Twins

For the longest time when people saw pictures of Tori and Riley they would say how much they thought that they looked alike. As they are getting older I am not for sure that they look alike as much as they used to, but it was fun to dress them alike. Everyone who saw them that night thought that they were sisters. Riley is for sure in the stage of "Monkey see, Monkey do" Tori had a little shadow all week long.

Swimming

It was really nice that the house did have a pool, a small one but it still did the job. The kids had a great time swimming and as you can see from the pictures I think the adults did too. Tori and Riley swimming together
Being a great example for the kids!

Olympics in Myrtle Beach

The Olympics was on the entire time we were at the beach, so of course my family was watching it every night. A couple of them thought they would start preparing and see if they could get a little beach volleyball action going on. My mom and dad where in on the action too. It was pretty funny!

1st day on the beach

Let the fun begin. The kids had so much fun on the beach. It is amazing how long they will play in sand.

A family castle project.

Not for sure if Riley really liked this or not?

Beach trip 2008!

Our trip to the beach was awesome! My parents and sister and her family were able to come from MO and we headed down to Myrtle Beach. It was such a relaxing trip, Leon even said it was probably the most relaxing trip we have ever taken. Riley loved spending time with her grandparents, cousins and of course her aunt and uncle. Family memories were created that will last a life time and were much needed for everyone. I give God thanks, for allowing us to have this special time together. The house was great and just a block from the ocean. We rented a golf cart, which was a huge hit for the kids and the adults. Here are some of the highlights of our trip.

Way behind!

Some of you have been emailing asking if everything is o.k. out here due to the lack of updates and pictures. I am SORRY! Needless to say, the new job is keeping me very busy. I have been named the "Queen of Pictures" I think I have lost my title. It has now been a month since our beach trip and I just finished cropping them today. So here comes the updates!!!!!
