Vacation Time

Today is Sunday and I really should be at church but Rand is on call at the hospital and I have two sick boys. I also have my sisters three boys and to say the least we chose to stay home! Having five boys in my house has made for a crazy morning but the two babies are sleeping and I have the big boys doing a project. With a few minutes I thought I should try and catch up a little here. We just returned from a great vacation to the Bahamas. We left our little guy home with grandma and took Jakey with us. Life has been crazy for our family since October and Jakey needed some one on one time with us. Braden was just happy to be at Grandma's. (There are lots of pictures but hey I don't scrapbook and one day when I print this off I want to remember it)!!:)

Braden relaxing at home, where is my family?

The Lazy River, a daily favorite. You would float your tube around and then catch an escalator to the top of the tower to go down the water slides. You never had to leave your tube, just lift your little booty up for a minute to catch the escalator.


Jake loved the sharks, I did not!




Jake did a little photo shoot for Rand and I, he is not to bad!

Rand loved this water slide, it shoots you down and then through a shark tube!


We stayed at the Atlantis Resort and had a ball, the water slides were great and the ocean was incredible.

While we were there Michael Jordan was hosting a golf invitational and we and about 10 other fans went to watch. It was crazy we got to talk with tons of famous people and non one else was around. Here are just a few! By the way I saw one of Oprah's houses and I was so so excited.
Samuel L. Jackson (flew in from the inauguration the day before).

Johnny Damon (plays for the Yankees)

(Michael Jordan (his best view) (This is for you my friend you know who you are!)

You all deserved a nice vacation. I am glad you had fun and got to spend a little one-on-one time with Jake. Next time, take the Harris family along!!

Shemri, I am jealous you got to see Johnny Damon so close. He's not bad lookin' (although he looked much better when he played for the RED SOX!). And Michael Jordan? Nice pants dude. Glad you had a good time. Looks like fun!

Looks like soooo much fun. I'm glad you guys got to go--it's definitely on our list of continuing ed trips right away.

Oh Shem, I figured out how to put my blog into a printed, bound book, and it was pretty easy. I'm so excited to get it--it's like a journal/scrapbook. I mention it because you said you wanted to print yours off. As soon as I get the book in the mail, I'll post about how to do it on my blog. Check in a week or so.
