90

wanted to give the man of the hour his due spot.

spooktacular

 team synder hosted another fantastic spooktacular this year. super fun.  they upped the ante with a massive trailer complete with jack the reaper, spiderwebs and all things halloweeny.  kids had a great time - superman and miss mermaid included.  jack's yoda for sure won the most hilarious category and baby j-lyn won the cutest pink princess on earth. 

soccer

quick shout out for the completion of the first ever everglades area soccer clinic!! woop woop! these kids know how to fish but they need some practical skills too  - like kicking a ball in a goal:-)

tx

We had THE BEST time in texas a couple of weeks ago for andy's grindiddy's 90th b-day week long shin-dig.  rowe was in heaven, catching fish, chasing deer with homemade bows and arrows, lots of boy cousins, all kinds of mud. chap and her sweet cousin faithy painted toenails, colored, cooked and had such a sweet time together.  there was LOTS of activities which we were super fun - croquet, tree swing building, hot tubbing, putting contest,  sparklers and always a favorite - lots of eating:-) so thankful we were able to be a part of the week and so thankful for the family that grindiddy began!

fav

 

my favorite journal entry of rowe's from sept

love being surprised by how much the kiddos have grown.   skirts a bit short, sweets.

why the journal entry makes so much sense 

love being in the middle of our main road with no problemo

love our wonder woman

and some birdie love, too.

been meaning to write these down. couple of my favorite words:  rowe still calls the 'tv' the 'td.' both say 'smookie,' not spooky.  'nibbles,' not the correct lady parts.  need more coffee to remember the others:-)

lots

 

not much going on here - lots of fishing for rowe, lots of caterpillars for chap, and lots of running around in our new to us wheels for me.   lots of florida love your way
