The Aussie's are HERE!!!!!!

We have had such a blast with my sister (who lives in Australia) and her fam here with us! Her boys, Tommy and William are so wonderful...they are the sweetest, cutest things! Every now and then, they say something with a really clear Aussie accent...it is SOOO cute to hear the accent coming out of those little guys. We have had lots of dinners together and this past weekend we all headed to the coast together to celebrate Taylor's (my other nephew) birthday on the beach! It was so fun! Matty's first trip to the beach! The cousins just love Matthew...they want to hold him and carry him and feed him! Matty just smiles and giggles and goes with the flow.

Before I forget, check out the Dinner Delight link in our "links we love" - there are 2 great new recipe's. I made Beef Dilly a couple nights ago! OH MY GOSH - YUMMO! I was a huge skeptic, but Stacy always has good recipe's, so I thought I should try it...one of our favorite's!

Here are our pics of the weekend...


All the husband's...Scott (The Aussie), Johston, and Brian - and little Matty thrown in their just for fun


Matthew LOVES when we sing to him...here is Daddy singing the ABC's to him...he has the biggest smile and giggle! It's just priceless...


We took our new Bumbo seat to the beach! Matthew loves it. He can sit up and look around at everyone. He does not like laying down...loves sitting up and interacting with everyone. We took the seat to the beach, eating out, he sits on the coffee table at home so all the cousins can run around him and play with him...they love making him laugh! It's the greatest invention!


Here is Will and Matthew hanging out. William kept trying to share his food with Matty...maybe in a few years.
