Beach with the Baker's

My cousin and her family went and stayed at the beach for a week...

so, we packed up our family and headed down for a night. 

We had alot of fun going to the zoo, playing on the beach and swimming at the indoor pool. 

Have ya'll ever heard of a "Zee-Donk Zonkey?!" 

Well folks, let me tell you...it's a zebra and donkey mixed and we saw one for the first time ever.

It looked alot like a donkey but with brown and white stripes. Pretty crazy, huh?! We thought so.

 Wouldn't you know....my husband was just standing there and got pooped on!! Lol

I took this picture of Brayden when we left the zoo. 

I don't think he could have stuck his lip out any further. You can tell this baby is teething.

After the zoo, we ate lunch and headed to the beach.

 {Below: Braxton was too funny crawling on the beach. 

He didn't want his knees touching the sand. I managed to get a video of it.}

We're learning to feed ourselves...

And we make a mess!!

 These two are independent and do NOT want us feeding them.

They want to feed themselves.

 So, we give them a spoon and let them have at it....

 and then to the tub they go!!

Small Group Cookout

Several weeks ago, we got together with all our friends from small group for a cookout.

It was sooo good seeing everyone.

 Our group has grown alot. 

We have several new babies...

 including ours. :0)

 As you can tell, Brayden and Bailey loved being able to run loose.

 {Below: I love this picture. Brayden squatting down. 

He randomly does this and it's the cutest thing. 

No, he wasn't pooping. Lol 

I think we might have us another catcher!!}

 Wait up, Daddy!

Bug & Bubbles

{These pictures are from a couples weeks ago.}

Brayden and Bailey found a little bit of water in their play table outside.

They thought they were something splashing the water. Lol

Brayden spotted out his first bug!

{Bailey found her first bug a few weeks prior to this. 

I quickly got her away and told her not to mess with it. Lol}

 The bug from afar.

The bug as it got closer....

Brayden was a little unsure.

Brayden and Bailey's newest love: BuBbLeS!!!!

 Of course, everything that's round to Brayden has been considered a ball...but, it didn't take long for him to learn balls, bubbles and balloons. :)' He'll still call some things "a ball" if it's round. Bailey has recently started LOVING balls too. They both always have to have one in each hand.

 They love their bubble machine. That 'thing can sure spit the bubbles out.

Brayden realized that same day that he could pull one of his toys around. Brandon and I were sooo excited when we saw him walking around the house doing this. {Oh, it's the little things!!} :)'
