Beach Bums!

We are here at the beach and we are having the BEST time. I told Jeremy just a minute ago that out of the eight years I have been coming to the beach this has been the best. I am really not sure what is different, but we are having a blast. I thought that I would just give a run down of how my days go here at the beach...



7:00 am...kids wake us up ready to go.

7:30 am...after Jeremy and I are forced out of the bed, we go see KK and Pop and eat breakfast.

8:30 am...after I get everyone fed and lathered up with sunscreen we head down to the beach to play in the sand for about an hour or an hour and a half.

9:30 am...we then head to the pool to play with all of our aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins. In case you do not know there are 19 Kemp's here at the beach!

11:00 am...we head into the condo to eat lunch. By this time it is apparent that my kids can no longer function and they must go take a nap to be able to be normal social creatures.

12:00 pm...my husband and children head to the condo to go to bed and sleep. Now, this is fantastic. Jeremy wants to take a nap everyday, and it works out perfectly for my vacation to start at this time.

12:00 pm... I head to the beach, BY MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I lay out in my chair, read a book, and usually fall asleep, with my mouth wide open. Everyday so far, i have had a family member come up to me and say your mouth is open. It is paradise.

3:30 pm...My kids wake up and join me at the pool. We swim with everyone again, and just have a grand ole time.

4:30 pm... We head inside to figure out what we are doing for dinner. This is usually deciding between going out and talking Kay into fixing something that is much better than anything you can buy in a restaraunt here.

We then head home at whatever time and either go swimming again, play outside, or just hang out in the condo and get all of the kids ready for bed.

I am here to tell you that for some reason, although the same as every other year, this has by far been the best! I feel like my life is just complete!

Thank you vacation for giving me the time to appreciate everything that God has blessed me with! Everyone should take the time to just sit back and love the family God has given you!

I will post pics later, until then have a GREAT week!

The Good, the bad, and the ugly






First off I am so sorry to the four or five people who read my blog that I have not written in almost a month. I did not even realize it had been that long. Unfortunately there are no pics to accompany this post, but I hope it is enjoyable none the less.






The Good: WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our little house has been for sale for a year now, and we are so thrilled that it has worked out! Three or four posts ago I told you some good things may be happening and both things came through. Jeremy got the head coach job for Gainesville, and we sold our first little house. I think that we have until the end of July to get everything out and ready! I am so excited though!!!!! As for where we will go, we don't know yet. We have a few potential places, but in the meantime if we have not found anything by the end of July, then we will probably be living in the upstairs of Jeremy's parents house. So, we are over the moon that this worked out for us!






The Bad: Now we have to move! AHHHHHH! I have never actually moved my belongings. Yes, my parents moved 100 times, but I never had to actually do anything really. Then when me and Jeremy moved to Gainesville we barely had anything to our names. Nothing that really meant anything anyways. Now, Ha, we have so much crap, and I don't even know where to begin. If anyone has tips for me let me know, better yet, come on over.






The ugly: My little Addie has Hand, Foot, Mouth disease. Let me clarify, she has a viral infection which causes you to get blisters on your mouth, feet, hands, and bottom. She ran a fever all night Friday, and I finally got it to break Saturday morning and then she slowly started getting a rash. That rash went away and my mom and I just thought that it was rosiola, but then she started getting blisters on her tongue and all around her mouth. I never even noticed the blisters that the doctor pointed out on her little hands and feet. She is pitiful, what is worse is that you can not take anything for it.






So our lives are good, but extremely busy! Good news is is that summer baseball is almost over and we are heading to the beach! I will have a lot of pics from the beach. I promise not to be gone so long next time. I will post some more things here in the near future about my wishlist for my new house! This way all of you guys know exactly what I want when you go to the store to buy me something. Just kidding, but at least you will know what I am wishing for.
