Beach Babe

Last week Everett and I went to Vero Beach, Florida to visit my family. We had a great time and Everett had several "firsts." One, he had his first plane ride. He did great and now is a true jetsetter if you ask me! Second, he saw the ocean for the first time. Everett loves water, but I didn't think he would really pay much attention to the ocean. He proved me wrong as he squealed in delight every time the water touched his feet. Jetsetter and a beach baby....what a boy!

Minnesota Moose

Our friends Mike and Julie gave Everett this stuffed moose from their trip to Minnesota. Today Everett was wearing his moose overalls, so naturally we had to do a photo shoot!

Trick for Treats

Last night we went to the zoo's Halloween party. Everett wore his dragon/monster (can you tell what it is?) costume. Upon entering we saw a sign that stated that the candy that was being passed out at each booth was for children 11 and under. So, naturally we devised a plan to use Everett's size to our advantage in order to cash in on the candy. Every time we came to a "candy booth" we had to hide Everett's face by turning him around so they would assume he was older. Fortunately, our plan worked...... About to start trick or treating .......

A Day At The Farm

Sunday we spent a fun day at Huber farm in Indiana. We went with our friends Brad and Lindsey Weldy and their two young children. It was a beautiful autumn day and very crowded at the farm! We had a southern style lunch in a barn (yes I did say barn) and we ate and ate since we were definitely going to get our money's worth (it was a buffet). We then rode a tractor out to the pumpkin patch and picked out a pumpkin. Little did we know, they only accept cash....which we never carry. Oh well. It was the experience right? Here are some pictures of our fun day.

Monster!

Hello Fall!

My absolute favorite season of the year is Fall!!! Being raised in Florida, I never got to experience the changing of the seasons. Now being in Kentucky...I love it! I love the leaves changing into bright shades of orange and red. I love chili and cornbread. I love the cool breeze the comes at the beginning of the season. And I love my Pumpkin Yankee candles and Pumpkin Spice Starbucks lattes....the best! Here are two pics of Ev in his fall pjs and a picture of Ev wearing a sweater for the first time. More pics to come when we go to the pumpkin patch in a couple of weeks.

Everett's First Friend

Everett and I went to a baby shower last night and Everett made a friend, Silas. I thought this was the cutest picture of the two of them. Silas is about a month and a half younger than Everett and his mom and I were dying to get them together!
