Beach Trip

Here goes the longest post of pictures! I couldn't narrow them down, I loved them all. The following pictures show a glimps of our amazing trip to the beach! We had so much fun! We went with Tawna and Nathan and his family, Jade and Jeff, us and Aaron & Amanda, and Kevin and Taya came for a day! Thanks to Tawna and Nathan who invited us all to join them. It was our first family trip to the beach and we loved it! We were spoiled and camped in a trailer (which is how I like it!) with running water and electricity! It was a long walk down a steep hill to the beach with all our stuff for the day but definately worth the long haul. We spent two days enjoying the water although the waves were a bit rough for the kiddos. I even attempted to learn how to ride the waves and managed to swallow enough salt water for my entire life. I had the worse heardburn that night from the salt water. Here are many pictures of our wonderful vacation!
Here is all the kiddos on the last afternoon before heading back up. They were drained but happy (all happy except Rylan who did not want to be in the picture)! We should have taken a group picture before Maddie, Darrin, and Kaitlyn left.

Our family pix! Poor Rylan was ready to be done. I think his broken arm hurt, but he never complained.

One of his happy pictures building a sand castle!

Wow! Are they playing nice? Such cute brothers!

Austin and Jaxon spent hours playing in the waves. They knew just how to do it!

Dad and Rylan, always together!

CRAZY HARMONS

Richard and I are the proud parents of 4 beautiful kids. We have been married almost 11 years and have grown to love each other more each day. It's amazing how much more you can love a person as the years roll by. Through trials and tuff times we have learned and grown together. We love, love, love our time alone together and so appreciate a weekend getaway or especially a 7 day cruise! We can admit we are not the best parents but we sure appreciate the opportunity God has given us to have such amazing kids. We learn so much about ourselves through them. What we are and who we want to become. We learn patience is something we both continually have to work on! The kids just adore their dad and love to go run errands with him on Saturdays. We love the sand dunes and love our many winter trips there camping, riding, and spending time together. Did I mention how perfect Richard and I are together and how much in love we are? We often say we have the perfect marriage!!! Gotta love life =)

Kids

Megan is our sweet and happy oldest and only girl. She is 10 and in the 5th grade. She brings lots of spunk and energy to our family and we are so lucky to have her! She never runs out of energy and keeps us always busy. She enjoys school and friends! Mom and Megan enjoy our ever needed girls night out together. She likes to Karaoke to Hannah Montana, dance around and be wild, swim, and of course ride quads at the dunes.

Austin is younger but taller than Megan and very proud of that. He is 9 and in the 4th grade. He is awesome in school and reads very well. Austin isn't quite as wild as the rest of the kids which mom is thankful for. He has his quiet times where we will find him in his room playing quietly. He enjoys playing the wii especially their new game Lego Star Wars which he and Rylan are getting quite good at. Austin is a joy to have in our family!

Rylan is 7 and the cutest kid in glasses ever! He has had a lazy eye since he was about 2 and still wears his glasses to keep it straight. He is in the 1st grade at Ben Franklin and doing really well. He loves being a boy and had his first broken arm. Rylan is so sweet and lovable. He tells us he loves us quite often. Don't get me wrong he can be quite the stinker too, but aren't they all! He idolizes his dad and wants to always be helping him especially on the quads or the truck, trailor, or anything outside. Rylan still loves to play with his trucks and cars and probably always will . . . just like dad!

Carson oh Carson, what do I say about my sweet baby Carson. He keeps me going all the time. He is now 5 and getting really tall. He loves his preschool class which he gets to take the short bus to (don't laugh we always knew Richard would have a kid that does)! He is an angel at school and most loved by all his teachers of course. Mom can't believe he will be going to Kindergarten this fall! He keeps us laughing all the time and says the funniest things. Carson is full of energy and keeps mom busy!
