Zeke's skimboard progression!

These first three pictures are Zeke with the skimboard in one run.

He does a great job with the board. He even does 360's now and can jump waves. Way to go Zeke!
This is Zeke putting his hands down to do the 360. Way cool!!!!!!!!

Boating in Florida!

We rented a boat to ride on the canals. It was a lot of fun. We wanted to go wakeboarding but where we rented the boat from wouldn't let us do it.

We stopped at different points during the boating trip to take excursions to the beach. It was really fun.
We had a friend that visited us. This friendly little dolphin came really close looking for food. The kids loved watching the dolphin swim so close. Our boat trip was really fun.
We found a new house that we would like to have, it is too bad it is probably out of our price range. It comes complete with a waterfall and everything. So Gorgeous. This was just one of many awesome places that were along the channel.

Turtle Beach!

Mom even got in a picture, now that is amazing.

We loved hanging out at Turtle Beach and collecting shells. We found tons of them.
It is a rare moment to take a photo of Ezra without his pacifier. So we were really excited about this.
He was jumping off the little sand hills and laughing.
We found a little crab and the kids had fun watching it trying to escape five little kids.

Isn't he cute?

Five adorable kids walking on the beach and collecting shells. I love this picture.
Eli found a large rock made out of shells, he thought it was pretty cool.

Daddy even had fun too.

Noah is getting so big.

Hannah and Eli sure made a GREAT team collecting.

Florida!

Hanging out by the tiny pool.

Ezra Going Potty!

Ezra went to the potty this week, what a big boy. We have sat on the potty before, but never gone. He sat down this time and said, "Mom it is working", because he was able to go.
We are so proud of ourselves.
He wanted to read his train book, too.
Everyone wonders who Ezra looks like, I think a lot like Zeke.

The Decorated Tree!

Here is our tree we decorated this year. It was a big beautiful tree, and then it got a little cut up. The kids still had fun decorating it with their own ornaments, that is all that would fit.
Aren't they sweet!

Finding our Christmas Tree!

We went out into the woods, by GiGi's house and walked through the swampy water. It was really wet, but a beautiful night. Bill had planted trees a few years ago and we wanted to use one of them for our tree.

It was quite an adventure.

Daddy cut down one of the trees and then we dragged it out of the woods.

Here is our beautiful natural tree. I am showing this picture so you can see how huge it is. Daddy did some cutting and it ended up a "little" smaller. Watch for a posting soon, of our decorated tree.

Noah and the National Junior Honor Society

Congratulations to Noah for being accepted into the Honor Society. We are so proud of you!!!!

He was a little shy up there but he looked great. Way to go Noah, keep it up.
