Martin Family Tennessee Trip

The Martin family took a week long trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee in June. Lindsey was 30 weeks along while we were there.

Max, Mary, Jud, Lindsey, Bekah, Kara and Chad outside the Biltmore Estate (built in 1895 by the Vanderbilt family) in Asheville, NC.

Bekah is now 2 1/2 and super cute. She can't wait to meet Miller.

Jud and Lindsey at the highest point in Smokey Mountain National Park.
We were really close to a black bear as we drove out of the park.

Lindsey's Baby Shower

Lindsey (28 weeks pregnant) had her first baby shower hosted by 6 of her closest friends (Maggie, Laura, Charline, Lindsay holding baby Evan, Benet and Carly) and her sister Evan.

MS150 - Houston to Austin

Jud rode in his second Houston to Austin MS150 bike ride with Ricky, Andy and John. Blake and Blake were their Pit Crew (Cheerleaders).

California

In April we went to the central coast of California for a wedding of our good friends Laura and Matt.

This was the background of the ceremony.

It's a Boy - Miller!

We had an ultrasound at 18 weeks. . . Meet Joseph "Miller" Martin!

Look at that profile.

There is no doubt it's a boy!

Look at the bottom of his right foot.

Here's his arm - we counted 10 fingers and 10 toes!

Aloha Hawaii

In March, the Argue family went to the Big Island for 8 days of fun and relaxation.

The Four Seasons Hualalai was an amazing resort!

Jud and Joe played 5 rounds of golf while we were there. Each course had breathtaking views of black lava overlooking the ocean or volcano.

We took a drive up to Akaka Falls which is a 420 foot drop.

From the falls we traveled to two of the world's most active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa.

On our last night we to a Luau, with a pig and all. The food was amazing.

The fam at dinner one night.

Sisters taking in the breathtaking views.

We're Pregnant!

Jud got a surprise in his stocking. Lindsey's Pregnant. The greatest Christmas gift ever! Lindsey is due August 25.

Lindsey's 30th Birthday

Jud surprised Lindsey with a four day birthday trip to Zihuatanejo, Mexico for her 30th birthday. She was told to pack her bags for someplace warm. Zihuatanejo is next to Ixtapa on the Pacific Ocean side.

Lindsey is relaxing in the hammock in their room. Yes, we had our own plunge pool. Needless to say, we didn't leave our room much.

This is the view from our room. Zihuatanejo is a cove set up in the mountains.

This is before we went to dinner the first night at our hotel, La Casa Que Canta. The food was delicious.

Here we are at dinner overlooking the Ocean.

We had the chance to go scuba diving. This is a view of our hotel as we headed out on the dive boat. This was the most relaxing and romantic trip we have ever been on. We'd go back anytime. Good job Jud!

Thanksgiving

We were in Lincoln for Thanksgiving and got to visit with Jud's family. Beakh is now 19 months old and too cute!

Jud and I with Kara, Chad, Bekah, Jud's Grandfather and Esther.

The whole Martin family - I'm sure this will be Max & Mary's Christmas card picture.

We celebrated Christmas while we were there. Here's Bekah playing with her new wood food in her new apron. Could she be in cutier in her "ponies"?

Minnesota

We went to Rochester, MN to visit Jud's sister Kara, her husband Chad and their precious daughter Bekah. She is 18 months and such a sweetheart.

Jud taught her to say dirty words like boogie and poop.

We went to a pumpkin patch and Bekah wasn't quite sure what to think of the big pumpkins.

Jud and Bekah have a special bond - they are the only redheads in the family.
