orange beach- part 2

more sandy fun! nate, being the artist that he is, carved trace's name in the sand :)


brothers at the beach!
lucas sure loves his poppi! some days he wakes up and the first words out of his mouth are "Pop Pop!" ♥ he had a blast fishing with him!
the outdoor pool was in the shade the whole time. so each day after the beach, the guys took the kids swimming in the indoor pool. it was so nice! the bottom right hand pic is trace jumping off the side of the pool. ya'll, i am so proud of him. he has come so far in the past few months. at the beginning of summer, he would not get in the pool by himself. NOW, he is jumping off the side, without anyone catching him! i love my 2 little fish named trace and lucas :)

below is the awesome condo where we stayed. the kitchen, dining room, and living room were all huge open rooms. we had a glass door going out to the patio (we were on the bottom level, which was so nice) and it opened right up to the bay. it was cool and breezy on the patio and oh so nice!! (sorry guys, not trying to rub it in, just remembering how wonderful it was!)

and of course, we took some family pics! again, not sure why my boys wouldn't smile, but whatever. i'm so over that! :)

the big boys!
this is my fav one of us!
and another perfectly posed pic of shannon and josh, and their kids who actually smile for the camera!
and last but not least, in my opinion, one of the reasons we had so much fun on our trip...

BITSY AND POPPI!

we really did have a wonderful time, and i'm so glad we got to enjoy this weekend trip to the beach with the whole family! hopefully these memories will get us through the winter, til we can get to the beach again next year! :)

Psalm 106:1 "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever!"

I've been waiting for part 2 for almost a week!!! Great Job on the collages! and, fyi- you, more than anyone, know that we don't get perfect smiles, or behavior, from our kids all of the time! it was a great trip overall!

Your pictures are wonderful!! I love the boys' little faces!! :) Boys don't always have to smile -they're just cute looking at the camera... says the person who would bribe her little boy with power rangers or threaten time out and a spanking!! You all look really great!! Love ya, Miss ya!!

YEA!!! More pictures that I LOVE! I have to admit that I think my favorites are of course, with Bitsy and Poppi. The fishing pictures are PRECIOUS! And what an awesome condo! I didn't want the pictures to end! I felt like I was there with you guys enjoying the sand, the sun and most of all the FUN!
