Just Pictures...

There are some cute pictures I wanted to share...

    Noah at the 4th of July Festivities in Lake City, Iowa.

 Emma helping Tandy clean, she was having the best time, there was a smile on her face the whole night!

 Abby's sleeping pose in the car.

 The kids greeting Daddy in Orlando, FL after not seeing him for a month.

 The kids trying out their new goggles.

 Noah soooo excited to see his horse.  He got on it as soon as the movers brought it in the house.

 Sorry Sergio, I had to do it, he is just so darn cute!

On our move from Germany to the states...Sergio a little frustrated.

First Time at the Beach!!!

This is an old post, but I had forgotten all about it.  Noah had been to the beach before in Amsterdam but we never got in the water because it was too cold, so this was his first real time in the ocean.

We made a trip to Sunny Isles FL soon after we arrived in FL.  We were unsure of what Noah's reaction would be, would the oceaning be too overwhelming, would he love it??? We just didn't know.

As you can see in the pictures his reaction was priceless, in fact the first couple minutes the water hit his feet he screamed like a girl!!! He had a smile on his face the whole time we were there.

9 YEARS!!!

WOW, today is our 9 year anniversary!! I can't believe it has been 9 years already, really they have flown by.  I think because we have done so much in 9 years.  We are happy to report that our marriage is better now than it was 9 years ago and keeps getting better everyday, not many people can say that so I am very thankful we can!  Here are some pictures on our 9 year journey together!

We are celebrating by going to one of our favorite restaurants Texas De Brazil!! I cannot wait , it is going to be a good night!!

Our First Visitors!!!!

Well we have only been in Miami for a few months and we have had our first visitors already.  Sergio's parents and our niece Vanessa came to visit, we were super excited because we haven't seen then since before we moved to Germany so it had been over three years.  We hung out and talked alot, Vanessa played with the kids, which they loved.  We went shopping, to the beach, out to each, swimming, etc, etc. I think everyone had a great time. Here are some pictures of our week.

The whole gang out to eat on the last night of the trip.

Emma and Abby doing Lita's hair, I think they were doing this for at least an hour.

Build A Bear!

This is an old post, I am a little behind and am going to try to catch up this week!  It has kinda been traditional taking kids to Build A Bear once a yr but while in Germany we were unable to do it.  So for Emma's birthday we told them we would go and they each could get one. This is Emma's 3rd one, Abby's second and Noahs first.  They each picked out the animal they wanted.  They all had a great time even Noah!

Expect a lot more posts this week, I am playing catch up!!
