beach

i've been soaking up some serious family time.  we've been at the beach and it's been wonderful.  our first trip was with jordan's family.  here is a peek at our time together:

anna michael and cole- she is six days older then her best buddy.  they are quite the pair.

my three little loves

cousins....lots of them :)

when the summer comes to an end we have cover the ages of 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 1! 
These adorable shirts came from my friend, nikki at a very bright design!

we had beach dance parties

and super heroes running from the waves.

seriously......i love this face.

pirate will & katie j

grammy and papa with all of their grandbabies

the next trip started with the five of us

we watched a man catch this little fishy.......this people is why i don't like swimming in the ocean.  

the boys entered a hula hoop contest! 

we fed sea gulls

my mama joined us later in the trip.  grandma brought an endless supply of "slushy money"

and this guy and i got to go on a date.  a good friend of jordan's got married  ,
he was a groomsman in our wedding 8 years ago, tomorrow. 

so after that long vacation i'm feeling very grateful for this sweet family of mine.
