This past weekend my family and I (and of course my best friend Miranda who is practically family anyways…plus we needed a photographer for the family photos ) went to Gulf Shores for a final summer trip “hoorah.” We had such a fantastic time, and spending time with my wonderful family always reminds me how lucky I am to have them. The condo we stayed out was AMAZING…by far the nicest place I have ever stayed and probably ever will stay. The only bad thing about the weekend was that it rained a good bit of the time, but luckily we still had a great time shopping and even managed to squeeze in a family photo shoot when it wasn’t raining. Here are some of pics from our weekend.

The inside of the condo:

I loved the decorations…”beachy” but not too cheesy:

The balcony was HUGE and even had a jacuzzi on it!

The place had like 3 pools and a lazy river:

The lazy river at night:

Seriously….#10??? Who violated that rule to the point that they had to put it up on a sign?

Miranda and my little cousin Dawson:

And me with another precious cousin of mine, Addison:

Something about this picture of my mom and my uncle Clint makes me smile:

Like I said earlier, Miranda came along to take family photos of us since we haven’t had big family pictures since like…ever.

I love this photo…its so typical of our family…just laughing and having a good time:

And of course I love this picture because I just love jumping shots…I think I may be obsessed with them.

We also took individual family shots as well. Here’s me with my beautiful family.

Oh, and I also love feet shot…another obsession of mine. Maybe I should branch out more…

We’re so cute

Me with my handsome brothers:

Can you believe this gorgeous mom is almost 50 years old?!?! Me neither…

My mom and dad:

After being in photos, I was ready to get on the other side of camera and help take photos with Miranda. Here’s my uncle Clint, aunt Tonya, and my cousin Quint:

My grandmother whom I just adore. She’s an amazing lady:

And I know y’all have seen this beautiful family before. My aunt Darla, my uncle Mike, and their gorgeous kids Addy, Bria, and Dawson:

I love picture of Bria:

And then my Dad so kindly took a picture of me with my very best friend. Thanks Miranda for taking such wonderful pictures of my family!

Oh look, another jumping shot:

I’m so blessed….
