The other day after all othe boys left for work I decided that we would take an all girl trip to the beach. We had a lot of fun. . . that was until we decided to pull out lunch. I swear as soon as we unsnapped our ziplock baggies we were surrounded by seagulls!!

Ali thought it would be fun to feed them. . .

When they got real close she would throw the bread and they would fight over it. Then there were even more seagulls! Ali pretended to throw bread a few times that really freaked the birds out. It was pretty funny though! After the bread was all gone she kept yelling "go away 'beds' my 'samich' is all gone! Go away!" It was pretty darn cute if you ask me! One of them must have said "this is this and that is that" and then told her that a fork was a dinglehopper, cause I caught her combing her hair with one when I told her to go find me a comb one day. . . !

I thought this was a cool picture. its kinda hard to see though. It almost looks like camron is standing out there by himself

OK, so maybe this is a little more like it! :)

I'm speachless! Taralee is AMAZING! Surprised you didn't know that!

This is for Tara Lee. . . i tried to make my own frosty at home but it just wasn't the same! -Mr. Deeds. I was going to draw us on here but couldn't do it! Truly you are talented. Maybe you can save it on your computer and draw us!

Ali has found herself a "boyfriend"! Saturday night Camron and I went out to eat, and Alex Posey, a sells rep out here offered to watch Ali for me! He took her on her first date!! First they went to McDonalds and got a Happy Meal and Ali embarrassed herslf by spilling a little bit of her Chocolate Shake on her shirt. He said it was a great way to get to go shopping. So they went to Walmart to get a new shirt. Its a Dora Shirt that lights up when she moves! She wouldn't take it off. . . she wore it to bed. Posey also got her some crocs that matched her shirt. He spoiled her. Now she loves him. He's from Hawaii and is super sweet! Hes pretty attached to her too. Nevertheless she started dating a little early!

Florida Update

These are our new friends John and Keli. I hang out with Keli all day every day. She is about 4 months pregnant and has been a lot of help with the kids when I need to go somewhere.

Or when I'm swimming with Ali and Cooper is ready for a nap!:)

Here is Camron and Carter playing football at the beach one morning before work.

When the tide is really low there are these really cool "swi-mming pools" on the shore. Ali loves to play in them.

Ali got some floaties and loves to swim all by herself now. Hopefully she will swim like her dad and not her mom. But I am getting better. . . in stead of swimming like a rock I can swim for as long as i can hold my breath. :)

It wasn't exacty a cool day at the Zoo but it was a lot of fun! Whenever Camron gets home and asks ali what she did today, she always tells him "We saw da Am-inals at da Zoo. . ." and then preceeds to tell him what she really did that day! We've only been to the zoo once, but she wants to go again. It would just be nice if she had all her cousins to go with!! Miss you guys!!:)

Ali loved the giraffe she named him Melman like the one on Madagascar, which she has only watched a few times but never seen the whole thing. She's pretty good with names unlike me. Actually, the other day, I found my self using her to try and remember someones name and sure enough it worked!:) She knew it.

Mom- This is for you! There is a beautiful garden at the exit of the zoo! You would love it! I thought of you and took some pictures. . . you could have taken better ones I know.

This is called Sothern Magnolia. I guess it's quite common in Texas. I thought it was beautiful! I love you MOM!

These are the ALI-gators. These were really fun because a "zoo guy" tried catching him when we were there, and the aligator stared hissing and snapping. Ali got a little scared at first but then we sang the monkey song and said "snap those monkeys out of that tree. . . and she got over it.

We were so close to the lion. actually to all of the animals it was a great Zoo. We all enjoyed it!

Here is the Big Gorilla. Ali thought it was really cool when he got up and started walking around.

The lighting is really wierd on this picture but it made her eyes look so blue.























Looks like Cooper is going to have blue eyes too. Don't know how I managed to do that! My eyes are green and Camrons are brown. . . ?

Tiger- I guess I'm just hoping that you find me while surfing the Web. Tiger- I need some tips.

Cooper just snoozes when we go out. He'd sleep all day in his car seat if I let him!!!

Most recent pic I have of Cooper. He's starting to get big and smile a lot. But he still likes to cuddle with his Mama.

Here is Alionna and Hannah at the ward picnic. They played at the park until they got hungry then enjoyed "jellybean samiches". That's what Ali calls them. She loves having a playmate here. There's not a day go by that they don't ask to see eachother.

Here is Ali telling me how old she is "2" but she also has a "1" on the other hand so maybe she doesn't know??

This is Dad walking Ali out to the ocean for the first time. She liked the water until she was swallowed by a wave and swallowed some of the very salty water. . . now you have to beg her to put her feet in. At least we don't have to worry about her drowning!!

Since Ali didn't want to get in we made them a "swimming pool" on the shore. They played for hours with no complaints. Believe it or not Ali and I have Tan Lines!!!

Here is Ali helping mom pack for Florida by trying on coopers ammenities that were already packed.

We took quite the load.

We made it to Florida! I will add pictures as soon as I buy batteries! My camera died so I can't put them on my computer so I found this random photo of the atlantic beach here in Florida. But we are loving it here!
