Key West Trip!

Jason & I had an amazing trip to Key West to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We couldn’t have done this without the help of Gram, Aunt Romy, & Grandma & Grandpa. Everyone tag teamed with helping with the boys & Aunt Romy jumped in for a day when my mom closed on her house. THANK YOU! We had a great time because we knew the boys were in such good hands & we know the boys got spoiled with attention by everyone!

Key West was like paradise. It’s not your “beachy” beach kind of place because the whole island is surrounded by rocks & reef, but it is absolutely beautiful! We relaxed a ton with lots of sipping on foo foo drinks, sitting by the pool, & sleeping in till 9:00 everyday! We went downtown for eating out & shopping & to see all the events on Mallory Square. We rode Jet Ski’s around the island & went parasailing on our last day!  It was quite a trip & we definitely recommend going!

Paradise is always a nice break from reality, but it sure is nice to get back to reality & our favorite two little boys. :)

Kickin’ off summer in style..

We had a blast the other night with the swing set & water table! The boys could stay out there for hours & we’ve even had a later bedtime because of it. :)

The only way to stay cool this summer is to be in water. Can you  believe it’s already 97 out these days? YOWSERS! Otherwise, indoors it is!
