Jonathon's Birthday

The kids and Birthday boy decided they wanted to start the morning off by opening the presents

An amazing women woke up early on Saturday morning and
 cooked up a incredible breakfast for everyone

Our good friend Kelly came over to watch the kids when we went out. when we got back the kids were so excited to give their daddy homemade bday cards. Thanks Kelly I totally forgot to help the kids do this.

My husband is a pretty easy man to buy for as long as it has an engine inside of it.
We went go karting together. so much fun.

Soon as we got home we loaded up the kids and went strawberry picking by our house.

I think we ate more then we picked because none of us were hungry for lunch

Birthday dinner . fajitas steak and chicken. yum yum

Jonathon's birthday cake. Topped with the strawberries we picked

Jonathon had alot of helpers to blow out his candles. He needed it there were a lot of candles. my old man now.
It was a very fun day and next Saturday we have Julianne's and Tanners Birthday party. Fun Fun. More to come

Bolsover Castle

Our First Castle

The weather finally warmed up here in England it felt like summer for about a week and now its cold again. While it was warm we decided to make the best of our Memorial Day weekend and see a castle. They where having a medieval event and it had so many fun activities for the kids. We decided to leave the stroller home on this trip and honestly it was the best decision ever. I don't know if anywhere is completely stroller friendly. It was honestly easier without it. This Castle was totally kid friendly and Fun for the family



such an amazing view



A whole room just full of sand for the kids to play in. It was inside. so nice to be out of the sun

He looks so big with all the armor on.

Watch out

Sheringham Beach

On June 5th so Tuesday my husband woke me up at 6am and told me that the weather is beautiful outside and if i wanted to go to the beach today is the day. He was so right i couldn't ask for a better more beautiful day. 60degrees but the sun was shining. Jacob is on break from school and I really wanted to do something fun with the kids. A negative about having your kids in British school is most holidays aren't the same as my husbands.
This was the 1st trip i have ever made by myself with the kids. It was only a 2 hour drive so not bad thank goodness for DVD players. 1 movie and we are there. I knew England was an island, but i never realized how close the coast really was. I am loving it more more here everyday. I wish it rained less but the sun is up from 4 am til 10pm and some might think that is a negative but We love how much we can get done in a day. I honestly wish it would stay like this.

He was so determined to get to the water
