Family Vacation

Hi there! I don't even know where to start.... Ben and Mia turned 1 over a month ago, and I'm just getting around to posting! August on the whole was pretty eventful, they turned 1 on the 9th, and then we went to Minnesota for two weeks to visit my hubby's family, which was so much fun and flew by way too quickly.
Now I have to apologize in advance for the picture overload that is about to happen... See, I took over a thousand pictures, and my sister in law arranged for a photographer to come and do family pictures as a gift. She gave us EVERY picture on a cd (just about 500), so narrowing down my favorites has been a chore!
Here goes....

Sibling Love...

  

Mmmmm cake...

Don't mind if I do....

We took a TON of family pictures. I really want to get one framed, as we currently don't have any family pictures up in the house- crazy, I know.  I have finally narrowed it down to two, and am stuck again. Which do you like???????????

This one I like the colors, myself and Ben...

And this one I like my hubby and Mia....

And now some of my favorites from my camera!

The milk drinking spot...

Fun at the pool

Quality time

Goofballs!

First boat ride (they were NOT amused with the life jackets!)

And a few of my faves 

It's sad that we don't really have any family close by, but then again, it's so much fun to have an excuse to take a vacation!
