Sand Hollow Reservoir on a Windy Saturday

Ace the avid walker meets sand for the first time...he loved it!

The big kids had such a great time exploring, digging in the sand, collecting sand beetles and playing with friends, Kaylee and Jaren, whom I didn't get pictures of some how, :( sorry.

Cute little Acey played on a blanket with Mom most of the time and ate snacks.  There was some serious wind whipping around or it would have been a perfect day.  We stuck it out and had a really good time nonetheless.

Joe in his fishing stance?  I don't think it was working for him this time though, all they caught/found was this crazy/choked to death bass below...

Guess his eyes were bigger than his stomach.  Gag.

Joe is very proud of his pointing puppy.

Sterling mopping the floor, wow!

These were some things Joe did with the kids while I was in Florida.  I think they had fun with their Daddy, even if he did make them do chores that Mommy doesn't make them do!  I've got pretty great kids.

So after a fun-filled trip to FL I flew back about 2 weeks later for the funeral of my dear Aunt Janice who very sadly died in a car accident.  She was an amazingly humble, talented, sweet woman of great faith.  I love the memories I have of her and her twinkle-in-her-eye smile.  She will never be forgotten.  She leaves behind a husband, three children and numerous adoring grandchildren and loved ones.  One good thing that came of her passing was that very nearly the whole Davis family came together in FL to attend the funeral.  These are relatives that I hadn't seen for at least TWENTY years.  It was so wonderful to see them again and catch up on our lives.

Mommy Vacay to Paradise

I recently had the pleasure of taking a trip to Florida for a few days!  March is the perfect time to visit Florida, if anyone is wondering when a good time to go would be.  The weather was magical and the scenery is so lush and tropical.  I honestly forgot how beautiful it is there.  The very best part of my trip was spending time with family and friends!  In these pics I went on a dolphin encounter cruise with my dad and step-mom and step-brother and it was so very fun.  We saw quite a few dolphin's.  Probably the same ones over and over swimming around us but who can really tell?  We even saw a baby dolphin and it swam right under me on the boat!  Then we did some sight-seeing and they dropped us off on an island where we found seashells and sea urchin.  I also did some shopping and a lot of eating and walking around various locations and more eating.  It was very relaxing and enjoyable!  Thanks mom and dad for a really terrific time!  I got to spend but one day with Julie and David and their cute kids, it was definitely too short but so nice to be with them.
