Still playing Blog catch-up...sorry!

We had a family vacation to Mississippi in late July to visit Rob's grandparents and aunt and uncle. It was a very fun and memorable trip and we are so glad we went! The boys absolutely loved camping, swimming, sliding, playing at Maw-Maw & Paw-Paw's, and just being outside nearly ALL the time! Below are just a few of the pics we took to capture our fun we had! Hope you enjoy!

Early morning fishing attempt...no fish caught, but
fun was had by all!

Our home away from home!

Just hanging out before or after swimming!

Riding the 4-wheeler like a big boy with Daddy! Go Asher!

Enjoying one of the slides at the lake! It was so fun to watch
them get the hang of it and really have an absolute blast on those slides!

Playing in the sand with the pro...Daddy! :)

Maw-Maw & Paw-Paw enjoying their great grandkids!

Okay, so I am slowing trying to catch up on my blog...sorry for the slow posting. December was crazy, but good! Anyways, back in November, Rob and I took a 10 anniversary trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We left a few days after Thanksgiving and went with some of our best friends, Jeanna and Justin, whom we have known since college and who also celebrated their 10 year anniversary in October. My parents were gracious enough to keep our boys while we were away and even though all the boys were sick and having to take medicine numerous times a day, they faithfully took care of them and made it possible for us to have a relaxing vacation! Thank you so much Mom and Dad for being so generous and for caring for our boys and blessing Rob and I in that way! We are most grateful!
So, now here are a few pics from our Mexico adventure! We relaxed, swam, sunbathed, biked, played tennis, ate, and ate some more! Overall it was a blast and I can't wait 'til we get to do it again! ;)

My parents, still looking sane, BEFORE we headed out!

Friends, even after all these years and all the miles between us!

Friends who love to give each other their favorite things, books!

FL Vacation '09

Well, at long last here are our pictures from our vacation to Sarasota, FL! We stayed in a condo on Lido Beach! It was fabulous! The 20 hour road trip wasn't the best, but memories were made, none the less! Next time we'll fly though.... ;)
Enjoy the pics and video!
