Annual Desert Springs Marriott Trip



Checking out the views


Going on the boat ride at the hotel

the restaurant was cold!

Lilly and Gavin are too cute together! They really love eachother!

Lilly was so brave doing flips off the side of the pool, She got a little too close

and cut her head open on the side of the pool. She was ok after

a quick er trip!!

Isaac and the goggles... even though he doesn't acually put his face near

the water.

Me and Jackie at the spa!!

Beach Trip August 3rd

We had such a good time at the beach. Chad and Jackie's girls were here visiting and so the kids had a lot of fun together. We finally got Halle back on the boogie board after the last trips failure (she ate it pretty bad and was DONE) Isaac got lost for a few scary minutes, but overall a great day!

Sink or float?

A great game for the kids! Have them collect a bucket of 10 or so items and then make predictions about the items. Will they sink or float??? Compare your results wuth their guesses. They can do this for hours!!

CUTE

J Crew has children's line called Crewcuts. Most pieces are out of budget for me, but I so enjoy their catalog and drooling over the intersting outfits and collections that they come up... so different from anywhere else. I saw this petal backpack and thought it was worth mentioning. One of the cutest things I have ever seen! And get this... less than $30!

A Mango kind of Mornin'

Love these shots of Isaac & Gavin havin' a mango before church one Sunday morning.
