MOPs Family Picnic

I honestly didn't even take my camera to the MOPs family picnic this year, but thankfully there was a photographer there taking photos.  We got this great shot of our fam!

T-Ball

This is Reed's first year playing any kind of sport.  He loves being out there on the field, and he especially loves his uniform.  I think we are going to do soccer in the spring, so he can be a little more active during the game.  Four year old t-ball consists of everyone getting to bat, no one getting out and no one wins.  That is all well and good, although it can get a little boring, for him and for us, ha!  He loves chasing down the ball when someone hits it, so I am sure he will love chasing down the soccer ball.

A little practice on the field.

He does his best to see where he is running with the huge helmet.

Last minute tips from the coach.

Carson has slept through every game so far.

More Beach Pics

First time in the ocean!

Posing with their sand castle.

Reed loved jumping in the waves.

He could even manage them a little by himself.

Carson was so good on the beach.  She snoozed in the tent with her fan most of the time.

And what's a beach trip without a mini photo shoot?

Beach Trip 2013

We took our first family vacation as a family of four the week before last.  It was an awesome week, spent relaxing with our wonderful kiddos.  Carson started sleeping through the night on vacation, so that made it even more relaxing.  It was awesome to have a full week together with no other distractions.  I can't wait until our next trip.  I need to get to planning!

Reed loved playing in the ocean!

He did lots of this!

Just so happens that another family from Atlanta was also staying at the same place.  Reed and Leah were fast friends!  Too cute!

Putt-putt is absolute necessity for any beach trip.

And Chris did his best to play while also carrying Carson.  Before Carson and I had to head back to the car due to the humidity, Chris was still beating me playing this way.  

Hanging out on a large duck outside a toy store.

Carson slept through most of our dinners out.

And Reed always got a little bit of Minion Rush time at meals.

This is the look I have been getting lately when asking him to smile.  Silly boy.

Once he started collecting shells, or pieces of shells, he couldn't stop.
