Joy took tons of pictures and you can swing on over to her blog to see pictures from the trip too.

We had many memories from the week that my family came down, one would be the GRILL... you can ask any of us about it and well, i guess we would say, you have to be flexible.

 

The kids loved watching their shows on the pool deck.

 

We tried to get a group picture of the gang!

 

Baby Kora loved our house, isn't she just the cutest thing!!

 

 

 

We got a picture of most of the kids that would cooperate!

 

You are probably wondering where Willow was? Well, she was in the baby bjorn all evening... and she was a great baby!

 

Scarlett helped daddy carve the pumpkin in between playing!!

 

 

 

Scarlett and Megan on the swing!

 

Pumpkin Party

The Rife Family had a pumpkin carving party! It was in Mid October and it was nice and cool in Florida that day. The kids were able to play outside, moms were able to talk and catch up while the rest of the gang carved pumpkins.

 

Scarlett loves the sandbox. Its wonderful that other people have a sandbox at their house. We go to their house, make a mess in teh sandbox and leave...its works out well.

 

 

Lovely picture of Tara and Derek with Trista and Adilyn! Trista is about 6 months older then Scarlett and Addy will be 1 year in january... can't believe it!

 

Beautiful

My pecan pie!!

 

The sand

i just had to post these pictures too. After I downloaded my pictures, i realized i had some of Scarlett dumping sand. After asking Ryan, he proceeded to tell me that they left a trail along the whole golf course with the divit fixer sand box...

 

 

 

 

Golfing with my daddy

Scarlett loves her daddy and especially when he takes her golfing...here are a few pictures!

 

 

 

 

our little Willow

These pictures were taken mid October. Our little Willow has turned out to be quite the handful. We can't figure out when it is our turn to have a grocery baby. You know the ones you can take to the grocery store and they don't cry. You know the ones that don't cry when you put them in the car seat to go to the post office. You know the ones that just don't cry all the time.

She has good days and bad evenings. She is so fun and so temper mental. She is so smiley and cuddly. She is our Willow.

 

 

 

 

I am still breastfeeding Willow and refuse to give in. I did for Scarlett and it didn't help the fussy situation so I am not giving in on Willow. I have figured out the only thing it would gain me is the fact that i would be able to leave her for longer then 3 hours, which i really haven't yet!

Its all about Scarlett

Who built the ark? Noah, Noah...

 

We talked about Noah this week in ABC learning time. On Wednesdays, we have Worship Wednesdays!!

 

Scarlett and Daddy enjoying movie night!!

 

Scarlett and her "bun"

 

Nicki and Regina

Nicki and Regina came down to Florida for a few days. It was so nice to have them in town and I needed a break from the kids. Although, Willow was extremely fussy that week, I did get a little night out with them.


Nicki painting Scarlett's nails. She couldn't think past the thought of them coming until Nicki painted her nails.

 

oh my and the car... do you see the luxuries of not having kids right now, do ya? I am not sure if they were trying to pull off a brittany spears but they put Scarlett in the back of their car and went to the gym.

 

This picture was taken before we went out for sushi one night to meet a few friends. We all wore black! Nicki and regina had surprised me and went shopping that day for me and brought me a whole new wardrobe (yep, i am not quite into my size 6 yet)

 

that ol camera, i need a new one, this picture is blurry of us at the sushi place!!

 

Learning

One morning, my girlfriend Rochelle needed a break so she dropped off Connor and the others at school and went home to relax. So Connor joined us in Learning Time that morning. However, I only got pictures of them painting.

They are just too cute!! Connor loved it!

 

 

 

 

Connor's parents are in our small group study at church... we go on Sunday evenings to small group and its so awesome. The friendships that we have made and the support is beyond what we deserve.
