Beach Day

A few weeks ago, Steve's brother, Ryan was in town...so what better to do, than take a trip down memory lane, as long as memory lane includes an afternoon at the beach!  :)

After driving by their old elementary schools and old homes where the boys lived when they were little, we hit up Surf Side Beach and enjoyed every minute of it! 

Ryan's lizard creation!

Cute Olivia's footprints

We even got to watch a storm roll in...quite beautiful!

Hot Hot Hot

You know you live in a place that is far too hot, when your 4 year old asks for directions on how to put on a long-sleeved shirt.  Yes, E was completely baffled today at the thought of putting on long-sleeves!  How funny!

In Olivia's Words

Today, I took the kiddos to "Dolphin Pig-Tails" according to Olivia!  :)  

The kids earned a movie/fun-day a while back and we decided to cash it in today since Garrett had the day off of school...thank you Mr. Columbus!

We all really enjoyed the movie...even if there were no pig-tails on any dolphins at all.  Olivia decided that it really didn't matter...we were just happy the cute dolphin was swimming!

Soccer!!!

We are blessed this year to have two teams to cheer for!

Garrett is back on the field and LOVING every minute of his great soccer comeback...he hasn't played since he was 3!  :)  He is having a blast though and is picking the sport up rather well!  An added bonus, 4 of his buddies from his school class are on his team...not to mention that he knows everyone else from past school classes, church or swim team!  Needless to say, these boys are comfortable with each other and are as goofy as ever when they're together!  Go Knights!!!

Ethan is making his soccer debut...and is loving it too!  (cue Mom and Dad's sigh of relief!)  He is loving having an activity of his own and loves to put his cleats and shin guards on any chance he can get!  He had his first (accidental) header in Saturday's game...and had second thoughts about liking the sport any more...but I'm glad to say, he's back to loving it and can't wait for this Saturday's game!  :)  Go Steelers!
