Cousins

A few weeks ago, my sister and her family packed up and moved to California. My brother-in-law had a great job opportunity offered to him. So the Brown's are now on a new adventure. Here are some of my favorite recent pictures of Sydney-8, Jaeden-7, Xavier-6, and Jaclyn- almost 5.

We miss and love you guys!!

Best of luck, Stacey, Troy, Sydney & Xavier!!!!

Hodge Podge

Since I have been so behind in blogging, I thought I would do a hodge podge post of some of my favorite photos I have taken lately.

Vacation- The Beach... Finally!

Since it was a chilly 43 degrees when I got up this morning, I figured I would finally post some photos from our trip to Wildwood and Ocean City this summer. Here is a mere drop in the bucket of the hundreds of photos I took while we were in New Jersey. Who knew that they had such amazing beaches and food! To say that we had an amazing time would be an understatement. The gorgeous scenery and even better company was just what we needed this summer.

I Heart Faces photo Challenge

I am always up for a new reason to take photos. So I joined the I Heart Faces weekly photo challenge. This weeks theme is Friendship.

Take me out to the ball game.... Vacation Part 1

We just returned from another amazing vacation with our dear, dear friends Kris and Jen. We look forward to our summer visits to New York and the adventures that follow. This year we went to a Minor League baseball game for the Tri-City Valley Cats. What a fun night it was! A bride and groom whom were married threw out the first pitch-- still in their wedding attire! Siobhan from American Idol sang the National Anthem. The kids loved the ball park food, cheering for the mascot Southpaw and running the bases after the game.

Ready for the game to start

Bella trying to get Southpaw to come see her.

MMMMmmm... Dippin Dots

And Hot Dogs...

And Kettle Corn!

Southpaw

Jaclyn really is a dirt princess- even on a baseball field.

Heading Home after running the bases.

We spent an afternoon around the house playing slip n slide

and nerf wars too!

Can't forget who the biggest kid around is...

Every year since Kris and Jen have put in their play structure we have taken a photo of all the kids on it. This is the third year! We had their new dog Tyson in it this year too.

More to come on our trip to the Drive Thru Safari and the Beach!!
