Disney Boardwalk

One morning we headed over to the Disney Boardwalk.  It was a great place to walk with tons of restuarants, shops, white sandy beach, swings, and a pirate ship for the kids to play in.  It was a lovely morning. 

James and Tallie


Pam and Lance


My cool dude!


Lance is such a sweet brother to Tallie, and she just loves him so much.  She follows him everywhere he goes and loves to hold his hand, so sweet! 


Picture with the lake and a nice hotel in the background!



Ah, the lovebirds!


Cocoa Beach, Fl

When Spence told me back in October that he had to go to Florida in February for a work convention, it took me all of two seconds to book tickets for the entire family!  So, last week we headed out to Orlando for 11 heavenly days!

One of our best friends from Thunderbird, Pam, and her boyfriend James, came down from New York to spend the week with us, and one sunny day we headed to Cocoa Beach!

Here are my kids responses to being at the beach:



Yes... I had absolutely no idea that my near always happy daughter absolutely DESPISED the sand!  Literally she bawled any time we tried to put her on the sand, it was crazy!

Here is a darling picture of Pam and James.  They make such a cute couple, and they are so sweet to my kids.





I randomly took this picture of Pam and James - and it totally shows how adorable they are with my kids.  James consoling Tallie, and Pam building a sand castle with the goose, too cute!



Man, I love my little kiddos!







Here is a funny story - we were posing for a picture on the pier, when all of a sudden....


... a pelican about took out our heads!


Thanks Pam and James for such a memorable day!

Solitude Weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend up at Solitude with our friends the Wagstaff's!  We were able to fit in so many fun things in a few short days!

SLEDDING! 

Here is a picture of my Spence with little Spencer Wagstaff! 

 

Daddy and Lance!










The girlies watching from the windows! 


The guys getting ready for skiing in the mud room! 


Here come the girls again! 


Getting ready to go skiing!  BBRRR!  I am not one who is usually thrilled to go skiing in a blizzard (I kinda like to get some color from the sun while I ski - ya know), but it still turned out to be a fun day.  BIG FAN of fresh powder baby! 






The cute kiddies posing for a picture, one smile and then "group hug!"



Love this little girls chubs! 


BIG FAN of the hot tub! 




Loving that the back of these girls heads are so similar.  Exact same colored hair, with the exact same little curls, too cute! They had a blast together! 


And finally my Mr. Lance looking quite daper for church after we got home from the cabin! 


Thanks cute Devin and Naomi for a wonderful weekend, love you guys!
