Cousins



My sister, Aimie's baby Marlie and Kynzee. Marlie is 9 months and Kynzee is 6 months.

USS Alabama



Aiden in the ship's Jail





We stopped in Mobile Alabama on our way back to Mississippi to the airport to see the USS Alabama ship. This ships don't thrill me, but Ben and Aimie's husband, Aaron love them. The kids really liked it.

Wakulla Springs Swimming with the Alligators


Our aweseome 2012 rental. It was pretty high tech and I loved it...except the van part :p



Snake Bird





Aiden took a ton of pictures of Wakulla Springs. These are just a few. Wakulla Springs is a state park full of wild animals. Some include: Manatees, Snake Birds, many other birds and of course the Famous Alligator. The picture on the bottom is of the kids holding a REAL alligator head. Ben has wanted to buy them one for a long time. They thought it was the coolest thing.

Ben's Mission

This is where Ben lived when he served in Bristol. WOW an actual house.
This Apartment on the end is where Ben lived in Defuniak Springs. He called it a hole in the ground. Aiden literally believed him.

The Apartment in the bottom is where Ben lived in Pensacola.

Ben served his mission in Tallahassee Florida. We had the chance to go to every city he served in. He never did serve in Tallahassee. We drove from Pensacola to Bristol, Quincy, Bluntstown, Crestview, Defuniak Springs and even Tallahassee.

We had the chance to take pictures of all the places he lived except the apartment in Quincy. There was a lady sitting on the porch smoking and was giving us evil glares because we were driving slow past "her" house. We didn't take a picture for fear she would shoot us or something.
I feel very blessed that we had the chance to go. I know Ben really loved it and I am happy that he got to return to his mission once again.

Aiden's Photography of the Blue Angels Practice








Aiden LOVES to take pictures. He tends to move the camera before it is finished capturing the moment and then of course the image is blurry. These pictures were the nonblurry ones.
The Blue Angels were practicing for the air show that was going to the week after we were in Pensacola (of course). They are amazing.

2 Million Dollar Ceiling


Yes, that is real money hanging from the ceiling. There is about 2 million dollars and counting all in 1 dollar bills hanging from this ceiling at this Irish Pub in Pensacola. It was awesome. We watched some people staple up a couple dollars to add their contribution. Aiden was amazed

Naval Aviation Museum






The kids in a Blue Angel F18 Jet

Didn't plan that picture that way but I love it!

The Naval Aviation Museum was awesome. The kids loved it. Kynzee even did even though she is crying.
