First Day of School

The kids are all smiles as we are on our way to school.  

Happy Birthday Collin and Lily!!

I made Toy Story alien cupcakes for their party.

Collin and Lily celebrated their 4th and 2nd birthdays together in Dallas with all their friends and family.  It was a Toy Story themed party held at ASI Gymnastics.  Lily's birthday is Sept. 19th and Collin's is Oct. 2nd so we decided to have a combined birthday for the two of them.  I can't believe they are already 4 and 2!!  Where has the time gone?

Santa Rosa Beach, FL

We just got back from our vacation to Santa Rosa Beach, Fl.  It's just outside of Destin.  We rented a beach house with Mimi and Grandad, Aunt Stacie, Uncle Craig and the kids, Lauren and Claire.  It was Lily's first flight and she did great!!  Collin and Lily were both so good on the plane.  Of course, it helped a ton to have extra hands from Mimi and Grandad on the plane.  

The kids loved the beach!  Lauren and Collin were like little fish in the ocean.  They couldn't get enough.  The only way to get them to come out of the water was to bribe them with the swimming pool.  Lily enjoyed playing in the sand and making "sand" cupcakes.  There was no real agenda while we were there except going to the beach.  We made a lot of good memories and look forward to our next trip together!
