Our first beach adventure

The week of July 4th, Kris and I were invited to attend a wedding on St. Simons. Since we were also looking for a place to take the kids to the beach, we combined the trip. My wonderful mother-in-law came with us and took care of the boys while we trapsed around the island doing wedding stuff. Spencer loved the ocean and tearing down the sandcastles Kris patiently made with him, while Patrick was more partial to eating the sand. Mimi worked hard to keep him from eating it. He was temporarily satisfied with the wet-wipes package. We also took a morning and went to the local water park. Spencer has really taken to swimming and loves Daddy throwing him in the air to splash in the water. He even went as far as to let Kris teach him how to body surf!

Spencer turns THREE!

We were at the beach when Spencer turned three, so we celebrated in St. Simons. Kris picked out a cookies & cream ice cream cake that was really yummy and lasted more than just our birthday! Our favorite cartoon character of the month, Diego, hosted us with his candle, plates and hats. Spencer got lots of cool stuff like a race car that "vrooms" and races across the floor, of course Deigo toys, big boy underwear (yes, we are getting that potty thing down) and sand toys for the beach. Even Patrick had fun watching all of us look silly and wonder why we were making him look silly too.
