This has never happened before!! Here are a few of the kids, pre-party!!! Happy Birthday Thor!! Happy #2!!
Zac and Jordan concentrate on their construction site!!!

The Rain Came Down.......and The Floods Came Up!!!

Spring Break 2009 will go down in the books as the wettest spring break in history!!! We don't mean that we got wet in the pool, or at the beach or in a wet T-shirt contest! Since we got off last Friday it has rained and rained and rained and, well you get the picture! Above you can see the dam on our property between our two, as of last week, dry ponds. This is the water that is now flowing over the now, filled to the brim ponds.
There was a dry hole there that you could drive completely around??? Watch out tractor under the shed!!

And to the left we have a beautiful waterfall right here in Bristol, Florida, at the Eikeland's.


Cayla is that your house that was by a small dry hole in the ground??? My what a difference a day makes!!!


Pop and Zac try out their new water craft!

John is trying a new irrigation system.....or is that a new aquatic gardening experiment he's working on??? Someone call Epcot!!!
The potatoes were the only thing that weren't completely under water! As of today that is!
Amanda and Thor hurry home you have a new pond in your back yard! The rain is still coming, it could be even closer by tomorrow!!
Rain, Rain, Go Away.......All us KIDS want to PLAY!!









Spring Break....and the Turtles are Roaming!

I looked out my window Monday morning.....the one morning so far that it Wasn't raining, and this is what I saw! Zac has been staying with me since Cayla is not off for Spring Break! So I grabbed the camera! I don't remember what those turtles drove.....but an FSU golf cart seems to work pretty well!!
I met the Turtle at the door! "Which one are you?" I asked?

Turtles on the half shell!


Who is that masked man......Really??????

Winter Beach

I love enjoying a walk on the beach on a beautiful winter day. We rode down to St. George Island last Saturday and walked on the beach for a little bit. As you can see Zac was getting out some of his energy from the long drive!!! He looks like he's trying out for a role in the next Karate Kid!
Don't you love the feel of the sand between your toes!!
Does this fit together like a puzzle????

This is as far as Rascal got on the beach.

We were sure that this sign did not apply to our little member of the family!!!!

Is that a smile? Let the data show.......teenagers can experience fleeting moments of happiness when surrounded by family and small children!


Me and my Shadow!!!

Boys, Boys, More Boys!

Well Thor cooperated for a little while, for Amanda and I to take some pictures of him. Here is one of the shots I got. I'll try to post some more later.


Hello Zac in the windshield of the golfcart!! Big, beautiful, brown, eyes!!


Here we are smelling the toes!! We all have to smell them, then wave our hand in front of our nose and say Peeeeeeuuuuuuu!!!! Of course Thor laughs! Why we do this just to see a baby laugh I don't know.....because they REALLY STINK!! Well, I guess that's why we do it, just to see a baby laugh!



Now that's more like it! I'll smell those toes!! I'll even kiss them!

Riding with the Boys!!

This afternoon I went on a little outing with my grandson Zac, and my nephews Jordan and A.J. We rode the golfcart's around and explored and played and took pictures. They told me what to take pictures of and I snapped away! Here are some of the highlights of our adventure!


There's nothing like racing barefoot on a dusty dirt road! On your mark.......get set.......


GO!!!!!!!!



I guess you could call this a one sided game of Leap Frog!!! Keep your head down Zac!!

A close up of an unsuspecting grasshopper! We let it go after it's photo shoot!


A.J. set up this shot!


I think these are weeds, but they thought they would make a pretty picture!!! Pretty nice!


The butterflies are everywhere! I stopped and grabbed this shot on the way back! The weather was great and the company entertaining!! Boys and men are just alike.......we had to race on the golfcart's back to the house!! I won't say who won....just that the gas one had the advantage!!!:)
