Walking

And she is off! She has been trying to walk for what seems like forever, but she finally started really walking when we came home from the beach. She has now perfected it and is quite fast. Ivy Kate likes her walking, but doesn't like her getting in all of her stuff.

This picture was taken at the splash park. She had just as much fun as all the big kids!

Swimming Lessons

Ivy Kate had swimming lessons the week after we went to the beach. At the beginning of the week, there were a few tears shed, but by the end, she was swimming like a fish. Here she is showing off her medal!

Skydiving

My crazy husband decided to go skydiving at the beginning of May. He says that everyone should do it. I told him I would think about doing it for my 30th birthday, so I have a little less than 3 years to talk myself out of it! :)

5 Years!

While at the beach, we celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary! I asked John if he thought 5 years ago we would be celebrating at the beach with two little girls.

These past 5 years have flown and have been so exciting. Thanks for being the best husband...here's to 100 more! :)

(Can't find a picture of just us...they all have a couple of extra little people in them!)

Beach Trip 2010

Our little Cousin It...who will not keep her hair pulled back! She had a blast at the beach. She wasn't officially walking yet, so she crab crawled on the beach. It was hysterical! She would crawl to the water and crawl back and get in the beach chair.
Ivy Kate was our little fish. She loved the beach and the pool. She and John spent most of their time in the waves...while Maggs and I sat in the beach chairs.

A quick family pic while waiting to eat at Lulu's!

We went to the beach at the end of May and beat the oil by a week or so. We had so much fun! John said taking the girls on vacation is WORK and he is right!

What?!? We have a 3 year old!

Ivy Kate turned 3 in May! She had such a fun birthday party with her friends and cousins! Here she is blowing out her candles. These 3 years sure have flown by...we now have a sassy little girl!

Easter 2010

This picture pretty much sums up our life. Maggs is missing her shoes and socks. IK had gotten that Hello Kitty watch in her Easter basket and insisted on wearing it to church...some battles just are not worth fighting!

Trying it Again...

So I contemplated quitting blogging, but I guess I will give it another shot. Here is to catching up!
