"How He Loves Us"

I heard this song not long ago and have loved it. I found out the first single on the new David Crowder CD is this song. I love his version and you can listen to it on itunes - but it's not on you tube so I'm sharing this one - which is good too. "How He Loves Us" listen to this and remember just how much He really does love us!

Family at the Beach

We got to spend some time with Jody's sister and brother in law in Destin before Jody and I had to leave to come home. They arrived in Destin near the end of our time in Destin but we got to spend an evening and a day with them. They invited the girls to stay with them in Destin. Of course Taylor and Aubrey were all for this!! Taylor and Aubrey just love their cousins Kaleigh and Gabriella. They had a fun time playing in the ocean, building sand castles, and swimming in the pool before I left. I am glad they got to spend this time with their family, they made some great memories and had a great time!!

Here are a few pictures that I got with my camera before I left. I am sure the girls will have many more when they get home!!

More Destin Pictures

Here are a few more beach pictures. The girls enjoyed building sand castles, floating on the waves, and just lying/sitting at the beach. It was a great time at the beach.

the beach

We love the beach!! We had a lot of fun at the Universal parks but we were ready to get to the beach. After several hours of driving...we got to Destin. This was the girls first time at a Florida beach. They had been to South Carolina beaches ALL their life! So this was a new experience for them. They liked the white sand and the clear water (sometimes) and the pretty shells they found. They did not like Nana and Papaw not being at the beach with them :( We missed you all!!

We ate some great food. You will see a picture of Cheeseburger in Paradise, which you may remember I think has the best chicken sandwich in the world on the menu.

You will also see a picture of a Dippin Dot bowl. In Destin there is a store that sells just Dippin Dots. There were probably 25 or more differetn flavors of Dippin Dots in this store. The girls were soooo excited. Aubrey LOVES Dippin Dots. She wanted to go every night and try all the different flavors.

Aubrey also got her haircut while in Destin. She loves to have short hair. Her new haircut looks so cute!!

More Fun at Universal and Sea World

Here are a few more pictures from Universal Studios, Island of Adventure and Sea World. All the parks were fun, even though Disney World IS STILL our favorite. I am glad we were able to experience the Universal Parks. I loved Sea World and the Shamu Show. It was awesome and the people who work with the sharks are so talented.

Dancing at Universal and Sea World

Here are pictures of the girls dancing in Orlando. All the girls did a great job and had so much fun. It is such a privilege for the dance studio to get asked to perform at Universal and Sea World. I am glad we were able to go and the girls were able to make these memories. You can tell in the pictures how much fun they had while they were dancing. Thanks Mrs. Ashley for getting this trip all together for the girls.

Where have you been?

I am glad you asked. We have been to Universal Studio, Island of Adventure, Sea World and Destin Beach. We had a great time. It was VERY hot!! We went to Universal Studios and Sea World so that the girls could perform with their dance studio. Here are pictures from Universal Studio and Island of Adventure - hope you enjoy!!
