More October Fun!

Our "Stay-cation"

Doug had a week off! And instead of trying to cram flying back and forth from the east coast to west coast in 7 days, we decided to stay put and enjoy the beautiful cities of St. Petersburg and Tampa. Here are some pics of some good ole family time.

We took the boys to Busch Gardens, the zoo to meet Diego, the pier, out for gelatto, the beach and then we also hosted a wine and cheese party for our adult friends. Good times!

Harrison Turns 3!!!

The lucky boy had 3 fun filled days of pure celebration. Sunday morning, his actual bday, daddy took Harrison out for doughnuts and later that night it was Chucky Cheese for pizza and fun. Every since his cousin's introduced him to the place, it's been on the top of restaurant list.

The next day he brought cupcakes to class so all his classmates could enjoy his special day with him. And then finally, the next day we had a birthday party at a local Bounce House facility. I think his favorite part was his breaking the Diego Pinata. :)

Happy Birthday Harrison!

It's My Birthday!

Happy Birthday to me! I'll share, I turned 32. Yikes! My "scary age" of 40 is creeping up on me! I had a fantastic day doing what I enjoy most, spending time with my family. I decided to pack up the kids and Moly and head over to the local Dog Beach. Since it was Monday, there were only a few people on the beach and a handful of dogs. Moly was throughly entertained, managing her time between herding Harrison and herding the other dogs that came across her path. Harrison and Davis enjoyed talking to people, sticking thier feet in the water and collecting sea shells for a craft we wanted to do later.

We finished the day with a Filet Mignon BBQ cookout in our backyard. I LOVE relaxing in the backyard with the kids! Daddy finally joined us at 8 PM, and although it was the kids bedtime I insisted we go out for gelatto. As you can see we ALL enjoyed mama's special day!


Harrison the aspiring photographer! Every time he see's the camera, he HAS to take a picture. I think he did a pretty good job. :)

Can you believe Harrison took this picture?

Recent video of the boys! Now that Davis is walking, he is able to go on the kiddie rides at Bush Gardens!

Uncle Jeff's Visit!

Here are some pictures from our weekend with Uncle Jeff. The boys were highly anticipating picking Uncle Jeff up from the airport and spending time with him. But mom and dad were more exciting to get out and do some fun things together. Highlights from our FABULOUS weekend include (but were not limited to), lots of FINE dinning experiences, shopping, tennis, boating, swimming, comedy club, seeing a Broadway production of Mama Mia, hanging out at a Cuban Cigar bar listening to salsa music. All and all it was a blast!
