Okay, all you bloggers. Get settled in nice and comfy for this one. It’s a LOOOOONG post! I have a very good reason for taking a break from blogging this past week…VACATION! We had an amazing week at the beach with my Dad and Mom (Boom-Boom and Li-Li); My brother and sister-in-law, Reeves and Rebecca, and their son, Tallon; and my other brother and sister-in-law, Andrew and Erin. What a week!!! We had so much fun playing, talking, shopping, eating, laughing, and spending time together. I LOVE these people so much, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to spend the week with them! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mom and Dad, for an AMAZING week!!!
I’m going to go ahead an apologize for the obnoxious amount of pictures…Hey, I’m making up for a week of no blogging, Remember?!?!
Baby CB still LOVES the beach! We had the hardest time keeping her on the sand when the water was too rough.

Okay- this picture makes me laugh out loud EVERY time I see it! I LOVE my nephew!
These two people will never have to ask twice for a babysitter once they have kids…They are SOOOO GOOD at entertaining their nephews and neice! Thanks, Andrew and Erin! We can’t wait to return the favor in a few years! (No pressure or anything 😉 )
Tal and Li-Li sharing a yummy bite
Sweet cousin lovin’
Tal napped for about an hour and a half in the hammock one morning!
“Sweet T”
Boom-Boom knows he’s cool!
The three kids had a great time playing together. It was nice to have built-in playmates!
More playing on the beach…
And a sweet little “fussy fit”
Li-Li helped the kids throw bread for the seagulls (Tal and CB kept most of the bread for themselves!)
Rob, Julie, and Luke came to play for the day. Thanks for visiting, Guys! We had a GREAT time with y’all!

Collin did some very informal pictures of the kids and my parents on Wednesday evening. Informal and un-posed is the only way to go with Mak these days! 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Baby Boy running to the ocean in this one!
I LOVE Mom and Clara Beth dancing in the background!

She’s yelling “Da-Dee, Da-Dee, Da-Dee!!!”
Aww…sharing
And then not…
Sweet Family!
We were so happy to have Brandon, Jessica, Parson, and Lilah come for Thursday and Friday. I LOVE Parson’s face here!
We took Brandon’s boat out on Friday morning. Our boys LOVED it. Our girls DID NOT!
Andrew and Erin bought some Kayaks that they used throughout the week. It looked like so much fun!
Makgill even got to go out! He was Soooo Relaxed!
A big day for Miss CB…She got to turn around in her carseat for the ride home! She kept pointing at the windshield saying “Ooooh, Ooooh!”
Mak was EXHAUSTED from the week. He fell asleep by himself in the den while we were upstairs unpacking! This NEVER happens!
The LONG slideshow of a week too short!

Hey Aron – I feel like I was there with you after seeing all your wonderful pics! Clara Beth looks like she is getting soooo big! Glad ya’ll had a great time.
glad ya’ll had fun and glad ya’ll are back…even if you aren’t. Vacations are so fun to pack for and so terribly difficult to unpack from.
we’ve missed you guys and hope to see you before too long.
AWESOME PICTURES!!! Wish we could start the vacation over again!!! I am already looking forward to next summer!!! Thanks for a week of lots of FUN- talking, laughing, playing and eating some yummy seafood!
