Back at home after the big birthday party, things settled down into our regular routine for a bit before leaving for another fun week at the beach with the Dameron side of the family. This regular routine does not regularly involve eating paint, but after seeing all of the cute artwork Shannon somehow gets the boys to produce, Ashley had to get in on the game too.
Then there's these guys--in their (almost) matching flannel and funny faces. Hudson is getting so big and his personality even bigger these days!
 |
| These guys are finally big enough to take a bath together. I can tell you that Harrison's favorite thing in that tub is not made of plastic |
 |
| Finally, we are at the beach! This is one happy daddy, surrounded by his boys, watching God knows what on TV. The TV/screen time/fun police, aka Mommy, is still in bed. Ahhh, vacation! |
 |
| Hudson had a lot more fun than what this looks like. No, DayDay, that is not how you put a baby to bed! |
 |
| If you could only have heard the shrieks of laughter coming from BOTH of these guys! |
 |
| Meanwhile, DohDoh enjoys a quite moment with this sweet boy |
 |
| Poor DohDoh, always having to hold the baby. We would feel bad for her if it wasn't for the content look on both their faces . . . Plus, cool shades must run in the family |
 |
| Hudson completely owned the kiddie pool |
 |
| And loved every minute |
 |
| . . . and every inch of the pool! |
 |
| A week at the beach wouldn't be complete without capturing some kind of wildlife. Here, DayDay and Hudson collect sand crabs. |
 |
| No monster truck left behind! |
 |
| Mommy dancing with her favorite Hudson on the beach. Doesn't get much better! |
 |
| "Mommy, dance with me like you usually do!" I love my little boy and his enthusiasm! |
 |
| The beach gets 2 thumbs up! |
 |
| Harrison, enjoying one of his favorite past times--eating. |
 |
| . . . And playing with Hudson's toys! |
 |
| DayDay is worn out and now participating in one of HIS favorite pastimes--afternoon napping. |
 |
| Christine is once again, a crowd favorite. |
 |
| So much so, that Hudson even gave her a private show. We can't wait for about 10 years from now when this picture will embarrass Hudson to death. |
 |
| This one too |
 |
| The view from our penthouse |
 |
| The 3 musketeers in the midst of a pirate story--DohDoh's specialty! |
 |
| Mr. Independent carrying his treasures back home |
 |
| Father-son nap |
 |
| YAASSS, time to eat again! |
 |
| I'm not sure that he is having a good time. |
 |
| Harrison could not be kept out of the ocean |
 |
| this place comes with a free arcade? AAAHHHMAZING |
Meanwhile, up in the condo . . .
 |
| DayDay looking at his fresh catch |
 |
| John and Christine help the boys dig a hole |
 |
| surveying the scene. |
 |
| He's supposed to be napping . . . |
 |
| But he's so damn cute |
 |
| And he knows how to turn me to mush. |
 |
| feast your eyes upon the last smocked outfit Hudson may ever wear. |
 |
| ice cream buddies |
 |
| We brought the cool home. |
 |
| Fun times at the pool once we got home |
 |
| Have you ever seen a cuter superman? |
 |
| ok, superMEN |
 |
| What do you mean I'm too young to drink coffee |
