Florida/Alaska. . .This is a long post.

Kellster in Alaska.

Me and Tay in Florida.

So when Kelly and I were first married, he and Ace took a fishing trip to Alaska.  I missed him so much. . . I remember. . . I was in the hotel room talking to him on the phone one of the last nights (me and my mom and sis had taken a little girls trip to Vegas), and I was just about to tell him that I couldn't wait to see him, that I was just dying without him, and to never leave me for another week again. . . And then he says something like, "This is so much fun, I could live here!  Me and Ace are already talking about when we can do this again."  Wahhhhhh!!!!  I remember having my heart feel just a teeny tiny bit broken.  Ha ha.  So we made an agreement that he couldn't go the next summer because we'd most likely have a baby on the way, but possibly the next.  Well, he held me to it and he and Ace, Brandt, and Oral set out to the beauty and grandeur of Alaska to re-stock our freezer.  So while he went to Alaska, we went to Florida.  I was totally bummed to go without him, but he had already used all of his time off from work to do his trip, so my family decided to take our family trip while he was gone so that we wouldn't have to go another week without him.  So off to Melbourne Beach/Disneyworld we went!!!  We wish so bad that Daddy had been able to come with us, but he will be there next time for sure.  I think I'm gonna have to put my foot down on the Alaska Fishing Trips, unless we go along with!  Here's the pics-

The Crew!!!

Playing 1-2-3-Weeeee!!!

I'm in love with these two lovebirds.

The two scooter dudes.

These two little nuggets were covered in sand all week!

His very first time at the beach!!! 

Me and my sweet boy.

This was how we entertained the babies while we watched the Bachelorette finale.
We just let them make messes.  Worked like a charm.

On our way to Disney World!!!

Waiting in line for his very first ride!!!  PETER PAN!
He totally loved it.

Nerd.

Uncle Ry taking Trey so mama can go on a ride.

Daniel and Ma waiting for Monsters Inc.

It really is the happiest place on Earth!

The classic Disney pic.

We also loved the Winnie the Pooh ride.

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!

Waiting in line for Pirates of the Carribean!

Me and Grammy took the babies to The Country Bear
Jamboree while the crew went on Space Mountain.

Buzz Lightyear!  Our fave ride.

Shelter from the rain!!!  I was shocked at how well Trey would just nap in the stroller.
He was such a big boy!

We decided to stay the night at the Disney Hotel instead of driving the 2 hour
ride back to our condo in Melbourne.  Good choice.  What baby is this happy after 10 hours at Disney World???

Just checkin out the view. . . 

More beach time!

I love when he wrinkles his nose like that!

Look at his little tongue.  He's so focused.

Playing with the duckies after dinner one night.

Cute Uncle Daniel and Treagan.

The condo we stayed in was incredible!  But definitely not baby proof.  One night Trey
smacked the bridge of his nose on a chair while he was showing off his walking skills.

And poor Canny nailed his head on the corner of the tile window seal he
loved to climb on.  Owwwwwie.

I think he spent more than half the time strapped in his stroller.

Let's go to the beach beach!

Just makin more messes. . .

We ate at so many yummy places

We did lots of shopping!

With Grammy at Cocoa Beach.

Ron Jon Surf Shop.

The beach where we stayed is known as the largest hot spot for nesting turtles!
It was pretty cool.  At night you could walk the beach and find the mamas laying their eggs.

Just making Trey a little sand play pen.

Uncle Ryan burying the baby.

Ahhh. . . Nice and cool.

Since I didn't have my husband on the trip to help play with the babe,
T's aunts, uncles, and Grammy helped out a ton!  Here he is
with one of his faves, Uncle Ry.

Cutest little couple on the planet.  Char and Baba.

Ryan making a big sand turtle, and Charlie and Allie pretending to help.

And now Treagan is taking all the credit for the turtle.

Mama and Baby Boy.

Ry and Grammy.

Trey already knows how to write his own name.  He's so smart!

Canno and T just playin

Brudder and Seesters

Haha I love them.

Just playin in the sand.

He was a little unsure of the ocean at first, but then I couldn't keep him away from it.

Time to pack up and go home!  I don't think he wanted to leave.

This was him helping me unpack when we got home.
Crazy kid, didn't want anything to do with his shades while
we were there, but once we got home. . . he was all about them.

The trip came and went so fast, I am totally bummed that it's already over.  But in case ya can't tell, we had a blast!  I sure love my fam and am so blessed to have them.  And now here's a few pics of what Daddy was up to while we were partay-ing in Florida. . .

Double Limit Overnight Halibut Trip

Pops reeling in 250 ft of line with a halibut on the end!

Ace is always so happy!

This is why I personally wouldn't love this kind of trip. . . All that blood is kinda nast.

The boys hard at work.

Brandt fishin.

Yuck.  I mean. . . COOL.

This is why I would love Alaska.  SO PRETTY!

Apparently Kelly is quite the photographer.  Isn't that amazing???

Good ol Wallace.

Pops and Kell- Overlooking Cook's inlet near Homer.

Sockeye Salmon

Da boys.

Beautiful.  Kenai River.  Midnight!!!

Oral reelin in a salmon on the Kenai.

They hit the limit on Salmon!

I packed Kelly a bunch of snacks and here he is feeding the
honey roasted peanuts to his little friend.

Locals dip-netting salmon at the mouth of the Kenai River.

The fishermen.  Mouth of the Kenai.

Halibut Fishing.

Deckhand fileting Halibut as they come into port.

Shoulder to shoulder fishing along the river.

YUMMY.

A mushroom?

Kelly's Alaskan friends caught wind that it was Kell's bday and
they got him a hoodie and a chocolate cake.  So sweet.

He had a blast on his trip as well.  Next year though, we are staying together as a fam!!!  No battle.
