Life is a Beach!

We were packed and ready to a week at the beach, and all Zibe could do is ask, "Which way to the water?" He was so excited. I am not sure if it was his new googles, or the fact that we had burned his water wings and he was going to get the chance to swim like a "BIG boy." And as you all know, he is a BIG boy!

On our way out of town I met up with my BFF, Christy to do some last minute beach shopping. We tried on a variety of hatys and this big floppy one was the best choice. When Houston saw it, he asked me why I didn't get a "Kenny" style hat! What a country boy!



Well we had at the beach, alot of family time...lets just say 11 of us, 6 adults and 5 kids...which one of those was a 6 month old baby.  But our vacation didn't start out has a blast. We get to our hotel on Wednesday which ends up not meeting our expectations...even a roach would not stay there! so we load all of our luggage and to one vehicle and all the bodies in another and drive down the beach hotel to hotel to find something, anything, better than what we were in.  We finnally did!



Ocean Treasures

One of the days we are in a hunt for awesome shelss, which are rare to find (unless you go to the junk store across the street and buy something) My awesome hunters, Houston and Zibe fing a live star fish and a snail!
If only we had a salt water tank to keep them alive...well we don't so we are going to murder them for our shell jar. Pray for our sins!!

The beach trip is over and we had a great time!

Trees are brown!

Living down this dirt road, it gives me so much to learn about life. It helps you slow down and take it day by day! (If I was always on the go, my car would be dust color.) My kids have taught me so much when is comes life. Most importantly I learn their interest and passions. For example, Railee loves horses. Anything about them, books, figurines, etc. She is nothing like I was has a kid...who grew up on pavement. Now Zibe is my outdoors boy. Just like his daddy. He loves fishing and hunting and can't forget catching bugs. Another way he is like his daddy is eyes. Even though Zibe's are brown and Houston's are green, they see life the same way...in simple colors...that they see the same. Zibe has taught us that when we look at trees that they are one color... BROWN. Not just the trunk but the whole thing. Got to love living down a dirt road!

Getting Started

Here we go! I always have taken life serious and told my self I would never live down a dirt road...but now I would not change the fact that my vechile is always covered in dust. My life has always been prim and proper, until the marriage and the big move down a dirt road! Here is where real life begins...
