Beach Trip

We went to Gulf Shores with my family during fall break from October 7-10th. We rented a 5 bedroom house this year because we had 19 people going!! I had to drive since Josh was only 2 weeks post surgery. 
The view from the back porch. It had a tennis court, bikes to ride and a yard. The kids had plenty of room to run around inside and outside. It was so nice!!
We ate at The Beach House Kitchen the first night 
The kids wanted to catch crabs when we got back

They were racing on the beach 

Hudson was in his element
Jetta, Gianna, Charli, Roman, Hudson and Nash 
We woke up to a burning smell. I went down stairs and the little girls were cooking. They didn't know how to cook on that stove, so the grown ups had to take over. 
We headed to the beach after breakfast. 
All these butterflies were by the boardwalk 
The pool was right next to our house so that was convenient.
Josh came and sat outside for a while. He did not go to the beach because the sand would be too hard to walk on.
Todd buried the kids in the sand

The kids got along well. It was the first time for the cousins and soon to be cousins to be together. 
So glad to be with both of my sisters! 
snack break 


We missed Josh while we were out at the beach 
He was inside watching football with Rusty. Rusty had a knee replacement in September. They kept each other company in the house. 
The whole crew
Souvenir shopping 

Jules was not happy because she couldn't buy all the shells she wanted 
We went to watch the sunset on Sunday night
Tried to catch Josh with it back at the house. He was grilling hamburgers and the grease caught on fire!
We left on Monday, this was the closest Josh got to the beach 
The surgery patients 
It was a quick trip, but it was a good time together!

She did a great job! The ballet and pointe dances were so powerful and beautiful this year! I always get teary when I watch and this year was no different.  I volunteered on Sunday for the last showcase I was with a class next to Jules and got to watch some of her dances from back stage.  Gianna and Jules were both in this showcase, so my parents came to watch on Sunday A long weekend for the big girls, but they love doing it

February 2025

The girls had dress rehearsal for dance. I went on the Thursday class on the 6th. We got to see a preview of the dances.  Hudson had his first driving session on February 10th. He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young.  We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas.  My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk.  I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas. Dillon was in town for something else and was able to come to lunch.  We celebrated our 19th anniversary by going to The little Big Cup in Arnaudville.  The food was really good. I had the crab cake and eggplant stack and Josh h...
