You have to ride the train when you go to the zoo!!
We went to the zoo with Erik, Nicole and Owen it was so fun! Here are the little cousins.. Owen wasn't to thrilled with grass... But everything else was so fun thanks guys for fitting us in we know you are so busy when you come into town!
Finn loves to grab grass and squish it as hard as he can with his little tiny Hercules grip!
Sophie always ready to have her picture taken... she is getting really good at smiling for the camera! ( If you look close you can see her two bottom teeth!)
My two little munchkins!

Tagged

Okay so this was my first time being tagged... and I don't think it is very fair! Not very cute at all! Here are the rules: Take a picture of yourself right now, no primping or preparing. Just snap the picture.Load onto your blog.Tag 3 people to play… so i am going to tag, Tisha Williamson, Lindsey Machan and Melissa Rock!!

Lately we have been...

Visiting with my cute cousin from Arizona and Sophie and Fin meeting her baby girl Mckinley for the first time!! (thanks Tisha for getting us all together we love and miss you!!)

Being quite the handful lately.. FInn is all over the place if I turn my back for just a minute he is into something.. at this particular time he decided he wanted to be in the toy basket with all of is toys!! STINKER!!

Going to Finn and Sophie's 9 month check up.. NO SHOTS YEAH!! They had a hay day with the butcher paper they put down on the table.. by the time we left it looked like we threw confetti all over the floor... Finn's new weight 20 pounds even and for miss Sophie she is still at a petite 17.1 pounds!







Hiking at the Ranch..Audy and I had so much fun hiking Finn and Soph up to the Spring the weather couldn't have been more perfect and they had a ball watching all five of the dogs that we took running around!! Everything was so green and lush it was beautiful.. Sophie and FInn loved playing in the dirt and picking weeds and grass it was too much fun!!

The End

So to conclude our trip to Florida here are the rest of the pictures...


We had a four hour drive from New Orleans to Florida so on the way down to break up the trip we ate at Cracker Barrel.. SO here are Sophie and FInn rocking on these adorable rockers that I will one day buy for both of them... They loved it!!
Finn playing with the sand... he was so good he would grab big hand full and let it run out, but he never put it in his mouth! Amazing because usually everything goes straight to the mouth!

Finn and his Daddy.. Audy loved taking his kids to the beach where he spent a lot of his childhood, he is such a proud Daddy!


Sophie was taking a nap so we took Finn down to the beach by himself and of course we had to bury him for the first time!


Family photo!

Such big babies sitting on their very own beach chairs!!
Such a sweet BOY!!

Precious baby DOLL!


We had such a fun time at the beach.. Thanks Nan, Bob Hil and Rod for coming with us it wouldn't have been the same without you guys!! ( Oh and Rod thanks for playing scrabble every night!!)

fLoRiDa part one..

So here are the first round of pictures.. we took so many that I thought I would post in shifts! During our trip we had some big milestones... Sophie learned to say mama, and pick up cheerios and put them in her mouth all by her big girl self. Sophie and FInn both got their very first pearly white toothy!! It was too funny we had no idea they were teething and Audy one day stuck his finger in Finn's mouth and felt something sharp..and there it was! So he came running out to show me, I was so excited I checked Sophie just for fun and she had one too, same tooth for both of them!! They never one acted grumpy.. so i had no clue!!!

Love that BUM!!
