Picture Day

We had our holiday pictures taken a couple of weeks ago! I love the kid's picture on the sled! So cute!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! We had a great Thanksgiving filled with family, friends, and eating!!! My parents came into town and my mom took over the kitchen (which we all loved!!). We also visited with my dad's side of the family but I didn't get a picture of the group (just of GiGi).

Halloween night! Keira as Tinker Bell and Ty as Iron Man

 

Didn't realize this picture was blurry at the time...Brian took the kids around trick or treating while I passed out candy. He brought Keira back to the house about 45 minutes later so she could help me. She loves to pass out the candy. Brian and Ty hit the neighborhood for another hour!! Fun times and LOTS of candy!!!

Visit from Uncle Michael

Brian's Uncle Michael came out for a visit over Columbus Day weekend! Brian took Mike and Ty camping and fishing on the boat for a couple of days which was wonderful since Mike and Brian's dad always wanted a boat! 

 

Brian's sister Brooke and her husband Dave came over for Monday night football!!

Cheering on the Sharks and the Gators!!!

On the boat

We took the boat out this weekend. While we didn't catch any fish we had a great time. Keira didn't like the boat going too fast but Ty did. 

 

 It is wonderful to see Brian so happy! He truly loves the boat and being on the water!

Happy faces! We had a great time!

H is for horse



Keira's school worked on the letter H before fall break. The last day of the week her teacher, Ms. Judi had a surprise for the kids....horse rides! Keira LOVED the horses and had a huge smile on her face the entire ride!

 



 

She was one of the few kids that wanted to feed the horses carrots. She made sure her hand was flat so the horses wouldn't nip her fingers.

The Boat

Brian has wanted a boat forever. His dream of owning a boat came from his father and he has always said he would own a boat one day. Well...we are now owners of a bass boat! It is not his dream boat by any means but it is a good start! He has taken it out a couple of times and really likes it. The kids and I haven't gone on it yet but we do hope to get a trip in soon!
