Shaz by the Sea

It feels like yesterday the top photo was taken - Conor and Caden were just seven weeks old and we were partying in the Cape like we were 22 years old. Fast-forward one year and the boys are now approaching 14 months. What a year. We had such a blast this year down the Cape and it was awesome that C-Squared were sleeping through the night. Ha - I must say, that definitely made this year a bit more enjoyable. ;)   Honestly - I am so grateful for all the amazing friends and memories we have made over these last NINE years celebrating in Cape Cod . I blogged about our trip last year . And next year will be the tenth annual Fourth of July bash down the Cape...I cannot believe it! Jim and I were talking about how each year different fun things happen - yet the same traditions do too (i.e. upside down margaritas, crazy sunburns, pasta salad, flunkyball, etc). I think we need to find something unique and festive for next year. Let's see who can come up with the next tradi...

I want to start this post off by celebrating the accomplishments of the Supreme Court on June 26, 2015 . They ruled that gay marriage is now a constitutional right. That means that marriage is now legal for EVERYONE nationwide...something that should have happened years ago, but it happened and it's great. #lovewins Here are a few fun fav pics of Caden and Conor this past week! They are finally feeling healthy and happy again. And most importantly, sleeping fully through the night. ;) Mama is feeling a bit more human now that we are all getting more sleep. I thought they may have had ear infections or bronchitis, but the doctor said they were ALL GOOD! Great news. We found the boys a swingset on craigslist and my Dad is sanding and staining it. Thanks GRAMPA!!!! :):):) We were originally going to bring it down to Cape Cod, but now we think it might be better to keep it at our primary house - whenever we buy one. :)  Ha, look at Cay reaching for Con. We love ...

Happy Father's Day to my Dad, my husband, my Father in Law and my Grandfathers...and all the other wonderful Dads out there!! Being a parent is definitely not easy, and having multiples hasn't been a piece of cake either. Jim has been the most amazing Dad to Conor and Caden this past year. We are the luckiest. Daddy is so fun and the boys beam with excitement when he gets home from work each night. They are so thrilled to see him. Here are a couple favorite pics of Jim and the boys....and also a few highlight pics of the boys with my Dad, Jim's Dad, and my Grampa Hancock. We love DADDY!!! Here's Jim and the boys at 1 month and then 4.5 months...Conor left, Caden right in both pics. Here's a pic when Gramps met the boys last summer. Both baby B's are on the left! And Conor and Daddy are on the right. Grampa and C Squared last month in Woburn. Who's who? ;) Gramps and C-Squared on the Cape Memorial Day Weekend 2015. ...

What a fantastic weekend we had on Cape Cod. We had the most beautiful weather! Mid 70s and sunny...perfect beach weather. Look at my little lifeguards! The boys were much healthier than last weekend during the triathlon, but they do have a cold right now. They are getting used to all the germs at daycare. Their little noses were so runny all weekend. I thought maybe they had some allergies, but this morning when they woke I could definitely tell they have a cold. I have every other Monday off, so thankfully I'm here with them today. Here's a fun recap of our weekend at the beach! We were lucky enough to visit a few beaches in both Hyannis and Dennis. They liked it a lot. We are getting them used to it for the summer ahead. Conor LOVED the water and Caden was a little unsure what to make of it. They are so different. Caden is usually a bit more adventurous so I thought for sure he would love it. But as they always keep me on my toes, it was CONOR who loved it!!! He co...

A BIG congrats to Jim, Theresa, and Lindsey for completing their first triathlon in Hyannis last weekend!!! The weather wasn't perfect, but all three of them killed it. They also had smiles at the finish line and throughout the day - which means an overall successful event. CONGRATS!!! And a huge thank you to the Boschs, the Macombers, and the Phelans for coming down the Cape and supporting everyone in the rain! Prior to the triathlon on Saturday, Aunties Chrissy and Lindsey brought the boys to Cape Cod on Friday while Daddy was traveling for work and mommy was working in the city. What a huge help.  Unfortunately, Conor and Caden were coming down with quite a severe cold/sickness and were not themselves. They were quite cranky (understandably since Mama now has the same thing). Auntie Chrissy and Linds were such troopers and took great care of C and C. Mama drove down the Cape right after work on Friday and everyone prepped for the big race Saturday. On S...
