Twins

Lately Anna has really been into being "twins." She thinks it is so great whenever she is "twins" with someone. Basically if anything is remotely similar, she says its twins. She loves being "twins" with mommy, but she especially got excited when she and Zack got "twin-er" jammies at Costco. She couldn't wait to get ready for bedtime that night!
Too bad they're dirty because every night she asks to wear her twin-er jammies with Zack.
And they even got to be "twins" wearing the same color to church on Sunday.
This girl loves being "twins" almost as much as she loves being "unique!"

Outer Banks

It's about time that we headed to the Outer Banks for a little beach vacation with our good friends, the Bells. It was AMAZING! We had a blast and I wish we could be back there right now. Here's a ton of photos, but they are in random order. sorry.

I think this is my favorite picture of the whole trip. Cute Jamison with Sierra and Anna at Jockey's Ridge.
Jockey's Ridge is the biggest sand dune in the eastern US and so awesome. Gorgeous views of the ocean and the sound, soft sand, and great for flying kites!









Here's Anna at the marker for the Wright Brother's 3rd flight. She was not happy about taking a picture, but she did want to stand next to "her number."



Oh Sweet Baby Zack!
He is heavenly and was a great baby all trip. He hung out in his little beach tent and took in the ocean air and dozed off into dreamland every now and then. We just love this little man.


He started rolling over while at the beach too.

And a little collection of Zack's day by day.




Dave showing off his cool tricks to the kids.


Paige, Jamison, Sierra, and Anna so excited to be playing on the beach.


A little trip to the aquarium

AHHHHHH!

Dave and Jason caught a jellyfish. We decided it wouldn't make a good pet.

Gorgeous beaches


Zack's first dip in the ocean!


You'll notice that in almost every picture, Anna is wearing the same dress. No, we didn't take all of these on the same day. It's just that she insits on wearing that dress. every day. And the matching pants. yeah, at the beach. funny girl.


Anna was in heaven playing with her best friends 24/7. Sierra and Anna shared a bunk bed and she thought that was pretty cool. The Bells had to leave early, so Anna wanted to sleep on top after Sierra left. I didn't think she'd do it because our room was upstairs and the bunk room was downstairs. She didn't care, she was too excited. Can't believe my little girl is already into bunk beds!
Here's Sierra and Anna giggling while playing "catch"

And doing a little downward facing dog.


Protecting the castle.


Saying goodbye to the Bells!


Silly Faces


Jason caught some awesome fish in his net.



Check out that adorable face

A little ride on the boogie board for Anna




We love you Outer Banks! We hope to visit you again soon!
And if any family members are reading this...call me and I'll convince you to come here for a little reunion, OK?

3 months


3 months already! We love this little Zack man and don't know what we'd do without him. He is so sweet. He is usually smiling and happy to see us and seems to just be content with life.




He's discovering his hands and feet and is so interested in his little play mat. He tries so hard to swat those measuring spoons!

Zack keeps changing every day and I just can't seem to keep up with his growth! It makes me sad how quickly its fleeting by. Love this 3 month old baby boy!
