Finally another post!

Alright, this is going to be a post about the past two months of our lives here in Florida. I posted the pictures backwards of when they actually happened, but you'll still get the idea.
Wendy came to visit us again (what a great sister :)) and we had a blast. Jacob's brother Jon also came which just added to the fun.

We had fun baking cookies together...
and going to blue springs, and remembering
what it was like to be a kid again...


took lots of pictures...


dressed for success (haha I love this picture)...ate big subs on the beach (thanks Jacob)...

snorkeled in the deep blue sea...

sun tanned or maybe we should call it sun scorched :)...

Had fun at Wakulla springs...

laughed and laughed...

jumped off high towers...

and swam in cold Wakulla spring water (Addi didn't seem to mind at all)...


went on a boat ride and saw many many alligators, one manatee and many other animals...

looked at Old Joe, the gigantic alligator...

cherished moments...

tried to eat two saltine crackers in 15 seconds...

searched for shells at Mexico beach and later found a dead crab in one of them...


But most of all...we just enjoyed the time we had together.

We sure love you Wendy and Jon or as Addi would say "Wenny and Non (aka Mimi)"! Thanks for coming! We can't wait to see you again!
Before Wendy and Jon came, Jacob played volleyball and had a great fall. He tore some ligaments in his ankle and foot, and had to stay home for a few days. Thank goodness Addi was here to sympathize with him :) Addi kept saying she had an owee too, and wanted it wrapped up just like daddies...so Addi got a toilet paper wrap.

We also took a trip to Orlando to go to the temple. The Lord really blessed us on this trip, everything just seemed to work out better than I could have expected. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

About half way there we stopped for dinner and got Addi in her jammies and did our bedtime routine as much as we could. She seemed to love the change-up and just clung to her blankies with a huge smile.

Eating breakfast in our hotel room. Don't mind Addi's hair, she just got out of the bath.Addi playing in the fountain while we waited for Jacob to get through a session.

Well, I think I am finally caught up again :)

As always, Addi is adorable! She looks like she is just such a fun little girl. I especially love the pictures of her in her swimming suit. Oh the chub!
And Wendy! What a fun gal and wonderful auntie!
Glad things are going well for you all!

Wow, you all look so happy and TAN! Keep up the fun!

PS-my blog is "private" because I stopped blogging and didn't want it to just sit out there doing nothing. Sorry, I would have tried to tell you in advance, but I don't have an e-mail address to reach you with.

PPS-seeing the alligator picture reminds me of an ad-lib story we wrote about a homeless alligator who bit off people's pants to make a living. Do you even remember that?? I didn't but then I was going through an old box and found it! How silly we were! =)

How fun! It looks like you guys are having a wonderful summer! Addi is so cute. She keeps looking more like a little girl and less like a baby....time just keeps flying by...
