Birthday Weekend

Our birthday boy!!
This is the little house that we rented at the Coast. It was small, but quaint.
We were here so we could spend a quiet birthday weekend with the little family.



The one and only shot of me the whole weekend. This was taken in the yard. The weather was too perfect to pass up the photo op.


We got right down to business. Cake and gifts!




The weekend involved board games.





And, of course, reading.



One beautiful baby, who kept us hopping.






Group (male) shot.

Isn't this frameable? Love it!





Levi letting Roman help with the kite.



Isaiah enjoying the kite experience too.




Daddy running ahead of Abram, and Abram watching the bright kite high in the sky.



River got the bum kite. This kite had ISSUES! hahaha




Roman UNhappy, but this moment was short lived that morning.




Later that day, the weather heated up. It was a pleasant surprise to all of us. So the guys all had to climb in to the frigid ocean to play. I stayed on the beach with Roman.




We had chocolate chip cookies. Although his might have been more like sand with a chocolate chip.....



Levi buried him, and he loved it!




Once the sensation came back in to their bodies from the numbing sea water, we headed for home. It was very relaxing and fun for all.



Thanks for the getaway baby! *wink*

Trina I love the Pictures of them all! I can't wait to tell Cole to look at them tonight. I am so glad you got away to the ocean. I can almost smell the salty air, no joke, it makes the memories come back so vividly. River looks even taller than I remember. The girls are going to like your boys out here, but I am not sure any will be tall enough. LoL Love you all!

You have such a good looking family. I really enjoy reading your blogs. I think I might have to take my girls out there in a few years to meet those handsome men. lol. I really miss living out there and being able to take a drive through the beautiful terrain and coast line. Your get away looked like alot of fun. From your comment on my blog this week I will have exactly 2 more months before this little one gets here. Hope you are feeling well (the best you can).

Love & Prayers

Love all the pictures of your family! Roman is such a cutie there with that grumpy little look on his face. And then with cookie all over his face too. =)

Trina, what a wonderful weekend away with your family! I love the photo of your men! It's sooooo(!!) frameable!

About the lack of photos of you... don't you let that happen again. lol I've looked through my albums of the past many-many vacations and there are very few photos of me. It's like... was I really there? Oh yeah. I was there. I just don't have any proof of it, because I'm always behind the camera.

I'm really glad you got away as a family. I'm also glad you share your beautiful photos with us!
