Our Trip to Vegas

Marc had a seminar in Vegas so we were able to take some time to ourselves. We had a lot of fun relaxing by the pool and going out to dinner...alone! :) We even won a little money gambling. It was just what we needed before the new baby comes!

Our Visit With Our Friends

We met our friends, Kelly and Cruz, at the park one afternoon. Anthony and Cruz had a blast running around and chasing each other. I'm surprised that sat still long enough for me to get this picture.

Beautiful Sunset at the Lake House

We went up to the lake house towards the end of September and had a beautiful sunset.

Our Trip to Tampa

We went to visit our friends, Joe and Jenn, in Tampa for Labor Day and our 5 year wedding anniversary. We had a great time hanging out with them and their friends. We look forward to going back. Thanks for having us!

One of their friends had a floating dominoes board. We hung out in the water and played for hours! This picture was taken out in the middle of the waterway on a sandbar. Everybody pulls their boat up and anchors around the sandbar. No telling how many sharks were swimming around us! :0

Baby Lauren even enjoyed the water. She turned a year old in September.

Anthony met a friend while vacationing. He and Gabriel got along great!

Anthony loved hanging out with Joe, aka Chooch.

Joe and Jenn have their own jet ski and we were able to take Anthony for his first ride. He fell asleep 5 minutes into the ride. I guess he liked it!

They took us to an island off of Tampa on one of the days. Tons of boats just pull up and party around the island. It was so much fun and relaxing! We even got a game of bocce in on the beach.

In the Backyard With Dad

Anthony loves being in the backyard with his Daddy. His favorite thing to do is water the plants and play in his pool. He doesn't even care if the water is freezing cold! If he waters the plants, he always ends up soaking wet. He can't help himself!

Anthony giving Dad sweet kisses!

My Baby Had To Have Stitches

My little baby had to have 3 stitches on his baby toe. Anthony decided to climb out of his crib in the middle of the night. After putting him back in for the 3rd time, he climbed back out and cut his toe on a sharp piece of plastic on the rail of his crib. He came into our room fussing and when we turned on the light, we saw the blood. Not something you want to be dealing with at 4:00 in the morning! We took him to the doctor the next morning and they stitched it up. He did really well! It's all better now.

On the Beach

We've been trying to enjoy the summer by going to the beach at the lake house. We've had pretty crappy weather all summer up on the lake. We had a few nice days so we tried to enjoy them while we could.

Anthony with Aunt Sharon!

Anthony with Aunt Maria!

Anthony with Aunt Jean

Anthony loves taking showers in the outdoor shower. He would stay in there all day, if we let him! That's no joke!

Little Blue Eyed Boy!

Anthony loves putting his hats on backwards. I was able to catch this shot as we were getting ready to leave. He looked so cute!

The Enser's Visit

My sister, Becky, and her family came to visit us. We went to an Indians game and then headed up to the lake for a week. We had a great time with them. We can't wait for next year! Anthony misses you guys!
Anthony's first baseball game! He loved when everyone clapped so he could join in.

Boil Night at the Cottage With the Enser's

We had a boil at the cottage, while Becky and David were visiting. It was so good! Thanks Becky and David for all of your help in throwing a great party!

My sister, Becky and I got to catch up. It was great spending the week with her and the family!

The kids got to enjoy some corn hole in the front yard.

All of the Aunts and Uncles came over for the boil. It was nice visiting with everyone.

The ladies chillin' in the front yard and enjoying the sunset.

The men in action! It's time to eat!

The Enser's Visit

The crew decided to take a break down by the harbor. The weather was a little chilly so they were catchin' some rays while they could.

Anthony was having so much fun hanging out with the kids. They spoiled him rotten!

I laid Anthony down for a nap on the beach. The tent looked so inviting, Aaron decided to join him!

The kids had to get the tube blown up before they could go tubing. I guess it was a lot of work because Anthony and Aaron had to take a break!

This was taken on the day they were leaving. Of course, the weather was perfect! Anthony misses them like crazy!

Happy Baby!

Anthony is such a happy baby! He was having fun hanging out on the front porch. It doesn't take much to please him.
