Summer Vacay part 2

July 10, 2014

More Naples…more fun!

Robert got to play golf while I drove the cart…

The boys had another tea party…

We rented a bike for Maxwell to practice on all week.  He wants one for his birthday so we thought this would be a good introduction. He was so excited about it he rode it out of the store!

He was pretty proud and rode it all around the courtyard for a while…

But then he managed to fall off twice and got a little skittish about the bike. He really spent more time on the tricycle which was fine.  We’ll get him riding that bike with a little practice!

Spencer loved his bike ride!

We went to the beach some more…this time with new trucks!

Summer Vacay

July 8, 2014

Like last year, we spent the 4th down in Naples but this year we stayed a whole week. It really is so nice to get away for a full week instead of just a long weekend. We did plenty of laying around and more than plenty of eating good food!  The boys loved being at GJ and Daddo’s house and Robert and I loved having GJ and Daddo around to help entertain them!  🙂

We flew down last Saturday morning…but not before discovering late Friday night that our water heater was leaking! Oh no! Well, really more like “thank goodness” because had we not discovered it before we left, we would have come home to a potential disaster a week later! We put in a Friday night call to our good plumber Bubba and he actually came over and replaced our water heater while we were out of town! Yep, our plumber’s name is Bubba and, yep, we trust him enough to leave him a key!  go Bubba!

Water heater problem solved, we got up early Saturday and headed to the airport. The boys did great on the flight down…

and were very happy to see this lady when we got there!

The boys wasted no time going straight to their favorite toys…

There were a few new things to check out too, like this table my mom had set up for the kids. It still had Delaney’s tea party set on it from last week and Maxwell thought a tea party was a great idea!

We ended up having a tea party just about every day…and each day with a new tea party treat! The first day it was popsicles! (the “dripless” kind made with jell-o and kool-aid like I always ate growing up!)

And there was, of course, tea water!

The next morning, the boys had a good breakfast (they just made me laugh all week sitting at this little table together)…

and then we headed to the beach!

Maxwell tried to dig to China…

but then decided that was a lot of work and the hole was more fun to sit in…

and then get buried in!

Spencey thought it was pretty funny when Maxwell couldn’t fight back!  🙂

Cute boys.

They both loved the beach and we probably spent more time in the ocean than we did in the sand! They both loved being out in the waves in our arms. Of course, we probably spent more time in the pool than the ocean and sand combined.  But, that’s ok because they love the pool and Maxwell did SO great on his swimming all week that we were happy to oblige!

More pics tomorrow!

Monday Monday

Not only is it Monday, but it’s the Monday after vacation.  Womp womp. We spent the past week in Naples and loved every second of it. We got home Saturday night and are getting back into the swing of normal routine today but are really wishing we were still playing on the beach…

Flashback Friday

June 6, 2014

I’ve shown you some old baby photos before and how my brother looked like Maxwell.  I’ve also shown you my favorite picture of baby Robert and how much I think it looked like Maxwell, especially his hair.  Finally, here’s just a few more baby pictures of us. Well, got a couple more for you today…

This is a baby Ronnie and Robert… (thanks Jenny!)

ronnie and robert

Ronnie’s on the left and totally looks like Maxwell, I think!  Robert is on the right in all his squeezable, chubby glory just like Spencey!

And here’s another one of my brother, Keath, as a baby…

keath

the blonde hair, the blue eyes, the chub…Spencer all the way.

Whoever my boys do or don’t look like, one thing is for sure….
