Maya's birthday

This year we had another birthday party on the beach for Maya. but we could drive to this beach. It was a nice afternoon . Jana had put together a treasure hunt for the kids that took them all over town. They loved the surprises. After that we had dinner and cupcakes by the fire. Liam and Lily spent hours filling there pockets with crabs. While Maya used her new swiss army knife to shave off wood for her first attempt at lighting a fire.

Now a little about Sydney. This little girl is growing up real fast this week. She is becoming quite the character. She learned how to put two words together...like "my bowl" or "bye mom" or "no Bee (her name for Liam)" There is some words she can't say..like lily and liam and Shannon. But she tries or makes up another name for them. She could say Ben quite good..but not shannon....so we taught her to call shannon "Ben's Mommy" it worked..and she (plus all the other kids) giggle away.. fun stuff. Who knows what she will learn next week.
