Tennis and Easter

We spent another week at the beach last week for the tennis tournament at Sawgrass. Kirby had his own special fort in the closet, he absolutley loved sleeping in there. Kirby and Baba watching the tennis

Easter morning the Easter Bunny brought Kirb all sorts of treats, as you can see he has a mouth full of something... probably jelly beans

Hunting for eggs

Uncle James came home for easter so he came to meet us at the pool for an easter cocktail, and a visit from peter cottontail himself

Art Market

I don't think that there is anyone of you out there who follow "the Crump" who don't know about mom-b and what we are doing at the artists market. Anyways on April 4th we participated in the first ever Riverside Arts Market! What an awesome day and a great experience! Anyway, our booth looked adorable, and we did great.

(If you don't know about mom-b or the arts market PLEASE follow the links to learn more:))

Anyways we couldn't have done it without the help of Ted and our little mascot the Crump!

Kirby probably ate 100 of the chocolate eggs that we had out on the table, "just one more mommy", or "my daddy said i can have one" haha he has gotten pretty good at trying to trick us these days with that one.

Ok, so have i mentioned the hippie drum circle that planted itself directly beside us half way through the day? Well let me just say it was an eye opener, Kirby loved it..... mommy, daddy, amy... not so much. Here is just a taste of what was going on

This was my favorite dancer, this photo dosn't quite capture the feeling of the moment, but it was just beautiful :)

These were probably some of Ted's faves, at one point one woman was balancing a flaming sword on top of her head! This woman directly in front of me is dressed in a bandana :)


Amy's favorite part were the people who looked normal, however felt the call to join in. I tried to get Ted to join in since they were encouraging the audience to pick up an instrument.

Ted however, was not happy with any part of our hippie neighbors. Especially since inside our little tent there were about 12 people just standing, not looking at our stuff, but watching the hippies. One girl spilled her diet coke all over our stuff :( Bummer!


Anyways we did have a great day. Thanks to everyone who came out!

The Beach

We had hoped to take Kirb to disney for his birthday..... but once we made all our plans, we realized we couldn't really afford to do it this year. So....... we decided to spend a week at the beach. Much more fun for mom and dad, and Kirb had a blast! We spent our mornings fishing,

and our afternoons at the beach or the pool. The weather was beautiful the whole time we were there

Kirby turns 3

Kirby had a fun birthday this year, starting out as "super star student of the day" at school.

He brought cupcakes for all of his friends

After school, kirby opened his presents from mom and dad, he got a monster truck thingy, along with some trucks. And a neat basketball, sprinkler toy.

For dinner baba took us all to Timaquana for dinner, but not before opening more presents from the grandparents. Kirby got a big boy bike, which he LOVES and some really cute sheets for his big boy bed.

I got a computer!!!

Thanks Pops!

So...... were back. I have a lot of pictures to share, starting with Kirby's 3rd birthday. I think i will have to change the name of our little blog in the next couple of days as we are anxiously waiting for the arrival of Kirby's brother, and soon we will be a family of four.

The Dreamette

A pretty day

Today was a beautiful day and Shelly and I decided to take the kids to the park in San Marco for a change of scene. There is a REALLY high slide there that Emsley was a pro at, Kirby on the other hand took a little time to get used to the idea. But once he got going there was no stopping him.

Although he looks quite confident in the idea of going down head first, Shelly had to climb up the slide and help him down.

After playing for a bit we drove around San Marco and found a nice sunny spot at Hendricks for a picnic, the kiddos found another playground...... so much for the picnic.

Valentine Party

I helped out wth the valentine party in kirby's class on thursday. I didn't get many good shots but here are a few.

Tumbling

So we signed Kirby up for tumbling, i know, not the most manly sport in the world but he's good at summersaults and it's something to do between now and next year when he is old enough to do t-ball or soccer. It is a boys only class ages 2.5 to 3.5. Kirby hasn't quite gotten into the swing of things he's still a little, shy at the beginning of class and begins to warm up to it as the time goes on..... when i say shy..... he pretends he's a dog. It's a little hysterical and a bit embarrassing, to see him crawling on the ground barking, when everyone else is standing in line and following directions. Here are a few shots of him actually participating........ oh, and they are the only pics you will see of Kirby in tumbling because i almost got my camera confiscated. NO PICTURES unless you are at competition... don't think we will be making it to competition, unless they have a ribbon for best puppy impersonator.

Winter 2009 and some updates

2009 has gotten off to a great start, we have been doing lots of playing in the backyard on the new playground that Baba got Kirby for Christmas.

Here are some pics of Kirbs playing Football and baseball.

Go Gators!

I haven't actually made any sort of Blog announcement and I think everyone already knows but Kirby is going to be a big brother this spring. We are expecting a second little boy at the end of April, and welcome all of your prayers as we get ready for a second.

Dew's Island

We brought in the new year ths year with Bree, David, Baby Lee, Ryan, Melissa and Matt at the ringhavers hunting prpoerty in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It was FREEZING (like in the 20's), but the boys had a great time hunting and the girls had a great time shopping and playing with the little ones.

Kirby with his new best friend Melissa, who he bugged the entire plane ride home.... gave mommy a litttle break though :)

Thanks Melissa!
