Snow days

Here are my adorable children ready for church. They dress themselves so you never know what they will come up with. Emma is the queen of matching and makes sure the colors all match. Cate does the same but she sometimes chooses too many patterns! I love them all, they are the highlight of my day and why i choose to stay home! The girls both have new hair cuts and look fantastic. They grow up too fast for me!!

Seriously, they are too cute for words. FYI, i have new furniture so my family room is way cuter then this now!!Today is another snow day!! I love my kids but i hate snow days. Sometimes they are ok but today its too cold to go outside so we are all stuck inside. This pic was taken during our last snow day!
So today is spent trying to clean and organize my house. Its not really my favorite job but who will do it if i wont?! Cant wait for summer......

Sanibel Island

Me and Richard decided to take our very first alone trip since our honeymoon. We will have our 9th anniversary this year and we needed a break from life. We found out from a friend that Sanibel island in Florida was a great place so off we went. We actually stayed in a beautiful resort and spa in Fort Meyer which is right at the bridge leading to the island. We were there for 4 days and we think i inhaled 15 pina coladas (virgin, of course). We layed by the beach and the pool and went to the spa and we have never been so relaxed before!

While we were lounging on the beach this crazy bird was standing a few feet away. He just stood there for a really long time and never moved he was a beautiful bird, i dont know what kind he is though.
On the island all the MANSIONS, yes mansions, were backed by canals so they could keep there boats ready at all times. Man, what a hard life these people lead! :)
Just a beautiful day at the beach
Sanibel is know for the beaches being made out of sea shells, here we are standing on the beach. We collected some for the kids and put them in their bathroom. my foot is still swollen from my surgery, so my shoes dont fit very well!
Driving in our rag top jeep, cruising. I'm not gonna lie we thought we were pretty cool.
Now we are ready for our next vacation. We had way to much fun together!
