All the Naples fun

Once we got to Naples, we quickly jumped into all of our favorite things – and some new things because these kids have a LOT of energy!!

We rode bikes to the tree…

Weekend fun

We had a great weekend around home. Friday night we had dinner at Otey’s where Samantha owned the stage! ha! Don’t know where she learned those moves?!

Saturday morning we found a new pet in the yard – a caterpillar named Calvin – and bought him a new home.

We then had the best lunch visitors ever! Keath, Jen, Nate, and Delaney stopped by on their way to Wisconsin. We loved having them here for lunch and getting to show them GJ and Daddo’s new house – from the outside at least. Cutest cousins ever!

Saturday night Robert and I left the kids with a sitter and went to dinner with some friends. When we got home, I couldn’t resist a peek at my sleeping angels…

Sunday fun around the hood – bikes and scooters for the win!

Mother’s Day

After a fantastic Saturday, it was Mother’s Day on Sunday! Maxwell brought me breakfast in bed and then they pulled off a hilarious surprise with the help of Mrs. Susan…

Ha! My little Daisy Duke!

We then went over to surprise Mrs. Susan in our pjs! She’s as much mother to these kids as anyone so it was only right to show her some extra love that day!  🙂

After that it was down to Montgomery for lunch with the family.

Ha! that picture seemed fitting because I think we somehow end up at Target every single time we’re with GJ! Isn’t that what grandmothers are for? Toys at Target? 🙂

This one is a little cuter…
