Surf's Up Dude!

A couple whom we know from back home in MI was down the same week staying at our condo resort.

Their kids borrowed our surf board and headed out to the ocean to try it...well of course I wanted some cool surf photos. Here's Tyler getting the hang of surfing. for some reason surf pics always look cool.


I love this photo! I think it looks like a Hollister photo.
Cohen is in love with the board! He booked out as soon as he knew he could make it without getting dunked.

A place of our own

We finally have the condo to ourselves! Yeah! It is a world of difference 4 people in a 3 bedroom vs. 7 of us. I couldn't even judge how I felt the first week b.c there were too many of us on top of each other. Cohen did better with more space today - I think we all did.

Well I'm not much for words lately, maybe when I get a chance without chasing kids I can sit down and write a little more, but for now....

...here are some more photos!

2 year pictures

I haven't had many photos of Cohen because he is horrible at sitting or smiling or anything! But i finally have 2 year pictures of him. Granted he isn't looking, but I thought they reflected him quite well :) Enjoy the collage.

Another Hot Day

Well, I seem to be taking more and more photos! AGH! Maybe too many? I've decided my photos look better in a warmer climate. Haha.

So I better post what I have today or I will have too many by the end of the week.

Here is what we have done today in a matter of....the last 3 hours!

Cohen posing for me - wow he smiled! Kinda.

Me and the boys - I think Landen was actually sleeping here.

Oh this is classic - me chasing Cohen with a baby in my arms...this is my everyday!

Cohen running like the wind...everywhere we go he run run runs.

Mom pushing the boys on one of our walks. It was cloudier today, but way hotter then it has been...or at least much more humid. We didnt walk very far needless to say.

Dogs are everywhere! On the beach, streets, allies, resturaunts. Kinda creeps me out with the boys.

A quick update of photos....

The boys very first plane ride - went very well. Actually the plane ride so far has been the easiest part. Cohen asked today if we could go home...oh break my heart. I felt so bad.

All four of us - Landen is hiding under the cover though...

Cohen learning to jump in the pool. He has gotten better I will say!This is what we do all day - sleep, which is great b/c I am chasing Cohen that whole time.
People comment on how tired I make them by watching me.

Look how far away we are from the condo...and this was only half way to the water.

Aunt Heather playing soccer with Cohen - I think she is ready to kill him. They share a room and he is constantly hopping in bed with her and waking her up early. Lets just say she is ready to go home and dosnt want to come back this summer.
This is how far it is to the water - yes that is my sleeping baby in that stroller a LONG ways away. Dont worry even at 10am the beach is always this dead.


Here my precious is sleeping soundly :)
Until I have more I hope you enjoyed!

Hola!

So we are here finally.

The past six weeks, since Landen was born, might as well have been 2 days. I about blinked and here we were.

The trip down went amazingly well. Cohen was compliant which was a Godsend. Landen literally slept the WHOLE way. Woke only to eat, but never even fussed. Hallelujah. I did however use a pipe for Cohen. Ooops. But you know what, it was so worth it.

It is very Hot here. So hot that I haven't been able to keep Landen asleep during the day. The condo is small with 7 of us in it - Cohen is feeling cramped so he wants to be outside 24/7 but Landen doesn't like the heat so he wants to be indoors. Greeeeat!

Here are some photos I took this morning on the beach. I have some from the plane I will have to put on later ( they are on another camera)

*My three boys, what a beautiful sight!

*This is our condo we live at, for now at least.

*I think this photo looks like something out of the movies or a dream or something...I love it!

More to come soon!
