We're makin' Christmas Cookies

Let me catch you up!

Brett and I went to Indiana and Ohio over Thanksgiving Break this year, here are some highlights:

Amanda's Baby Shower, I'm gonna be an Auntie!

Showing the baby bump as she enters the third trimester


I had a Thanksgiving Birthday!


The Family came over to celebrate and have dessert :)

(Did you notice Dad holding the pic of Sierra so she could be included? That was his idea, lol, Oh and Grandpa decided to be a kneeler in the front! haha)

A Flash of Fall

This past weekend we traveled back to Indiana and tried to cram in all the true "fall" experiences that we can't have down here in Florida.


The Mississinewa 1812 reenactment!





Haha, we're so patriotic...


Cute! Only 18 more weeks till baby girl Harrison is here!


We of course conducted a search for the perfect pumpkin to carve. (Brett is very particular)


Aw, a classic fall pic. A boy with his dog...and pumpkin ;)


And of course we visited the boys! Brett created a special seat for Keaton. :)

Did I mention I held a piglet?

This was my labor day weekend.


Brett stylin' in his new hat.


Our last time all together before Sierra leaves the country!


Holding a baby pig at the Salsbery Farm!


Awww, sleepy piggies


Mad House!


What a nice September Day. :)

Fourth of July Weekend

My Parents and Sierra were able to pass through Kokomo and join in on some of the fun.

Brett and I finally met the new addition to the family, little Keaton Lee. Here he is with big brother Landon in their new red wagon!

We played Shuffleboard!

St.Pete has the largest Shuffleboard Club in world! So we checked it out. It's a lot harder than you'd think!

Our Apartment

Here is a video tour of our apartment, it was taken May 2010.

The song is "Tension and Thrill" by Sleeping at Last (basically it was about the same length as the video and the title pretty much describes life right now ;))

This Week We Went on a Cruise to the Bahamas

Here are some highlights:


Setting sail! (well, not exactly sails, but you get the point)


waving goodbye!


Cute! ;)


CocoCay, Bahamas A storm was a comin'! Actually there ended up not really being that much rain, just some drops, but it was cloudy.


We did have time for the Cupid Shuffle though!
