Playin' with Cousins

I love that my kids get the chance to play and get to know their cousins in Florida. I was always so close with my cousins, and I love that my kids get to do the same. Brynnie got to play with Kyers and Kamber one day while I was in Tally with my mom and mammaw. Leslie gave me these pictures and it looked like they had a great day.

My baby's Seven Months!

What can I say about this little butterball of mine? We are 100 % in love with her. She is literally the center of our attention. She has so many rolls on her arms and legs, she reminds me of the Michelin Man. She has the blondest hair. She is whiny and wants to be held all the time. She is an AWESOME traveler. She does so good when we are out and about. She loves to be outside. Loves our dog, Riley. She is a great eater and likes to do that all the time too. She has liked all kinds of baby food I stick in her mouth. She sits up all by herself and can hold her own bottle too. She gets up once in the night and takes two good naps. She has started scooting when she wants to get something that she can't reach. I love her little smile and giggle! She is growing up before my very eyes and we are loving every minute with her!

Tess's Baby Shower

All of my girl cousins (well, those who were there...I have alot more!)

My cousin, Whitney is due with her first baby in August, so I was able to be there for her baby shower. She is having a little girl and her name is going to be Tess. I have loved being there, watching her excitement. We painted her room while I was there and helped her get things ready for little Tess. Her shower was good, she got A LOT of stuff and there was AMAZING food. I can't wait to meet her!!

Florida Wildlife

My cousin, Sydney calls us at my mom's house and is in a panic because she was in her golf cart and this rattlesnake was sitting in the road. She couldn't get past it, so she called for Jordan to bring his gun. We all jumped in the back of the truck. It was so funny when we came up on the snake. I had my brother and my cousin's husband who had guns, and then Tyler and my other cousin, Brent from Utah grabs sticks. So the Florida boys have their way of killing a snake (with guns) and these Western boys have their own way of killing a snake (with sticks). Once the snake was killed, we realized that it had just had its dinner, so we were all curious as to what it had eaten. Morbid, I know. So this is what Tyler cut out of the snake. Sorry, if this grosses anyone out! I was amazed that the snake and been able to catch a tree squirrel. Those things are fast! Of course my kids thought that was the coolest thing ever!

Tyler's Favorite Thang to do in Florida...

Bow Fishing!! I went with him one night and had a blast! It was so fun. I shot like 50 times and couldn't hit anything, but it was fun. I love doing things with Tyler when he is in his "element."

Beach Day!!

While we were in Florida we spent a couple of days at the beach. We went to St. Andrew's State Park and loved it!! The water is sooo pretty and you have the convenience of the beach on one side and the bay on the other. The first day we went, the beach was so rough, the kids couldn't really get in and swim, so we walked over to the bay, where there were no waves and it was really shallow for a long time. There is a rock jetty on the bay side and you can go out there with some goggles and see all kinds of fish and sea creatures. It was really cool. A big pirate ship comes by with tourists on it and blows its cannons a couple of time and Landen loved that! The first day we were there, we stayed pretty much ALL day. Mya and Kinsley came along, and they were pretty good sports about the sun and sand. We brought a pack-n-play and they slept and played in that. The second time we went, Tyler was with us and the weather wasn't too great, but we still had a good time. That is one of the things I miss the most about Florida, is spending the day at the beach with my family and eating PB& J's and drinking capri suns. Fun times!!
