Fall is my favorite time of year. So many fun things to do with the kids. Cruz really loved going to the pumpkin patch this year. And they all loved Trick or Treating...
Halloween Parade!
Zoey and Cruz wore 2 costumes this year-one at Zoey's school parade and the other that night.
Cameron continues to excel at Florida Gulf Coast University. He recently started working part time at Publix in the produce dept. He really likes it so far. He's always enjoyed cooking-since he was little. Now he's taking his love of cooking and really getting into the nutrition side of things. I love watching him evolve into the man that he is.
This boy. He is so awesome. Here he is with his Citizenship award. He continues to do really well at soccer-he plays on the U-8 team and on the Elite team. He aces everything at school. So proud of this guy. He's starting to hone his emotions better. He is so loving and so compassionate (the upside to being sensitive!). He has really shown his leadership skills in the last few months. You know those mom feelings…when you swell with pride and your heart breaks a little bc your baby is growing up? Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Then there's my sassy cat. And ooh-wee! Do I mean sassy!! She is proving herself to be the most strong willed of them all. She loves dressing up but is extremely particular in what she will choose to wear. I have never seen so much attitude from such a little girl. She is wise (and manipulative) beyond her years. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm fearful of what her teen years will be like. She is doing well in school and can't wait to go to kindergarten at her brother's school next year. She has definitely gotten a lot closer to Cruz. Caleb is still the preferred BFF but Cruz has proven a fantastic sidekick.
Byron got inducted into his high school's hall of fame for his soccer and football accomplishments. It was such a neat honor to be a part of. Made me so proud and loved that Cameron was able to join us for the event.
Look who lost his first tooth? He was so excited!
Caleb is the only kid I know who makes his own signs for his game. :)
Ah-Christmas time. Can I just freeze time? Look at these faces?! I love it all-the crafts, the decorating, the concerts at school.
Santa came to a Christmas party we were at and holy moly, it was magical! The look of awe in my kid's faces was a sight to behold. I didn't feel the need to take them to the mall for the standard pic bc they truly believed they had already seen the big guy.
This was Tanner's first Christmas! It was so much fun. How handsome is he?!
And my beauty was chosen to play the part of Mary in her school play. (This is the ONLY time she smiled!) She did great!
Christmas Eve was at our house. I love having it at our house.
Over Christmas break we got to take all of the kids to the Florida Aquarium. So fun having all of our kids together.
January had to birthday's for us-Cameron turned 20 and Tanner turned 1.
Here are a few random pics. Next time I won't take so long putting things together. :P
