last week we took a trip out to tampa, florida to visit my brother blake, his wife melissa and their two fabulous children emery (3) and max (7 weeks). they just moved to florida from new mexico about three months ago. i have also never been florida so i was super stoked! my parents were there visiting at the same time. it was a grand family reunion (almost complete...we missed you bryan!)

so here are some...okay, lots of pics of our week in florida.

here's the cute family.

emery was so much fun to be around. he talked like crazy and laughed even more. he is sweet and loving and has a little stubborn streak too. he would say super cute things like "how was your sleep kiki (that's what he calls me)?" "you look beautiful mommy." and my personal favorite..."we have the best family." yeah he's cute.

here are some fabulous pics of that cutie.

max is the cutest little...or chubby baby ever. he is so sweet and mellow and so much stinkin' fun to cuddle with. he has the cutest yawns and the absolute best sneezes. he always sneezes twice and then the third one is a fake out and when he can't get it out gives this huge sigh. i tried to get it on video, but apparently babies won't sneeze on command. who knew?

here are some fabulous pics of mr. max.

we did lots of fun stuff, such as...

clay and i took emery to the zoo.

we took a little day trip to st. petersberg.

ate some delicious five guys burgers.

spent an afternoon at anna maria island.

and did lots of lounging.

because my family is so good looking i just have to post some more randoms from the trip.

thanks blake, melissa, emery & max for being such great hosts.
