Florida with Grandma and Grandpa

Hi! It's me, Cohen! I was so excited that my Grandma and Grandpa could come with us on our vacation to Florida. I had so much fun with them! Here are some pictures.









Swimming with Grandpa!

Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for hangin' out with me!

2 Years

2 years ago today I married my best friend. We are still so in love and are so excited about spending the rest of our lives together. We didn't buy each other anything today..we made cards for each other, which means more to me than anything money can buy. I have a lot of pictures from our special day, but here are some...











Love, 
Katie

Our Weekend: Hurricane and Giant Pixie Stix

It was quite the exciting weekend. The main part of Hurricane Irene passed through our area (I think for us it was actually a tropical storm) around 3 am this morning, but the rain and wind started Saturday around 3 pm. We didn't have any damage around our area besides some trees knocked over and lots of branches that fell. We didn't even lose power, which is very surprising. Usually we lose power during a regular storm. We were very thankful that everything was ok! Today was beautiful out. It was sunny, warm and still a bit breezy. We went to run some errands, but the grocery store had a power outage. Every store in the same strip mall did not have power, but somehow Target (in the same strip mall) was still open. I guess they used some emergency lighting and some sort of power source. We shopped in the dim light, but got what we needed. Anywho...I am pretty sure that Cohen was a fan of the hurricane. What do you think?


Here's a video from the hurricane in the middle of the night...not a very good video, but I just like the ending! :)


So this weekend, Cohen started doing this tongue rolling thing. I don't know why, but he does it often. Here's a video.


And the giant pixie stix. (Yes, Hannah and Tyson...Dan still hasn't eaten it!) He was a huge fan of it this weekend. Dan was calling him our little "baton twirler". Haha. He kept bringing it everywhere with him and hitting everything with it.


Here's a video that Dan took when he was playing with Cohen while Mom was at Zumba.


And some pictures....




 Getting lost in Dad's hat...


I put him in his Bumbo chair...haha..he looks so big!


 Cohen threw Dad's hat..and then helped get it...

 Got it!


During the Hurricane...

Cruise Ships

One of our favorite things about going to Cocoa Beach/Port Canaveral is seeing the Cruise Ships go out to sea. We walked to the beach to find these two already pretty far out there. So we waited and took some pictures...













And then we looked over and saw the Disney Cruise Ship! It is so fun to see, and I love that it looks like it is sitting on the shore. It's kind of funny. We were a little jealous that they were all just starting their vacation and ours was ending, but it was still fun to see!
