Chilly day at the beach


Dec 20 2012

After a morning of rain and cloudy skies (some indoor swimming), after lunch and naps,
 the sun finally came out.  
And this boy was ready to hit the beach.  
toes in the sand
God just showed out.  


And the digging begins. 
 my baby boys tiny feet. 
Noah was in a zone.  He is such an organized self motivated player.  



Cheesing for Daddy.

We had the whole beach to ourselves.


My favorite picture of the day. 
Learning to share with Max.  The boys just ran around chasing each other, digging, 
and covering themselves.
Group pic with our friends.
Drew and Greg.
High Fives.
Me and Abby (and baby boy #3 on the way)
Me and My honey. I loved spending time with Drew picking up shells and showing the boys the jelly fish that had washed ashore from the storm. 
Abby and Greg

And Sunset after a wonderful day.  
As we shared the morning, and began to pack up I just remembered how God places people in our lives with we need them most.  Loved fellowship, conversation, and sharing life with a couple that is in the same stage of life as we are.  
 So glad to have made such special friends.
And after a 4 hour drive back home, we stopped with one hour to go to let the boys play a little and pose of course with the giant watermelon.  


December beach trip

Dec 19 2012

 On the road headed to the Gulf.

Our wonderful friends, Greg and Abby and their boys invited us down for a quick beach trip.  

The boys were so excited.
                                                                 1st sight of sand.
Love that they held hands.
Just to see if we are coming. 
And they took off.  
Luke loved the sand.  He just kept running it through his hands.

They both loved watching the seagulls.


Dragging Momma along.


It was absolutely gorgeous. 

And they we met up with our friends.

Old Town Scottsdale

Dec 17 2012

We visited downtown Scottsdale.  
We walked around taking in the sights.  
We stopped by some great shops and I for one loved seeing all the Mexican tops that reminded me of trips to Matamoros.  
I really should have bought one.  
Taste testing some of the best Pepper Chocolate Chip cookies at the farmers market. 
Saw the cutest little volkswagen. 
We ate at the best place.  The Mission
tiny tasty tacos
Love this view 
Then we shopped some more.  Love these men. 
I found really great boots.  
Then we took in some art. 


A neat little alcove.
Really love this place and could live here.  Rich culture. 
Mom and J.
