One Day...

I'm thinking that these pictures will come in handy for a slide show one day.  

Oh, and look.  She finished a pear.

Day at the Beach

On such a cold winter day, I figure it's a good time to look at pictures of our day at the beach last summer.  :)

We stopped at Fort Pickens for a quick "Photo Studio by Mommy".  The background is just awesome there.  Too bad the kids were into making faces.  Between Mom's, Jenny's, and my cameras all going though, we did get some excellent shots!

 Sibling Love

 Huh?!?!

 Silly Little Miss!

 That's it!  That's the one!  I'm gonna frame it...

 My deep thinker has my heart...  :)

 See?!  They DO love each other!  

 I'm sorry, what?  Were you saying something to me?

 I love the wrinkles on his forehead.  What a honey!

 A big chunk of my heart is always in Pensacola with these two!  LOVE!

Isaiah and Mallory (and Tim and me, too!) were so super excited to swim in the Gulf.  It turns out Isaiah is a little fish who can't get enough of being in the water, and Mallory is the Queen of Sand Castles!

More Fort Pickens...the hundreds of pictures on my computer are severely disorganized.  Oh well!

 PawPaw!  :D

Oh, how we could float and swim all day...sigh...  This looks amazing looking at these today.  Especially since we woke up to a temp of -5/feels like -20 degrees!

Water retreat!  I need to protect my castle in the sand!

Day at the Beach

While we were in Pensacola, we only spent about an hour playing on the beach. The weather was pretty rainy while we were there. We just kept reminding ourselves that it didn't matter what we were doing, but that we were together with family!

Mallory was so excited! When she saw the Gulf of Mexico coming down the pier, she yelled, "I did it! I found it!" It was so cute. At first, she thought the sand was snow - LOL!

Isaiah wore us out! He took to the water immediately, not wanting to get out at all.

My niece, Holly. (Shelby was at Girl Scout Camp. We were sure missing her, but she had so much fun at camp! It was really neat to hear her camp stories when she got back.)

Pawpaw and Little Miss

I'm going to print this one out for my desk at work!

Neena and Little Miss

Family is so precious.

Look how excited Mallory was!

Neena and Booper

Aunt B and Holly-Re

I had hoped to take family pictures at the beach, but it didn't happen on this trip. We decided to do a little more planning ahead of time for next year. I've already picked out our sand dune for the photo session!

One of my favorite vacation moments...watching my family interact. This picture makes me tear up...sigh...

Bye-bye beach!

If you look closely, you can see some tar. Remember the oil spill last year? Tim found a tar ball.
