Busy week

It has been a very busy week! Saturday the 8th Christina and I went to her photo shoot. We were there about 2 hours. I think her photos turned out really good. Shes not wearing makeup, they want a fresh clean face. She wasn't all happy about that, but they look good. I'd post them, but I am on Mikey's laptop, and it doesn't have them.
Friday Caleb and I went to work with Mike. He only had a 10 min job, but it was down in Sebastian, which is on the coast about 1 1/2 hours south.
It was Caleb's first time seeing daddy's work. Its funny, all the kids have thought that his work is FEDEX because he gets work deliveries 2 times a week.
Here is a 'camera' that he serviced today. It is a camera of his old company he worked for over 10 years ago.

Caleb got to push the buttons and move the camera. After Mikey was done at work we drove north on A-1A. It runs up the islands on the outer edge of Florida's coast. We found this restaurant. Lobster Shanty. http://jackbakerslobstershanty.com/ We ate Thai Skewered Swordfish, Volcano Calamari (Spicy thai chili sauce), clam chowder, lobster bisque, and Rock Shrimp (which is only caught locally off the coast of Cape Canaveral). Everything was wonderful! Caleb even got a chocolate Sunday.

The restaurant had a dock that we walked down.

We could see a sailboat that was sinking.

Then we walked down to the beach. Caleb had fun picking up seashells and playing in the water. Sometimes its nice doing things with only 1 child at a time. He was so well behaved, and talked to the waitress, and other people. We had a wonderful afternoon. The weather was mid 70's. It was a great day. This is one of the best perks of Mikey's job. We get to see so many different places, and its pretty much free! Our family is doing as many things possible to 'go GREEN'. We bought these cloth bags to put all our groceries in from now on. NO MORE PLASTIC!!!! I bought 15, and even tho I spent an average of 200 a time, the most bags we've used is 10. The plastic bags were like 20!

Christina is having her 16th birthday party this weekend. Today we got this Castle 'jumpy' for her and 10 of her friends. The drivers decided they didn't feel like coming back tonight, so we get it all night until tomorrow at 12ish. That's way cool!!! We did a BBQ for them. Man, can teenage boys EAT! Holy cow! One guy ate 4 hamburgers!!! Most ate 2. I bought 6 lbs of meat and there is no leftovers. I am so glad I am only feeding them one more time. Tomorrow we are going to take her and 6 friends to Cocoa Beach. We are getting a 6 foot sub to take with us to eat on the beach. If thats not enough, TOUGH!!!

Somehow birthdays in this family are always extended into birth DAYS.
