Fla/Ga camping 2010


Megan tried to be a big helper ... putting up the tent.


Ahh... it's fun to get away!


Hey mom... "this pickle is bigger than my coconut"


Evan gives camping 2 thumbs up!


All snuggled into her sleeping bag!


We were surrounded by animals... who apparently aren't shy. The armadillos would walk right though our camp. Yuck!


This raccoon was sitting up on our picnic table right in front of us. Now that's just rude not to at least wait till we were in our tents!

She loves Camping!!!!!
Megan woke up bright and early. Kevin and I could have used a bit more shut eye!


Yummy pancakes!!!!!


This was Lydia's make shift crib... napping in the front seat of Kevin's truck.


Would you believe I was the first one in? Me and the boys jumped in to get refreshed! The water was awesome. It did take about 2 minutes to get fully numb... then it felt great.


This was as far as Megan would go! At least she tried.


"Happy Camper #1"


"Happy Camper #2"
Watching his first 2nd Fla/Ga game in the woods!


Chris and Nae


Go Gators!


The Brendy's


Nae Nae!


Me and Sissy!


Evan pooped out... so instead of walking... he hitch hiked in Jake's stroller basket!


"Did your parents give you permission to drive?"


This stinking raccoon wouldn't leave us alone. He finally went up this tree and hovered over us... after shooing him away a dozen times. he really wanted our dinner!


Look who found the s'mores!


Good-morning... Happy Halloween!


The deer were everywhere! Seriously... they must know we can't shoot them. I was surprised with how skinny they were. Figured they'd get fat with everybody feeding them.


Fun Fun Fun!


Joel and I took the kids out on Stephanie's Kayaks.



... Until next year... Enjoy!

Our big adventure for the perfect shot! "Capturing the-TINY"

"Got it!"
Could have just stopped here!

But... we kept on for more.
Thanks Linda for working so hard to get the perfect shot!
This photo tells his little personality.
He is a happy boy!



... I don't think that's so good for your teeth son!

Love the expression...
Which path will he take?


... hangin' with big sis!



... holding Mommy's hands!




... Megan headed down the track with best buddy Evan!



Megan had fun getting dirty!


"Summer fun with my boy"


"I wish I could keep him this way...
I cannot express how much joy this little guy brings me!"


At least one person thinks Mommy is funny!


... So grateful!




Megan got so dirty... I guess it goes with the photo op theme.

She kept saying... "no... I need real water"




... happy siblings!



... hangin' out!



"Tiny Toes"



"My Mom is gonna be mad at these dirty hands and feet"




Life with my kiddos is an adventure... one I love traveling on with them.
I am so grateful for all the little moments we share together.

"Life is Good... Jake's 1st Birthday!"


"Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to you...
happy birthday to Jacob... happy birthday to you!
I sang to Jake when I went in to give him his bottle. He was sooooo cute... looking through the slats... laughing at me... or was it my singing?


Megan made Jake a home-made birthday card. She loves to color!


PJ snuggles with my boy!
I love those dimples!!!!!!


Jake's first party...


Cousin Samuel came to play too!


The boys...


Aunt Steph... with her nephews!



All the boys enjoyed checking out the new toys!



His lil' buddy Eric came for the party too!



"Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday to you...
Happy Birthday dear Jacob...
Happy Birthday to you!"



The sugar kicked in!
Jake- "Hey guys... this stuff is good!"


Everybody stood around to watch him eat his first dose of pure sugar!


The big kids were ready for some cake too!
They all dove in for dessert while Jacob got a bath.


All cleaned up... sugared up... and ready for more fun!



Oh my... I'm having flashbacks of Megan on her Little Mermaid car from her 1st birthday party.
Jake loved it!

"Life really is good!"


Gammie- "Hey bud!...You're Gammie loves you!!"


Jess, Kyle, Nana and B-pa had fun playing with Jake on his big day too!
