37

I celebrated my 37th birthday working and then lunch with Todd and Laynie at the revenue office getting my driver's license renewed! When I got off work Todd had a cake waiting for me! Didn't quite turn out how he expected but it was super yummy!



Now off to Sushi Cafe! Can't wait to introduce Todd to it's deliciousness!

5th and 3rd Grade

Kennedy starts 5th grade today and Camryn 3rd. I just can't believe it! 

Aunt KK came over the last night and gave everyone manicures and pedicures! 

She also brought them bubble gum necklaces and a present! 

This is the last year these 2 will be at HCE together!

Last Beach Day

So sad our vacation is coming to an end! We comforted ourselves with Donut Hole donuts for breakfast!

                                              Camryn found a hermit crab which I accidentally packed in the suitcase with ALL the clean clothes! I found it in their bathroom and thought oh that's a pretty shell, I'll take that one home. Unpacking was not pleasant! They die and get stinky rather quickly.

This traditional photo had to be modified a bit - Laynie was asleep in the car with Todd waiting on our table to eat at Great Southern Cafe 

Beach Day 6

We spent all morning at the beach and all afternoon at the pool. We had to drag these girls in at 6:30! They met a girl from Texas and spent the entire afternoon swimming and talking to her. We stayed in and made tacos tonight and then went to Blue Mountain Ice Cream for dessert. Afterwards we went hunting for crabs and caught TONS! Laynie fell asleep in my lap sitting by the shore. What a peaceful way to end a perfect day! 

                                We have been so blessed with beautiful water each day!

 Hot tub family selfie. You have to be 16 to get in the hot tub and the girls were devastated upon hearing this! No one was in it so we let them soak for a while. Camryn is not our rule breaker and was so nervous!

                                             The girls all got cookie doughlicious!

 This is Laynie's "smile for the camera" smile. She says she doesn't know how to smile!

Beach Day 5

These girls aren't tired of it yet! We started the day swimming in the ocean pool. Todd found a jelly fish pretty early and the girls were a little apprehensive of getting in the ocean but we finally convinced them! After a fun day at the beach we went to The Candy Bar in Water Color and then to the Red Bar for dinner. We didn't get seated until 9:30 and poor Laynie just couldn't hang with it. She was perfect but was literally eating her chicken strips in her sleep!

                                                      We buried the little joker!

                                 The clams entertained Laynie for most of the afternoon
