Pufferfish WOW! new world record

the Biggest Puffer EVER!

this guy was a beast!

The line cut Josh's finger because it was so heavy- insane!

Fish Fish and more Fish- we ate them until our hearts delight today!

The last Fourth of July outfit- waaa.

I had to sneak this last outfit in- she had jean bloomers on before but you know how that goes :)

Love, love, love with Emmy and Daddy!

This is one of my favorite pictures- Emmy LOVES her daddy and his tickles!

Are you serious? Could this be cuter? They are so much alike it's scary :)

She loves to look at the world upside down...

what fun!

Ruins, Ruins, and more Ruins!

The 2 J's in a secret old room.

My Dad standing in the "Jungle Book" ruins- what fun!

Mr. Hermit crab crawling around the ruins.

a wet wet wet hike to Fort Shirley

evil crab! evil crab!

this is a room full of baby cannon balls from "Pirates of the Carribean" times

fun, wet times hiking our lives away...

My dad was very excited about the baby cannon bals :)

Happy Birthday to Booky!

Emmy is in her birthday surprise outfit in honor of her Booky's (my mom's) birthday- here they are with a beautiful Birthday bouquette that Jason picked just for her! :)

Here is Emmy (or a very wet looking Thomas) with Booky after a shower with Papa!

fish, fun and the fourth!

A baby grouper-- I don't want to meet his momma!

Josh and Dad went fishing out in the sea with a local fisherman- tons of stories!

Apparently they went in a little dingy into waves 2x's the size of the boat.

Emmy loves the Sea!

One of Emmy's Fourth of July outfits- so fun! it says "little sparkeler"

the Fourth of July!!!

more of the fam!

Josh with his newest love- passion fruit-- we went out and picked them :)

Liz with the squid- we also saw a baby lobster, an octopus, 3 moray eels in a fish box, 3 little eels swimming around and a puffer fish! wow! it was a great day :)

Emmy tied to her best friend Booky! so so cute :)

Emmy kept trying to grab the squid (the child has no fear!) so I distracted her with the ground- not the greatest idea...

a fun day at the beach...

Dad found a giant squid of death...

Josh loved him!

He later became bait.

Red, white and blue!

adventures in the walker...

she is so funny! she always is showing up with a pair of jammies- I don't know how she finds them, but I take them and put them away and then a few minutes later she is running around the house chewing on them. wow.

she loves to grab things and run away-- this time, she didn't realize how big the thing that she grabbed was- ha!

puppy chewing.

all of these adventures, including this photo, occurred sometime between 6 am and 7 am- she is a busy little thing early in the morning...

walking all over laundry day!

Emmy was a crazy girl today- she kept running around the house like a marathon runner.

laundry day! check out the view from our balcony I love my life!

I HATE this rooster- he lives in the back yard behind us and runs away when I come out because I throw rotten fruit at him.

more laundry day and more of our balcony :)

the happiest child alive!

Are you serious? I'm sorry, but I want to eat her alive!

I love her little face.

so happy to be alive!

Even happier!

She was so hyper today- like a little crazy...
