Another year down...

On the 28th, I turned 31! It was a great day...we went to the beach (I know, big surprise!), hit the gym (another BIG surprise if you know me) and spent quality time with my 3 favorite people in the WHOLE world. Matt even came home early from work to surprise me - how special! Of course, I decided to take a new Body Pump class at 4:30pm and didn't get home until 6pm...so I missed his special surprise! argh! But...when I finally walked in the door, flowers and an ice cream cake were waiting for me! yea!



Here are a few pictures from my birthday...

I love to dress in my favorite color - PINK! Even Jack has a pink shirt! ha! (no, I didn't plan this)

Jack LOVES the ice cream cake too!

My beautiful flowers!

Sandy Beach

As we are approaching the end of summer, the beach has become a favorite place to play! Yesterday, we had our friends over to play - Kristy, Conner & Cooper. They live west of Boston, so their first priority was to hit the beach for some fun! One of our very favorite spots is in the town next to us...at Sandy Beach. Here are some pictures of the kids (sorry Conner, we didn't get a pic of you! ) having a blast in the sand & ocean.

After 2 weeks of constant rain showers & cooler temps, the Waldners embarked on a fun-filled overnight stay at the Coco Key Water Park AGAIN. Our first visit was back in November - it was fun then but SO MUCH better for the kids this time around. Jack was Mr. Dare-Devil and went on all the water-slides by himself. No help from Mommy or Daddy this time...



Reagan wasn't so sure about the water slides but she loved the pool and spray fountains. A funny little story about Miss Reagan...Jack insisted on wearing his swim shirt (the ones he wears outside that give him uva/uvb protection) but after wearing it for several hours he wanted to take it off. So off the shirt goes...and with his little sidekick watching his every move, Reagan decided to take off her "swim shirt" which happened to be her bikini top. I mean really, if Jack wasn't going to wear a shirt - Reagan didn't want to wear one either!!! So before Matt and I figured out what she was doing, little Miss R had taken off her top and thrown it into the trash can (oh yes, with ALL the stinky trash & yucky food). Yep, Mom had to go "fishing" for Reagan's bikini top. yuck!



Enjoy some pictures from our fun "staycation" at Coco Key!

It's a start...

to potty-training! Reagan has gone pee-pee in the potty for 2 nights straight...Jack always goes potty just before stepping into the bath and for the past 2 nights, so has Reagan! yea! We've been reading some potty books, talking about going potty and sitting on the potty for a week or so...let's begin the FUN!!! As independent as our Miss Reagan is, I think this process might be a challenging one! Oh well...wish us luck!

A VERY belated post...

So this post is really late but I wanted to brag a little about my superstar hubby! At the end of June, he completed a sprint triathlon!!! Over 200 athletes participated in this event and it was so amazing! Matt started off swimming 1/4 mile in the Atlantic Ocean, biking 12.5 miles and finishing off with a 3.2 mile run. Amazing...he finished in 1 hour and 28 minutes. Jack, Reagan and I are so proud of him...what an amazing accomplishment!

Enjoy this slideshow of pictures from the triathlon!
