Gavin as "Peanut"

Yesterday Nick and I got to attend Gavin's book report presentation and character day at school. He decided to write his report on one of his favorite Magic Treehouse books and dress up like the mouse in the story. He did a fantastic job presenting. I was a little nervous my shy kid wouldn't be able to face his fears in front of so many parents and classmates, but he did it! So proud of you Gav man!

Random Fall Happenings

We have enjoyed play dates, soccer, bday parties, fall festivals, and much more these last few weeks. Just love all these pictures of my crew members! 






Happy birthday Stella

We had a great time celebrating Stella on Saturday! The kids loved the Halloween themed bday party! I love that my trio loves Stella since I sure do love her mommy! We have been friends since I was 19 and Ginny was 18. Now we have a new generation of friends!

Partin Ranch Fall Fun

I told myself I wouldn't allow myself to get behind on blogging ever again. Well, it happened and here I am months behind and feeling overwhelmed by the amount of pictures I have to document. I am forcing myself just to start with yesterday! We had a great day at Partin Ranch way out in the boonies far from home. It was some good ol' down home fun. All the kids said their favorite part was the corn maze. There was a big kid maze and a mini maze. Chloe loved pulling the corn off the stalk in the mini maze and shucking it which was probably not what she was supposed to be doing in the maze. That's our Chloe though! I absolutely love this time of year in Florida. After a dreadfully hot summer it's so nice to be outside. Therefore, we pack our weekends with fun outdoor activities. I am tired this morning, but feeling fulfilled as I get ready to send the kids off to school. I sure do love my little family!

This!!!

I have been doing some major clean out this weekend. Before Chloe, I was able to stay on top of things and keep my OCD tendencies under check. After Chloe, there has been no time for any cleaning out. I came across this in the huge stack of adoption paperwork I was working on organizing in the wee hours of the early morning. I may not be organized, but I would take crazy and chaotic any day knowing this is no longer her destiny!

Legoland

We started the summer off with a trip to Legoland for Luke's birthday. Luke's mama sure knows how to throw a party. We loved spending the day with Gavin's buddies (plus Ethan) at this awesome park!





Hammock Beach 2015

Well after 12 days away we are finally on our way home. We wrapped up the last nights of our vacation at Hammock Beach. We had so much fun...this is by far my favorite part of our time away. We made some great memories. Love our little family!
