Alex 4 years 1 month and Zach 20 months

This month didn't start out so great.  Alex landed in the hospital with a concussion.  Poor guy ended up on an IV but it helped him get better!  Then the highlight of the month was our trip to the beach with the Lonergan's and Pieper's!!  Fun to see all the kids together!

It was a minor fall but he must have hit his head in just the wrong spot.  He really freaked me out.  He kept acting like he wanted to go to sleep then he started throwing up so I'm glad we headed for the hospital!


This was after the IV and a Popsicle - feeling much better!

After a few days he was back to his normal helping self!!

Alex trying out for the Falcons.  Thankfully he just took a few snaps and didn't hit anything with his head!



Every year we look forward to the Soldiers Day Parade that is just right outside our neighborhood.

Several marching bands and of course the Kiwanis cars!


The next day we had a play date with some of the kids from Alex's class and thankfully there is a little girl around Zach's age.

The boys playing nicely!

Zach is starting to get into the iPad.  He only sits still for about a minute or so but he LOVES watching Thomas!

Fun in the water!
Yes I'm a complete over packer but thankfully my husband is a great organizer!!

We stopped by my cousin's beach house on the way to our beach house.  Zach had some fun snuggling up with his 2nd cousin once removed (or something like that), Chloe!

We had a great week at the beach with the Lonergan's and the Pieper's.  In true Mikos fashion the kids we sick at the end of the trip but they made the most of the first part of the trip!

Alex especially bonded with Olivia!  Not that I'm that surprised, he is always drawn to older females (like father, like son)!  :)

Ella, Olivia, Alex and Lukas.

Pete and Alex heading to the beach!

Zach's first time at the beach!  He was very excited about the sand!

He took a few steps and then played with the sand.  I told him to keep walking, he'd take a few steps then start playing with the sand, etc!!  He loved it!


His first foot in the ocean!  Not so excited about that at first!

Fun selfie at the beach!

Rare, brotherly love!

Cooking a little something, something at the beach!


Viva Mexico!  Uncle Luke had to make a quick trip to Mexico while on our vacation and he brought back these fun hats to celebrate his return!

Alex sitting next to Olivia of course!

And holding her hand!

Riding the Merry Go Round with Amalia on a HOT afternoon!

A decent family picture while on vacation.

Silly kids!




Alex hard at work!!  They did the roof on the house next to us and the kids sat out an watched them!  Alex figured his house needed a little fixing too!
