Everglades Airboat Ride

One afternoon we went to the Everglades and took the airboat ride out into the swamp. We saw 2 very large iguana, a raccoon and lots of species of birds. But what we really wanted to see was an alligator! And we did!



Up close and personal! It swam right around our boat- we could've reached out and touched him if we wanted to!

...more fun in Florida

We had one rainy day while we were there, so we went to the museum, which was very hands-on for the kids! The boys got to touch a few things they had never touched- like a snake!


The beach had a good playground which we all enjoyed! Our boys love to swing!


Bryce and Dylan on the tire swing.


Feeding the seagulls is always a favorite!


The hotel had a climbing rope out on the beach. This morning had a chilly wind, so a jacket felt great to Dave & I. Of course, the boys had no idea it was cool!

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

After a full day at the beach, we are off to eat our Thanksgiving dinner. We had reservations at a seafood restaurant on the water. They made a really good turkey feast, even though seafood was their specialty! Bryce loves pumpkin pipe, so he was happy to see that as one of the dessert choices!

Happy Birthday to my Hubby!

Dave celebrated his 41st birthday on the 19th of November. (Due to 'technical difficulties' I wasn't able to post his birthday that day) Anyway, happy birthday to my wonderful hubby! I'm so glad you are the Daddy to my 3 precious boys! You're the best!!

Soccer Ends

This soccer season has come to an end. The boys had so much fun playing with their buddies again.

Bryce has had Coach Phil Antunes since he started at 4 years old.


Dylan with Coach Ben Navarro, which he's had for the past 3 seasons.

Happy Birthday, Dad!!

Happy Birthday today to my wonderful Daddy! You are the best Daddy for 3 girls and an awesome Papa for 3 little boys!! I hope you have a special day!


This is one of my favorite pictures of Dad with my boys!

Fun with Kevin & Matt

The boys had a fun time with the workers this week. They really enjoyed it when Matt went fishing! They loved hanging out at the pond with him- especially when he pulled in this 6 pound (a little over!) catfish! We had a fish fry the next night along with some other fish we have had in the freezer waiting to be eaten!
