Florida Favorites

I have been trying to decide out of the thousands of pictures that I took in Florida, what to put on my blog, not wanting to do what has been done by others... well there are still to many, so I decided to do my FAVORITES of FLORIDA.

Of course the wedding was the best event of the trip, it was the perfect romantic atmosphere. Colette did all the decorations and planning on her own. You can tell that she put alot of sweat, tears and emotions into her wedding and it all paid off she is an amazing person, Jake is one lucky guy, and we are very excited to have her in our family, she fits right in.


Beautiful Bride Perfect setting Mr. & Mrs. Jacob Holbrook


The girls dancing with Jake and Kyle. Poor PJ... sickie of the day


This is the wedding rehearsal dinner, it took place at Colette's grandma Rene's house. Rene also lives in Utah. Colette's family is so friendly and welcomed us all. Not only their family but the entire 2nd family out in Florida that has adopted Jake and taken him in are wonderful people. Not too surprising when Jake is a great person himself. It was really good to get out to Pensacola and finally put faces to the names of the people who have inherited my little brother. If it was up to me however, he and Colette would be in Utah, very quickly.

Grayce had a blast with Jake and Colette. Oh, lets take pictures! Hey where's Brandi???


What a good looking couple. What a good looking man!!

On Mothers day we went to McGuires for brunch. It is a great little Irish pub. Not only are they known for their great food but they have dollar bills stapled to the ceiling, about $720,000.00 worth and still counting. So we added a $1.00 in the name of the Holbrook wedding.




OHHHHH THE BEACH, I can not say how much I loved the beach and I wish we spent more time there but since we had some fungus among us we spent alot of time at the hotel pool. As long as the kids were together they were happy.


Hey the sand is white! Clear waters. Ganer playing with the kids




Look out Ladies!


We love Colette and Jakes house. It is very homey and we were all able to hang out, all 147 of us!



The last few hours. what a cute bunch of kids.... where's Kyle and Truman????
