Adorable Pics

Here are some cute pics of the girls recently. Enjoy!

Beach Time

Here are some really great pics of us at the beach. The ones of Bryden are awesome, she is so photogenic, and Jim did a great job of getting her to laugh for quite a while so I could snap some nice photos! There is also a picture of Emerson's first time in the sand...she didn't even wake up to enjoy the sand in her toes and diaper, I mean really now!!! Maybe next year! Enjoy!

Florida Family Fun

On the way up to Orlando to go to Sea World, we stopped in to see Jim's Memere and Pepere, who come down to Florida for the winter months. They got to meet little Emerson, and see how big Bryden is getting!

Great Memere and Pepere and the girls. All their children are girls (3), all their grandchildren are boys (6) and great grands are girls (just 2). Strike a pose Bryden!

Florida for Spring Break

Off to Florida again for Spring Break! Naples is such a retreat for our family, we look sooooo forward to it every year. We get to spend great quality time together as a family and extended family, we have fun, play hard, and relax even harder. Who knew doing nothing could be so tiring! Here are some cute pics of the past couple days. We are off to Sea World and to visit Great Memere and Pepere near Orlando over the next couple days, so check back for Shamu pics! Enjoy!

Weekend Fun

We found out Saturday night that Busch Gardens opened this weekend, so we decided to surprise Bryden on Sunday and take her to the park for the day. She has been asking ALL winter to go to Busch or Water Country, so we didn't tell her where we were going, we just told her to get dressed, that we had a surprise for her. Her eyes lit up and she had a huge smile when we got off the exit and she saw the roller coasters and realized where we were! AND, ever since she rode a smaller roller coaster up in Maine, she has wanted to be big enough to go on a big coaster, and guess what???? She was!!! She got to ride The Big Bad Wolf at 3 1/2 years old! Incredible! She wasn't scared at all, she really had an awesome ride, but she did say it was a little bumpy for her (it was a bit of a rough ride), so we only rode it once. We are crazy proud of her for going on and being such a big girl! I am so excited to have a roller coaster buddy now! Daddy gets the low flying rides (heights and Jim don't go really agree...) and Mommy gets the coasters!!! Enjoy the pics!

Good morning precious girls!

We haven't invested in a double stroller yet, so this is the best we can do! Good thing Emmy is still just a little bit!

This was a warm up for the Big Bad Wolf!

Up, up and away in my beautiful balloon!

It's GO time!
