Surfside Beach, Texas

As most of you know, we spent a week at the beach as a family (on the Cassell side).  We had a wonderful trip.  We had a chance to spend time with and say goodbye to Brent - which was bitter-sweet.  Such an amazing kid/man.  I didn't want to say goodbye, but grateful that we had the chance to tell him how much we love him.

I have a TON of pictures, but wanted to at least get a few of them up on the blog.  I still haven't touched my Cooperstown/DC/Williamsburg pictures.  With Brent's passing, and funeral, I found myself going through my beach pictures first.  Maybe I'll get to the Cooperstown pics sometime before next summer!  I'll be hosting all the beach pics on snapfish, or something.  I'll add the link in when I get them all up.  Way too many to blog - just putting up a few of my boys & Brent for now. 
The Whole Gang!



The Boys

Crabbing!!!  Yes...we caught & ate many crabs!

Blake waiting on his crab line...
Blake finally caught a little one.  I think we threw this one back!  Some man came & gave us directions to a better crabbing spot & then we caught the big ones!!  Too bad I didn't have my camera with me that day!
Austin:  Riding the waves!!  (Or lack thereof)

Austin had some sweet kayaking skills!

Never too old to play in the sand apparently!  Whitney & Austin

Blake spent most of his time skim-boarding

Cade...not so much.

Success!


Brian showing off his kayaking skills...

Uhhhhhhh.....

We caught SHARKS!!

There were LOTS of sharks!!!

Class of 2011!

This was Austin's Senior Class Prank!  FMHS Senior Flash Mob!  Very cool.  No...Austin didn't participate.  He should have, but couldn't get him to do it.  He thinks he's too white!  Anyways, enjoy!!!

Bag in the "Swing" of things!

 The days of baseball have begun.  Starting out strong with a 2nd place finish last weekend!  Would have been cooler if they hadn't have received the world's tackiest, ugliest trophies EVAH!  That sucker didn't even make the shelf.  You really have to appreciate the hideous fake-gold/bronze color coupled with the fact that the "player" on the top is almost life-sized.  Seriously...someone should be shot for picking those out!  But my son is so cute!

Snow Day!














We had a fun snow day back in February!  Just getting around to posting them.  Not so great at the blogging thing!  Handsome boys and super handsome doggies!
