Ocean City MD

These 2 pictures are the views from each side of where we stayed on the beach. There was a boardwalk just a few blocks down. The shore was covered with umbrellas because they rented them out there on the beach.

Khloe loves the beach she went with us to Cancun 6 months ago, but this time she was old enough to enjoy the sand & water.

Everytime we sat down together the waves kept getting higher & higher. We kept getting hit by the waves and having to move back! She didn't mind at all!

Dad riding the waves!

Please don't stare at my white legs... So not cute haha!

She is so tan just like dad... Not fair!

Probably not a good toy to play with.....

Awwww so good!!! Just kidding there was not a drop of DP in there don't worry! Like father like daughter :)

Mt. Vernon

A couple weeks ago we made a trip to Mt. Vernon in Virginia to see George Washington's mansion he lived in while in office. It was fun to learn more about one of our great presidents. I wasn't able to take pictures of inside the house but many of the walls were painted really bright blues and greens, I would have never guessed. Here are some shots of the outside of the mansion.

Confession...

Well I have to admit I was pretty excited to see Eclipse. The main reason why was because Derr was just as excited about it as I was.. he he! Our group was pretty big so we went a little early and reserved 2 rows of seats. I'm not a die hard fan but I definitely enjoyed the evening and it was my favorite Twilight movie so far!

Here are some pics of us early birds! :)

Walk-a, Walk-a, Walk-a!

Yay!!! Khloe has finally decided to take her first steps on her own! She will be 11 months on the 5th, so I can still say she started walking at 10 months haha! I am so proud of her, she is so cute when she does it because she gets so excited and then claps her hands when she sits down. She still needs a little more practice but soon she will be running around like crazy! It's so fun to watch these beautiful babies grow and figure things out for themselves.. It's truly amazing! I have a couple videos of her and will post them soon!

So Many Looks!?

So I know this is a strange post but I've been thinking about it for quite some time now. I know you all pretty much know this about me but for some reason it bugs me that I do it! I change my hair way too much! I promise it's not my fault all the time, most of the time my hair likes to have a mind of its own and pull random colors when I get it done.... It drives me crazy because I feel like I am always having to fix something with it! Well just so you all know I QUIT! :) I am so done with coloring my hair... I'm going all natural from now on! (We'll see how long it last... wink wink!)

May ~ June

This summer in B-more has been awesome so far! We have been so busy doing so many different things. I finally got Internet in my apartment so now I can share our fun filled experiences here. When we first got here we were so surprised by house nice our apartments are this year... Granite, hardwood, stainless steel appliances, jetted tub, 3 theatre rooms, high end mall right across the street and so much more! The monthly rent is anywhere from $2200-$3000. We have been really comfortable I must say! Also we have about 15 wives with almost 28 kids.. I think that's right (too many to count haha)!

Here is a little update on Khloe... She is 10 1/2 months now and her hair is finally growing in! She has about 2 inches on top & 2 1/2 on the bottom. The sides need to catch up haha! She is saying all sorts of new words like dada, Brea, keys, and my favorite is STOP! I don't know where she learned that one from haha! Her new favorite thing to do is walk.... but she has to hold on to something or she freaks out! She can totally do it on her own, she just doesn't know it yet! :)

In may we started the summer off with a trip to the Baltimore zoo. It was great because it wasn't crowded and it was a beautiful day. Khloe is in love with the movie Madagascar (I have no idea why she does) so I knew she would love going to the zoo to see all the animals from the movie! Funny thing was is that her favorite animals was the pony.. She would point & stare at it... So cute!

We also went to Amish country in Lancaster county. It was a great trip because we wanted to visit the real Amish not just the touristy areas so we drove around the outskirts and ran into a family that was selling homemade breads. The little girl ran out of the house and in the cutest voice invited us to suppa... My heart melted it was just the sweetest thing ever! We wanted to join them so bad but it was only noon and we were looking to eat lunch at a real Amish kitchen restaurant. They told us where one was and gave us their number so we could come back and visit with them. We then went into Lancaster after lunch and we went on a buggy ride.. Khloe loved it because it was really bumpy!

Just downtown is the inner harbor that has a bunch of shopping and fresh seafood restaurants. Also the national aquarium is there. We have been there a few times and will probably go many more (they have a huge urban outfitters there.. That's why I love to go!) ssshhh don't tell derr haha!

As an office we went to an Orioles vs. Redsox game. It was fun but rained a little on us. It was a long game but the orioles left with a win! It was funny because so many people that went had never been to a pro game before so it was exciting to go with them!
