Happy Birthday Jace and Lexi!

Jace celebrated his 5th birthday last week and Lexi celebrated her 3rd at SIGS Sportsplex with a bounce time party. Jace's friends from school, friends & family came to party down with us on Saturday at SIGS. It was a full house, as you can see, by the pic below. The kids all had a blast! Thanks to everyone that came!

MUSCLE MANIA!

Last night we had dinner with the Cromwell family and had quite the after-dinner entertainment. I walked into the living room to find Jacob and Jace saying, "let's pump some iron man!" Then they decided it was better to take off their shirts to lift the massive 2 and 3 pound weights. So, after a minute Lexi decides to join in on the muscle pumping and takes off her shirt. She didn't lift any weights, but posed with some little ninja swords. It was muscle mania! (thanks to Aunt Carolyn for taking these awesome pics!)

Florida Trip to Fort Meyers

Last week we took a last minute trip to Fort Meyers

with the Cromwell family and Papa Dave.

Weather was perfect, house we stayed in was great!

Couldn't have asked for a better week.

Sunny weather in high 70's/low 80's.

Didn't want to come home to the 35 degree rainy weather :-(

Lexi, Jace & Matt were buried in the sand several times

First day on the beach at the pier (notice we're all pasty white)

Lexi and Jace liked watching the pelicans

We found a park that had a train museum

and a train ride that Jace absolutely loved!

Fun at the park

(The parks in Fort Meyers were very nice & kid-friendly)

Striking a pose

This bird waited patiently next to this man fishing for his next catch.

Every time he caught something, he fed it to this bird.

What a good fishing partner :-)
