this past week was really great..shane was home, we went to a birthday party, we played at the beach..just to name a few!

of course the kids attack him the second he walks through the door :)

...i don't think he minds!

we spent a great monday morning playing at the beach, collecting hermit crabs, building sand castles and of course, chasing and catching lilly before she drowned herself.

syrus has figured out how yummy it feels to roll in the warm sand after being in the cold water.

a rare smile for the camera...

playing with some of min min's cool toys...i have no idea what these do!

driving a new birthday gift..does he have his license for that thing????

brave momma!

hmmm..not so trusting!

never put your foot down while getting a ride on an electric bike!

sorry dude!

who's the pyro in this picture???

still can't figure out how to delete...

eya holding back the pyro...

or maybe she's after the wine bottle??

lilly trying to stab syrus in the mouth with a huge bite of cake!

at least he thinks it's funny.

taken by syrus..not bad!

painting rocks we found at the beach...

something tells me she's missing the point of this activity!!

a lizard syrus was thrilled to have found in the yard. shane is convinced it's the same one we've caught once before..i think he's full of crap!

lilly protesting a diaper change..

and of course wanting to squish the cute lizard..

a fun little hike we took on sunday before shane left...

"helping" daddy wash him motorcycle..

i'm sure shane will be horrified that he is with out a shirt in most of these pictures..sorry babe!

you DO always have it off!! (i like it!) xo.
