Spring Break 2015

We went back to Pompano Beach for spring break this year with our good friends.  We had so much fun!

The boys packed their ENOs and found the perfect spot to put them up each day.

We also took the kids to the cart races in Pompano Beach.  They lasted all of 3 races, but they had fun picking horses.

While there, Ben turned 16!  For his birthday, he wanted to become certified in SCUBA.

This also inspired the other kids to want to try snorkeling.  Since Ben had a GoPro, he was able to get some great photos while they were out.

The sweet frozen treats from the tiki bar are always a huge hit!!!

We spent many days by the pool.  The weather was fantastic!

And the girls enjoyed lunch on the balcony every day...

For Ben's birthday dinner, we went to an awesome restaurant right on the water.  I took the big camera along and was so glad that I did.

One afternoon, the girls finally wore the dads down enough to go Banana Boating.  They loved it.

We really did have a fantastic time.  I can't wait to go back!

March 2014

It's hard to believe that I have not blogged here since March.  I find myself coming back to this blog looking for old photos that I know I posted.  It really has made me think how important this blog is to our family and documenting our lives together.

One of my goals for the New Year is to not get so far behind again.

In the next few posts, I am going to do a summary of each month starting with March 2014.

We lost my great aunt in March.  She is the one in pink.  Cancer sucks.

Baseball started back.  This is a photo of Brendan's first at bat in a middle school game.

Of course Emma was also playing soccer...

We had a major ice storm.  It was crazy how fast the ice accumulated.

But then just a week later, we saw lots of signs of spring.  Finally!

The of course we celebrated St. Patrick's Day:

We also left for Florida at the end of March for spring break.  Here is Emma sorting through all of her bathing suits.

JC and the kids also ran the Spartan Carolinas Sprint.  They all did fabulous.  Brendan won his age group!

And we finally made it to Pompano Beach for 7 wonderful nights at the end of March and beginning of April.
