Savannah and CJ's First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for both Savannah and CJ.  Savannah started 1st grade this year and CJ is starting 4 year old preschool this year.  They were both excited about seeing their friends.  Here are some pictures of them before school.

Not sure why CJ wanted his sunglasses on. :)

Lake Day 2016

Today we had our annual Lake Day.  We started this several years ago where we pick one day each summer that we get together with our friends from college.  It is so much fun to hang out with everyone and catch up.  Our group has grown as people have gotten married and had children.  Lake day is never quiet and the kids have a blast playing with each other.  Here are some pictures from our day.  Can't wait to see everyone again.  I also need to give a shout out to Kelsey who figures out the best day every year for us to do this.

CJ's 4 year old Birthday Party!

Today we celebrated CJ turning 4 with a Birthday party at the YMCA.  He had a bounce house party and loved it.  We invited his friends to celebrate with him.  He had a "Blaze" party and cake.  He was so excited.  We were a bit late because we were at the beach over his Birthday.  He thought he was having 2 Birthdays this year.  Here are some pictures from the fun!  

 CJ did not want to have his picture taken. 

Beach Time Fun 2016

We were blessed to go to the beach again this year.  We went with my whole family.  Needless to say there was not a quiet moment except when everyone was asleep.  We had a great time though.  Here are some pictures from our trip.

 Savannah loves to pose for a picture!  Such a diva!

CJ is 4 years old!!!

Today our little boy turned 4 years old.  I can't believe where the time has gone.  He is not so little anymore.  He is so fun to be around.  CJ has a lot of personality.  He keeps Charlie and I laughing all the time.  He never hides how is feeling.  I can't wait to see what the next year holds for him.  We LOVE him so much!!
This year we were at the beach for his Birthday.  He thought he was pretty special with all the attention he was getting.  Nana cooked him french toast for breakfast and we sang happy birthday to him with a candle in his french toast.  We went to the beach and then that night we all ate supper together.  We sang happy birthday to CJ and Lindsey.  That night we went to play putt putt for CJ's birthday.  He had a wonderful day!
