Fall Fun

We have had a fun fall and Halloween! A lot has gone on. Jason had to go on a business trip in Erie PA for 2 weeks. That is the longest that he has been away from home. We missed him, but we all got through it. While he was gone we went to the pumpkin patch,

and celebrated Halloween.This year we did a Karate Kid theme. Daniel and Johnny. Had a great time with cousins and friends. 

Brighton went to his 1st Panther's game with Daddy and Poppi.

Baylor went to  a park party with friends.

Brighton's school honered vets again this year at the annual Veteran's Day breakfast which Abuelo attended.

We also went on a fall trip to Beech Mountain. Did some sight seeing and gem mining. Oh and lots of good eating !! Such fun! 

Now we are headed fast and furious into the holiday season. I am kind of freaking out because all of my weekends between now and Christmas are full. Fun stuff, but this leaves no time for shop shop. I am going to be doing more online shopping than ever this year and hope for the best!! 

11 Year Anniversary Celebrations

Jason and I took our last beach trip of the summer last weekend. It was our annual anniversary getaway. This year we went to Hilton Head Island. We had beautiful weather.

 Hilton Head is such a nice island and had beautiful layers of sand dunes and marsh in between the beach and our resort. We had many good meals and a great time reconnecting with eachother and having some peace and quiet! Thanks to the grandparents!

 Happy Year 11 Jason. I love you!!
Now that beach time is finally over, I shall start embracing fall!

Okay, so now that I have finally gotten off of the boat for the summer, let me catch up with this blog! A few things have happened. 

My grandmother who is 90 years old was in a terrible car accident, hospitalized with various broken bones. Back, and ribs. She shocked everyone by being strong and surviving! She is now in physical therapy in an assited living therapy home. My dad and Aunt Linda have been seeing to all of her care! Prayers were answered!

Brighton started 1st grade! His teacher is named Mrs. Crowe and so far we all love her! He is still getting up early and loving school!

Baylor turned 4! I cannot believe it but my baby is 4. My friend Kelly who happens to be Baylor's best friend John Chace's mom invited us to go to the beach since she had a work conference later that week. What a FABULOUS 5 days! The boys had a blast as did the girls! So much fun. We had beach time, water slides, cake, balloons, bumper cars and games!! It was a great time. 

Now baylor is back in preschool, so everyone is returning to a schedule. I am a little ready for Fall and I could not picture myself saying that a month ago!

Charleston

The 4 of us went down to Charleston to see the 5 Johnson's last weekend, Shayna, David, Remley, Rhett and Vera. We all had such a great time! Soccer games, lunch, boating, beaching, aquarium, pool, dinners and play time at the house!! The kids got along great! It was a really fun trip and much needed getaway!! Cannot wait to get the kids together again since they got along so well.

  

Not a whole lot has been going on with us. Work during the week and lake play days on the weekends! Summer is coming to an end sadly. Brighton starts 1st grade on Monday.  We have really not been up to much. And I Love It.

Moving right along with the summer we go. We have been seeing friends and boating on the weekends. Brighton just finished a week of soccer camp. He had a ball!! 

It is going by so quickly! This is one of the hottest summers EVER! Baylor has finally decided to be potty trained (he used to hold this power over our heads just because he could). He is so funny and clever. Has us all laughing every day!!
