You might notice there is a new look to our blog! With the cold weather starting to creep in, I wanted to have something a bit more uplfting. Not that I don't love fall weather, but I have reached a point where I pretty much detest winter (well, January and February really) because I feel like we spend the entire season sick, which means we spend a lot of time in the house trying to recuperate! Hopefully this winter won't be too bad though!
We took a trip to FL the first week in October with my whole family, which was really nice. Kelly and Louis have a beautiful new house which can accomodate all of us. And a pool, so of course the boys were in heaven. :)  Here are some pictures from our trip...





We brought Grady's bike with us, so he had a great time riding it! Kelly and Louis have a paved driveway, so he got to get a lot of practice in (a treat for him since we just have gravel). :)



As always, everyone had fun at the beach!





Louis was a good sport and let the kids (well, and me!) bury him in the sand! 


We all went bowling one day, and Grady absolutely loved it! He got so excited every time (even when he didn't knock over one pin!).




And it isn't called vacation without some popsicles!


Despite the fact that we could not find one single pumpkin patch in Vero Beach (which I found shocking!), we still got pumpkins for the kids and had fun decorating them. Kelly got special decorating kits for Grady and Landon - Mr. Potato Head pieces! For those of you who don't know, Grady and Landon are kind of obsessed with Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.  Grady decided to start off painting his pumpkin a vibrant.... black. :) 



Hannah is giving her pumpkin a hug! Poor Hannah had a fever the last day we were there courtesy of our boys...once again we managed to bring some nice germs down from NC.


The finished products!
