Beach!!!

We went to the beach today for at least four hours. It was between 59 and 64 degrees!!! So so so cold!!! :( We all got in except my relatives! It was funny because after we got out we would all dry off then put our jackets on!!! :) :) I had loads of fun though and I'm really really glad that I went even though I almost froze to death!!!

Tanaya pointing to the water. She loved the water and the sand. It was her first time at the beach!!!

Abby and Alaina were so happy that they did some dancing!

Ariel and her baby loving the beach !!!

This is what my cousins did at the beach!!! :(

Life today...

Today we went to visit my grandma. We didn't stay longer than an hour because we had to get to a restaurant before 3pm or we would miss their lunch menu. The kids sang her some songs. It was really cute!!

                                                                                          

Today is Nathan and Abby's anniversary!!! Happy Anniversary!!! :) We got some really cute pictures of them before we left for grandmas...

Since I was in the picture taking mood (whenever am I not?) I went ahead and took pictures of Ari and David and Ayala and Stephen.

My mom got some pictures of her five girls...

My cousin Amanda does this poof in her hair all the time...she converted Abby!! :)

Morgan and Gavin had fun climbing a tree and Tristan and Jaden wouldn't stop screaming!!!

Jaden drew this today on the way to grandmas of a monkey in the jungle...

We took up a lot of room at the restaurant...

After we ate a really late lunch, we went to Lake Jesup to go alligator hunting. The only problem was that it was too dark to see anything so we couldn't tell if there were any around. :( We did have fun calling them though. Once when Alaina was calling them one answered back. She was so excited and decided that her new career was going to be alligator calling!!! :)

I took a ton more pictures today but don't really have time to post them all. Tomorrow we are going to the beach so I'll try to get on tomorrow night to post the pictures I get there.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Life in Florida!!! :)

Today was lazy day! We watched TV, went on a walk, sat around, made Thanksgiving dinner, and went to Rock Springs.

Life on the way to Florida!!! :)

I'm in Florida with relatives for Thanksgiving! The past few days of my life have been as hectic as hectic gets!! No kidding. Between cleaning a house for eight hours straight by myself, setting off an alarm in the house, traveling for 17 hours in a cramped van, packing, and volunteering I've never had a moment to myself! (I guess that's good though.)

The ride here was...well, I guess I'll let the pictures talk for themselves...:)

      

At times the traffic was awful and we crawled along at 10mph!

The scenery wasn't that wonderful either!!

 

I took this as we passed it around 6pm.

The music was wonderful!!! :)

 

There was this crazy couple that we saw at one of our stops....guess who?!?

Tristan is just as cute as ever!!!

Abby made these multi-grain cheerio crispy treats for her kids to eat in stead of the normal rice crispy treats. She made it up one day when she ran out of rice crispys!

Jaden and Tanaya were really cute the whole way here! There were a few screaming and nashing of teeth moments but all in all they were good...

Ariel did good on the ride here for the most part. Towards the end her back was killing her though. I can't imagine traveling for 17 hours being pregnant!!

The stops for meals were fun!

There was this one rest stop that we stopped at that was like fall all over again! It was great because in Memphis we didn't really have a fall! :(
