Life's a Beach

We spent Memorial Day weekend at the beach.  Friends of ours have a condo in Ocean City, MD and they invited us to spend the weekend.  We spent some time on the beach and some time in the pool.  We spent some time on the MD boardwalk and went to the Rehoboth boardwalk.  We ate some really good food (and some really bad food).  We stayed up late and slept in. 

It was Ashlyn's second time at the beach and Bryan's first time.  Ashlyn loved the sand but not the water.  Bryan loved the water but not the sand.  The both had a lot of fun on the beach and in the pool and as a family, we all had a great time!



 
He wasn't phased by the water at all.  He just took it all in.



 
She spent all of her time building sand castles with Daddy.

 
This was just after she took a tumble in the water.  A wave knocked her right on her but and then onto her back.  She was not a happy girl.
 

 

 
 
 
It took Ashlyn a little while to get used to the pool water but the little guy took to it right away!
 
 
 
We ate at a kid friendly restaurant one night and had a great time!

 
The one night we went to the boardwalk our kids were totally spoiled.  Everyone with us was winning them gifts non stop! 

 
I got this picture right before we left.  They had such a fun time.  Nothing but smiles the whole weekend.  We will definitely be heading back to the beach this summer!

    These pictures are adorable! And sunny skies? Best beach day. I love how your son and daughter were opposites in the sand v. sea preferences lol! I love the beach so much, if I don't go this weekend I'm going to throw a dylan-like fit. >:O

    Looks like you had a blast! I can't wait until we can take our kiddos to see Erin's family and go to the beach.
    The kids are looking so big too!

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
