Camden & Gavin

And yet we have another beach day. This time Gavin came with us! The boys had a great time.

Boogie boarding, skim boarding, soccer & football on the beach and of course, lots of sandy snacks to eat.

Siesta Key

We spent the day in Siesta Key with Scott, Michelle and Hayden. The beach is beautiful on the Gulf. The little waves, "ankle slappers" as Scott would say, were perfect for the little boys. Once you got past the waves, it was like being in a big swimming pool (with 100's of strangers). The clear water made it perfect for Clay and Keriann to dive and pick up several shells, after failed attempts to find sand dollars. The beach had the water, and the right kind of sand to make a comfortable time lounging and playing with new sand toys. Our prepared lunches made a quick and pleasant time. We stayed at the beach until the late afternoon, and went home after a great day.

The whole family had fun in the water, Together!!

Keriann's Korner

Hey, this is my first posting and im totally excited!! Recently the 14-18 year olds at our church went 2 youth conference. The theme this year was service. I thought the leaders had 2 b challenged with having 175 teenagers actually WORK!! The turn-out was great we worked 2 different service projects and had an ah-mazing time doing it!! Along with our 2 service projects we had a dance every night!! The 1st night was casual while the 2nd night the girlie-girls got dolled up and the boys wore monkey suits. The experience was spiritual and fun!!

Cocoa Beach

We had a great time at the beach with our friends. The sun was hot and the water was refreshing. The kids played in the sand, boogie boarded and showed off their sweet volleyball skills. A fisherman down the beach caught a shark...some of our group ran down and watched, while others were too busy soaking up the sun a.k.a. me!My LDS posse

A picture of the picture of the shark. It's really there, I promise.

Sara and Sissa

We should have feared the beach with the "high hazard" warning, but we carry our own red flag with our 28 children combined!

Clay and Chris

In support of his good friend, Chris....Clay decides to get a military hair cut. The next day, Chris left for the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado. After the hair cuts, Chris took his friends flying to celebrate his success in earning his pilot's license. It was hard to say "see ya later" to such a good friend!

Chris' head of hair...BEFORE.

After.

Clay is so ready for this.

I think he likes it!

This quick video shows Chris landing with "Crash 6" spraying water as the plane approaches. This was done as a "congratulations" to Chris!

Jeff's Class II Award

Jeff received an award, given to members of a unit, who have displayed, through a team effort, exceptional performance of duty at an emergency situation. In other words, they were doing their job! Although, his unit has received awards in the past, this was the first ceremony he actually attended.

We had never seen him in his "Dress Uniform".

He's very serious about this...but his lieutenant isn't.

Camden wears daddy's hat.

Jeff and Clay try to prove who's taller. Who do you think won?

Brevard Zoo

My friend Kristen and her two children, Gabi and Kai, were visiting from Utah. We all went to the Brevard Zoo. Keriann's friend, Savannah, came also. The highlight at the zoo was the giraffes. With their 20'' tongues, they can become very upclose and personal.

This giraffe is loving the attention from Savannah and Keriann.

Thankfully, this is not a live animal.

Keriann and Savannah got to Kayak through Africa.

Camden and Gabi feeding a deer. Hand sanitizer anyone?

Kai loved the zoo and the train ride.

A bird landed on Gabi's head and she handled it like a little bird whisperer. The bird sat on her head, sipping nectar from a little cup that Gabi was holding. This went on for over two minutes. This is a short video...and I warn you...my voice gets annoying, you may want to mute!
