Beach Vacay

We went to Florida last week for our Annual Beach Trip. Jen, Kevin, Luca and Ya Ya came with us and we had such a wonderful time despite the rainy weather. It rained on us most of the time we were there but we made the most of it! We loved our condo, it was on the ground floor and our patio opened up to the pool and beach, it was perfect! We spent most of our nights on that patio sipping wine and listening to music and sharing laughs. The kids had a blast playing in the sand and water and loved every minute of being at the Beach.

I did not want the trip to end, I always get sad when it is time to leave. The girls and I waved good bye to The beach our last day and said "See Ya Next Summer!" So until then......

Sweet Slumbering Sisters

The girls have ended up in our beds alot the last week! Not sure what is the problem, but they make their way into our big ol bed at different times of the night. Ella Kate just walks on in and whispers to me that she wants in and crawls on over. Riley has a different approach, she just cries and hollars out "MAMA" over and over again until I finally come and get her. There she will be- just standing in her crib holding all of her blankies with one hand and the other one will be reaching out for me. Thank goodness for our king size bed, because Roux also sleeps with us and he is a major bed hog!

This morning was no different, woke up to me being on the very edge of the bed and two very precious little girls sandwiched in the middle between Scott and I. This is the sight that I woke up to and I think my heart melted at that very moment.....




Doesn't get any better than this!

Riley is talking non stop these days and I caught her in action the other night on camera! Here she is going through all of the family-




More family, love how she says "Russell"-



And then we have this video, right after the girls' bath I was walking Riley and Ella Kate into their rooms to put their pj's on. I am trying to get a diaper when I see something on Riley's hands, I was like what in the world??? Ella Kate screamed "IT IS POOP!" Sure enough, Scott spotted poop in the hallway, seems Riley "Had to go" while in en route from the tub to her room!!! We were dying! But the funny part was everytime we asked her "Who did it?", she would blame it someone else. And she went down the list-Me Me did it, Ya Ya did it, Ella did it, Mama did it, Roux Roux did it. Here is her blaming it on her Daddy-
