Sorry We Have Kept you Waiting!


I am sooooo sorry it has taken me so long to post!

So, check out Todd Jr on his official birthday!  He had a wonderful Wolverine Cake from our favorite place... Publix.  For those of you who don't have a Publix, well... too bad... move to FL.  It was a busy night, Football practice, etc., but we had a nice little celebration at home.  He is so excited to be 8!



And as if one Birthday party wasn't enough, we had to have another when Grammie and Dada came to visit and since Grant's Birthday is in a couple of days, we had to celebrate his too... with what else, a PUBLIX CAKE!  When the cashier rang me up, he asked if it were 28 or 82, I giggle and told him it was 8 & 2... I thought later I should have just gotten a 10... oh well:)



As I mentioned, Grammie and Dada came to Panama City to visit... we had so much fun, we went to the playground, the beach, Granny's (mmmm.... fried chicken), celebrated birthdays and went Trick or Treating.  This photo was taken on a beautiful day in St. Andrews, by the bay we had so much fun and even saw a live horseshoe crab that a woman had rescued from a fishing net on the beach... cool.  Oh, yeah, and a dead jellyfish her grandaughter was throwing around... yuck!

So, onto Halloween.  Todd Jr. decided he wanted to be Wolverine. 
He has also decided that he wants to be GI Joe next year... I have a feeling that will change before we get to next October... heck, probably before we get to next week.


For at least six months, Grady has been talking about being Indiana Jones...  with a whip. 
Well there you go!  It was so funny because it was breezy out an he kept losing his had just like Harrison Ford in the film.

Finally, here is our little "Merica" (Captain America). 
He was soooooooooo funny. 
He would not let go of my finger for the first several houses, the he realized how things worked and took off on his own.
He would walk up to the house, say "reet" (trick or treat) and "ant ooo" (thank you) when they loaded up his bag. 
I was even offering to hold his bag for him and he would give me a stern look and say "NO!" 
We all had lots of fun and got way too much candy... of course!

Here are Grammie, Dada and the boys at Todd's November 2nd Football game. 
We were all glad to be there to support Todd, but very frustrated that he and many of his other sweet teammates were only put into the game with less than 1 minute left in a game that the Raiders were winning 20-0. 
Not to mention, it was a game that had no bearing on their position in the play offs, which by the way, they made it to the Bay County Championship game again this year, it will be on Saturday November 14.
 I am sure he and many of his teammates will not be put in the game, but we wish the boys who will be playing Good Luck... needless to say, we are looking forward to soccer season, where there is more equal playing time for ALL of the members of the team. 
We will have to make a decision about future football experiences later in the Spring.

We had a great time with Grammie and Dada and are looking forward to seeing them again at Christmas.  We are now gearing up for Thanksgiving.  MeMe, Foe Foe, Beeka Beeka, Uncle David and maybe even Phillip, Suzi and Patrick will come to join us for the day...we are so excited!

And I will leave you with this amazing photo of Robin...
Now you may ask, what is so speical about this photo? 
Isn't it just a picture of your hairless Golden Retriever?
Yes, but what is amazing is that she is in the kitchen, she has never been in the kitchen, but she was so curious about Bogie and Frankie (Grammie and Dada's cats) that she ventured it. 
Her problem is that since she had her surgery to fix her achilles, she rarely ventures even onto the tile... and she has never been upstairs in our house. 

Again, sorry it took so long to post... I promise I will try to be more timely... have a Great Day!
