Let's go strollin'




Ty decided he wanted to try biking without training wheels. We haven't given him a whole lot of time to go bike riding so I think it might take a few times! But he's not going to waste any time trying!
Karson decided to try some roller skating. He actually picked up on it really well!!

Mary thought she could try the bike, too. It was kinda funny... I just looked over at her and she had the helmet on trying to get on the bike. Hilarious.

Play til you can't play no more...

Gotta love the Keys!!

Singin' Irish tunes on St. Patty's day... it's pretty wild with a bunch of old drunk people. We sang "Danny Boy" and "Irish Eyes are Smiling" so many times that I think I might never be able to sing them ever again. No- maybe I'll be ready again my next St. Patrick's Day. But I'll tell you what- St. Patty's day will never EVER be the same again. That's all I have to say about that.

We got to go golfing at the club... I did awful... but it was great to get out there again!
At the top of this picture is the deadly "man-a-war". They were everywhere- I even kicked one and didn't die. I was very proud of myself. Granted, it was dead...
We went out on the boat to go do some snorkeling. But I don't have a whole lot of pictures, I was too busy puking. There's nothing like puking into the ocean. Anyway- there were fish jumping out of the water everywhere and the pelicans were having a great time. This was the same day in about the same spot where the stingray jumped out of the water into a boat that was going 30mph, hit a lady and the impact killed her. Pretty wild!!
You can always count on your husband to take pictures of you at your best. Like right after you have been puking.
Kregg and Hal did do a little snorkeling, but the waters were too rough and there was no visibility. So when we got back to the canals they decided to take a little bit calmer swim. Anyway- we had a great time in Florida- definitely a trip we won't forget anytime soon!!

Dolphins!

Again... not my proudest moment...


Here and at the aquarium was when we were wishing our kids were with us... they would've loved it. They also had sea otters and a few other animals.

The Key West Aquarium

This was the most exciting thing for us down there in Key West was the aquarium. I don't know if it's because our kids are so into animals and stuff, but we just love it. I'm not real proud to post this picture- but I did just for you Sherry!
Kregg thought he was so cool- lookin' like he was holding this crab... but it came out a little blurry. Sorry guys!

It was pretty wild watching these sharks devour that fish. Blood everywhere and everything. It was cool.



Kregg got "hands-on" with a few of the animals... this horeshoe crab was pretty creepy looking- but pretty harmless. Although he is in the scorpion family (ew).


We got to pet this nurse shark (how bad is that when you can't remember what kind of shark this is- you ask your 6 year old who knows?). Anyway- it was a lot of fun!

Key West


It was a crazy windy day (in fact- it was pretty much every day we were out there)...

We are pretty big Jimmy Buffet fans...
I just liked this because my maiden name is Goddard, and this quote was one of many that people would say to me when I was a teenager...


FLORIDA!!


How pretty is this??

Am I not married to the hottest guy EVER????
This is the 7-mile bridge...
What a spaz... it was great that we could act like kids again, though!
This was our backyard- no luck with any bites, though! There were a few needlefish that kept teasing him.

Feeding the ducks

You all know how much I like to take pictures of the backs of everybodies heads... this is at Traci's apartment.



These ducks were insane!! They knew exactly what we were there for, and they weren't shy about taking our food. I loved throwing food at my bro's feet so they could all attack him.
Mary had a blast!! They were all taller than she was- but she had no fear at all. I was sure freaked out for her, though. Ty actually got bit by one, he wasn't too happy.


Being with family

Ayz is getting so big! She sure loves her auntie Traci. It took her a few minutes to warm up to us again.

Introducing my new baby niece Tayvie!! Cute as heck, huh??? She was born on Valentine's Day and it was so great to finally meet her. Mary sure as heck couldn't get enough of her, though. She'll be a good big sister- hopefully!!!
Adorable, huh??
Oh man... Red Robin... You're jealous, aren't you?? I'm jealous of myself just looking at these pictures. Okay- this is what you get- the BBQ Chicken wrap (SO GOOD!!!!) and a strawberry lemonade. This is a serious disadvantage of living in a small town. I want a Red Robin. Okay- sorry about that- I'll get back to the picture. This is my beautiful family... see how Ayz is warming up to us now? I actually think she is mocking her grandma who I have way more pictures of her with her eyes closed than open.
