Swimming lessons

The kids did wonderful on their first day of swimming lessons.  Miss Amy was really good with them.

Alabama Vacation

We met Uncle Donnie Ray, Aunt Amy, Luke, and Rachel in Gulf  Shores, AL.  The kids were very excited to see their family!

Jonathan and Luke

Giving Aunt Amy hugs

Jonathan LOVED the beach and ocean.  He scared me a couple of times though, because he wasn't scared at all!

Rachel and Jonathan having fun at the beach!

He loved sitting on the edge and letting the water come up on his legs.

Building sand castles with Luke

Jonathan got buried!

Making funny faces

Taking a break.  She preferred the pool to the beach.

Jonathan wanted Rachel to carry him around the entire time.  =)

Maw Maw and Paw Paw with all of their grandkids.

We went to Lambert's for dinner where they throw rolls at you.  The kids thought that was so funny.

Abigail and Luke

Abigail and Uncle Donnie Ray being silly

After dinner we went to race go-carts.  Jonathan was tall enough to ride with Daddy.

 Abigail enjoyed riding with Aunt Amy.

Then Abigail got to ride a go-cart by herself.  She was so excited!

The next night we celebrated Luke's 14th birthday with yummy cake and ice cream.

I love this picture of them!  They were looking at dolphins in the water.  We saw tons of them, but weren't able to get a picture.

Jonathan and Daddy went to an airplane museum one day.

While Abigail and Mommy went to Build A Bear and got ice cream!

Abigail really wanted to play putt-putt, so the last night we made sure to go.

Jonathan wanted to play too.  He did okay for awhile until he started trying to climb rocks, get in the water, etc.  I should have known better than to take him.  He ended up having to sit in the car with Mommy.  When we were walking out to the parking lot he said "I didn't listen to you at the putt-putt place.  That's why we have to go sit in the car.  I was just looking at the beautiful things."  =)
