Another tooth gone...

Why do kids with missing teeth look so funny??

This morning was the morning for Aydin!! His tooth that has been loose for about a month has finally fallen out. All I can say it it is about time- although every time I look at him I have to laugh. I cant get over how funny he looks with a huge gap in his mouth.

Memorial Day

I have been bad at posting to the blog right when things happen for us... so I am a little behind. Well- a few days at least.

Happy Memorial Day! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends. I have never lived in an area where we have met so many couple friends... that both Steve and I get along with. Monday we were invited to one of these wonderful couples homes (Tex and Linsey) for a BBQ and pool party. We spent most of the day there.... and the kids spent the whole time in the pool. Between 5 couples... there were a total of 17 kids, It was great!!


Suzanne, Karlie and Summer

all the kids... well most of them


Steve and Jermey


Morgan had to have these on... she loved them!!


All the boys made Steve throw them in the pool over and over... his arm sure did get a work out!!

Another Suns Game...

Last Saturday night our wonderful friends called and invited us to the Suns baseball game. Karlie used to work for the team so she gets the hook up on tickets. Well- for the first time in 5 years.. they gave her a box to hang out in.

We first started off right on the first base line to try to catch fly balls- where we stayed until it started raining.






We then moved to covered seats right behind home plate. I thought those were great seats and was perfectly content with where we were sitting.






About 5 minutes later we were moving up to a box....
So for more than half the game we sat in a box watching the game. It was so much fun!! Thanks Evatts for inviting us to go with you!!

Boating fun!!

Over the weekend we were invited to go on our friends boat to Bird Island. (A little sand bar off the Amelia Island coast.)

All together there were... 3 couples, 6 kids, 2 boats, fishing poles, sand toys, surf boards and food... We had a great time and the weather was perfect!

The 'older' boys had their fun fishing and playing horse shoes... the kids had their fun playing in the water and sand, swimming, surfing and jumping off the side of the boat... while us girls enjoyed laying out with a beach ALL to ourselves. We cant wait to go back!!

MOSH

Today we went on a field trip with Aydins school to the Museum of Science and History. I am not a huge fan of history but I do have to admit... this was a great museum. I actually want to go back when we are not with a huge group of kids.



Aydin with some of the kids in the class.... (these are a few of the girls that have a crush on Aydin so they followed him around most of the day. It was hard to get pictures of him without the ladies sneaking the the picture.)




In front of a baby whale







Adyin had to get a picture in front of the Star Wars exhibit.

The begining of our beach pix...

We have been going to the beach quiet a bit lately... I am just going to lump them in to one post. We are so lucky that we live so close to the beach- and that the weather allows us to go ALL Summer long.




Last week the British guys meet us at the beach for one of their last days here in town... they bought our kids kites. They are some of the nicest group of guys we have met in a long time. The kids had so much fun with the kites... and so did Steve!!





Yesterday we went to a different beach with other friends... Aydin and his friend Ty were having a blast in the water boarding and swimming... while the girls- Trystan and Morgan were content playing in the sand. It too was a great day! But then again- what day isnt great when you spend it at the beach?!
