Kids Weekend Get Away

What a great day the kids had with the Loose family! Abi, Emily, Nolan, and Haley went with Mr. and Mrs. Loose down the river towards Silver Springs. What a remember able day it was. The kids saw turtles, birds, alligators, ducks, and monkeys. It was quite exciting for them. They were a bit chilly, it rained, and of course there was the issue of no restroom. Haley was shocked about being allowed to possibly use the restroom anywhere but in the bathroom. Mrs. Loose said we were going to have to take her out more. She wanted toilet paper and all! Needless to say, they didn't make it as far as they had planned but they will always remember this trip. Happy Boating!

If you look closesly, you can see the monkey in the tree!

I don't know who they are trying to fool but it isn't me!

Happy Haunting From Our Family to Yours

Halloween was spooktacular this year. Last week we had a Halloween party full of food, games, prizes, hay rides, a bomb fire, and most importantly, lots of little ones! As one of our family traditions we carved our pumpkins and even experimented with floating them in the pool. We went trick or treating with the Loose family. Nolan and Abi both attended Halloween parties at friend's houses, growing up way too fast, we missed them so much!!! The kids fell asleep quickly after their busy Halloween day. Finally, Ryan and I had a quiet evening relaxing together. What a remarkable Halloween season it has been. Happy Halloween!

A Beautiful Evening

Just take time to notice a peaceful moment of your day.

A perfect time to thank God for his constant presence.

Gators Rock!

WOW! Last night my husband was kind enough to surprise me with Florida/LSU tickets. We had a blast at the game even though anyone that knows Ryan realizes that he is a huge Seminole fan - poor guy! Needless to say, he wasn't cheering along with me. The point is true love really matters and I appreciate his support of thinking of me and the teams I support. As I've always said, we should always take time to do nice things for others because being happy is contagious! GO GATORS!

We Have Babies!

Our latest addition to our school class - baby quails! We have been taking part in a discovery lesson for a hands on learning experience with the embryology 4H program. The eggs were delivered with all of the necessary equipment and observations took place for about 23 days. We were able to watch 8 baby quail join our class. It was quite an exciting opportunity for all of us.

Pray then Play Basketball

We have started this year's basketball season. Haley scored 22 points in her first game! My dad has a new nickname for our Haley bug, he is now calling her STAR . Nolan was point guard for his team and scored 6 points. Nolan is an awesome team player having 3 rebounds and 8 assist. We are proud of our basketball stars!
