We stopped for an ice cream break, little did we know it would turn into liquid in a matter of seconds. We couldn't eat it fast enough before it was all melted. Here is Carson who gave up on using his spoon, it was faster to just lick.
The "Littles" after a long day. 
Had a fun time with the Walker family on Sat. night. Even learned what sound a deer makes, funny that their 16 month old knows this yet at 31 I am just learning. ha! That's what happens when the daddy is a hunter. :) 
As you can only imagine I have over 1000 photos of our FL/Disney trip to edit. So over the next few weeks I will post them onto the blog as I get to them.
When we walked in my mom went straight to the stand selling the Mickey ears and bought each child a set. I told her "I don't know about this, I don't think they'll wear them". Well I was wrong, about Griffin anyways. He had the "Disney Spirit" and wore them every time we left the cabin. He wore them non-stop it was so cute, so naturally there are more pictures of him because I could not resist. Carson was the complete opposite choosing not to be seen at all in the ears. 
Yes they were in matching Kelly's Kids outfits, well until she threw up all over hers only 2 hours after arriving. ugh!
Parker: "Benny, what are you looking at?"
Cooper: "Sis, what is this some kind of new fashion statement?" "I'm not diggin it"
My mom & Carson on the race trackCarson: "Just don't make me wear those ears and everything will be cool"
Hard to tell who's having the best time here, Daddy or Griffin? The race cars were Griffin's favorites. Between our day and night visits we were able to ride them many many times.
This family found my website in our neighborhood business directory. They called looking for a session for their 4 month old baby, and some family shots. I took these on the morning of July 4th in their yard. They live just one section over. Here are a few of my personal favorites. The boys did great and we were able to get just what we needed before they were "done". The top photo is my very favorite because it looks like little Braeden is kissing too. :)
3 of our "Pirates" are spending the week in Houston at "cousins camp" with their Nano & Granddaddy. (Rick's parents). Every year they take they take the 5 older grand kids
These pictures were taken at Disney (in June) after we bought them their swards from the Pirates of the Caribbean.
More surf camp photos, I am slowly getting around to editing my own stuff in between sessions. Since G&C were the youngest at surf camp they were well loved and very spoiled by the big kids. Especially the girls. There were a few flat days with no waves, and so they jet skied, tubed and played in the ocean. Here is Griffin with his girls.
This is the Thomas family. I knew Kelly back in HS and was happy to meet her family at the beach bright & early one morning while in FL. They have a sweet 18 month old, Zach that is SOO cute!! Love that white blond hair. Click the link to check out their slide show, they picked a great song for this one.... 
Several people have asked how surf camp was. So I figured I could throw a few shots up of Griffin while in the middle of editing my sessions. He was really a natural at surfing and got right up with no fear. The waves were about to his waist, which for a 5 yr old can be big. Carson was more fearful on the other hand & it took him until the 2nd day to warm up to surfing. These were taken on day one within the first hour of being at camp. There were 35 kids there and ours were the youngest at 5 yrs old. The rest of the kids at camp were 7-13 yrs old. 
This family is so much fun. I have been friends with Marcey since Kindergarten?? So it was really fun to see her kids & of course Frank, who went to school with us also. These photos were taken on Jupiter Island. (this is their friend's house). The house is owned by the people who invented Yankee Candle. There are many, many famous people who live on Jupiter Island. For example, Alan Jackson, Tiger Woods is building a house there, Celine Dion (who's house is in some of the backgrounds of these pictures, she lives 2 doors down.) And many more those are just to name a few. Here is the slide show from their session.
We've arrived home after being gone to FL for 23 days and 3,360 miles driven. It was a great vacation, loaded with tons of activity, friends, family and lots of fun. Here is a sneak peek of my children on the beach during our beach session. For now the rest of our family shots will have to wait to be edited. I have a few sessions that I want to take care of first. 
Our family is spending the month of June in FL. We have a lot of really great things planned while we are there. Our first stop is to Tallahassee to visit the FSU campus where I went to college. We are spending Thur. night and some of Friday exploring the campus & buying new FSU gear for the kiddos. Then on to Jacksonville where I am a Maid of Honor in my cousin's wedding. We will be there until Sunday. Then we head down to Disney World. This is for sure going to be an adventure. We are meeting my parents there and will spend a few days doing Disney and some other fun things at the resort. Rick flies back to Austin after Disney, and I am headed down to Palm Beach where my hometown is. We have a condo there and I will stay with the kids until the end of the month. While we are there I have 6 photoshoots on the beach, and the boys are enrolled in surf camp http://alohasurfingschool.com/ . Its Mon-Fri. from 8:30-12. They will have a blast learning to surf, jet skiing, relay races, tug of war, snorkeling, tubing & much much more. I am most excited to see my family & my two amazing friends that are also coming down to meet me from NC & VA, Kelly & Cortney. Tons of pictures from our adventures to come & exciting things in the works, all will be posted at the end of June. Until then you all have a great month!
Sweet Baby Tucker is 6 months old. Some of you may remember his 3 month session. He is on my baby plan and is growing fast. These were taken on Saturday morning. This little guy is so sweet and smiley. Here are my favorites from his session. Click the link to see more. Music of choice, Frank Sinatra.
