MYRTLE BEACH

My Mom planned one last vacation before Kendall leaves on his mission. We had an amazing time..relaxing,  swimming, laying out, boogie boarding, eating, shopping and enjoying a tropical storm one day. 


 Myrtle Beach here we come!!
 The view from our balcony was AMAZING!!
 The first couple of days were FREEZING, so of course we had to have new matching sweatshirts

BOOGIE BOARDING

 Working the waves



 MINI GOLF
Their Mini Golf courses are nothing like we have here
 Caleb and Dad ready to putt
 Grammy and Peyton

Me and Peyton got a Hole in One 
Then both my sisters got a Hole in One...so needless to say girls ruled this hole
 One day Quinn went running and he called my phone and 
told me and Peyton to come look out the balcony. I'm thinking "oh sweet Quinn did something cute for me"....nope just writes his Princess's name in the sand.
So the next day my Sisters were  nice and wrote this in the sand
"WE LOVE U KELLI"
(even if Quinn doesn't)
 One day a HUGE storm rolled in and my awesome, smart husband decided that he out of the 1,000+ other people, or even lifeguards, who would not even go out in this storm was going to go out and catch some "sick waves". He quickly found out that the ocean will win the fight every time and lets just be grateful Quinn is here today.

WE PLAYED IN THE SAND
 Tackle Football
 

 They buried Caleb and gave him some "extra parts"

  Princess was content just doing her own thing and NOT getting buried



 We hit up some great restaurants
 Went shopping

RIPLEY'S AQUARIUM

 We came in very close...too close for me contact with sharks
 Peyton wasn't such a fan of it either unless she was in Daddy's arms
 Caleb LOVED every second of it and wanted to touch every creature known to man kind
 I'm fascinated by Jellyfish
 We even watched "real" mermaids 

NIGHTTIME BEACH WALKING

 Every one decided to go crab hunting one night. So we just told Peyton "we were going for a walk" Then she came within 10ft of one and her life was over and she lost it. Only problem is we were at least a mile back to our condo.  So I promised her crabs only like water so we decided to walk more in the sand but of course one dumb crab has too run right in front of Peyton on her foot. So needless to say I think she woke everyone up with her scream and the best part her screaming/bawling "I hate crabs, I never want them" at least me and Quinn got a good kick out of her. :)
 Caleb was in heaven and even held one
 We found a really cool seashell to try and take her mind off of the Crabs
 Luckily Daddy came to the rescue and carried her back home, once we hit land she was a happy camper.
 Showing Peyton our room
 The gorgeous pool at night
 Our treasures we found

SWIMMING TIME
 Obviously the sun was a little bright
 Just hanging out

PIRATE ADVENTURE 
Last night there we went to a real cool live Pirate themed show. The kids were mesmerized by everything and their favorite part was the live Seal who break danced.


Picture is crappy but it really was a cool show...highly recommended

EASTER

Easter was pretty low key this year. We sent the kids to church with Gramps and Gram. Then other Grandma came to visit with us and have a Easter egg hunt, then left to head back up to Gramps and Gram's house. It was such a beautiful, warm day!! Thankful for family and friends and for Jesus and his resurrection so that I can be with my family.
 They couldn't wait to do a silly face
 So hard to get a cute one of these two...I couldn't imagine having more kids.
 Peyton LOVES to give her brother hugs...Caleb not so much

 On the run for eggs

 Counting up all the winnings
I hate too much candy so we resorted to quarters in the eggs



  EASTER AT GRANDPA'S & GRANDMA'S



 YOUNGER COUSINS
Sam, Peyton, Brooklyn, Tate and Ellie 
 OLDER COUSINS
Morgan, Taylor, Connor, Owen and Caleb

PEYTON AND ELLIE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
 We also got to celebrate this two little cuties Birthday's 

 Grandma made 2 separate cakes for them to blow out candles....
 notice Ellie, she blew hers out then came over to Peyton's 
good thing Peyton is so nice and she just sat back and let Ellie take over!!

EGG DYING

We took some eggs up to the cabin and let the kids dye their own eggs
 The beautiful masterpieces
Grammy and Gramps came up with us as well.

PARTY!!

Caleb wanted a dirt bike themed party. He decided all you can eat pizza at Rock Creek Pizza, then swimming at the local Rec Center.
This was the outfit we brought Caleb home from the hospital in
 The party favors        

 We made dirt bike pillow cases and water bottles

SWIMMING TIME
 Peyton and Kam joined us for swimming 

 Grandpa Doug joined
And look who else joined us...Ben, Laurie, Deb and Bob
And by the way Ben thinks he's the only person that doesn't have to get out of the pool when they do a pool check. :)
