Happy 10th Birthday Brendan!

Brendan turned 10 today! He is so happy and so grown-up I don't know what to say. He told me last night that he has been waiting for a long time to be 10. We will have his cake tonight after Robert gets home from work. This also is an indication of how mature he is, since he is not upset or complaining that he has to wait. Happy Birthday Brendan, we love you.

Tea Party....

I found some pictures that Rebecca had taken awhile ago. I thought they were so cute and really showed the mind of a child. She took many pictures of her dolls and they even looked like maybe she was making a movie with still photos. She is so creative. I just had to share.

Fabulous frames....

Aren't we cute? We love to have our pictures taken together!

There hasn't been an opportunity to get any really wonderful pictures, so I have been slow on blogging. We have been busy though. I took Brendan and Rebecca to a 5k, it was their first time in a race, my 2nd. I had gone to one by myself the weekend before and saw other kids in it. I thought it would be great for them to see what it was like and feel the thrill of finishing a race. It was hard for them, but in the end they were glad that they did. Brendan said it was the most fun he had ever had. I didn't bring a camera sorry to say, but we did get t-shirts and numbers to keep and remember.

We have also been going to the beach alot. I try to take the kids atleast 3x a week so that we get out and try to catch up with all of the realllllly tan people here. I am being careful, don't worry, there is a lot of sunscreen applied.

Well, Robert is working hard at his new job and the kids and I are finishing up with school. It won't be long now! God bless.

Lake Okeechobee....

Fan boats are the cool thing here at Lake Okeechobee. I don't know who the people are, but the boats are cool...

Justin and Katie thought the lake was neat and especially liked looking at the alligator. Robert said the alligator's name is Roger.


We took a drive down to Lake Okeechobee and it is huge. We weren't able to see much of the actual lake where we were, but we did see this cute little bird looking at his toes. I thought this view of all the palm trees looked really neat.

Wildlife of Florida...
