Busy summer!

We have traveled pretty much all of July!

Before Austin and I left for our lovely trip, Frances and I took to the kids to Fort Morgan.  We had a great time. They are growing up too fast! Ebbie drove the bumper boat by herself and Bo drove the race car by himself!!!

Today we're off to Chattanooga to visit our niece Nettie Taylor who has been in the hospital there for too long! Please keep her in your prayers!

Love,
Deidre

Finally.....

I was finally able to talk Austin into a few things.

To rent us a Jeep - 

To read my favorite book - 

To go snorkeling - 

But I couldn't talk him in to this - 

Here are a few more pictures from our last day at Cap Juluca in Anguilla, BWI!

Look at the rays thru the clouds!!

Beautiful sunset for our last night

Good food

Great Restaurant. We ate here twice in one day

We are so thankful for this trip and the time together to reconnect and celebrate 10 years of marriage!  A special thank you to ALL of you who helped care for our kids while we were away ; )

 Love you all!

Snorkeling

We went snorkeling yesterday and had a GREAT time! Of course we saw a barracuda right before we jumped in off the boat but our guides assured us it wouldn't bother us. I bought a nifty little phone case so I could take pictures under water. So, there are several pictures but some are clearer than others. We fly home tomorrow!

 

Our boat's first mate...ELVIS! Our captain was Eddie!

Huge Lizards. I'm sure they have some nice island name but it's still a lizard.

The snorkeling crew!

Love y'all!

Hello from Anguilla.

Hey all! Sorry if the layout of this blog is funky.... I'm posting from the iPad and I can't really control where text and pics go.  But it's beautiful and we're having a great time.
     Bo and Ebbie, we love y'all and will see you soon!!
Also, although we're in this beautiful place, our thoughts and prayers are with our sweet niece Nettie Taylor who is in the hospital. Anybody who sees this post please send up a prayer for her!!

Cute things

Since I want the kids to be able to go back to see things they did I also want to tell about funny/cute things they say.

Both stories are for Ebbie today.

Since Ebbie is starting kindergarten soon, we had to do a little uniform shopping about a month ago.  She has a strong sense of style so this was not a lot of fun for her! Here is a picture just to show how she loves to dress.....all by herself.

So....I had to try a pair of khaki pants on her, just to get the right size, and she was literally crying her eyes out because she hated them! When Austin got home that evening I was telling him about her dislike of the khaki pants and she turned to Bo and said "But Bo, we got you some wacky pants!"


Next, Bo was telling us a story about a kid in the neighborhood who drives around on his dirt bike.  Ebbie said "Yeah and it's cwazy because he doesn't even have a lice!" (a license - HA)

Ebbie you are so stinking cute!!!!
Love you so much!
