11 months

So...I know I'm late on this and haven't posted in forever but our internet doesn't cooperate sometimes in the evenings, which is the only time I have to post stuff! So, 1st birthday stuff will come soon, but until then, here are some pics from the day our sweet boys turned 11 months old!!

Florida visit

Last week, we went to Jacksonville, FL for a few days to visit Auntie Jessica. We had so much fun! We missed Daddy, but were glad that Nana could join us. Here are LOTS of pics from our visit, and from the boys' first beach trip.
The shirt says it all...

Lots of new things to explore!

Garrett couldn't figure out how to get out of the glass box (aka the end table he crawled under) The tile was cold on their knees, so they "monkey crawled" on it. Funny!


Don't forget the sunscreen!

First day at the beach! We got there close to nap time, so the boys didn't want to play much before sleeping. Garrett woke up refreshed and loved the sand...Walker just enjoyed napping on the beach so he slept most of the time.


Walker thinks this seashell looks good enough to eat ;)

Our cousins Amy, Terry & wife Jessica and their daughter Alyssa along with their niece Maddie stopped by on Friday on their way home from Sarasota and Orlando. It was great to have a family visit!

We went over to the pool and playground in Aunt Jessica's neighborhood and had fun, even though we didn't have time to swim that day.

(Note to self: when you haven't seen the sun in two years and you are going to the beach in Florida, sunscreen is a good idea! Luckily, it mostly turned and didn't peel.)


On Friday night, we cooked out and invited Jessica's friends April, Dave, and their daughters Madison and Megan over to visit. It was great to meet Jess's BFF who keeps takes good care of her while she's not with us!

G-man looking so grown up!

On Saturday, we had to get our naps in before heading to the beach again.
Jansen decided to join Jess & Garrett for nap time :)

Check out this ocean water...cool! The boys really liked the ocean and enjoyed playing in the sand. The beach was really crowded that day, so we didn't stay too long.










Our last stop was at the pool. The boys loved it!

It was such a great trip and a fun visit. Thanks, Jess, for having us!!
