Jaydin's 1st Time Skating

My brother and I took the girls skating today.....it was Jaydin's 1st time and she did great!

These two have so much fun together.

Went from never being on the ice to standing up and skating on her own with and without a walker in an hour and a half.

My brother Ryan, Jaydin, Teagan and me...so much fun.

The Perfect Vacation

We just got back from the perfect family vacation. 9 days of 80-85 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Warning: this is a long post....

Here we go....Bryce's first time on a plane. We gave it a B- on the way down and an A on the way home. There were a few loud moments but overall he did very well. Teagan loves the plane and did great!

Day 1 We hit the pool as soon as we got there. Teagan and grandma spent time in the pool everyday we were there....she's a little fish!

I also spent time in the pool and laying out each day :-)

Day 2 Brandon and his dad went fishing and Judy and I took the kids shopping.

Bryce and Teagan greeting Brandon and grandpa as they got back from fishing.

Watching the boats as they come in...we also saw dolphins swim by each day.

Day 3 we headed to Sanibel Island for the afternoon....the weather was perfect!

Brandon and Brycie

Grandma and Teagan walked the beach and looked for shells.

my little cutie...forgot his hat so he wore Brandon's.

holding hands...so cute...they love the water.

more swimming ...Bryce loved to sit on the step and play with the beach toys.

Day 4 Brandon went fishing again and Judy and I took the kids down the road to the Yacht Club beach and playground.

Nick, Stephanie, Luke and Avery met us at the beach and the kids played.

When they got back from fishing Brandon took us for a boat ride to see all of the amazing houses and boats!

The kids are ready!

Family pool day. Every Monday night all of the couples in the condos get together for a theme dinner on the pool deck. We joined in and celbrated Brandon's birthday with cake and ice cream.

Day 8 more fishing

Checking out the fish. Bryce was very excited to watch them and see them flop around but wanted to have nothing to do with touching them.

Brycie and grandma

We all went out to eat that night.

Really good food!
