LAST 2 weeks in a NUTSHELL!...

We started the week with a WONDERFUL visit from Brad's mom! (Nana)..The kids had SUCH a blast with her and she spoiled them rotten!! :) Hope she comes back SOON! :)






2 RANDOM pics...



Mckayla dressed these up so they could watch her "talent show"...

My kiddo's! LOVE them

BEACH WEEK/ 1 night..LOL in Ocean City, NJ...Long story short...Sam ended up in the ER on Sunday (the day after we got there) a.k.a FATHERS DAY....so we cut the whole week short to recoup...which turns out was the best idea since I followed and then McKayla...

Anyway..we made it to the beach once, and the boardwalk once...so here's what we got! :)

1st Full Day Pic's

O.k Here are a few of the pictures we took the 1st day!

1st off I can't tell you how darn excited I was to meet my cousins wife Becca. We have emailed back and forth so often and check each others blog, that I really felt like I had already met her and we had been friends forever!

How freaking cool is that?

Now that I have said that, I hope she doesn't mind that I am plastering her face all over my blog! *ya know I love ya Becca! :) *

Anyway...here we are...us cheesballs!
