Weekend trip to Vero

This weekend we loaded up the car and headed down to Vero to visit the Wilson's. Jason was Bryan's mentor when he first started at PSS so he pretty much lived with them for about 6 weeks. I think that is where Bryan got bit by the fishing bug so guess what the boys did on Saturday... you got it! They went fishing! And crabbing just to mix it up a little. Of course, all I could imagine was the show 'Deadliest Catch' but logic tells me it wasn't near as dangerous in the in Intercoastal! The Wilsons have 3 boys and Addison just loved each one! She must have asked them their names 100's of times.... I'm not exaggerating!! It was the running joke of the weekend, "what is your name? what is your name?" Here are some pictures...

Cameron's turn!

Addison has a new buddy to push her on the swing!

Addison caught a fish! YEAH!

While we were down south, my favorite photographer Sara Kauss came and took family pictures for us. Hopefully we will have another fun Christmas card to send out! Wish me luck!

My New 'Twins'!

It's not what you all might be thinking, we didn't find two babies in my tummy but it's something just as wonderful! The 'Estate' washer and dryer (haven't heard of that brand? There is a good reason for that!) that Bryan and I purchased for $550 for the pair finally bit the dust. While I was a bit stressed at first toting clothes around the neighborhood in search of a dryer that could finish the job mine had started, all my stress has been relieved having done my first round of laundry in my brand new HE front loading Electrolux washer and dryer! I'm on the Kelly Ripa bandwagon! I guess this is one of those "you know you are getting old if...

you take a picture of your washer and dryer!'"

And for the reason you all actually read this blog... here are some pictures a few weekends back of Addison and Lil Noel having some yummy cupcakes at a UCF game tailgate. As you can tell, they had a great time!

We have some baby Irish milestones as well too... just the other night, Bryan felt baby kick. He just happened to have his hand on my tummy when my little soccer player had one of the biggest kicks to date! Guess bambino was just saying "Hi!" to his/her daddy!

At the Zoo cont'd...

During Storytime... I swear she wasn't trying to hurt him!



Brenden and Addison... how cute are they?

Storytime at the zoo

Today Brenden and Addison took a little trip to the zoo for storytime! Addison loved it but Brenden was ready to go look at the monkeys about half way through! They still had lots of fun checking out the animals. Mommy was bad and forgot her camera but Brenden's mommy pulled through with this video clip of the kids posing for their pictures. :)

I'll post some pictures soon. enjoy!

From the Mouth of Babes....

While I fortunately have no picture that goes along with this story, I just had to share this with everyone...
Bryan had been cooking all night long making some boiled peanuts to have at the UCF Homecoming tailgate this weekend. We all know what boiled peanuts look like, right? Well, Bryan took a peanut out of the pot to taste test it. Addison watched him closely, looked at me and said, "Daddy's eating my poopie." Gotta love kids! Ha!

Happy Halloween

Halloween night we went Trick or Treating with Haylee, Aunt Kimmy, and Nana Jo in downtown Sanford. All the cute little stores on "Main Street" hand out candy. They set up a little kid area with games and bounce houses. There was a little rain but after that cleared up it was a great night! Addison was in the costume contest but didn't win... the judges were paid off. ;) Here are some pictures of her and Haylee.
