Florida Baby!!



Beaches, sunshine, the best Seafood ever, the pool....we couldn't ask for a better vacation, well, unless I left my kids at home....Just kidding all. I love my kids, really! And they loved the trip!

We all dressed in white and khaki and took some pics on the beach. We HAD to do it, everyone does it, right?




Brenden can NOT take a normal picture!


















Check out the man in the corner!!




At night, we would go crab hunting. Austin LOVED this! Those little critters were so fast, and so white, and I was the only one without a flashlight!
Can you see the crab??











Jeff and I had fun too! We rode this rip cord thing and loved it!

Austin's Surgery

This is a little late...but I wanted to put up some pics of Austin on his big surgery day! Thanks to all who prayed for him last month!

We had to be at the hospital at 5:30 am!


Before the surgery, Austin past the time by playing on Jeff's iphone. This was before the loopy medicine. After he got that, I wish I would have taken video, except I was too worried. He was pretty funny!


AFTER....

He woke up immediately, but didn't feel very good. His throat hurt from the tube and he was nauseous.


Popsicles made him feel way better!

We brought him home that day. He didn't like the fact that he couldn't do anything all day but play his DS and watch movies...that sounds like a perfect day for me, but to Austin it was torture! The first day was hard, but after that his recovery went well!

Have I been kicked out of the blog club yet??? My excuses haven't changed so I will spare you. But I do have a new respect for a mother of 4 because 3 kids are about to do me in :) That being said...here are some pictures of that 3rd child, taken by the amazing photographer Katie!

Austin's 6th Birthday!!
I cannot believe it he is getting soo big!! Although, he still asks me on a regular basis to "cuddle" with him, so luckily he is still my baby! Here is one his first birthday.....





And now...


Austin and Jacob! I love watching these two together!!





We went bowling with just the family (& Jacob) afterwards!


Brenden was so funny! He would celebrate everytime, he hit just even one pin!




Austin did some celebrating himself...


A 103 baby! What's up now??? (that's what Austin is thinking..)



Brenden was so funny watching him carry this big ball down the lane and roll it! He ONLY fell twice :)

Casen's Photoshoot with Mandi
Mandi always does such an amazing job of capturing those sweet moments in life that I don't want to forget. These are from his 3 month session and boy is he cute, if i do say so myself!
