Gustav

Thanks for all the phone calls from everyone checking on us. We have been staying on the boat and are doing great. I actually slept through the hurricane. We went down to the beach that afternoon and I was able to snag some photos. It was nasty out in the Gulf. You might be saying to yourself, "IF you were on a boat, how did you not feel the harsh effects?". We are staying at the Wharf in the ICW(International Coastal Waterway). The marina has floating docks, so when the water rises, we do too. Hopefully we will be spared again with the other storms. Hope you enjoy the pics.

They're back!!!

Well at least one of them is back. The other day while I was sitting on my porch enjoying the view, I looked over and to my suprise I saw the biggest ant yet. It must have eatin the other two ants that I saw back in June. This sucker is at least an inch long. I told you they were Africanized. If anybody has any idea of what type of ant this is, then please let me know.

Wheewww.........

I am finally taking a break!!! I have been working my a*$ off for two weeks straight making necklaces. The good news is I sold 21 of them yesterday. YEA, for my fist big sell. I am going to take one day off and get back at it tomorrow. If you know of anyone who is in need of a one of a kind piece of jewelry, then you know who to hit up.

Finally

Yea!!!! I am proud to announce that Jeff and I finally got a bathroom counter top. I know we put it off for a long time, but I am glad we did. We scored an amazing deal on a beautiful sink. Now if we could only get the faucet running.

1st place

Sorry it has taken so long to post a new report. Jeff and I have been busy this past week. I went on vacation and he went out and caught this beautiful fish. It placed 1st weighing in at 51lbs in the OBBC (Orange Beach Billfish Classic).

Patrick caught this beautiful fish.

Boat Ride

Another activity that we did while the Wilson clan was here was a nice boat ride. This gave me some great photo ops.







This was out in front of the Bellingrath home. We were to chicken to get out on the lawn. Check out Riley's sour puss face. She looks so bored

This little girl is such a cutie. She didn't want to wear the life jacket and fussed. I couldn't believe I actually got these sweet pictures.

J.J. really enjoyed the boat ride.

Before we pulled the boat out of the water, my Jeff let the boys drive the boat. Later I asked each of them what their favorite part of the day was and of course they said driving the boat.

Luke is such a sweet older brother. I looked over at him and he was holding Jonah's hand. He is so sweet.

I got some really sweet pictures of Carolyn and Riley.

Girls day at the beach

Carolyn and I got to spend a couple of hours on the beach Monday by ourselves. We had a blast goofing around!!!

This is our beautiful drip castle that we made. This angle doesn't even do it justice.

Our castle looked like a spooky mountain.

After we built the drip castle, we couldn't help but goof off in front of the camera.

These are our sexy poses. Don't you agree???

All in all it was a great day!!! Love you sis.

cute kids

Family

Sorry I have not posted anything in a while. My sister Carolyn and her family have been visiting since last Wednesday. We have had a absolutely great time. Of course you know me, the first thing I took them to do was fishing.

Luke and his first fish of the day.

Noah looks so pleased with his catch

Carolyn finally caught a fish.

I was so proud of the boys they did such an awesome job at fishing. Luke even learned how to cast on his own.

Rules, who needs them???

Its funny when you see someone doing something they are not supposed to. Its even funnier when they are doing it right next to the sign that tells them not to do it
