Our new pet...if even only for a few days!
So after being home from the beach for a few days, the boys and Amona (our last au pair) were headed to the park and in the middle of the street was a small box turtle. The boys had been asking for a pet turtle recently so I told Amona is was alright to bring it home. They named the turtle Carmee...I have no idea how they came up with this name, but they did. Anyway, they brought the turtle home and for a few days we made him a home in an old dog crate..he didn't seem very happy, so Gabe made him a new home in the backyard that we thought was secure. Then we left to go to the park one afternoon and when we came home, Carmee was gone! The boys were not too upset since we told them that he wanted to go back to the wild...Landon said it was ok because he needed to leave to find his mommy and that he really wanted a frog anyway...I guess that will be our next new pet!

Just pathetic...but still trying...now on to The Beach!
I am not even going to give the excuse about how busy things have been for me...things are always busy and it is just pathetic that I cannot find the time to update my blog...so here we are again...another 2 months after my last post still trying top catch up from the summer...yes, I said the summer and today is November 5!!!
So...going to the beach is one of my most favorite things to do as a family...I have gone to Ponte Vedra Beach ever since I was a baby and my parents have gone there ever since they were babies...TMI but my dad says he was almost named Pevy since he was conceived in Ponte Vedra...PV! I said it was TMI! Anyway...I love it there! My parents bought a new place there about 4 years ago and this past year they completely renovated it and put on a 2nd story. It was way too small for all of us as we all like to go as a family. Mom, Dad, Me, Gabe, Landon, Dylan., my sister, Caroline and her boyfriend...it was a 3 bedroom house with a total of 4 beds and 2 were twins...TIGHT!!! So Mom and Dad decided to go up and it was well worth the wait and the fact that I had to move my summer vacation 3 times because the house wasn't finished...it was BEAUTIFUL!!! I joked that I was going to move in...mom didn't go for it! So we went down to the beach for 3 weeks this past summer and it was amazing...we are 2 houses away from the beach and we can ride our bikes to the club to go swimming...The boys had an absolute blast!!! Aunt Cee Cee couldn't join us this year since she had just started her new job...we sure missed her but there is always this summer!
I will let the pictures speak for our fun!!
It was a great summer and we were sad to leave, but we came home just days before school started so we it was time to get back!
By the time we left...Dylan LOVED the slide, Landon was swimming the entire width of the pool all by himself and they were both in the ocean jumping the waves...In 3 short weeks the grew up so much!
