A day at the park!

 We took Brett and Emma to the park  last weekend...do you think they had a good time?

Emma was so relaxed in her swing, just sitting back and enjoying herself. Brett also seemed to enjoy the swing but he would not sit back at all! Instead he kept leaning himself as far forward as possible!

I think this picture sums up their personalities pretty well!

Aren't weekends the best?

Busy Busy Bees!

     The last few days have been super busy for Brett and Emma! Last week we went to the park...

First trip to the park!

And of course Brett slept through it...

Emma loves the park, Brett loves to sleep!

     And over the weekend we went to the beach. Let me tell you, this was an ADVENTURE! Haha. Brian and I are obviously new to parenting because we were not prepared for a Florida beach day. We lasted about an hour, but it was fun. We kept the babies nice and shaded...except for a couple quick pictures...so that wasn't really an issue. But it was still so HOT. The water isn't warm enough for them to go in yet so we stayed ashore and it was borderline miserable until an extremely generous woman gave us her beach umbrella. She was super sweet and very generous. Her family had been playing with Rusty the whole time (we were at the Ft. Desoto dog beach). We told her it was our first family beach trip, but I am pretty sure she could tell :) So she kept insisting we take the umbrella and even gave us a little shovel to dig a hole for it. Luckily the babies had been in shade from their carseats, but the umbrella was like a little miracle haha! So now we have a beach umbrella. Maybe one day we will see a family at the beach who could use it :)

     I know Brian err Brett and Emma already posted some beach pictures...but just in case!

Loves the beach...

 

Loves to sleep...

 Monday was another new adventure! We went to the Florida Aquarium with our very best playdate friends Malia and Leila. 

First trip to The Florida Aquarium!

Malia and Leila (not their first trip!)

Relaxing!

There are some fish in that tank!

Brett is awake - ready to explore!

Fish fish fish!!!

     *Teachers get FREE admission into the aquarium so I am sure we will be back many times!* 


     On Tuesday we went to the moms group at Bayfront, they meet every week. It was a lot of fun and I would recommend it to anyone in the area. Anyone with a baby of course, or else you might look sorta creepy! But there are babies of all ages sitting, crawling, playing, all kinds of things! The mommies get to chat with each other and ask questions. The group is led by a nurse/lactation consultant who seems very knowledgeable about all things baby! 

     We left there and went to the Gulfport Farmer's Market to pick up some fresh vegetables and I learned all about hydroponics - growing plants and vegetables in water instead of soil. And I bought some hydroponic grown strawberries...yummy! We just have a few strawberries left from our trip to the Strawberry Festival, so some new fresh strawberries were in order!

     Last night Aunt Katie came over for a visit and we went to the mall to get outfits for the Lady Gaga concert Saturday night. I am so looking forward to this. Brian has had this planned for a little while and I couldn't be more excited. Katie and I are going to dinner, the concert, and then to Channelside after. Last week Brian had a night out after a hockey game to celebrate the playoffs. He had a really great time and lucky for me the babies were awesome the whole night! I am hoping he gets just as lucky this weekend while I am out on the town!

Katie wore Brett at the mall!! She was pretty excited about this!

     It didn't take long for me to realize people probably thought these were mine and Katie's babies...that was a little funny. And awkward :) 

     So as you can see...we have been a very busy bunch! There are so many fun things to do during the day. I can't believe how much of my life I have wasted at work! Haha!
