family beach photo 2014

I didn't really plan to take a family picture this year at the beach. It felt weird to take a family picture without Blake and it also felt weird not to take one since it is Andrew's last family vacation before he leaves for his mission. So we didn't match our clothes or get all cutie. It was relaxed and really fun. We had no family feuds before the photo. We just went out on the beach and snapped some shots!!! I loved the simplified feeling. Our family picture night usually means fight! Someone doesn't like the clothes I picked out or someone doesn't like the way the wind is blowing their hair. One year someone couldn't open their eyes because the sand was blowing. I could go on!!!! Sometimes the most simple moments are the best in life!!!  ***take note***Caroline's getting tall!!!

Ice cream night out

It's so nice to be able to enjoy an ice cream night out with my family! This may seem like a small thing to some but for me that could not tolerate any dairy for 12 years, it feels like a big big deal!

Thank you greens for changing my life!
