Yay!!! My family is in Australia!!!!

Dad, Mom, Kyle, & Keisha came to visit us! Yay! We had such a great time! From the minute they got here I was already sad about the fact that they'd have to leave :) We did so many fun things and went so many fun places...these are pictures of our day on Shipwreck Coast. We did the hike down to the anchors and had a picnic lunch on the beach. The tide had been high, so there were millions of beautiful seashells to take home!

Mom and me hiking down to the beach

Grace digging for seashells and sea rocks in one of the many gorgeous rock pools

Picnic time. Eating always makes me happy :)

This picture is hilarious...can you tell what's going to happen next to Kyle?!?


Kyle rock climbing

Gracie, Bruce, Haylee, Dad (Papa), me, & Mom (Mimi)

This pic is also hilarious of me. Thanks to our sweet baby-number-3-to-be, I started feeling really nauseated and dizzy on our hike. So, yah, this is me with my head in between my knees.

A rock pool. This were just beautiful and quite deep. This one was probably at least 3 feet deep

My camera sticks out a little further these days. We are excited!


I love, love this picture!

Picking up seashells. The weather warmed up a little, so Grace wanted her hat off. Mom saw it as a great bag to hold all her seashells in :)

Beautiful Keisha!
We were the ONLY people on the entire stretch of coast, so the sand was perfectly untouched.

Such a great photo of Kyle, Keish, Mom ,& Dad. Funny, too, because they were really holding on to eachother because of the slippery rocks. This anchor has been there since the early 1800's and has grown into the rock.
Love this

Grace wanting to climb all over the anchor. She could take it down in minutes, I'm sure :)



Mimi tickling Gracie with a seagull feather. Grace loved it!

Haylee crawling in the sand. 16 months old and still no interest in walking!!

My Mom is great :)

The waves coming in crashing against the rocks was so loud, but beautiful!

We had our picnic on these rocks

Ohhhh, how exciting to see your family! Does your mom age? I mean, she looks exactly the same as she did when you guys lived in Oklahoma!! What a pretty family! Congrats on the new little one--when do you find out the sex?
