Family Vacation 2009

Several months ago we started talking about taking a family vacation. The Rouses' and The Fords' were the only families that went to Orange Beach, AL. We had a great time, but wished that all of us could have gone.

On Olivia's birthday we all went on a Dolphin Cruise. When we got back to the dock, some fisherman had caught this 106 lb. Bull Shark.
The kids goofed around all week saying they were checking out guys or girls on the beach. Did you buy your tickets to the gun show?

Have you seen my beach ball? It's thiiiiisssssssss big!

Codie, Ceceley, Olivia, and Jackson have fun catching some waves!Jonathan and Tony just couldn't wait to get to the beach! They had to work on their tan lines!

Codie and Ceceley buried Olivia in the sand.

Easter 2009

Although everyone wasn't able to attend Easter at Granny's this year, those of us who did had a wonderful time. Some of us just enjoyed getting to visit with each other, some enjoyed horseback riding, and others enjoyed it all.

Granny's Climbing Tree

Ceceley, Codie, Keaton, Alexis, Jackson, Olivia, Connor and Trent Logan

At some point or another we have all taken a climb in this tree and it is still going strong. Keaton absolutely loves going to Granny's because of this tree. Climbing is one of his favorite things and this is just about the only opportunity he has to climb a tree. Hopefully it will continue to bring joy to generations to come.

Kacie Turns 27!

Kacie turned 27 on March 12th. We celebrated her birthday with hamburgers and hotdogs at Daddy's on the 13th. She received lots of cards and some very pretty flowers.

The London Eye Ferris Wheel in London, England

This is one of the pods on the London Eye ferris wheel...24 people could ride in one pod...you can see about all of London from up in there! Branden and the Jenkins family rode on this while they visited London! I don't think I would make it up that high! But what a view!

March 10, 2009

I got to babysit Brody Friday night...We had a ball. Saturday morning we went outside to play. He found this pile of wood and decided to climb around for awhile!

England photos-trial

New kid on the block!

I finally made it in here! Have been downloading lots of photos from Branden's trip to England...as soon as I learn how to get them in here, I will post some...
Josh & Deena had their last basketball game Monday night....they had a rough season...and are ready for a much-deserved rest! Brody is getting more and more independent...cannot believe how much he changes from week to week when we get to visit him....
Make this short for now...will learn more later about how to do things!

Can you believe the weather?

The weather today was great! After church we spent most of our day outside. The kids played ball and spent some time playing with our new dog, Killer. Killer was Branden's dog. Since he is in England, we took Killer in as our new dog.

Today's weather makes me anxious for spring!

Christmas 2008

I am a little late in posting about Christmas, but I scrapbooked pictures last night so I thought I would make a post. Here is our family picture at Granny's house on Christmas Eve. We have a great time each year getting together with everyone. My kids like it as much as I do. I will always cherish our family moments like these.
