Indie and her friends at her Girl party!!!

A day at Wakullah Springs, Florida

Happy Birthday Lex!

I cannot believe I have a ten year old! Where does the time go?? My little Lex, not so little any more! A whole decade, double digits...Wow. We are so blessed to have this sweetheart for a son. As much as he drives me crazy, but no more than any normal boy would. I sure do love and appreciate the heck outta him! He is always thoughtful and caring. And I kid you not every time I ask him to clean something up he does it~ without arguing! Just does it. Amazing! He is so easily pleased.. he excepts snuggles, hugs, a few minutes of alone time, and a good ole back tickle as payment for just about anything. He is also an awesome big brother and has no problem playing cars with Tadhg, Littlest Petshop or America Girl Dolls with Indie, or reading books to Olive or chasing her around the house. He loves animal, insects, and stuffed animals all alike and believes that if you hurt any of the above in any way you are abusing God's creations. (Lexie does that sound familiar??) What a great kid we have! Man, just thinkin about how awesome he is makes me feel bad for gettin so mad at him all the time...... I blame you Aaron for being such a pest to me when we were growing up. I get too many flash backs of how annoying you were! Thanks a lot, good thing you've changed ;)


This is what the boys call "snuggle time!"


We had Lex's party at the skate park this year. The kids had lots of fun. This is friend from school, Christofer, (girl)friend from church Isabella... I can't quite tell whether Indie liked her or not?? And Austin or nieghbor/friend. But Paul definitely takes the cake... peek~a~boo!

I didn't get very many good pictures before it started pooring rain! Bummer. But I'm sure I will get some more this summer when he goes back to use his awesome new skateboard Justin gave him for his bday!

If you click on this picture you can see Lex lookin right at Austin's feet And Indie looking at him like he done lost his monkey mind!!




Here is a couple random pictures of Olive that I just couldn't resist posting for obvious reasons! She is a nut! She kept bugging me or Paul to put the goggles on her so finally Paul put them on her and she was just walking around the house like that. Then the other day she came around the corner with a baby dolls shirt on her head and a purse in hand. She sure is a funny little goober!

Daytona Beach

I have so many pictures to post it is ridiculous!! And sadly I find myself on a anti-blog kick. I just have so much going on this week and not enough time in the day! I am going to do put up more pictures than I probably should right now but OH WELL!
Last week Naunie and Grampa let us use their condo in Daytona beach and I was THE BEST EVER!!! It was so awesome we can't even describe it to it's full capacity. Does that sound great or what?

We left last Wednesday and stayed until Saturday. I don't think we have ever stayed any where that long that wasn't in a tent or at my moms! Thursday morning we woke up and saw dolphins of the balcony. Awesome!!








There was a lazy river to float around and it was a blast the kids could have stayed in ther fro hours!

Daddy giving Lex the ole' heeve-ho!



Ok, you know the post with Olive and the bubble bath?? Well, she also has a fear of the beach. She screamed so much and so loud that she literally lost her voice! She went absolutely crazy. It was sad, madding, and slightly embarrasing! People were probably wondering if I was really her mom or if I had snatched her up some where. I just held her and let her cry for a while then took her to the pool and she loved that. But every time she would see Paul in the ocean she would just cry and yell "daddy, daddy!" That was pretty sad. We aren't sure if it was the unknown of the beach that scared her or if it was the bubbles the water would make when the waves would crash. She also feaked out at the kiddy pool. It had a playground in the middle of it and water falling every where from all sorts of things. Also at the water that would come off the slide. And then she would cry when Paul would blow bubbles with his gum! Now that is just weird! Any ways she finally got used to the beach friday and she was able to have some fun before we left. All my beach photos are on my other card that I have to get burned on to a CD so those pics will be here soon!




When we got back from or pizza dinner we played some games and hung out. Tadhg was so tired he fell asleep during the prayer!

There will be more pics to come since I have so stinkin many! But that should do it for tonight. A HUGE thanks to naunie and grampy for hook us up! It was so good to get away and so much fun to stay at the condo. You guys are the stinkin best!!!
