Snakes and Reunions

The boys had a lot of fun staying at a beach house with their aunts and uncles and gradma/pa Jones for a family reunion this last weekend.  We headed up Friday night and stayed until Sunday.  We didn't get to do nearly as much as we had planned but we had a lot of fun visiting aunt Melanie and her family.  Saturday was the family reunion for Rod's biological family.  Ronin followed his cousins around most of the day and they found squirrels, a frog and some snakes together.

Here's a lovely snake

The big kids played football (Rory has the white hat)

Ronin got into trouble quite a few times for walking off to go look at the water or find his cousins without telling anybody he was leaving...  One of my biggest fears is that he'll do that and fall into the water or someone will take him -- luckily we had a lot of family watching out for him and someone came to tell our group that Ronin was playing by the water with some other kids (I was walking Quinn in the stroller while this was happening).  So the rest of the day I had to keep him entertained by my side - poor kid.  I'm not sure how to get through to a 4 year old that he can't do everything he thinks he can... 



It rained the day we were going to take Ronin onto the beach to play, so we spent a lot of time inside the beach house vegging out.

Happy brothers :)

So serious...

In time out...  haha

While I went to enjoy some music in the park with my girlfriends (Shelley and Brandee) last Thursday, Rory worked on the kitchen.  He put glass tiles along the wall and big tiles for the countertops with some glass tile accents -- it looks amazing!  It makes the kitchen look a lot more modern, I love it!

One more project down... next we want to make Ronin his fort in the backyard and work on the front and back yards...   there's always something to do!

It was a very busy week and weekend, but it we all had a lot of fun :)

Lots of love,
