AUGUST 2011

The girls started school so early this yr. We flew home and immediately started school. So we really missed our Florida summer of hanging out at the pool and beach every other day. Our time here is limited, and we are feeling the crunch to appreciate the little things we will miss. 1st and 3rd grade here we come!!!

This is her favorite place to be when I am in the kitchen cooking. Just chilling on the first step reading or playing. Its just the perfect size for her, and so cute. She also loves the girls dance books. Maybe she'll follow in their footsteps, and love dance as much as they do.

My brother Corey and his wife Rachel and baby Gwenna came for a visit at the end of Aug. It made leaving family at the beginning of Aug bearable because we knew in 3 weeks we would have visitors. We are so happy they could come and experience FL with us.

Just visiting our most exciting little petting zoo. I think I've been there enough to last me a lifetime. But no matter how many times we've gone the kids still love it.

I liked this pic of the turtle and the gator. Just two buddies hanging out. It's strange they don't seem to bother each other one bit.

Of course we had to get the pythons out....yuck, they are the worst animal ever. I completely despise snakes.....do you like how Bryce is just holding the tail....too cute.

So brave, my younger brother is......

The pier at sunset is gorgeous, and the surfers were fun to watch too.

Our company almost didn't come because we were having hurricane warnings, it proved to be a beautiful weekend with no hurricane, but, the waves at the beach were huge...the biggest we've seen on this coast before. No swimming for us, just playing on shore.

Sweet sisters are finally realizing what great pals they are.

These two are equally friendly, always get along so well, I LOVE IT!!

The boy/girl combination seems to be easier than the girl/girl.

What do you think?

Liddle brudder and wifey trying to catch some waves...............

Better luck next time!!!

"Ok we give up, lets just go look at shells"

Sweet little beach baby....to bad she won't remember this.
