Brooks' First Day of First Grade!

My Sweet boy is growing up!

Brody's First Day of Pre-School!

All smiles and super excited about the Day!!

Such a cool guy!

Brooks loved his first day...and

is ready for the new challenge!

Brody was so excited to stay 

for his "Lunch Bunch" today with his friends!!

We gotta keep it Silly!

My little Mike is such a silly

little guy! Brody goes 3 days a week

now for school...but he really misses Brooks 

on his off days! When we dropped Brooks at school

on the first day, Brody looked at me and said...

"Now what am I going to do mommy?" 

The Best Buddies Ever!!!

Brooks loved the sign on the door

that said ... "Welcome Buckaroos!"

That is what his Sonny calls him!!

The Organization....are you kidding me!

Brooks' Teacher and I could be best friends!!

Yes! Happy Organized Ready Students Everyday!!

Miami Beach 2012

 The Pepin Family 

is off to Miami Beach 

to spend some quality time with our Sonny and Meme

in style at the Grand Beach Hotel in Miami Beach!

We had a super fantastic time!

Sonny treated us like the Royal Family!

Let's just say "Room Service" has 

a whole new meaning to my boys!

They are just like their mom!!

The Grand Beach Hotel
was quite a special spot!
It is definitely a whole other world of delight!
My dad is still my hero!!
To know my dad is to be inspired!!

Yes, that is my shadow...I just follow 

these little men all over the beach!

The Beach is one of my most favorite happy spots!

And these boys...well, they are my love!

As for Miami Beach...need I say more!

The boys had an absolute blast 

morning, noon, and night at this Grand Beach!!

Opps, Brody got his clothes all wet!

"Roar!" It is all good and fun!!

It doesn't get better than this!!

This Beach Mission was not about the

Shells...as you can see it was about

as many Beach Rocks as we could find!

And we found at least 50 Rocks a day!

Oh boy! I am sure most of the Rocks 

will be waiting for us...on our next visit!!

Brooks was fascinated with

the East Coast of Florida and the Atlantic Ocean!

It is rough....and so different from our West Coast of Florida!

Brody had such a great time at the Beach!

Always playing with his Best Friend Brooks!

The Ocean was so Turquoise!

The Boys played on the Beach for hours!

My Sweet Handsome Boy!

Happiest little man I know!!

And just making this place their home!

I love this guy so much!

So relaxed and enjoying the Grand Beach Hotel!

We had such a great relaxing vacation 

in Miami Beach! We are truly blessed!

Thank you Sonny for treating 

us so special! You are right there in your element!!

Sonny is a Rock Star!

We look forward to our next visit to Miami Beach!
