Sorry for disappearing on you like that.
I never know what to do when we go on vacation because while I’m totally down with telling YOU I so don’t want Joe Creeper over there to know we’re not home. So I wrote a few posts ahead of time & then just prayed no one would be too worried that I had jumped off a bridge.
For the last week & a half ‘Mini Minaj’ & our family decided to go to the beach, beach…let’s all get away.
This one below is my favorite memory of the entire trip…
P & I were laying in lounge chairs, feet toasty in the sun & a wonderful breeze from the ocean keeping us cool while we watched our little family having the “best vacation ever” with our big family. My mom, dad (in the chair taking a grandpa nap), stepmom, stepdad, three beautiful sisters & 1 amazing brother all together in one heavenly place. I’ve dreamed of moments like these my whole life & while part of me is sad that it’s come & gone another part is so happy that we’ve given my girls some wonderful childhood summer memories. I want to soak it up & relish it forever…
Wow, that looks like heaven! Is it in FL? It looks so much like a FL beach!
Yes, just south of Sarasota…also know as heaven!
Yep! Just south of Sarasota…also known as HEAVEN on Earth
My oldest was born in New Port Richie, just north west of Tampa. I miss the beaches there and in Clearwater sometimes. And I LOVED finding all of the great shells everywhere. There is no where else that has so many shells on the beach like FL!
Small world! We always miss Florida after we leave, there’s just nowhere like it. (:
Looks like you had a wonderful time. Love the pictures. The girls are so adorable! Sophie looks so much like Kane.
I know, right?? My kids are clones of their daddy. I was just the incubator.
Loved the pictures! After separating its been hard to have vacations like that, cherish them!! Beautiful Family, Love your blog!
Oh I’m sure, so sorry that’s been tough for you ):
I’m trying to cherish every single second…even the tantrums. Well, no, not really cherishing much of those…
Want to give props to your mom and dad (and stepmom and stepdad) for being mature enough to allow their children and grandchildren this amazing gift. It is a shame more parents aren’t able to do this.
Awwww what an awesome family vacation. Loved the pictures. The girls look beautiful as always and so do you:)
How special! I pray for a vacation one day! I love that Kane wears a station shirt in the water, that’s my husband’s beach wear also, lol.
I am glad to see that you had a wonderful vacation. It is important to have memories with your children. That is the same thing I/we did with our children and they will still talk about our vacations. That may be why my two oldest are at the beach as we speak without me 🙁 hmmmm!
PS: your daughters are simply adorable. Whomever the gal is on the boat with the black shirt looks like that will be your Sam when she gets older.
So glad you had a great vacation!!!! Loved the pics. Looking forward to seeing you soon!!!
I am still new here, so forgive me… But if your husband’s name is Kane, why do you call him P?
Also, it is very refreshing that there are families that can come together like this! Happy you had a great time!
His actual name isn’t “Kane” it’s a stage name, can’t ever trust the crazy stalker fans. I mean, it is the best morning show ever! 🙂 (and no, I don’t work for the station haha – just a loyal listener and blog follower). Anyways, she uses the first letter of his name (“P”) when referring to the hubby 🙂
…. And speaking of stalkers, hahaha! jk.. mostly.
Nah, I just pay attention 🙂
Glad you had a good time on your getaway Natasha :)!
Nicely said Kelly, thanks!
Lol, as Kelly so accurately already answered…it’s because Kane actually isn’t his real name & it’s totally weird for me to call him that!
I took a mini-vacation just looking at those photos. Awesome. That is so cool you guys got to do that and that you and your husband got a bit of quality time.
Aw thanks, I’ve gone back and re-read the post like 10 separate times just to try and soak the pics up some more…the end of vacation is so bittersweet!
LoL! Am I the only one who noticed the Nicki Minaj (mini) costume PLUS song reference! Ha! So fitting! That Natasha and her clever way with words! 🙂 Gosh I love this blog!
Ha! Thank you! I was wondering if anyone noticed that (:
GREAT PHOTOS, NATASHA!
I just came from Florida too!! I was at the beaches in Clearwater. As always, great pictures! I’m here to give you hope. Baby Soph is starting to look more like a mix of you and Kane instead of just being his clone!
Ha! A child of mine that actually looks like me?? I can’t imagine.
Where in Florida were you at??
Tampa-Clearwater area. My brother and his family live there. I call his house my own slice of heaven. I practically LIVE on the beach when I’m there!
