African goodies

Today was my first day back to work after what felt like a very long vacation! I was so excited to get back to work. I love my job and the people I work with , I think they like me too ;)

Well too bad I failed to get a picture of Jessica who just got back from spending 8 wks in Togo, Africa! After work this evening we went to Granny & Papa's to eat Mexican chowder and visit with Aunt Jess :) It ended up being Jasmine Nathan & their girlies and Jacob Katie & their 4- the cousins (which are 8 kids total!) had lots of fun running around in the yard, catching frogs, picking vegetables out of Josh's garden, & playing sardines and hide & go seek. Wish I had gotten pictures of that too- oh well! 

These are the awesome African souvenirs Jess got us!! She got josh a hand made knife but it's not pictured..:)

Okay/ that's it for now! Even though granny had tons of yummy food to eat these are my kids eating granola bars and PB sandwiches instead :(

Gulf Shores 2014

We made our annual girls beach trip to Gulf Shores this past week & had so much fun! I took about a thousand pictures and I've already ordered them to be delivered next week so I'll only upload a few favorites :)

This was the evening we got there, the wind was crazy and waves were out of control! We later found out that a young man was swept away this very evening in GS.:(  praying for his family! Can't imagine.. 

Shout out to Mama for snapping this pic of Andrea Whitney and myself. Very classic :)

Whitney made the 2014 out of shells, I think this picture turned out pretty perfect!! 

If you know mama, you know she's not crazy about "fake smiling" for pictures. Some of the best shots I took of her & the girls were from behind, haha!

Thank goodness for the iPhone, otherwise I wouldn't have this picture!! Love my girls:)

 

Okay I have tons more but I'll stop there..
