Xander & His First Mangrove Snapper


Xander caught this snapper off of our dock with a piece of a hot dog! Hadden caught something too...Misty! He had a hot dog on his hook and pulled it up on the dock and Misty tried to eat it! She did get hooked in her mouth but Jim was able to get it out and she is ok- just a cut. No more fishing with hot dogs!

Trip to Tallahassee

Rainbow I spotted on my drive home..somewhere near G'ville.

Up close with Liam at Chili's.
Me & Miki





I got to visit with some friends and spend some time with just Liam as he and I made the trip alone. For some reason, my camera won't upload all the pics to my computer so I am going to have to take it in to retrieve them...sorry Liam!

Liam Loses Another Tooth




Liam lost his last front tooth. He is basically toothless now. Luckily, his new teeth seem to come in quickly!

Hadden's 3rd Birthday
















We drove back from our NC trip on Hadden's birthday. As soon as we returned the rental car (that was fun), we celebrated Hadden's birthday with BBQ & birthday cake. We are having a "real" birthday party for him a few weeks after his actual birthday.

Smokey Mountains, Elk, & Marleigh





We met up with our friends Page, Steve, & Marleigh, who moved from Tallahassee to Durham, NC just before we moved to Melbourne. We spent the day in the mountains walking a trail, picnic lunch, and then swimming in the hotel pool. These elk were just off the road as we were driving so we pulled off to check them out! They got REALLY close!
