mommy showed reiken the itsy bitsy spider a couple of weeks ago. didn't think he'd remember, but when his favorite chi thuc came over, he actually did it for her...
this is a tad late, but mommy just wanted to take a few mins to say thank you to everyone for all of the bday wishes, fun gifts and extra pampering this year... oh and to top it off, 5 bday cakes! from cheesecake - to fruitcake - to red velvet - to mocha - to chocolate liqueur.... mommy got to have every delishush flavor out there, mmmm mmmmm mmmmmm! yup, rmd got to savor each and every single one of them as well - and he now knows the bday song pretty well to top it off! WOW, what more can a girl and her lil man ask for!! XOX
rmd got to play with his fishees while daddy was trying to clean out the lil tank. here he is being extra gentle, at times:
then for the crab boil, rmd helps us make the stock. he's quite the helpful lil man... mommy plans to have him cooking rice by the time he's 8.. hehe =)
learning body parts... a tad distracted, he points out some of his body parts.
we got to take rmd's first real vacation to destin this past weekend. ok, mommy had to work a few hours but at least we were all "officially on vacation". it was a much needed break.
rmd got to hang out with his buddies joshua, hunter and dominic - who is now designated honorary big bro. rmd had such a good time! destin was hot but the water was oh so nice - there were a few tiny jellyfish here and there but the sting wasn't so bad. besides the jellyfish and the rude TPT lady at the beach taking our umbrella right from under us - it wasn't too bad at all. there was a lot of hanging out at the beach, then the pool, eating, sleeping & then more eating... then repeat everyday after that... it was a great time! the beach is as pretty as everyone said - definitely the whitest & finest sand we've seen... just like sugah!
today, when mommy asked rmd if he missed the beach... he just looked up with his puppy dog eyes and nodded his head up and down "yes"... *sigh* ... ok, mommy is convinced... we will have to go back one day soon!
here's a recap in pix:
we flew into new orleans so our first stop was of course cafe du monde... beignets and lots of powdered sugar...
a muffaletta at serio's deli (featured on fn's throwdown)... look at the size of them things - and that was only the half-order!
then onto the acme oyster house for chargrilled oysters.. yum...
finally in destin, we headed to the beach for some fun...
typical breakfast mornings in our pj's...
early sunrise at the beach... and i mean early... it was only about 6:30 am in these pix!
poolside fun...
even had our own seafood grill the last night ... grilled shrimp, snow crab legs, and our own chargrilled oysters... so yummmy...
oysters out of season? not so much here... thanks co kayla for shucking all 45lbs! so scrumptous - both the raw & the grilled ones!
ahhhh, this is the life...
here are some videos: crunchin ice on the beach...
