And now....the beach!!!! We spent 4 days at the beach and we loved it! Our first trip was to Cocoa beach where we met Sarah, Grace, and Ruby! Piper also came with us and got so sunburnt ( as well did I a little) poor thing :) We had a great time, and loved cocoa but as said in the below pics the gulf beaches are WAY better! Our second time was at a beach right near robyns place, kirsten found some friends and we enjoyed a relaxing afternoon listening to the waves and enjoying the warm sun!
Our third trip was with my brother Taylor, his wife and boys to pensacola beach. It was chilly but Kirsten and Mackay still had lots of fun playin in the water. And we did enjoy a great walk on the beach peir doing a little shoping and enjoying a yummy lunch at a local place!
Our 4th was at my alltime most favorite beach ever! Clearwater beach near Tampa! It was so beautiful, white as snow kirsten said. It was a perfect day with just enough sunshine and ended at another great local place for yummy food and great atmosphere right on the beach! We were homesick just before going there and when I got there I felt I could stay forever!! Can you tell how much I love the beach? WE miss it and all our wonderful friends and family in Florida!


Future surfer girl?

Havin a blast on the beach with great friends, this girl LOVES the ocean!

Kirsten and Grace at the beach, she loved playin with the girls. If you don't notice the difference, this beach is on the atlantic coast as opposed to the other pics on the gulf, the gulf is sooo much more beautiful!

Kirsten and I at Pensacola beach

Here we are again....so its long coming but I haven't had time. The rest of our week was spent with a good friend of mine that I have known since I was 9. We went to the beach, spent too much money at a local board shop on Roxy clothes, and spent lots of time at the beach and enjoyin good food and fun with friends!

Every year I go to the beach I do this!!!

Out for Robyns birthday!

Piper and Kirsten at Ron Jon's surf shop

Out to lunch, Indiatlantic has such a great beach community feel. Lots of great eating places, local joints and just a fun atmosphere! Here we are at Longdoggers, Kirsten and I's dad ate here like 7 years previously!

Kirsten's very best friend Brody, my friends New Foundland dog! We love him, he's the sweetest thing ever and him and kirsten became fast friends!

First trip to the beach, the first few days we were there it was cold so we just went to walk there. Kristen was dying to see the ocean! She definitly is a girl after my own heart, she loves the beach just like me!

THE SUNSHINE STATE!

We left Salt Lake City airport at 1pm on monday April 14th and arrived in Orlando at 11pm. Our luggage somehow got sent to chicago so we waited only about 45 minutes for it to arrive again. We stayed that night in the Marriot right by the airpot (which I got for SUPER cheap on priceline and now I believe I'm a bit of a hotel snob after staying there!) Heres some pics and I will explain our first week as we go. Don't get too jealous, it was humid there but hey I think its worth it!

Our first stop was seaworld. Kirsten loves animals so I knew this would be a perfect place for her. She loved watching the walrus/otter show, seeing the dolphins, and was a little frightened of the sharks and alligators but once she found out the sharks were behind glass she was fine. You pay for one day of addmission and get a full year free (too bad we live in Utah) so we only did half a day there and headed back the next week. We saw the Shamu show (where I cried twice! First it was the saluting our soldiers that got me, and then just the amazing experiece of shamu and spending such a wonderful time with my little girl) I know total baby!


Kirsten got her face painted like the girls in the whale/dolphin show. She's an exotic princess she says :)

Love Shamu!! Sooo amazing!

Watchin the Seal/walrus/otter show in moms glasses!

Kirsten and the seals!

Enjoyin lunch in the somewhat cold sunshine

We're back!!!!

After 2 weeks of no internet, KILL ME! hahahaha and a 16 day vacation in florida we are back! Miss us? I'm sure you were all just dyin without any posts from me. Well in the next few days believe me you will get your fill.
Heres a little update:
The move to Saratoga Springs AKA BFE went well. One moving truck, one oddessy minivan (thank you kevin) 2 trucks (thanks dad and ryan) and a honda pilot (love you ash!) later we were moved in! hahahaha kid you not!! I was reminded that I have ALOT of stuff...hard to know what to get rid of even though I did throw out quite a bit while packing hmmmm....but we are here. And we are happy to have such a beautiful place, large and spacious and at such a cheap price (even if it is in the mdidle of nowhere!) THat of course is an exageration but..I do fill up my car every 5 days since moving here and we aren't usually home til 8 at night cause everything we do is in Lehi, Orem or Salt Lake/Sandy area. I will post some pics once we get it all cutesy, and the floor in my flooded bedroom is back to normal :)
Kirsten and I were also lucky enough to take a 16 days trip to Florida to visit friens and family! I will post some pics and tell all about our trip in the next post. We are glad to be home but sure miss that florida sunshine!
Enjoy :)
