Bahama Mamas!

We had such a wonderful time at the Paradise Island, Bahamas at Atlantis Resort.  The kids just had a ball!  They made sandcastles. rode water rides, played on the beach, got braids, drank coconut milk from a coconut, played with a bahamian band and danced in the marina.  There were so many lagoons, pools, aquariums and fun rides.  Daddy tricked Mommy into riding "Leap of Faith" and the whole park got to hear mommy scream all the way down a 4 story free fall water slide that went through a tank of sharks... yeah... good times!

Dolphin Cay

We all spent 1/2 day at Dolphin Cay and got to swim with Echo and Bimini, who were such sweet dolphins.  We got pictures of us giving them a kiss and hugging them.  We had fun feeding them fish too!  We learned some gestures and the dolphins would do tricks for us!  Don't we look super cool in our wetsuits?

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Mommy got to travel to Paradise Island, Bahamas and stay at beautfiul (and overpriced) Atlantis resort for her birthday. The pictures below is with my wonderful family as we go to mommy's dinner at the Marina. We had such a great time and I even got a serenade for my birthday (Noelle and the Bahamian waitstaff). Then Leah and Daddy joined in (ok Leah got camera shy but she sang to me all night).

Ohhh... That has got to hurt!

Well, we will be keeping the tree removal service busy and the landscapers in business as we replace most all of our trees.  Sadly, we are in good company in NorthWest Arkansas.  It was a very damaging, brutal storm.  Can't describe the destruction around the area... sad.  I am most depressed about the tree in our back yard that is in the middle of the yard... it was my favorite and framed our yard so nicely... and provided privacy and shade from the evening sun.... it is gone now.  I am pouting about it.

Happy 39th Birthday Daddy!

Tonight we went to Shogun's to have dinner with Grandma, Darla, Dwayne, Lana, Steven, Karen, Elizabeth and her friend, and Noelle and Leah.  Noelle helped Mommy pick out a cake (from the picture above).  Daddy did not see the humor in it though... ah, Daddy, as the cake says, you still got it!  

Enjoy your birthday this year, Daddy because Mommy is going to give you a good party next year... we will make sure you will not forget your 40th birthday!  

Our little Gymnastic Monkeys!

Ta-Da!  

Mommy and Daddy were so sad to miss our little babies Gymnastic routines but they did so good.  Grandma took them and got some great pcitures... at the end of the routines, every got a medal.  Leah likes to wear both of them around the house!

Got to have one cheesy picture while on vacation, eh?

Views from our Balcony

Simply beautiful....

Mexico, muy bien!

So we had too much Tequila at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville... that is why we agreed to pose with the sombreros.  You can see by the pics we dined, sunbathed, relaxed by the beach (or the hammock off our balcony) and had a great time!  The resort was BEAUTIFUL, service was superb, food and drinks were fantastic and the weather was great!  I begged Doug for two more days but Grandma had to go back to work and could not keep the girls any longer.
