In my desperate attempt to catch up from being over a year behind on here... it's going to be a massive run down of our last year in photos. I may comment on a few things here and there, but I HAVE to get caught up....
Working hard around the house to get our MESS organized.
Fresh haircuts and pics from the boys camera.
LOL
Projects for neighbors and my new desktop, and of course More Mess!
Joss working with daddy.
Scuba certification begins... my first open water dive, and we saw an octopus!! Pretty cool.
Ian helping me polish up the concrete desktop with his fancy tools and expertise...what a mess that was, and a beast to carry too.
Hanging with the first round of cousins last summer, Mason & Karis.

Turtle time down at 'our' beach. No turtles were harmed... only given yummy treats of squid for their cooperation.
My new work space! Only a small part of it is crooked ;)
Next wave of cousins, Olivia, Luke & Levi.
More the same fun, but we only had 2 days with this group.
Fun at the Sandbar...
Trying to get all 5 kids looking for a picture... not an easy task.
"Daddy, throw me!!!!"
The same afternoon that April's crew was leaving my Uncle Christopher, Aunt Cindy, Dalton & Tatum flew in! This was their first time in Exuma, and first time out of the country for a few!!!
Down at the docks at night! My kids stayed up a little later than usual with these older kids visiting! They didn't seem to mind too much :)
More sandbar exploring...
The Page Family takes Exuma by Storm!
Above, my Uncle Christopher had to be initiated to Bahamian traditions by eating the pissle of the conch! You did well grasshopper ;)
We got to spend over an hour swimming with a dolphin off the beach at Chat-n-Chill.
Starfish photoshoot... Emit dove up his first one by himself in the deeper water!

More high flying action...Dallas' favorite picture of the year (on the far right above)!
Doing a little sailing on the Tari Anne, this may have been a little more than they all bargained for, but hopefully they had fun still!
They really wanted to see what we do in the cays and where we go on our trips... so up the cays we headed.
Had to see the swimming pigs...
Thunderball Grotto...
Dock diving...
"I don't wanna grow up, I wanna be a Toy-R-Us kid"
Tatum finally worked up the nerve to go off the ladder.
Setting up camp at Big Farmers Cay.
Beautiful weather, but it was definitely warm camping in July!
Camp chores...
Let's explore some more...
Visiting the mermaids....one of my favorite pics is the top right just below this text. The light streaming in just looks magical!
Iguana frenzy...no way is this that little boy the stole all our hearts just a few short years ago. Such a handsome young man!
Everyone was worn out and thankful to be back in the air conditioning this night, including Zoe!
Dalton got to go trolling and caught a nice fish!!!
Our visitors left... back to work we go!
