January 2013

Xander loves playing in his box of balls. He crawls in and plays peek a boo and somehow manages to kick and squirm and get all the balls out of the box. He loves to open and close the windows and door. I love this daily game we play!




Xander wearing his "Nike" hat!


Every morning...and every evening.


Poor little guy managed to burn his fingers on the fireplace. The worst part, other than him hurting really bad was the fact that these were his comfort fingers. The ones he always sucked on to soothe himself. He tried to suck on them, but they hurt so bad he decided it just wasn't worth it. I felt so bad for him.

His fingers hurt so bad, he thought he would suck on his toes instead.


 Sporting some Shox!


Who is that adorable baby!?


Awe!!!


Xander & Kenzie @ Costco. He loves her hair!


Happy Birthday CC! Lets go to the Bahamas!


Me & Joss being silly.


CC giving Emit kisses.



Xander sitting with Joss. What big boys!


Joss giving Xander kisses. Xander loves his big cousins.


Joss wanted to show us how strong he was by picking up X-Man. SOOOOO strong Jossy!


We decided to walk down to the beach and of course since we didn't put our swim stuff on the boys were all about getting in the water. It was warm and beautiful, so we decided what the heck and we all went swimming in our clothes. Lol!



 Xander wasn't so sure at first but he liked it once we got in.






Joss and Emit were swimming like little fish!




Joss showing us the backstroke and how to float.



 Splish splash!



The turtle whisperer.  This was so cool!






X-Man watching Joss & Emit play Harry Potter on the XBox.


 My sweet baby boy!


 CC & her Birthday presents.


 Rub a dub dub!


                                               Glow sticks + bath time = lots of fun







The boys love playing in their tire swing and climbing the tree in the front yard.





 XI wasn't a big fan....this time!



He did like all the leaves.



 Awe!!! Sweet Emit!!!


I love Joss's hair and beautiful green eyes in this pic!


Spiderman kisses!





Joss & CC kissing in a  tree....K-I-S-S-I-N-G! Shortly followed by Emit, Joss, CC & Tamara all having the flu and throwing up for several days. Xander got sick the day after we got there and I think he shared his lovely germs with the rest of the crew. I was the only one who managed not to get sick. Praise God! Needless to say this put a slight damper on our trip.



Xander wanted to climb the tree too.



We love you too Joss!



I love the progression of this picture series. Pay close attention to Emits face.










Emit got sick a few seconds after this picture was taken. Poor dude!


XI loved Emits big firetruck.


I love his cute lil' toes in the sand.




Sweetheart playing on the beach.






Hooper's Bay, Georgetown, Bahamas


Catching some ZZZZZ's with CC!



Down time.


      Choo-choo!

Mommy's New Man!



Tamara's 31st Birthday!



Walking on the beach.


X-Man with a Bocce ball, such a happy beach bum.


CC & Joss playing Bocce. Joss beat us all!


Taste testing the sand.

Playing with CC.



Awesome ball player!


Joss beating me @ Bocce.


Oh yea, Joss is #1!


This is why CC comes to the Bahamas!


XI loved playing with the Nalgene bottles.




Toes in the sand! I LOVE this shot!


I can't believe how big Joss is getting, Emit too. He didn't feel well enough to go play at the beach this day.


Happy Birthday Sis! Don't worry there were more brownies. Trying not to share any more germs.




Smoouch smoouch!




Night time cuddles.


Day time cuddles.



 Tie dye fun!










Flex those muscles!!!

Watching the "mighty machine" work!















You can tell Emit still doesn't feel so great.




Hanging out!!!






Eebee Baby!!!







Too cool!

I love this hat! It once was Poppy's. He gave it to Emit & Emit let Xander borrow it so his cute little white head wouldn't get sunburned.


Xander warmed up to the beach a little more each day. This day he was feeling exceptionally brave and took off crawling across the sand straight for the water like a little sea turtle. He was a riot to watch! He was having such a good time. Speaking of turtles...I will post some pictures of us playing with some awesome sea turtles as soon as I can get them from Tamara. They hang out by the dock on this beach and will swim right up to you and let you pet them. Xander had as much fun as we did playing with them. They are so beautiful!










Watching Eebee with CC. He completely zones out when he watches Eebee.


Thanks CC!


Going for a ride to Chat n Chill. Xander didn't like the wind on the boat ride it scared him. He kept trying to get down and away from the wind.


CC stayed on the boat and let Xander finish his nap. I was grateful, because a boat rocking in the waves makes me want to throw up. I guess I don't have sea legs!


Winter in the Bahamas means lots of sailboats in the harbor.


Xander grabbed both of my cheeks with his hands and planted a big wet one right on my lips. I love this boy, sooooooooooooooo much!


Tamara & her boys.


CC & all 3 grands sporting the cool tie dye shirts we all made.


3 generations!


We are family! It's always so much fun to spend time with together. Time passes much too quickly and its always hard to say goodbye because we never know when we will all see each other again. I sure love you guys!


Joss 5, Emit 3 & Xander 11 months. Man do we have some handsome lil' guys!


CC reading to Xander @ the airport.


Kevin was gone on a business trip to ATL when we got home, but he had some sweet treats waiting for me. Thanks Boo!


XI has only sucked on his fingers twice since he burned them. It makes me sad that he doesn't do it much anymore, even though it is probably a good thing.


He loves straws!


Who can resist this adorable face?!!!

  1. Time sure flys when you are having fun...wish the flu would have stayed away, but we all had each other to lean on when the days were brutal! Loved my birthday gathering and spending time in beautiful weather on gorgeous beaches :0). Swimming with the boys, playing on the beach and having Sea Turtles around was AWESOME!!! Kisses, hugs and snuggles - PRICELESS! Lets all get together again soon...
