The end of August/beginning of September we had a special 9 days with Evan & Joanna, and Jaley! They flew in on a Sunday afternoon, so we all drove down to Orlando to pick them up, and meet Jaley for the first time=) (except Alayna!) We had fun celebrating Frank's birthday at the springs, going to the zoo, playing card games and soccer around here, going to the beach, and having a cookout with Uncle Gary and Aunt Diana!
Here's some pictures... enjoy!

| No one got enough of Jaley... it's just that way when there's a baby in the house! (But she IS extra adorable...=) |
 |
| Frank opening his gifts! |
 |
And blowing out his candles... no, he's not as old as the amount of candles on his cake...LOL
He turned THREE! |
 |
| We went to the Jacksonville zoo on a Tuesday, and had the whole place to ourselves! They had a really cute live animal show, which we all enjoyed immensely! |
 |
| Trying to count the flamingos... quite a challenge when they're moving about so much! |
 |
| "It's not gonna get me, Anayna?" =) |
 |
| Petting the sting rays! |
 |
| My little buddy:) |

 |
| Mimi had "Jaley watch" at the beach! |

 |
| And this is another favorite! |
 |
| Eating out at Chipotle, a family favorite... |

Playing cards with Uncle Gary and Aunt Diana was a fun way to "end" the full 9 days together...
