Beach Out-takes:)

Here are a few funny pictures that I just want to remember:)

Our annual "silly" picture.
 The boys being goofy!
 Kinda like real-life:)
 For real.
 Evan showing off his skilz...
 Poppy and the test pic:)  He was making sure the remote worked!
 Another silly shot...
 What Beau was really thinking:)
 Caught in the act.  All.the.time.
 Wow.  This makes my stomach turn!  There really was NO possible way for him to get off that balcony, I promise!!
 A view of the beach on a really busy day!  It looks absolutely packed!  We were further down and really had a space all of our own.  This was more in the middle of the condo.
 This couldv'e been a great pic.  Beau wasn't having it though.
Just a few fun memories.  WE LOVE THE BEACH!!

Beach Pics...Part 2

MORE beach pics...

I just LOVE this pic of my parents with all the kiddos!
 Me and sweet Georgia Leigh!!!  Love her!!
 This was the best it got for the 5 of us:)
 Poppy and Georgia:)
 Why is it that the pics of your back are always the best??
 Another try...not too bad.  (Did I mention that I was wearing my mom's swimsuit cover-up?? :)
 Precious boys...
 My Mommy and Daddy:)
 Sweet little fam...
 Awww, her Daddy loves her!
 My sweetie!!
I know, SO many pictures, but I love them all.  This was absolutely my most favorite beach trip yet!!!  I can't wait for next year!!!

Beach Pics...Part 1

We took our annual beach pics on Thursday night.  It's always SUCH a hassle, but I'm always SO glad we did it when it's all over!!  If only someone knew how to edit, we would be set:)

Anyway, here are our unedited beach pics!!

On the balcony with my sweeties!
Travis and his boys!
My Blaker...so handsome and grown-up.

Ev looking ever so cool.

Family balcony shot.  Seriously, someone should at least edit it enough to get us centered:)  Someone want to teach me?

Travis and I.  Love him.

Kyle, Amy, and Georgia in their first beach pic!!!

The fam.  Since Amy couldn't actually go down to the beach, we tried for a good family pic on the balcony.  Thanks to the tripod and remote I think it turned out pretty good!!!

Nonnie and her babies!

Our only family beach shot.  We were right off the path at a state park site that we found.  Poor Amy's crutches sunk fast in the sand.  She was such a trooper!!

Kyle, Amy, and Georia.  SO sweet!!
My boys.  Usually it is Evan that we fight for a good picture.  I told both boys before we started that Beau was going to be SO hard, and that they just had to be perfect and smile the whole time.  And guess who was the problem...Blake.  Seriously, I was ready to beat him before we were done:)

I really love this picture.  Just looks so much "like" them!!!
I love this one too!!!

Seriously, I could eat this up!!  Obviously, needs to be edited:)
Probably my most fave pic of the 3 of them!!!
More to come!!!

Bubba's and the "Shark"

On our last night, we decided to eat at Bubba's (for the second time).  It's pretty much our all time beach fave.  Everybody decided it was a good crab leg night!

Travis, Beau, and I getting ready to eat!
 Me, Amy, mom, and Georgia.  Amy~I promise your eyes were open the most in this one;)
 Kyle, Georgia, and Amy
 Nonnie and the big boys!
'
Nonnie and Poppy!
'
 There were a LOT of crab legs on this table!!!!
 We even let Blake and Evan order crab legs.  The loved every bite!!
 After dinner we had to make our annual trip to Souvenir City in Gulf Shores.  We have a picture in the shark's mouth every year we have been there!
 Nonnie and the grandbabies!! You would think since a million people a day take a pic right here, that they might move the overflowing trash can over just a little bit:)
 Our family pic!  Silly Beau!!!
The boys were determined to find a souvenir from the beach.  After we scoured Souvenir City and came up empty, we had to try 3 other shops before we finally found the perfect purchases.  Evan ended up with a tie-dye Orange Beach t-shirt (which I'm realizing as I type this, he hasn't even worn once) and Blake got a keychain with his name on it.  It was a busy last night, but we enjoyed it all!

The Wharf

One afternoon we headed down to The Wharf in Orange Beach to check it out.  There are lots of shops and a really cool ferris wheel.  We always say we are going to ride it, but never have.  So, this time I was determined we would!!
 Travis, Poppy, Evan, Beau, and I rode.  It was fun!!
 The riders afterwards!  It was SO hot!!!
 One afternoon we headed to Foley to the outlet mall.  I love to shop, but the boys, not so much.  I was in the Carter's outlet, and this is where I found them:)
 Another afternoon Travis took the big boys to play putt-putt.  They had a great time.
They also went to the Gulf Shores Museum.  What a treat;)  Ha!!  Of course, Blake and Evan both loved it.  I'm thankful that Travis was willing to take them!!

Balcony Pics

One of my favorite parts about the beach is a great balcony beach view.  We definitly had that this year.  I love to sit out at night when it is dark and listen to the ocean. 

I also love pics on the balcony.  Here were are ready for dinner one night!
Another night on the balcony.  Beau really loved to look off the balcony.  It made us all VERY nervous!  I have a death grip on him in this picture!!

 Me and my sweet baby Beau!!
 Happy family pic!!
 I just love this.  Brothers hanging out together!!  I wonder what Ev is saying to him??
 My mom and I!  I love this picture!!  She could never deny me:)
I just love beach pics.  I think I will have about 10 posts by the time I am done!!
