Sweet Dreams

I went to check on the boys during halftime of the Mavs game tonight. I saw Ben "Striking A Pose" and knew I had to risk taking a picture. I thought he would definitely wake up, but he didn't. Then of course I had to go see what Blake was up to.

Also, we went to see Cousin Bryce play one of his last baseball games as a Freshman. Wow, that seems crazy. He was Ben's age when he was cheering me on at my high school basketball games. He had a great game pitching and had a couple nice hits!! The boys loved seeing him play. Ben has prayed for Cousin Bryce's baseball the last several days. Too cute!!

South Beach - Part II

More pictures....

Blake loved swimming. He felt big with his floaties. Hopefully he will lose those by the end of the summer.





Ben's version of swimming. He didn't get off the steps which I guess is a blessing since I was at the pool by myself this day. This is also why I chose to put the lifevest on him.

More beach time

All wiped out

Here is the video of Blake dancing. It was taken on our camera but it is really dark. If I find a way to lighten it up, I will correct.

South Beach - Part I

We just returned from a family vacation to South Beach in Miami. Brent had a conference for work and we turned it into the annual Baldwin family trip. Our flight left at 6 AM in the morning. I have never gotten up so early in my life. We did make the flight. That was quite an accomplishment with all of our luggage and the chaos of traveling with 2 kids.

The boys had a blast and were very well behaved. They really loved the beach and swimming in the pool. As soon as Blake woke up he was constantly asking me if we could go swimming.

Blake and Ben also had their first limo ride. Since there were 8 adults and 4 kids (another family that works at the Baldwin agency came with us), Papa Bill got us a limo. They thought it was great!

Another highlight was Blake dancing at the dinner the last night of the conference. Check out the video at the end! He was really loving it. He was just dancing right along all the older adults. We were cracking up!!

Here are a ton of pictures.....

On the plane heading to Miami. What a great husband to sit in between the boys.

Playing at the Beach. Ben wouldn't have anything to do with the ocean.

We loved going to the beach at dusk. We could play in the sand and not have to worry with sunscreen (yuck)!

Just a Little Loud.....

We had a birthday party for one of Blake's neighbor friends on Saturday. Here is a clip of Happy Birthday Blake-style.......

Yes, he needs to learn volume control!! The poor birthday boy had to cover his ears.

Just a little embarrassing for mom, but also pretty funny.
