Labor Day at the Beach Park

bounce house + beach + cousins = awesome

The Sea Turtles were huge and so fun for the kids to see! They were swimming all around us in the ocean and sunbathing on the beach. It was very cool.

This was the "must visit while in Hawaii" place that everyone recommended...and they were right! So good. We just made it before closing time.

A Decade

I had to take a little break in the Hawaiian vacation pics to post this...We have now been married 10 years! We celebrated our anniversary on Thanksgiving day this year. What a crazy, fun and happy 10 years! Love you Robert!

Wimpledon 2012- Newport Edition

Tennis tournament was at the beach this year. It was a blast and Marshall and Chelsea were victorious yet again. However, we were all much improved, which made things a little more competitive!

Farmer Bob

So...Robert is pretty proud of his garden. And he should be! It started off like this...

sprinklers in... 

boxes added...

little sprouts...

and then it exploded! We have had tons of zucchini, cucumbers and pumpkins. Plus, it's easier to get kids to eat their veggies when they helped plant them.
