Our (not-so-recent) Florida Trip

Well, I can't believe it, but it's been almost 2 months since we were down in sunny Florida (and since my last blog update - oops!). Here are several pictures of our trip. They pretty much tell exactly what we did the whole time.....a lot of beach time, a lot of swim time, and a few other random fun adventures:-) We were fortunate to be able to stay with Mom and Dad G. while we were there. Thanks so much, mom and dad, for letting us stay with you and for making sure we had a great time!!

Sorry....the pictures got a little out of order, and I really didn't feel like fixing it!!! :-)

On the way down, we stopped and stayed a night with Uncle Gordon and Aunt Judy

This was a daily activity for us....digging a large hole in the sand to play in

New boogie boards!

Lance, Landon, Kelsey, and Dad getting ready to go out on the wave runners. This was probably Landon's favorite part of the whole vacation - he still talks about it!!

A Fun Little Quiz.....

I recently came upon a fun little quiz on Facebook. It's titled: 21 Questions to Feel Better About Yourself As a Mom I thought...Sure - who doesn't want to feel better about themselves as a mom? So, I opened it. Here I find 21 questions to ask your kids (individually) about yourself. The questions seem pretty cute, so I printed 3 copies. I have only had the chance to ask Maddox these questions (and he may be a little young for some of them), but it was so much fun to hear what he had to say about me!! I am so excited to ask Kelsey and Landon! I wrote all of Maddox's answers and then put his name and the date on it as well. I plan to hang onto these and hopefully get them out when they are older so we can read them and see what their little minds were thinking when they were younger. Who knows, I might even repeat the quiz every few years to see how their answers change!

So, here is the quiz for any of you moms who might be interested to see what your children think of you!! I highly recommend it because, like I said, we had a lot of fun with it!! Enjoy!
