Weston is the Beston!!!

Weston has been enjoying playing with his brothers and sister lately….

Big brothers RULE!!!!

Big brother Trevor took Jason, Reagan, and Elli fishing yesterday evening.

We have a small Nature Preserve down the road with a lake.  Trevor wasn't sure if there were fish in the lake but figured the little ones would have fun either way.  He was right ;) 

 Trevor even carved a fishing spear to use because the waters are shallow in some of the areas...

And guess what?  There are fish in that lake!!!

Reagan caught his very first fish...a small LargeMouth Bass….

  Woohoo!!!
They are going back tonight :)

A day at the beach with Brandon...

Brandon and Trevor thought it would be fun to bury someone...

Brandon was first…but wasn't buried well enough….

 So Trevor buried himself better...

 Brandon took full advantage...

So did Josh...

We brought home buckets of sand that day…in their suits :)

Phone pics…FINALLY!!

I finally got my phone pics transferred to my computer…YEAH!!

I have soooo many of them that I am going to just go in order…over a few posts :)

These first pics are of Brandon being home with us this past summer.  

There is an aquarium here in New Jersey…I LOVE AQUARIUMS!!…but we have never gone because it is like 65$ a person to get in.  Well…while Brandon was home they had a Military appreciation day, and they offered a family pass for a whole year to Military personnel at 1/2 price…so we got a family pass!!  WOOHOO!!

The aquarium is in Camden…right across the Delaware River from Philadelphia...

 The exhibit that the twins and I were most excited to see was the hippos ;)  You cannot see them too well in this pic...

 …but look at this one...

 …and this one...

…and they even came out of the water to pose for us ;)

Our next favorite exhibit was the shark tunnel ;)...

 I had to time it just right to get the shark in the background…some people were better at holding their smiles for that long :)

 And then there were lots of other exhibits that were interesting and fun...

 This is actually a picture of Brandon…can you see him through the water with his arms crossed...

 The gift shop is always fun too….

 We had soooo much fun!!  We cannot wait to take Grammi here when she visits :)

Tomorrow I will post pics of our beach time with Brandon...

Weston went to the doctor for his 4 month old shots today…he impressed them all with his porky weight gain :)  He is now a whopping 14.3 lbs!!

Happy 4 Months Old Weston!!!

Weston is now rolling over and holding himself up nicely…he also grabs his toys…and is getting pretty good at getting the things he grabs into his mouth :)  In the pictures below, Weston rolled over to grab his pacifier…you can see it tucked under his hands…we distracted him with the camera, but had we not he would have been grabbing at it and getting it into his mouth ;)

 Elli and Weston accompanied me on a little shopping trip yesterday…we had to try the ride-on toys :)

 Two nights ago the kids were fully enthralled in Lincoln Logs…Weston was tucked in right along side them…he is getting soooo BIG!!!

Happy 4 Months old Weston…you are a Joy!!

Our Happy little guy is almost 4 months old!!!

Happy Birthday Joshua...

I am late…I have been preoccupied with Brandon being home :/  I have lots of pictures to post…but since I forgot my camera on most days, I have to get them from Brandon's and my phone.  So I will get them up but it may take some time.  

We had a "Bow Tie" birthday for Joshua...

 We all wore bow ties and I made a bow tie cake...

 We actually went out of town for Joshua's birthday…to Hershey Park…woohoo!!!  I put the camera right by my stuff to go…and forgot it :(  But Brandon took some pics with his iPod and I took some with my camera, so as soon as I get them I will post them.  

Happy Birthday Joshua!  Hope you had a super birthday!
