Aunt Lydia, Aunt Carrie, Lina, and Belle

On the 22nd Aunt Lydia, Carrie, and cousins Lina and Belle came down for a visit.
We headed to the beach to meet some friends of Lydia and it was chilly and Very windy. The seagulls were also out in full force and stole a sandwich from Carrie.

Toby all enclosed to keep him from the sun.

We put Mya and Lina in this cage and they couldn't go running off. It was the best thing ever! Derek's parents used this when he was little.

Sweet little girls:)

Wednesday we headed to the zoo. It was a beautiful day!

As Mya was walking on these she would tell us how dangerous they were. Like her crazy outfit?

Petting the goats.

Here Lina i'll get you wet.

Feeding the giraff

Toby like the zoo

Oh the joy of being 2.

Derek caught his first fish in our pond.

If you ever think it would be a good idea to take 4 children under the age of 3 to IKEA when they really should be in bed...it isn't!

Thursday we headed to the pool. It wasn't the warmest but that didn't stop them from swimming. Thanks Lydia for being the brave one to go in with Mya and Lina.

All 4 of them together.

Gramma D

On the 17 Mya, Toby and I (Kristen) drove to Orlando to get Gramma D who was there for some training for work and then she spent the rest of the weekend with us.

Chow time!

We made a quick stop at Downtown Disney on the way home!

Chillin with Mr Potato head

We also went to the Holy Land. It is a park that has different parts of the Bible set up.
Noah's Ark

Jonah and the whale

Mya was telling Zacheus, "You come down!"

Toby's first time on a swing, he enjoyed it!

Fun times with Gramma D:)

Getting ready to see the Manitees (as I was putting this picture up Mya goes, OH what a sweet little boy!)

Looking for the Manatees

We love you Gramma D! (Notice Mya's new Glass slippers from Gramma D)

Laughing

Having fun with daddy.

Mya told me she wanted to eat her lunch in a REALLY BIG bowl.

Practicing her scale:)

Coloring with her toes.

Fun days

We started giving Toby rice cereal in hopes that he would sleep better. Don't let the cute face fool you, he isn't a big fan of it.

Yesterday I got some paints out and that is all Mya has wanted to do. She told me that it was amazing!

Derek bought her a princess stencil and helped her paint tonight. Derek did the castle and Mya did Cinderella.

Hanging out.

We met some friends this morning to see the Manatees and enjoy the beautiful 75 degree weather:) There were also sting rays, fish and some small sharks.

After we had a picnic lunch and let the kids run around. What a fun time!

Mya watching a movie.

Hi everyone.

Birthday Party

Mya had a birthday party today for her friend Bella. She wanted her to share her present:)

They were bubbles blowing and Mya was trying to reach them. Here she is getting ready to jump...

JUMP!

Maybe I can get this one.

A birthday kiss for Bella:)

All the goodies.
