Family Fun at the Beach

Here are some fun pictures of one of our nights out at the Beach. The fun included-a train ride, Parakeet posing, Dance party on Stage, and of course good Seafood and Dessert. We had another great Beach trip!!

Train Ride pics


The girls took turns briefly posing while covered with large birds on their arms and even heads.

It was funny!

Ella was not loving it when the bird was put on her head. You can tell in this picture because she looks terrified, but she talked about how fun it was for days!

Taylor and Christian didn't mind the birds on their heads, for a short time! Sophie's time with the birds was even shorter and I was never able to get a good picture!

The funniest part of the night was the kids Dance Party on stage!! I wasn't able to capture much of it from laughing so hard at Christian. She full-out danced for several songs in front of the camera completely unaware of anyone else around her:)

A shot of Sophie looking a lot like her Daddy to me!

Tuesday Tumbling

The girls are in Gymnastics classes on Tuesday mornings for the Summer. They love it! Ella's class is first with 3-5 year olds. Sophie's class is right after hers and is the Mommy and Me class that Ella took at her age. They both do pretty good and have fun! They may not be Olympic competitors but they are learning a little and having a good time. Here are lots of pictures I took from the last few weeks. One week had a 4th of July theme and they wore hats and waved flags around briefly. Ella and Sophie both love the trampoline as you can tell by their faces! Sophie loves the bars and Ella loves to hang on the rings too.

Softball Swimmers

Ella's softball team had a swimming party earlier this month. As I slowly go through all of our recent pictures I realize how bad I have been at blogging lately. This heat and pregnancy are tiring me out easily:) Here are some of the cute pics from the Swim party.

This was our attempt at a group photo!

The girls having some lunch out by there FUN pool!

Silly Sophie when she didn't want to leave!


Sophie splashing-she loves the water!

Magic Springs

On June 1st, Ella's actual 5th Birthday, I took her to Magic Springs with some of her friends! We left the little kids at home for the day so we could do more things with the big kids! Brooks, Presley, Finley and the Moms had a fun day with them on the little kid rides and the water park. It was a fun day to spend with my big 5 year old!!

Baby #3 is a .....

BOY!!!
Here is a short clip of our sweet Baby BOY from our ultrasound!! He looks so sweet and healthy and we could not be more excited to welcome a little boy to our family full of females! We went to Baby Views to confirm a surprise ultrasound my Doctor did during the morning:)




I had a Doctor's appointment during the morning yesterday and my Dr. decided to try and see if she could tell the gender. To our surprise (after an ultrasound my cousin did a few weeks ago when we were told it was early but possibly a girl) we are having a Boy. We were so excited that the girls and I immediately drove to Tadd's office to tell him the news in person. I even captured his surprised smile with the camera. I just couldn't miss the look on his face when I told him the news! Later in the afternoon it was confirmed with a 2D ultrasound at Baby Views... it's official we are having a BOY.







He is still grinning and I think still a little shocked:)
