Taylor & Jack's Half Birthday

When my mom & dad come to visit, we usually have a half birthday party for Taylor and Jack since they both have December b-days. Jack's is December 5th and Taylor is December 25th (my Christmas baby). So you can imagine why it's easier and much more fun for them to have half birthday parties. This year we decided to go to Color Me Mine (which is a place you can color your own pottery for those of you who don't know) and we let them invite one friend each. We all had so much fun!

All of us...

Visit from Mom & Dad

My parents come and visit us at least once, if not twice a year and we LOVE it when they come! They came back in July but haven't had a spare moment to post... summer is crazy (but so much fun). Hopefully, when the kids go back to school, I will have more time to post. We'll see! Here's some pics from their trip here (I forgot my camera most of the time).

We went to Ruby's on the pier to eat...
