Our Sunday Best!!

Hey Hey, it's the Gilbert Crew looking as dapper as ever. I know we are all really goodlooking anyway, but dressing us up only enhances our beauty. If you are wondering why the boys are in their beach sandals for church, well I somehow lost their good shoes amongst the packing up and moving out of the condo....whoops! However, I did find them buried deep in the bottom of my suburban when we unpacked at home. Oh yeah!!!

Easter at Grandaddy's and Grandma's

Who's that girl? She's too big to be our little poodle!!


We actually had a fire burning Easter morning....Who does that? It was so cold!!!

Hippity Hoppity Easter is on it's way!!

I have started growing plastic easter eggs out of my ears. Every time I turn around we are at another easter egg hunt. Each of the boys had one at school before we left for vacation. The Saturday we left to go to the beach there was an easter egg hunt at our church in Chipley FL. Then, the kids hunted eggs after church on Easter Sunday. If I see another plastic egg it's hitting the trash can, the kids have already been informed!!! Hayden and Ethan cleaned up as usual. Abigail didn't do to shabby herself. She attended all the egg hunts and left with at least 3 eggs from each of the festivities. She enjoys hitting two together verses running around like a goofball trying to find as many as you can. I think she already realized she will get the candy no matter what, so why over exert herself? I thought I could get some really cute pictures if the kids in the Easter attire, but yeah Miss Priss didn't feel like cooperating. I think part of the problem is her brothers think they need to hold on to her for the picture, and she really isn't going for that! But, you can see how they turned out anyway.

Panama City Beach

That is NOT our condo behind us!!!

Still at the Beach

Panama City Beach 2007

We had a groovy time at the beach! The boys made and destroyed more sand castles than I can count, including the ones that didn't belong to us! We made some new friends and ate some great food! Abigail did very well with the sand beneath her toes. Before you knew it, she was acting like she was in her own living room rolling around on the sand and even trying to eat some of it! Enjoy the pics!

Beach Chair Nazi

Okay, I know it has been a while, but things here have been crazy. We have been gone for over a week and it is hard to get back into the swing of things when you come home. I don't know about ya'll, but I am still in vacation mode! We spent last week sunnin' our buns at the beach in Panama City, that is until the cold front blew in and sent us packing with our beach chairs, sand toys, and umbrellas back to the condo. We had 4 beautiful days of sun and fun. Well all was fun except for the Beach Chair Nazi who was running the chair and umbrella rental. Here's what really happened. John awoke early one morning (5:30am) to go deep sea fishing. We being the money savers we are brought our own beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. (Not to mention that they were bootin' people off the chair pads and taking their umbrellas down anytime after 4:00.) So, I asked John to set our stuff back out at the beach before he left. Of course he did, because he is just that wonderful!!!! Anyhoo, around 7:30ish Beach Chair Nazi and his drone were out there setting up for the day. Apparently, John had leaned our chairs against one of their chairs. So they took it upon themselves to throw our things next to the trash can. WHAT?? THE TRASH CAN!!!! Yeah, I don't think so!!! So, me and my pajamas hi-tailed it down to the beach to get a few things straight. I simply stated to him in a nice teacher like tone, that I would not accept the new placement of my chairs or the way the were handled. Beach Chair Nazi informed me they carefully placed my chairs, umbrellas and sand toys over there by the trash can, because people leave stuff here all the time and they are supposed to clean up their area each morning. Yeah, whatever!!! The Chairs were not even close to being next to each other, the sand toys had fallen out of the basket and scattered around, careful my hiney!!!! So I reinformed Beach Chair Nazi, that he has seen us here all week sitting in the same spot with the same beach paraphernalia, and do I look stupid enough to leave ALL of this stuff here and never come back for it?? He quickly got with the program and he and his drone "carefully" put my stuff back where they found it! While I supervised, of course. I mean really, do they not know who I am??

Other than that we had a ball!!!
