Florida!!!! (part one)

The past week and a half we have enjoyed an amazing family vacation in Florida. The entire Terpstra family was there, which was busy but very fun. It was our first trip with two munchkins and it went so much better than we could have ever imagined. Just thought that I would share a couple of the great memories that we made.

Starting off with a yearly family picture. Actually pretty painless this year!

My two boys before going out for supper at one of our favorite restaurants.

Some of our cousins were down there at the same time. Here is a group pic of all that were there. A total of 16 and a half!

Waiting to catch a fish!

How Griffin and Sophia spent there time at the beach!

Another pic of the cousins that were there in age order.

First time for Griffin in a pool. It took him a couple minutes, but then realized he loved it!

One of the first nights the kids enjoyed splashing in the water and jumping over the waves still fully clothed! Oh the joys!

Teeth and Spring have Sprung!!!!

First off, Griffin is the proud owner of two bottom teeth!!! He has been working on them for a couple weeks now but I was just recently able to get an okay picture of them. He did really well with them too. You never know what you are going to get with a teething child but I'll take what I got. I love to hear the different noises they make and see the expressions they give when they have teeth. It is like a whole new kid.

So, like everyone else I'm sure, we have been enjoying this weather so much!!! Long walks, sand box, side walk chalk and just running around! Here we are enjoying the weather while it lasts!

Parker has loved getting his bike back out and riding it around our circle over and over and over! He has really caught onto the bike and keeps talking about when he is going to take the training wheels off. Little does he know that he is so not ready for that.

Had to put this one in, because it is one of my favorite things when little ones eat there feet. Call me crazy, but I love it!

Griffin's first time in a swing. Needless to say.... He loved it!

My three boys!

Birthdays!!!!

This one is a little late, but not forgotten. A couple of weeks ago we decided to "kidnap" Sarah and Abby for there birthdays which were in Feb. We ended Up North in a family condo of one of the friends and stayed overnight. Had a great time playing games, Relaxing and catching up with everyone. So... Happy Birthday Abby and Sarah We Love You!

One of the teams trying to figure out Mad Gab. Great game!

Heather and Kristin acting something out for another great game!
