Brody is now our little 4 year old

The cake and some monster bags for his friends!

Making Monster Smoothies!  Horns, Eyeballs, Claws, slimy spinach, and mashed up brains.  (The kids got so in to this, it was so hilarious!) 

Doing a Monster Cake Walk.

Meet our Monster Pinata.  (The first and last one I will ever make.)  *Malena--you said they were easy.  Argh.

A giant bucket of cheese balls from Cambridge, the boys always ask for these and I always so NO.  They were both super excited!!  Now they sit on the counter with a box of wipes right next to them.  YUCK.   

Viva Cancun

Brody and my mom had so much fun running away from the waves!  He is such a fun boy to play with, we love his personality, and think he is so so funny!

These Flamingos were GIANT.

You have to admit Octopus are really cool and kind of gross at the same time

Aquarium at Xcaret.

The Boys had too much fun with their Cousins, and miss playing with them so much.  :(

Gangnam Style Dance Woot Woot the boys loved it!

My boys both hated the sand, and getting dirty.  SAREN doesn't mind at all, in fact I think she loves it!!  Why? Why? Why?  But, I have to admit it is kind of nice too!  Sure makes beach days a little easier!  Saren LOVED the water too, she is such a little fish.  Ryan even dunks her under the water and she just laughs.  So unlike my boys.  She even puts her face in all by herself and thinks it is the funniest thing, kind of freaks me out.

Just Chillin

TOO FUNNY: The boys were showing us their super cool tricks after a seriously cool variety show we went to one night, there are some way freaky talented people in the world.

Gorgeous View--Oh how I miss it.

Ryan golfing with the Crocs!

The boys playing golf--they had so much fun together!!!  So glad they got to do this together.  Ryan said he had so much fun, I wish they lived closer so they could all go more often.  Good looking Chaps!

Me on my first mechanical bull--it was fun, and way scarier than I thought it would be.  17 seconds I think.  Almost everyone in the family had a turn or two, I was really impressed with my sister and her husband, they held on for the longest time!  Hmmm what does that say about them?

The boys playing us some sweet tunes, they are so fun to travel with and take such delight in all the little things!  I can't believe it is over, the week just flew by, and I can't wait to go back.  I could have used another few days on the beach.  Also: Not pictured, Cambridge kissed a dolphin, and would LOVE to tell you all about it, he had so much fun!!!  The boys also got to hold: a monkey, iguana, turtle, and parrots.

Our baby girl is 1

It is sad but true our baby girl is one year old. Time flies by way too quickly, but we love her more and more everyday!  She is the *sweetest little baby girl and loves to cuddle and wave.  (*Unless a stranger tries to hold her or talk to her.)  She adores her brothers, except when they make her cry.  They love to push her in the jogger stroller and she goes between waving at everything, to holding on while her brothers get seriously CRAZY with tipping her back or pushing her down the drive way all by herself, and one of them trying to catch her.  She of course, LOVES it, even though I put a stop to it every time I catch them.  

I ADORE HER CURLY HAIR!  I hope it never goes away.  I love styling her every day, why did I wait so long to have a girl?  She also loves swimming, books, treats, and her daddy!  She loves her new found freedom of crawling all over the place.  Surprisingly, it hasn't caused too much trouble yet.  She finally got her first tooth, and I think a second one is just starting to poke through.  Still refuses to stand, I think she likes to be held too much.  She is just starting to revolt all the bows I put in her hair, she just yanks it right out, and hands it to me with a big smile like she is all proud of herself.  It drives me crazy, I just really think a girl should have her bow in if she is going to leave the house, but so far we have lost one bow, and one shoe, so I have to try to weigh if it is worth it or not every day.

Saren got two TUTU cakes this year, one for smashing, and one for us to eat!  It was so much to fun to make them.  I have a new love for pink!
