i've never noticed how much keagan looks like aaron . . his eyes have gradually changed to the the exact same color and shape.  happy ice cream boys!

we stayed in a condo right on the beach and loved every minute!

i think emery is praising God for her ice-cream cone!

spring break the beach!

the beach has to be my favorite place to take pictures and maybe just simply my favorite place on earth! i love this first picture of all four playing in the ocean. their is truly something magical about the ocean.

this year if feels like i got tons of pictures of the girls playing in the water the boys were boogie boarding or too far out for me to get a good shot. we love the beach especially in the SUN!
