September Birthday Celebrations and Trip to the Beach!!

Birthday brunch with my two favorite people!

Kaitlyn's new backpack... an early birthday present for our trip to NOLA and the beach.




Last week Kaitlyn and I flew down to New Orleans to see Bebe, Pops and Aunt Lindsey. After one day in NOLA we drove over to Orange Beach, AL for a long weekend at the beach. We were excited that Brad was able to come meet us at the beach Thursday night till Sunday. Here are some pics of our little fish in the water and a fun time at the beach with everyone.


Pops trying to teach Kaitlyn to swim as she listens intently.

Relaxing with Bebe in the pool...

Kaitlyn can not get enough of the pool! She loves to jump from the side and swim to the ladder and of course, we're not allowed to help her :)

Ready to hit the beach everybody!

Soccer on the beach....

Birthday Celebration - Part II

We got back from NOLA on Monday and celebrated Kaitlyn's real birthday with our Columbus pals on Tuesday. Thanks to Jack, Sam, Emma, Josiah, and the newest member of the Old Gang, Parker, for celebrating with Kaitlyn.

Birthday girl making funny faces!

What's a birthday party without a cricket hunt in the backyard...

Opening presents was so much fun. We LOVE all of the new toys and book that we got! This child LOVES to read!!

Our exciting new bike and of course bike "hat"... this is our lastest cheesy smile.

Couple of other pics from Sept - our first OSU tailgate. Sorry to all of the Michigan fans but I think this girl has a crush on Brutus :)

Our first day at "gynmastics"! So far Kaitlyn's favorite parts of the class are the trampoline and hanging from the mini parallel bar.
