Whoohoo!

We got a new car!! I will have to take some more pics to show you but this one just one I snapped with my (also new) iPhone. (PS. LOVE THE iPHONE!!) And I also LOVE the CAR!! It's a fun little upgrade from my 2000 Honda Accord that I've been driving since college. Not to knock the Honda because she's still got a lot of life in her. I could have kept it but I got an itch for something new, and thanks to our tax refund.... voila! This is a 2011 VW Jetta Sportwagen. It's really fun to drive, still functional with kids, and as my sister-in-law would say, most importantly... it's NOT a minivan. I have to say, I still think the minivan is the way to go, but Ike needs a few more years of convincing. However, he felt this station wagon was perfectly acceptable so here we are. My favorite part is the bluetooth integration where I can use my phone, ipod, pandora, and anything else stored on my phone automatically through the cars sound system. It's synched up and as soon as I get in the car with my phone it automatically senses it and I don't have to do a thing. It's pretty cool. My second favorite part is the new car smell. :) Julianna said "Mommy, it smells so GOOD in here." We'll see how long it lasts. I am trying to keep smashed goldfish crackers off the floor for at least a week. I'll let you know how that goes.

Mini golfers

Where did it go??

My little sweeties.

Mason pretty much just walked around picking up balls and throwing them.

So, when we got home he had a private lesson.


Much better. Way to keep your eye on the ball, Mace!

He'll be playing with Dad in no time. :)

Worn Out

Having Daddy home for a FOUR day weekend must have been exhausting for this little guy. Too much fun. :)


I don't think he has ever fallen asleep in a random spot before. And I can count on 1 hand the number of times Julianna has ever done this. He must have really been worn out. Too cute!!

Hula Hooper

This has become one of Julianna's favorite outside activities. The one in these videos is old and has a big kink in the side so she got a new one for Valentine's Day. I can't wait to give it to her tomorrow, she's going to be so excited!!

A Walk to the Beach

Just a few pics to warm you all up on the East Coast! Last week we took a walk up the hill to the beach. I didn't even know that we had a beach access in our neighborhood. Honestly, living on base just keeps getting better and better. Here are some of my favorites from our walk.
Are these 2 cute or what?

Ok, ready to go.

My buddy.

Oh that smile kills me.

Walking down to the beach.

My kiddos.

There's that smile again. He's a stinker, don't let him fool you!

Sissy feeling the sand between her toes.

The boys.

Look what I found Daddy.

Shells!

My favorite 2 guys.

Yup, that's a coconut on the beach.

Pretty girl. She looks so old here. Where is the time going?

Back home and climbing trees like a monkey.

Cutie.

Time for the sun to go down.

One last climb up the playground. Mason is all smiles, Daddy looks nervous. He can climb that entire thing with no assistance.


I'm a big boy. :) Hope that warmed you up for a few minutes!
