Trip to the Hamptons

If you can't have a little girl, borrow someone else's!!! Sweet Lindsay!

Frightening thought to have three this close in age...medically impossible, but frightening all the same.

Ahh the wonders of sand....

Brayden and Daddy getting in some pool time.
We just returned from a great trip to the Hamptons to visit Bryan's long time friend and his family. Their daughter Lindsay is a year behind Brayden and 7 months ahead of Ben. The kids had lots of fun playing....the grown ups had a great time too :)

Full moon


There was a full moon at the beach and unfortunately the pictures don't do the night justice. The moon was so bright and was reflecting silver off the water. The beach has quickly become a favorite spot. Sunrises (however, when I am up to see them I am not really in the appreciative mood as some child has awoken for the day way too early), sunsets, moon, birds all make it a place of beauty.

July 4th








Here is every one watching Bryan put off small fire works in the back yard. Brayden and Ben weren't too sure about the loud bangs and whistles. Later we were able to sit on the balcony and watch fireworks that were being set off on the beach. Brayden loved watching the colors explode in the sky. Distance helped muffle the noise so he wasn't scared. Benny crashed early and missed the excitement. Maybe next year.


Silly Boys


I just have to say my boys are too cute! Ben loves kissing glass windows!








New hammock








Bryan's Father's Day gift was a hammock for the beach house and everyone had fun playing!


Benny's trip to DC




Yeah!!! Ben finally got to do something his brother didn't! Ben and I went to visit my sister and her little boy, James. The boys loved playing outside and smelling the flowers. It took Ben a while to master the uneven terrain but he got it. The last pic is of the boys brushing their teeth and sharing a stool.


Galveston Sunset
















One evening we decided to go to the bayside pool after dinner, take a swim then watch the sunset. It was beautiful and actually a little chilly...Texas chilly that is.... I think it dropped into the 80s! Ben and Pop are good buddies!

Visit with Mimi and Pop
















We had my mom and dad visit over the fourth and we had a great time at the beach house.
