The last beach weekend!

 This is the sign that met us at the beginning of Seaside Avenue!
 The kids saw this sign and immediately panicked but there was no reason for concern - it was just the water that was off limits and it was about 50 degrees anyways!
The girls all waiting for Papa! Bob and the boys stayed in RH while all six of the girls and I headed down to the beachhouse for one last day of sun before the house is closed up for the winter! Papa came home with pizzas only minutes after we got there!

The big girls stayed behind with Grammy while the little ones headed over to the beach with Papa.

Papa and the girls!

My beautiful beach baby!


The girls posing for a picture!


Ellie wouldn't sit on the driftwood - she wanted to run!


Balancing on the driftwood.

Annie is the exact opposite of Oscar the Grouch but she loves her shirt!

Jumping off the log!





Annie loved writing in the sand and practicing her new letters.


Annie wrote her name in the sand!

My beautiful goofball!

Katie and Annie having fun in the sand!

Nothing like a warm beach day and a Papa who lets you take your clothes off!



Ready to run on the beach!




Hugs for Papa!

Loving on Papa.

Lined up and ready to go again!



Checking out how cold the water is!

I love this picture of Katie and Annie hanging out shirtless on the beach.

BFF's!

Last weekend Lucas came over to hang out. A little while later Katie, Abby and Tyler came on over to spend the day with us so we had a full house. Dinner was so muuch fun with 9 kids around the table that I tried to get a picture but as you can see I cut almost everyone out! It was a perfect day with lots of fun and laughter for all of the kids! We are so blessed to have time with our nieces and nephews anytime we want it!

A full table!

Just a random day when I came out and found the three baby girls hanging in a chair together laughing hysterically! Love my girls!
As you may notice, my blog entries are few and far between. The kids are in the full swing of school and very busy with sports, dance, ccd and family events. We just celebrated Uncle Ed and KK's birthday and are gearing up for Lizzie and Ellie's big Birthday number 3! Life is a little crazy but also lots of fun and Bob and I are always amazed at the blessings in our lives - Grammy and Papa home from the beach and dropping in more, Auntie Ann and Sister Anne taking the little girls on mystery shopping dates, Uncle Ed hanging out for Sunday Football, Auntie Eileen and Uncle Jeff watching the two babies during the week, Aunties and uncles galore stopping over to visit, fall festivals and fun to attend to and at the end of the day a warm house and healthy family to come home to! We are so very lucky!
GNM - ILY!
