We Love Family #1!

Jacob's family (Mom, Dad, Katherine, Jamison) came to visit us about a week and a half ago, and it was a blast! We felt like we were on vacation right along with them. Here are pictures of the all the adventures we went on. (I wasn't able to post all the pictures and videos I wanted, so I will do a second post in a few days.)
We of course went to Gulf World! The shows were great, and the animals are always fun to look at. Here are a few pictures of us being eaten alive....awwwww!







We had a nice home cooked meal on our balcony at the condo...way up on the 12th floor. If you look in the corner of the picture, you can even see the ocean...beautiful!
We also did a lot of swimming in the pools and the ocean.
Addi fell asleep just like this...what's more comforting than a warm pool and grandma?
We went horse back riding! Everyone enjoyed the horses. Especially Addi and Katherine. This was probably one of the highlights of the trip.


Katherine riding Honey
Addi and Daddy on Apache
Addi is so excited that she found another horse. "Neigh, Neigh over there" :)

Addi loved riding Dakota, here are just a few videos.

What's better than a kiss in the ocean with the one you love? Love you babe :)
Beautiful wildlife at the Bay

Nice catch Jamison!
Beautiful sunset
Another day at St. Andrew's state park. Right by the rocks behind us are tons of beautiful fish that you can snorkel next too....it is awesome!

We had a great time! Thanks for coming everyone! We love you! Good luck on your mission Jamison, you will do great!

And the Winner is...

Our ward Elder's Quorum had a pinewood derby, and it was so much fun! The only rule was that you couldn't power your car using fire. This gave way to many, many, many different types of cars including: Propellers, mini motors, remote controls, weighted cars and Jacob's car which was a mousetrap car.
He named his car JAK because as many of you know, it is his nickname. Also, it stands for Jacob, Addi, Keli (clever eh?)
Here's the line-up. The third one from the left was the overall winner.
Jacob got 3rd place and won "The Sweetest Ride" trophy. Way to go babe :)



This is a picture of my new haircut for those of you who asked for a picture...let me know what you think.
