to that for a while. As a side note while there we weighed ourselves. Emmi is now 35lbs and Moo is 21 lbs. All a healthy bunch. I am psyched that I am now 6lbs less than when I got pregnant for Marli. Gotta love the Breastfeeding diet although this week I am going to get more serious about regular exercise to help with my overall zen.
Moo all bundled up.

Here is Emmi & Grif on a plane ride, they had a mini plane that the kids could go on plane rides.
Best Friends Forever.
This is a plane flying over the one they went for a ride on.

And she is off......

That is right at 8 months or 35 weeks old. Moo started crawling at the end of last week. She will pretty much go anywhere and everywhere. It is just an army crawl right now but she definitely knows how to work it.
Sizing up Kona, should she go in for the attack....
Nah go right for the cheesy smile.
Hmmmm now where????

Yo Gabba Gabba

A busy Sunday, from my friend Mel's wedding then on to Yo Gabba Gabba with the kids and our neighbors. Now if you have never seen Yo Gabba Gabba click here let it load and you can see what it is all about. Or tune in to Nick Jr. This show was way better than when we went to see Elmo a year or so ago.

Here they are ready for the big show.
Here are Toodee, Foofa, DJ Lance Rock, Muno, Brobee, and Plex
The kids loved it and were dancing pretty much from the start.
Even Marli loved it. Jacob also had fun with his Dj Lance glasses on.

Biz Markie also made an appearance for his Biz's Beat of the day.

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.
