The very aggressive ducks in our new neighborhood

At Children's Gasparilla

Lots of patriotism!

This is us demonstrating how squished we were!

We were at Bayshore in Tampa for 4 hours. Still didn’t get to see the parade though. It started late anyway……But we has a great time hanging out with Heather, Jarron and Bryce and some friends from church.

Anyone left out there?

I haven’t posted in a LONG time and since the only one complaining is my completely devoted grandmother, I don’t think anyone has noticed! But for those occassionally dropper-inners ( I totally made that up!) here is an update.

We have been in complete moving mode since the day after Christmas. We are still moving…..Although we are currently living in our new place.

Which we LOVE….

My new kitchen. LOVE IT!

So, when we are finally settled and done, I will consider taking pictures of my boys again! See ya then!

The Christmas Season

stephn33 — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:22:28 +0000

Isn’t the holiday season nuts? One day I am filled with holiday spirit, the next overwhelmed with the craziness of it all, and then back again!

We took the boys to Disney on Saturday to use the last day of our free 5 day pass. We got there around 1 pm and left around 8 pm. I think there were millions of people there. I really wonder what the attendance was that day. The boys had an AWESOME time and we did a lot. There were a bunch of rides I wanted to take them on, but because of the over- an-hour wait, it wasn’t happening.

Ean really wanted to meet Donald. He didn't care for Mickey. But he loved Donald. There was a great hug after this but I missed it.

Had to get Buzz Lightyears that light up!!

Buzz fight!

The Christmas Castle!

On the Pooh ride! They did great!

I have been really lazy about my blog! But I have taken a bunch of photos. You can see them at our family photo site

http://quinnandean.shutterfly.com/

I like adding photos there because family member can add their photos too. And then anyone can order prints right from our blog. Now I just have to get all the family to join! (its free and 2 seconds of your life!)

We spent Thanksgiving in Mississippi and had a great time. We are now looking forward to the rest of the holidays! God Bless!

At the Aquarium on Veteran's Day

Q looks at the fish while E decides what to look at next

At the Veteran's Day parade. I wore a sweatshirt- it was 80 degrees. ????

This weekend was our 10 yr wedding anniversary. WOW!!! We went to the Florida Gator game up in Gainesville. Chris was thrilled since he is a lifelong Gator fan. We used his uncle’s season tickets and their house, as they were out of town.The inlaws stayed here at home with the boys. We had a great time! This may be my first post ever without photos of the boys!!

Outside Uncle Wimp and Aunt Arlene's house in Gainesville

Outside the Swamp

A real live huge gator on campus. It was eyeing me!

Tailgatin'

The Swamp!

Tim Tebow!

These weren't our seats. We sat in the wrong seats for 30 min. Then I had the nerve to tell the kid next to me HE read his tickets wrong. SO ME!

Outside the Swamp. There was a constant line to get your pic with the Gator.

Out alternate camera, a Nikon Coolpix, battery died after this photo. It took weird photos all day cause it was low.

We had a great time and were happy to get back to our boys!!!

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween. I absolutely love the Holiday Season-100 times more now that we have the boys. They walked up to the houses and said “Trick or Treat!” and lots of thank yous! Ean caught on real quick and started bolting around my mother’s neighborhood. And, after 3 0r 4 houses, Quinn was right behind him! They didn’t want to go home!

Tigger and Pooh!

with cousin Emily

with Daddy

Quinn checked what he got at every house. Weird, cause he doesn't eat candy, so he didn't know what it was!

Juice break! It was SO humid!

Look at that tail!

Checking out the stash!

We have been feelin’ pretty crappy around here for about a week. Fortunately not the Swine Flu. Just fevers and runny noses, and congestion, fun stuff like that. Here are some photos from last week.

picking out a pumpkin to carve

at the hydrofarm down the street from us

The pumpkin before!

everyone is saying "BOO!" to the pumpkin!

The pumpkin after. BOO!

Ean’s first haircut! At 2!!

Waiting to get Ean's first haircut

First haircut at 2!!!

Clippers too?

Looks good! And he did a great job!!!

I didn't tell them to do this- E had a fever and I guess Q felt bad for him...
