More cousins!!

After Jodee and her family left we had another round of cousins come through! Two of my sisters kids and my mom came up! We had a great time! Bob taught me over the weekend how to pull tubers so I had fun taking the kids out!
Henry rarely got a nap so by 6:30 he was usually out!





No matter how crisp the air felt these two were in the water!


Thomas really got the fishing thing down!


These two talked the entire weekend. At one point they were tubing and told me to slow down because they couldn't talk!
































Had to stop and get some peaches from Jaemore farm so why not get some ice cream too!


After a we sugared them up we stopped off in Gainesville, my moms hometown, and played at the gardens. These gardens are where my Great Aunts house use to be. The lady that owns it has made such a beautiful "sanctuary." The kids especially loved the rock that had been chiseled into a bird bath. The paths are great for running and playing hide and go seek!


Of course we had to stop by at the neighbors house for some candy and a ride in Jacks chair!

Cousin fun!

We celebrated Bob's birthday at the lake on Friday. On Saturday Bobs cousin Jodee and family came up to play. Henry loved having Emma around and Ansley and Lucy had a blast! Logan our nephew joined us for the weekend too which is always a blast!
The boys love helping daddy with the boats. In the picture below they are helping him lift it.


Henry fishing is a dock clearer!


The kids had a blast tubing. James decided to sit backwards and had to get out because he became sea sick:) Sometimes they have to learn the hard way. He recovered well and was back to a pink color instead of a white one within minutes.

Santa Rosa part 2

A couple more pictures of the beach! Henry and James found a hole... Kept them entertained for a while!




















Sometimes you need a timeout.


Love this arms and pouty lip. Thanks grandma for the photo shoot!

















Our view!!!!



Santa Rosa part 1

The kids and I headed to Santa Rosa with my parents for a 4 day party! The gulf was stormy so the waves were crazy. Now that I have kids I don't mind over cast days! We went from the pool to the beach at least twice a day. The kids did prefer the pool to the ocean but I was able to drag them down for a least an hour a day. Our condo was perfect for us. We overlooked a pond that was full of turtles and frogs. The kids loved exploring it! We could also see the ocean from the porch which was beautiful!

















First day at the beach and they are exhausted!





Grandma spent time teaching James to buggy board!











Left; Ansley's foot. Right: mine











The kids loved the fact that Grandma and Grandaddy jumped in to play!








Heading to the beach for an evening walk! Our last day at the beach was sunny and hot!
