Picking up again with another Mega Post...
Picnic at Minns Cottages while I was getting pictures to use on their new website that I did for them last year.
Daddy on his way home buzzing us playing at the beach with friends...
Sailing Club fun...
Quick trip to Nassau for Dallas' cousin, Ryan's wedding reception.
Gotta get their training time in when we're in Nassau ;) Good thing any time in the pool is time well spent for them!
Date night for us at the wedding reception!
Wolverine made a random appearance and gave a healthy dosage of Tickle Torture to these young heroes!
Then they decided to play in our clothes... why yes, that messy, unorganized, pile of a mess is our bedroom. :P
".....Ninjas love to BELLY FLOP!!"
Rolleville Regatta 2014
Just another day at the races for these boys...
Dallas started sailing this yellow boat named Lady B that belongs to the legendary, Hughrie Lloyd. She's an old boat, but he's learned a lot sailing her.
We always look for Mr. Gordon with the balloons during events like this!
Never, ever, ever a dull moment at the races... sinking, running low on gas in the powerboat, getting the boats to the start on time... always something exciting going on.
The boys like being on the sailboats in short doses :)
Sailing Club kids racing...Joss & Emit always talk about which one of these boats they're going to sail when they are big enough to join the club :)
Practice day, and hobie fun for the boys and me...
Scuba certification begins...
Such a cool thing being able to stay underwater for a long time :)
Showing some fellow Auburn grads around the island...
Fun with turtles, sandbar, cupcakes...
The boys and I took off to visit CC & Poppy, then Dallas' folks and D came to visit him while he was here solo. I love these photos Dallas' mom got with the 3 of them!
More sailing club stuff...
Trolling for barracudas...
Meanwhile up in Missouri...
So much fun to be had!
We saw the "DO NOT CLIMB ON VEHICLES" sign after we climbed a little... whoops!
High divin'...
The boys, of course, drew all eyes on them as they boldly climbed up the high dive ladder and plopped right in. Some big soldier guys wouldn't go off without making a fuss... but not these guys!
I love how fearless they are... makes for some exciting and super fun days :)
So many fun things to do and places to play!
Bev & Xander came to have some fun in Missouri too!
And yet ANOTHER cool water place...
They had a blast collecting acorns and their little 'hats'! Joss said, "It's like when people come visit us and want to collect seashells to take home, we can take these little hats home!" :)
Let the birthday fun begin a few days early!
TOTAL HIT!!
Look at how cute they are sleeping up above this text.... such sweet brothers!
My lifelong BFF Ann Marie, came to visit us from Kansas and brought her adorable little man, Jayden, with her. It was so fun getting together and letting our kiddos meet! Next time we hope to hang out in Exuma :)
It meant so much for them to make the drive to come visit!
More water fun... we returned to each water spot multiple times while we were visiting!
Cheer for Cynthia Group shots!
Love this girl!!!
Jumping in our 'big boy pants'!
Emit was determined to splash Bev with a balloon (see the couple shots below)!
"Poppy come play with us!!!!"
I was holding my breath the entire time my dad was jumping so afraid he was going to hurt his back...
His back made it just fine, but Joss tried to take him out another way... {sorry Poppy}
DADDY joined us in Missouri and the boys couldn't wait to take him around to their fun spots!
The boys were so happy to have their CC back up and moving around with them! We are all very proud of how far she's come and how well she's getting back on her feet. Keep it up CC!!!
These are some photos Bev took during our visit...
(LEGOS!!!!!!!!!!)
(Cousins!!)
(from the Birthday fun... I'll get to my pics of that soon)
(Another group photo day)
Thanks for letting me steal some pics, Bev :) It's always fun to get some from another angle ;)
We got to celebrate Emit's 5th B-day with them last year. Theme...SKYLANDERS!
I won't lie... it was fun being able to get streamers, balloons, wrapping paper, plates, all that jazz for the party. However, we do saver a lot of money NOT being able to get all that down here too!
CC & Poppy's neighbors ran an inflatable business and donated this treat to the party! Pretty sweet, huh!!
We all had a blast!!
So.Much.Fun...
Emit was super excited over his cake with the toys on top... I LOVE his expression in these photos... that's why I do it, right there :)
Joss did get a bit jealous, we have had that every birthday except this most recent one, I'm happy to report! Emit's 6th B-day (who knows when I'll get that posted)!
Sugar-Up then back out to play...
What a fantastic birthday it was!! I think we definitely made our little dude feel special!
Time for tie-dye!
Cheer for CC family pics! Just needed Uncle Kevin...
Just a few days after the party we started our journey back home.
We spent the night in St. Louis and took a little trip up in the arch!
It was a gorgeous day to be up in the arch, could see for miles!
The next morning we jumped on a train, barely, and headed to Chicago.... (stay tuned) ;)
