Summer Pix

So far we've had a really awesome summer! Kai still attends school 2 days a week (she will soon jump to 3 days), we've had tons of fun at the YMCA, swimming, playing in the mister and hose, park visits to play and feed the fish, dancing, reading, playdates & snuggle time. Ready for a good laugh! Well, one of our favorite daily activities is playing DRESS UP. Every once in awhile we get the bright idea to dress little man up too! He thinks it's hilarious (Daddy - well, not so much) and there probably won't be much more of it so we better post a pic while we can still laugh about it!

Yes, Kohlston is crackin up! If he only knew his big sis put him in a ballerina outfit! Kohlston says "What, what are you looking at"?
"Is there something wrong"?
Daddy loves to make us milkshakes in the morning full of tons of organic milk and fresh fruit! Here's Kai before school one morning gulping it down :)
Wild man runs the house while his sister is away for the day. He loves his one on one time with Mommy :) We spend a lot of time snuggling, playing and laughing!
We usually take a dip in the pool every evening and then a quick bath in the hose on the pool deck (perfect during the summer, right). Here's Princess Blue Eyes trying to wind down afterward!
Kohlston rocking his hair! It's the BEST :)
This little guy loves to giggle! Sometimes when we're out and about he will overhear a group of people laughing and he'll chime in with his cute little giggle just as if he's part of their conversation. It's hilarious!!!
Last week we headed to Walls Springs with Mamaw Dorthy to feed the fish and play on the playground. These swings are the best! Poor little Kohlston could barely see over the top but he loved every minute of it!
Oh! I forgot to post that Kohlston is finally starting to talk :) He says Mamma & Dadda and if we ask him what a cow says he will say "Moooooo" (we stop everyday on the way home from the gym to see the cows - the kids luv it). He also mocks Cuba when he starts barking. I'll try to get it on video. He's just adorable!!
Here's the little lady showing off on the big girl swing!
Hope everyone is enjoying their SUMMER FUN! We are :)

We love PLAYDATES!

Kohlston had a slight case of pink eye with a little cold to top it off last week but he's going strong now so today we headed to the YMCA so Mommy & our friend Katie could work out while Kohlston & I played with Baillie and Addison in the kids zone (which we LOVE)! Afterword they came over for a little playtime & lunch. We played dress up (see below) and enjoyed PB&J's, fresh strawberry's and pineapple! It was such a great time and we can't wait to get together again.

Kai & Bree :)

Kai & Bree are two little blonde best friends that started Longleaf Learning Center on the same day and ironically both only attend 2 days a week! From the moment they met they were inseparable and talk about each other non stop :) We had our first playdate outside of school last Wed.! Kai and Brianna got together to swim, swing, play in the sand box, watch cartoons together, play with all of Bree's toys & even shared goldfish and fresh fruit! Today Bree brought this adorable best friends magnet with our picture as a gift! I LOVE IT - thx Brianna! Can't wait until next Wed.! ox

Longboat Key - July 4th!

We took our beautiful little daughter to Longboat Key for July 4th weekend and enjoyed every waking moment with her :) Gigi T & Peepaw were generous and spent the weekend with Kohlston and Kooba (thx;). Here are a ton of pictures from our fabulous vacation together (once you start to scroll down you'll see why it's taken me a few weeks to get these posted). We bumped into a professional photographer who snapped a quick family pic with our camera.
Kai & Mommy getting ready for lunch at our hotel on the beach.

This is the most beautiful pose! She had no idea we were taking a picture. Kai was mesmerized by the beautiful water :)
The sky was amazing!
Daddy/Daughter kiss :)
Simply beautiful!
The storm is rolling in!
So we headed to Mote Marina Aquarium and enjoyed the sharks, fish, dolphins, sting rays, manatees and much more!
Watch out Keeks!
Do you dare? Well, Daddy touched the sting rays while Mommy & Kailey watched :)
We thought these lily pads were so pretty!
Hello there buddy!
Mote was awesome! Glad we went :) We headed to lunch (it's still raining but we made the best of it). We watched all of the speed boats drive by on their way out to the boat race - pretty cool!
Tired, full and headed back to our hotel to hang out in the pool and at the beach!
Mommy/Daughter KISS :)
Daddy started digging this HUGE hole which I had so much fun playing in.
Mommy relaxing on the beach! Awwwww.....Well what do yah say we call it a day???? Maybe not for good but this girl needs a nap!
Out like a light (with pink and Ariel)!
Still snoozing!!
I'll wake up for Ben & Jerry's ICE CREAM! I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream :) Kai loved that song and we sang it the whole way there - hah!
Back to the beach :)
My nap did we well because I'm SMILING again!

Whoa! Where the heck did that come from?????
NO FEAR!


Well, maybe a little fear - lol!
Daddy's favorite pose! I'm almost too big :(
BEAUTY! It's wonderful to be with family :)
Time for fireworks on the beach!!! Kai did sparklers for the very first time!

Our last morning stroll on the beach to find shells (with a light sprinkle).
