Memorial Weekend

Last weekend was quite a time - celebrating Memorial Day and taking the kids to the beach! We went to Daytona Beach {girls on Thursday night, boys on Friday} and let the kids soak up the sun. We swam, played, built sand castles, played more, swam more...and just had a ball. Emma loved spending time with her friends - Austin, Hailey, and Collin! They saw starfish, dolphins, fish and jellyfish. One of the highlights was the Daddy's building the kids a pool on the beach (twice) - complete with a slide! We came home on Sunday and went to Disney World on Monday. Enjoy our favorite photos!

Mother's Day

We had a great Mother's Day last weekend. Went to church and brunch, and then to a Beach Picnic in Cocoa. Emma of course had to get a little swimming in first with Grandad! Enjoy some great beach pics - especially of Uncle Michael frolicking with Emma in the surf! She was WORN out!!!

Strawberries & Blueberries

We went out in nature today - and picked some strawberries & blueberries @ Pappy's Patch with Grandma Sue! We all had a ball. Discovered that Emma STILL loves strawberries - but we're not quite sure about blueberries yet. We'll see what mom can do with some pancakes or sugar!

Emma has been doing great with her swimming - we practice in our pool almost daily. She is so brave - must be her Daddy in her! She tried to jump off the tall wall (back side of pool) into the pool backwards today. Really - she's 2???? Also holds onto the big step, with her back facing the pool, lets go, goes underwater, spins 360 degrees, and reaches for the step and gets out....over, and over, and over. Silly Emma - at least she's practicing and getting comfortable in the pool and under water.

We were sickly last week - but are all on the mend....the whole time E was sick, she would say [when I'm better] "we're going to Disney Wo-o-r-l-d!" So cute!
