S.T.U.D.

Did you know that these glasses make Hudson fast as lightning? We have a soccer stud on our hands when the glasses are on. :)

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary

Trent's friend, Kenton, was visiting a couple weeks ago and we were able to go see some wildlife in their natural habitat. Some highlights were an alligator, snake and lots of awesome birds. Unfortunately Trent had to work.

There are 2 neat birds in this marshy field- a blue heron on the right & a beautiful white bird on the left.



This sanctuary has a 2.25 mile boardwalk through natural swamp lands. I've been there a few times now and just love it. The environment is so different than the beach & palm trees by our house.

Stephanie

After 6 weeks with us, it was strange to wake-up this morning and not have Stephanie here. She's leaving in a couple weeks for a semester in Australia! Stephanie, we're so excited for you and can't wait to be hanging out again and hearing stories about all your adventures. Love you!

A Day at the Park

All Dressed Up

We picked this tux up for Hudson this week because he's going to be the ring bearer in my friend Ashley's wedding in April. I had to try it on him & take pictures for Ashley and can't resist putting some on here. I'm sure there will be more to come in a few months. :)

with his beloved...:)

Also Stephanie was kind enough to pose while I practiced some pictures. She's just gorgeous!

Happy 7 months to our little crawler!

Family Fun in the Sun

We had a great time with my family last week. Highlights were playing on the beach (Trent & the kids got in the ocean), going to the heated pool at my Dad & Carol's hotel, going out to dinner while the kids got to have a cousins' night at home with babysitters & just lounging around our house. These are the only pictures I took all week.
