More Beach pics

These are all the "posed pics" that we took Saturday night. I have lots more candid shots to weed thru that I will have to post later. I took almost 350 pictures. oops!

Here we are last year for comparison... look how much Bry has grown!

Best Family Beach Trip 2008. It was a little windier this year, and the sunset wasnt as pretty. But I was pleased. A special thanks to our second-year photographer, "little plastic white chair."

Sweet Brothers!

Micah took this pic! Not bad!

And Coby wanted to take one, too. He took this one. :o)

When the photo session was over, Bry asked, "all done?" When I told him yes, he took off running into the ocean fully clothed.

also, dont miss the cute little individual pics of the boys on the side bar.

We're Home...

I think we brought home enough sand to build a sandcastle in my laundry room... so I will have to post more pics when I have time, but for now, here is a "teaser" for the grandmas....

ANOTHER ONE??!!

This was Bry towards the end of the photo session... we had bribed him with an oreo, but I think he was beginning to doubt us! :o)

More to some soon.... gotta go unload, unpack, and "move back in" at home!

Hope you are all having a great weekend... it is Fall Break for our boys, and here is a glimpse of the FUN we are having here!!

The Beach in October!

Let me hear a WHOO-HOO for Fall Break! The boys did not have school this week from Wed – Friday, and the break could not have come at a better time for us! Clint’s work schedule has been insane lately and we have not had any time together at all since August, so we were so excited to load up and head to the beach for a few days. We had a blast! It was beautiful and sunny… kinda cool at times, but that didn’t slow anyone down! On our way home we headed into Corpus Christi and went to the Aquarium, which was a big hit as well…. It is always so nice to get away and take a break and spend some quality time with my family… and then it is also nice to be back home!
So now… for pictures… first let me tell you that I downloaded almost 300, so I had to narrow it down… and let me also say that I realize there are more of Bryson that the other 3. There is something so irresistibly cute about a chubby little red-headed baby on the beach!
These first few are our "posed" pics. I was so pleased that it worked out to do these… the sunset could not have been more perfect! And a special thanks to the plastic white chair for holding the camera for the first picture here of all of us… this was about try number 5 on the self-timer, so if I look winded from running back and forth to jump in the picture, you know why! :o)

Sweet brothers!

One of my favorite pics:
I think he could be in an ad for baby sunscreen.... cute, red-headed, and WHITE!!

These 2 had a blast "running from the waves!"

And these 2 were a little more timid!

We spent lots of time building sandcastles

Here is the "finished product"

Feeding the sea gulls...

Bryson loved the "birrrds"

My little burrito taking a break to warm up!

Onto the aquarium... this was my favorite part... the dolphins are so beautiful. We saw a show where they did all their tricks and then went downstairs to watch them swim and play thru the glass. The boys loved this! How cute is this picture?

The crew in front of the USS Lexington... Clint was way more impressed than any of them!
