Folly Beach: Day 2

Just the three of us...Day 2!

Just the 3 of us spent another perfect day at the beach.

More blue skies and sunshine were just what we needed!!!

Owen and I tested out the water and decided that it was very cold!!

Owen chased daddy and Cooper down the beach!

He loved running around the beach!

We walked down to the pier to see what else we could see!

Owen, daddy and Uncle Brandon went fishing on the pier!

Too bad the fishies weren't hungry : (

Owen loved spending time with Brandon!

Just the 3 and 1/2 of us!!!

This face says it all!!! Family vacations are soooooo much fun!

If you like Pina Coladas...

O-man certainly likes frozen drinks! Good thing all my drinks are sans alcohol now! He loves these delicious frozen treats. Who can blame him?

There's nothing better than a frozen drink after a fun day at the beach!

Party Owen! He loved the music at the bar: ) Slurp!! All done!! As tasty as these drinks were I am looking forward to a grown up one...soon very soon!

Folly Beach Vacation : Day one

Ahhhh the beach!!

We picked a perfect week for the beach...75 degrees and nothing but blue skies.

It was so good to get away from the day to day stuff and enjoy our little family.

We needed to get away...just the 3 of us one last time.

Just the 3 of us was the theme of this weekend!

It's hard to believe that our just the 3 of us time is quickly coming to an end and soon it will be just the 4 of us.

But for this vacation it was just the 3 of us...and it was perfect!

Owen couldn't wait to get in the pool!!!! he shouted...

"Owen swim! Owen Swim!"

Boy oh boy did he swim!!! He wasn't scared, he wasn't timid, he jumped right in!!

He splashed and he laughed for over an hour in the extremely cold pool!!!

He didn't care because he was having fun!!!

This was my view from my chair where I happily sat and relaxed.

Watching my boys play in the pool!!

Just the 3 of us laughing and having a great time!!Owen was a frozen popsicle when he got out of the pool!

Teeth Chattering, cold skin, and wet clothes... he didn't care!

He was having fun!After they both warmed up it was snack time!!

Owen thought it was a good time to get some sun : )

After snack Owen said "I play sandbox!" That's what Owen called the beach : )

Just the three of went to to the beach to play in the sand!Owen showed us his Karate Kid moves on the beach!!!He even picked up seashells on the beach! Even though it was just the 3 of us time... we made time to see some family! Owen's Uncle Brian joined us for lunch! After lunch we cleaned up to drive into Charleston to play at the battery. Just the 3 of us...just like last year!(Click here to see photos from 2009) So much fun...just the 3 of us!

A boy and his bike

A boy and his first bike is truly a special thing!!! I had no idea how much Owen would love his bike but he does. Every time we go downstairs, sometimes first thing in the morning, and any time we enter the garage I hear "Ride my bike!" I think he would sleep with it in his bed if we would let him. This bike is very special because he went to the store with his great grandmother and picked it out himself. I didn't even know he could pedal one!!!! But he can and he's really good at it. He loves to ride it to the neighborhood playground. I'm truly amazed at how much he can do at 2.5 years old!!! My little baby is growing up and riding a bike!

Boy Stuff

While mommy was at her baby shower the boys loaded up and headed to VA to go to one of my favorite places!!! Owen had so much fun on the farm seeing the cows, horses, dogs, cats, and donkeys! When he got home he told me all about feeding the donkey and keeping his hand flat. He told me about the horsey but most of all he told me about the cows! As a matter of fact he couldn't wait to tell me that "Cows Poop!!" He thought that was sooooooo funny! I thought it was pretty funny too : ) Even though I had a wonderful afternoon at my baby shower part of me was sad that I missed a fun day on the farm too.

Oh Boy!!

Oh Boy! We had a fantastic celebtation for Baby H and he received a lot of wonderful gifts!! This shower was extra special because I got to share it with my friend Andrea who is due with her baby the week before baby H. It's been so nice to have someone to go through this pregnancy with! I can't wait to see our 2 little guys together!

You make me smile : ) Friday

Owen,

You really make me smile and laugh everyday!!! You and your silly ways! Your fashion choices....

Your big boy ways....

Your funny faces....

Easter Sunday

Easter was so much fun this year!!! Owen woke up to find that the Easter bunny had left a trail of eggs to his Easter basket!! He was so excited to pick up the eggs!!

Here's Owen following the trail of Easter Eggs

More Easter Bunny treats Woo-hoo Easter basket goodies!

After all the Easter basket fun we dyed Easter Eggs. It was messy but fun!!

It was such a beautiful day that we blew up the plastic pools and Owen splish-splashed all afternoon!

We ended Easter day with one last egg hunt in the backyard!

Owen found some "beans" in this egg and took a break to eat!
