Florida

Sorry there are so many pictures, but I couldn’t leave any of these out, I already cut out so many.  Stephan had a work conference in Orlando so we decided to take the boys and go to Disney World.  I have to say this is the best time by far to go.  It’s not too hot, just right, and there are not many lines.  I think the longest we waited was 10 minutes!

This is Austin’s first time on an air plane, and the first time Barrett remembers being on an air plane.

I can’t believe it has already been an entire year since my baby girl was born.  She has been such a joy in our family!  She really is our little princess, her brothers just can’t get enough of her.

Poor Siena, I was so sick on her birthday we didn’t do anything, we had to post pone her birthday party for a week so we could all get healthy.  Luckily she’s only one so she really didn’t know she was missing anything.

birthday35

It’s been so fun getting baby dolls and girly toys.  I think she was more interested in the wrapping paper in all honesty, but I sure had fun :)

birthday32

Such a happy girl, always smiling

What a cute little fairy

Siena didn’t quite get the concept of blowing out the candle, she just kept trying to touch it.

birthday12

You know you love your kids when you’re willing to make cakes like this for them

At first it looked like she would have a good time, but she got her hands all gunked up with frosting and then just got mad!

Happy Birthday Little Lady, we love you so much!!!

Our Family

We finally had some family pictures taken.  There were so many good ones, here are just a few of them!

Trick-or-treating

halloween5So here is where our boys are so different.  Barrett only lasted about a half our trick-or-treating, then he was too tired, came home and went to bed.  Austin would have kept trick-or-treating as long as we would have taken him.  The kid seriously cleaned out with the candy!  Here he is enjoying it in his underwear ha ha.

Halloween Half

My friend Robin and I decided to Run this Half last minute.  This is us before the race

After the race.  I’m glad I ran it, I got my new PR and placed third in my age group.

Robin, a sweet looking pink lady, also did amazing!

halloweenmarathon1Us after the race, glad to be done, but still smiling :)

Trick-or-Treating at Daddy’s work

Our kids got so much candy at stephan’s work.  Something about going from cubicle to cubicle is more efficient than going from house to house.

Austin thought this bowl was funny, every time he reached in for candy the hand would get him.

Corn Belly’s with the Beach’s

Last night we went to Corn Belly’s at Thanksgiving Point with the Beach’s.  Believe it or not this was our first time going.  It was a lot of fun, and always more fun with friends!
