Congrats ...

Happy Birthday to my little brother, Thad, who turned 50 years old today ... as he said, "It's just another year!" He's my little brother who towers over me at around 6'4' or so!! But, he's still my little brother!!

And congrats to our granddaughter, Regan, who will be 12 in June. She just won third place in a speech contest in Winter Haven. As you can see, she was quite thrilled with her medal (and she also got $20!)

Spring Break, etc.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words ... who is "they" anyway. However, if that is true, then following are well over 10,000 words! The grandkids celebrated Spring Break in a variety of ways -- but most of the time, the beach is involved since it is only a couple miles away! Kamen and Tyler were ready to go (above) and Tyler knew it was photo op time so donned his 'okay, I'll smile' expression!



Fishing at Fort Desoto -- Tyler and his friend, Jake, took in fishing along with Tim, of course.

Nana's pool can be a good substitute for the beach sometimes.!


And we must not forget Ava ...
And RJ is sure the view is better from this perspective!

Ava is so much fun and Kasi's a good mom!


Oldest and youngest -- Marley, 13, and Rudy, almost 2

The three gals -- Bailey, Marley, Regan

What is it about boys and wanting to stand on their heads or hang upside down?!

Trying to fish at an early age -- Rudy and dad, Jeff

And Marley is trying her hand at fishing, too!

Love playing in that sand!

Now it's nap time -- for mom and daughter!

And now it's on to Air Hockey!! And cousin competition!!

Tyler was quite amused!!! This was probably after he told RJ, "RJ, you gotta listen to your mom 'cause it's in the Bible!"
