Beach Trip 2011

Doesn't this place look like paradise? Yea, it was. We just got back from a week in Florida with my family. It was a WONDERFUL week. The best part wasn't the beach though but spending time with my family. I miss them so much already. Here are a billion pictures for you to see our adventures of the week. Don't worry, I have round two coming tomorrow. ;-)
They had a water mushroom that the kiddos loved!

Don't those cheeks look juicy?
Grandpa loved playing with the babies. They loved it too!

Aunt Amanda is super mom! She can do it all, seriously!
This is my nephew, Jacob. He has the brightest eyes I've ever seen.




Gotta have some kissin' on the beach! Josh and I got engaged here four years ago.



I love her!


Classic pool picture. How many more years do you think Josh and Anna can do this?
I just think Anna looks so sweet in this picture.



David got buried in the sand and loved it!
Little beauty queen!

Round two to come soon!

Family Pics

Here are a few pictures we took of our family a few days ago. Enjoy!

They Got Hitched

As I mentioned earlier, my brother got married last week. We are all so happy for Bryan and his new, sweet wife. We love her and are so excited to have her in the family. Her are just a few pics from their big day.

A Day at the Lake

This is Andrew's face saying,"Where have you been?" It feels like we haven't blogged in a million years. We are currently vacationing in Georgia with my family. My brother, Bryan, got married last week so we came down for the wedding and some relaxing fun times. I have about one billion wedding pictures to post and one billion blogs to catch up on so watch out. They're coming soon!
Yesterday, we took the kids down to my Grandma's dock and went on the raft with Anna. It was really fun. Here are a few pics to document the occasion.
Anna got all geared up, sunglasses and all.

I sat on the grass with Andrew while Josh and Anna floated around. We switched off a couple of times so we could both do it. The weather could not have been more perfect.

Just before setting sail... ;-)

Granny even took a turn with Andrew. Don't they look cute? She calls him "Chunk-Chunk," and rightly so.

Cougars, Cougars, Cougars!!

Anna is braver than I am. She jumped in the lake with her daddy! She was a little scared at first but really liked it by the end. She definitely didn't get her courage from me.

Cute!

We put the float on the dock for a minute and Andrew had a ball. This was his way of participating in our family outing.

He was totally into this little loop. We could barely pry him away.

Anna kept calling the lake "dirty water." She could not be more correct. The lake is really muddy but really fun too.

It was a GREAT day!

Anna loves to sing!

Anna now insists she sing on her own when we put her down at night. Here are two really cute videos. The first one is "Families Can Be Together Forever" and the second is "I am a Child of God." We sure do love this girl.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone! Josh and I just barely got to spend Easter together. I spent this past week with my family in Georgia. I was scheduled to fly home on Saturday but the St. Louis airport got hit by a tornado. The whole airport was closed because there was so much damage. I didn't know how long it would take but I ended up going home the next day. It was great to see my family. My little brother, who isn't so little any more, returned from his mission in Merida, Mexico. It was wonderful to see him and get to spend a few days with him. I have about one BILLION pictures from that trip but they are all at home in Georgia, so you'll just have to wait.

When we walked in the door from the airport, Josh had our Easter string all ready for us. Anna grabbed her spool and went at it. She thought it was super fun and loved finding the chocolate at the end.

She's trying to wind through the maze of Easter string.

Andrew was jealous of Anna's Easter basket. It is so much fun having kids on holidays. It makes it so much more fun.

Andrew wanted to get started on that candy right away!

Happy Easter everyone!
