Our Vacay/Reunion

So we took our annual family beach reunion last weekend and as usual...had a blast (missed you JO). Here is a group shot in which you will notice two things...#1 our new family member named "the table" (it was just impossible to get this timed picture without including that big ole table) and #2 my husband looks really nice with his new wife and child over there doesn't he?(Jon, should we be worried?)

The one below is just an example of how great my husband is with kids. This is his niece Madelyn who is very cautious who she pals around with...she definitely enjoys the company of her mommy! I spent the entire time trying to brainwash her into liking me the best but Justin won that battle for sure....he's just so darn fun!

But Madelyn does have impecable fashion sense for a 2 year old.....we didn't even plan these outfits!

And did you really think I could leave the beach without getting some goofy picture of my husband? This is him in his "model on the beach trying to be sexy" pose....he was workin' it!

Okay, funniest thing ever was when Jon and Justin set out to help the little boys build their sand castle and ended up taking over the production completely. And surprisingly we ended up with a big hole and tunnels instead of castles. They called it their "aquarium" and even went out and caught live fish and crab to put in it! Look at how intensely they are staring at each other...they were in the planning stages here.They set it up so that the tide would replenish the water source and the fish would be able to live. Unfortunately when we went in for lunch low tide came and the water no longer reached the poor fish (RIP fish).

I love this time of year but...all good things must come to an end
