Annual pumpkin carving night!

We always look forward to our pumpkin carving night to see what ideas everyone comes up with. Sailor and Brighton decided to go with traditional funny faces on their pumpkins this year. Colton did a scary face and Peyton yet again attempted to tackle a very challenging carving and half way through modified his design into a "power T"!

Boo at the Zoo!

We had a good time at Boo at the Zoo this year despite the crowd. The weather was great and so were the kids! We only got to see a few animals, no camel ride this year and the same belly dancers as last year. I think the zoo is a little like Chuck e Cheese, don't go on weekends or holidays unless you are prepared for a little pushing and shoving.

Brighton's face looks like what daddy was thinking..."why am I here?"

Sailor and her monkey friends, Eli and Cole!

Sailors new bike!

Sailor loves her new bike especially when Daddy takes her off road!! Our favorite riding spot has everything from pretty lake views, deer and even a special breed of Gypsy horses. We can't wait for those long days to return so we can get back on our bikes!

Panama City Beach Fall 2009!

Fall Break 2009! A couple of weeks ago we got to spend a whole week at the beach with record high temps for October! I was so impressed with the kids from the ride down and back, our days by the pool and trips down to the beach for a dip in the ocean. Sailor was so happy to get to spend all day swimming and Brighton befriended some "snow birders" who loaned him their shade umbrella each day! We had our first experience Geo Cashing with Colton. Teased Peyton all week about talking to girls and Heather, Bruce, Joe and I each got a date night. As usual the week flew by as all vacations do. We can't wait to go back, I am already dreaming of warm sunshine and sand and it is just November!

Just chillin by the pool! Yes we were the rednecks with the baby in the diaper by the pool but seriously it was so hot as little clothing as possible was best.

The Aquarium

Sailor and I took a day off from baby sitting with Brighton and enjoyed the Aquarium. We got to go with our good friends, Amanda, Eli, Kellye and Cole! Sailor had a great time looking at all the fish and chasing around those crazy boys!

Hanging out at the park!

We have had to get out of the house from time to time over the past 3 months. The park has been a great place to hang out!

My little dare devil!

We love to go high!

Just hanging out!

I am going to try to catch up a little since my time is about to get even shorter! My 3 month maternity leave is quickly coming to an end. I am trying to be optimistic about the whole going back to work thing. I do have mixed emotions because it is really not that I hate going back to work it is just the fact that I will not be with my two wonderful kids quite as much. Here are just a few pictures of us just hanging out over the past few months!
