Note from Carson

Carson says, "I love you, everybody". Carson and I are looking at our new blog space. We took some really cool pictures of us on the Lovesac (for those of you who don't know...it's the name of this HUGE bean bag that all 4 kids can fit on!) Carson said the Lovesac grows every night...bigger and bigger. (He means, we fluff it every night and it's enormous). Carson is perfecting "Hayley's favorite face". It's pretty funny. He likes to ham it up for the camera, just like Hayley. Oh boy, a masculine version of Hayley... we are in for a treat.
It's never a dull moment in our house.

Carson wants to make sure everone from Arkansas sees this website, so they can see all our pictures. I don't think he quite grasps the concept of getting mail/messages on the internet. Here are some pictures of our kids! Grace asleep in the HUGE LOVESAC!
She looks like the center of a flower! haha!

Hayley, one of her many shots for her myspace layout.
She loves to take crazy (and beautiful pictures)

Spring Break 2007

We decided this year to head to Destin, Florida for Spring Break. This is one of our favorite vacation spots. It's what I call the mom's vacation...beach, pool, couch. (in no particular order). Robbie and I first went to Destin 15 years ago and try to make it back at least every couple of years. Oh man has it changed from that first time! Growing so fast, but still seems so quiet and peaceful.

This year, we decided to go with 3 other families. We found a big house that sleeps 21 and I do believe we maxed it out with all four of our families. We had a wonderful time. A few bumps in teh road, but nothing to crazy. Pretty typical for the number we had in our house. This vacation included the Trotter's, the Pryor's, the Thompson's and the Newton's (some of church buddies). We had a wonderful time.

We played on the beach, tried to play at the pool (long stories with that subject), the guys went golfing a couple of times, went shopping at the outlet mall and Destin Commons, ate at some wonderful restaurants, played Minature Golf, raced go-carts, bought a gallon of Dippin'Dots (another story), Dolphin Cruise, and just had an amazing time. It wasn't near as relaxing as I would have liked, but for most, it was their first time visiting Destin, so we all tried everything. Below you will see some of the pictures we took on this trip.

Our last day on the beach...at sunset.

The sun was perfect and the sand was so soft.

New Blogger!

Well, my first try at "blogging". I thought I would try to do this for all our family and friends back home and all over the country. Remember I am new to this, so who knows how it will turn out!

We are all doing great. Here are some recent pictures of our family. Enjoy! I will try to do more later.

Love to all!

Janaga

Yes, that is Jake playing with kids about 2-3 years older than him. Don't let his size fool you! He can out run most of them!
