Baaaad Krystal!

Let's start off with a little note to self: Krystal, let's try to update our blog more often than every 4 months. I do apologize for not updating. A lot has happened since the last update, I'm just gonna make this short 'n sweet.I have a saying that I've said to the girls since they were babies and it goes, "You're more precious than you'll ever know." Hence the reason why I have a picture board with that written across it :)

Thayne was able to go snowmobiling a few times before heading off to work his butt off for the summer with APX. He will be spending the first half of his summer in Columbus, Georgia, and the remainder in Montgomery, Alabama.

This is what we got the girls for easter this year. I know! It's pretty pathetic, but we honestly had no idea what to give 18 month olds for Easter. They don't even understand it yet :(


























We enjoyed baby animal days while it was here. Thanks Hope and Holly for going with me so I didn't have to do it by myself!














For our anniversary this year I decided to replace Thayne's lost wedding ring with this one. It was a steal of a deal! And, best of all, I got to put this shiny piece of nice metal on his finger when I flew out to see him last month! It was kinda cute :) Reminded me of the day we got married.















This is us at the white sand beaches of Pensacola, Florida. It was such a short trip out to see my hubby after almost 6 weeks apart :( but it was full of activities.















Yes, this is my husband collecting seashells. Why? Oh because he wants me to make our girls a seashell necklace. Great idea, but I'm not crafty. Hmmm...anybody wanna offer up some advice on how to make it look cute? I can certainly make one but I don't think it's gonna look very cute!















We found a dead jellyfish. I believe this one is called a man-of-war but I'm not sure.















We decided that after spending the day driving down to Florida, we should stay in a hotel for the night. Nice room for a great price!















Getting ready to start our next day of travel back to Columbus, Georgia. It was filled with some fun stops along the way, though.















First, we stopped at a waterpark! It was a blast! We went down the slides together on a double seater tube and spent lots of time floating the lazy river :)















Then we headed over to Summerdale, Alabama, for a visit to Alligator Alley. That was very neat! I've always wanted to see an alligator farm.















Ooooh this rattlesnake did not like Thayne. In fact, it tried to bite him through the glass when he turned his back! Ha ha!















Boys and their fettishes with creepy stuff like snakes and spiders!!!
















Tarantula














Feeding time! They were feeding the alligators beef. Evidentally, it's breeding season so they need to stock up on their protein.

This would be that menacing Captain Crunch talked about in the above picture (the sign).

Memorial Day weekend they opened the Logan outdoor pool. Even though it was not as warm as I would've liked, I couldn't resist seeing how the girls would like the pool. The kiddie pool is super warm! I was pleasantly surprised!

Yes, this is my bottom half! Don't I look amazing for being 7 months pregnant?Ha ha! I wish! No, this is Miss Skinny Minny (Valerie) walking Tay babe to get a towel! Burr it was cold outside of the pool :(

Getting nice and warm in a towel :)

Lexi was keeping me warm hahaha!

Little Tay Babe finally settled down and enjoyed her horse ride :)

Well, should've known that if a mommy really likes horses and so does a daddy and they have a baby (or two in our case), ya just might end up with children who love horses! These girls don't just like horses; they LOVE horses! Alexis, in particular, was almost impossible to pull off her horse. She screamed all the way to the car and all the way home :( My poor ears couldn't take it so I let her go next door and jump on the tramp to take her mind off it even though it was time for bed!
