Daytona Beach 2010

Well, last week we were finally on vacation!! It was so much fun this year. he girls are finally old enough to both enjoy the beach and they LOVE riding the waves in the ocean with Clint. Every day when we would drive onto the beach, Aubrey would scream, "My beach!! I LOVE my beach" as she hugged herself! It was precious.

We really couldn't have asked for the kids to do better on the drive down. We drove 8 hours on Friday, only stopping twice (once was for lunch) then stopped for the night. Saturday we drove the final 5 hours and only had to stop once or twice. Each day down there we would make our way to the beach by about 9am, and stay until the girls were unhappy - which was usually around 2:30 or 3:00. Then we'd head back to the condo for naps. We spent the evenings hanging out with fanily and relaxing - sometimes walking on the beach, swimming in the pool, or playing Scrabble It was really a GREAT trip!

So here are a few pics. I'm not sure what the deal is with the size of them. I thought I was going to do a long post today, but I'm running on 2 1/2 hours of sleep (thanks to the new Twilight movie coming out last night), so I'm about at my limit. I'll post soon though :)

Update.....

Ok, so lots has happened lately, and I need to FINALLY post about it.

This week both girls have been sick :( It started Sunday when Aubrey was running a bit of fever. She missed school both Monday and Tuesday (lot sof thanks to my mom and mother-in-law!!!!). I took her to the doctor and (of course) was told it's a virus. So nothing we can do!! Then at about 3:00 yesterday I received a call from Madelyn's school to come pick her up. By the time I got there, she felt like she was on fire. I took her to the doctor and there was was running 103 fever. I was told she too has a virus. So basiclaly she's miserable and had over 104 fever all night.

She has relaly been coming up with crazy things to talk about. Just the other mornign she told me, "Hey mom. The day that God made the whole world, Aubrey had a little bit of diarrhea." I'm not sure WHERE she came up with that, but it was FUNNY!!

In other news, I found out yesterday that my mom is getting remarried on July 24th. It's been over 5 years now since my Dad passed, and we're all very happy for my Mom, although I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a lot to get used to.

Please pray for our family right now. Lots of illness and change coming!!!
