Our beach house!
We just had a week full of fun at Hilton Head Island! The flight was pretty painful, to and from and we had a rough go the first day! I think we were so tired from the trip, it made us all a little cranky. The rest of the week was awesome. We stayed at the lovely "yellowdogbythesea.com" beach house. It was so nice to have the ocean front property and just be able to watch the tide roll in at all times of the day. We spent our time on the beach obviously, but had a swimming pool at the house, also. It was so nice to go swimming when you didn't feel like getting sandy! We walked everywhere because there were so many shops close to where we were. I also spent Wednesday with Darcey, Libby, Dawn, and Pat at the spa. It was so nice to have some relaxing time away from the kids. Steve and his dad and brother spent Thursday at the golf course, while I took the kids to the shops with my sister-n-law. Friday night we all got a night out without the kids. Ms. Betty came and babysat all 6 kids so we could go out to dinner. We loved it so much, we all want to go back and do it again and again.
I actually thought that I would be finished with my book by the time I got home but taking 4 kids to the beach doesn't allow for much reading time. Someone got me stinkin' hooked on the Twilight Saga! I read the first 3 books the week before I left for the beach and I hope to be finished with the 4th by tonight. I will then be able to focus on being a mom again. How horrible is that? All of you who kept ranting and raving about the Twilight books - THANKS!

Fun times! That place looks awesome! I'm going to sound like a 4th grader and say, "told ya so" about the books!!!!
How fun! I think every family should go stay at a beach house :) Sounds like you guys enjoyed yourselves! (PS TC looks so old!)
That looks like a blast! Your kids are huge, I can barely believe it!
What a fun vacation! And a trip to the spa...heavenly!
You are sweet to send a baby gift and thanks for thinking of us. I have one more week to go...hopefully I won't go to far over my due date.
Once you are finished with Twilight you'll have to read The Host. It took me a while to get into, but once you get used to the characters, you won't be able to put it down.
wow, you're vacation looked so amazing that I almost got sick looking at the pictures! :) I'm glad you guys had a fun break. Hey, I keep meeting people in the ward who know you. I'm "beth's niece" to many. :) It makes me miss you guys even more. AND I visit teach the new couple in your old apartment...it's crazy to go in and think of all the awesome memories. I miss you guys! Give the kids hugs and kisses for us!
Okay, I know it has not been that long, but the kids look like they have really grown since you guys left! I'm glad you were able to have a relaxing vacation. And... is Jaxson following in Kota's footsteps with that flip flop he is holding onto?? Tell Steve he better keep an eye on his tennis shoes!
Oh my heck TC is SO big! He has grown up so much, as have all of your kids! What a fun place to vacation, beach houses are so fun!
