Its definitely been a busy few months for our family, and me personally. Between Junior League commitments, my steady cake business, car-pooling the kids around, trying to keep food in the fridge and dinner on the table...I'm exhausted and ready for a vacation! Oh right...we had one... The second week of May our little family went on an Eastern Caribbean cruise (with stops in Nassau, St. Thomas US VI, and St. Marten.) As much as I'd love to post pictures of that adventure on here...for some reason blogger won't let me add any more pictures than the ones below. So...if you are my "friend" on facebook - all the pictures are there. The cruise was incredible though, the kids were very well behaved, and we all had a blast! In fact, for almost the first 30 minutes after getting off the ship, Kendall cried because she didn't want to leave. Neither did I!!! (who would...all you can eat ice cream and pizza's 24/7????)
Beyond that big adventure, we have gone to Disney the end of February/first of March with my folks, then to their house in Jacksonville over Memorial Day weekend. Now that summer is officially here (at least with the kids being out of school), my goal each day is not to lose my mind and try to keep the kids entertained. Tall order....
Here are just a few pictures of our last few months:
Memorial Day weekend we went to the beach. One of the first time's we've done so when it was nice and hot outside...and the kids had a ball!!!! I really hope we get an opportunity to go to the beach every time we are in Jax - the kids were fearless of the ocean! Which is more than I can say for myself...I'm still a mid-westerner at heart and really only like lakes and rivers (those in the mid-west that don't have gators in them at least...)
Carson just LOVES LOVES LOVES his Grandpa! Here - Grandpa was starting to play with some airplanes that Gma and Gpa had gotten him.
On Sunday we went to the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine. So much cooler than I remember!!! Could be that I'm looking at it from the eyes of my 4 & 2 year old now... but still tons of fun!!!
On one of our MANY trips to Cracker Barrel (one of Kendall's favorite restaurants), I caught a few pictures of the kids in a rocking chair. Boy...are they growing up fast....
At the end of February/first of March, Jeff had a meeting in Orlando - so Mom and Dad met us down there and we made a weekend of it. Jeff had to work the whole weekend...but Mom and Dad and the kids and I played at Disney! :)
Kendall acting like she is holding a bouquet of flowers...have I mentioned that she is a drama queen??? I guess this is so in more ways than one...
Grandma and her boy!
One of the things the kids and I like to do on days where there isn't much going on at home, is to go on long walks. Like 2-3 miles minimum...2 hour long walks. Mainly because, though, the kids like to stop and see things along the way... Here are a few pictures from one of our walks:
As said in almost every previous post of the last 6 months...I will try to be more diligent about posting pictures and stories. Can I possibly reach the goal of once a week??? Hmm...I'll try....
