Snow-Birthday!

I'm finally back to my blog. I've missed it, but got kind of covered up with all of our activities. I'll try to catch up eventually, but today its just about Isaiah and snow! Our little man is two, but still my baby in so many ways! Isaiah was so cute when it started snowing last night. We were out to dinner and shopping and he just laughed and laughed as the big flakes fell on his face. This morning he woke up and looked out his window with a "whoa!". I wasn't planning to let them go out and get all wet and cold after being sick, but I caved.....how often are we going to get 3 inches of snow in Charlotte?! Here are pictures from this morning with present and cake pictures coming later.

 Do you wanna build a snowman?

 He liked just tromping around in the snow, which was great because it was such a wet snow and he didn't get himself soaked through.

 I really love this yard!

 Proud of her work....named him Frosty, because you know, that's original. LOL

 SNOW!

 All hands.

 Maryann, here is the MIL cottage, but not until we add a bathroom. When you come we are all ready to set you up in the playroom. ;)

Alligators and Spanish Moss

Here is the last of the beach week. We drove down through the Everglades in search of alligators in the wild. The first two stops were a bust and just as Aaron said "I really don't think you're going to find anything"......we found a live gator! It was pretty awesome, although to be fair he had a bum eye and may have been close to death. He seemed pretty docile? On the return trip we stopped in Savannah again. I just love that city! The kids enjoyed a morning in Forsyth park. We also got the final details on the project in Denver, Co. We would get home that evening and would be back on the road in under 72 hours!

 Looking for gators.

 This guy got even closer after this to toss saltines to the alligator.

 Not huge, but still a good sized guy.

 Little ham.

Spanish moss scarf....trendsetter?

Fort Lauderdale Beach

Of all the beaches we've ever visited I'd have to say this one tops my list. From the cool wave wall that lit up at night, to the picnic tables, grills and playgrounds, this is just a super cool place for families!

 Not too thrilled looking, is he?

 The Wave wall.

 So cool to have basketball courts on the beach.

 This was also on the beach, how cool is that?

 See the lights in the wall, they went through the whole rainbow in rotation.

 After our hot day at the beach we got ourselves a nice set up....of course it was cloudy, oh well.

 I was impressed with this rock because I've always wanted to see a rocky coast with the seaspray, etc.

 The boys fed the seagulls most of their chips.

 Isaiah thought the birds were so funny fighting over the chips.

 Levi was trying to dump sand on the gulls.

 The kids think this is the world's tiniest sea shell.

 Isaiah was NOT impressed with the rock.
