Let's try to catch up....

Ok, For all of you out there who were worried about us 'cause I haven't posted an entry in a while, this update is for you.

WE WERE ON VACATION IN PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA!!

Yes, that is right. We were living life in sunny Florida. It was such a great trip. We were able to stay with Jake's Aunt Debbie & Uncle Fred. (a special "thanks" to you!) They have a house that sits on a waterway that heads out to the ocean. Jake would set his alarm at night so he could wake up extra early to go out fishing on the dock for some cool salt water fish. He was having the time of his life.
The first weekend we were in Florida, we spent it in Gainsville,- home of the Florida Gators! We all went to our first "Gators Tailgating" party at the University of Florida. There is quite a following of fans in that city. I think the tailgating parties surrounded the University about 4 blocks in each direction. Jake went on to watch the game in the stadium. A dream come true for him. Florida played South Carolina and won, 56-6. GO GATORS!!

The rest of our week was filled with all sorts of family fun. Alot of Jakes family lives down there so we got to spend time with Kanyon's Great Grandma, and Jake's aunts, uncles, sisters, cousins... the whole crew. We had fun shopping, eating sushi, and getting splashed at the beach. Jake's uncle took us out in his boat and we got to see beautiful mansions on the coast. It was seriously hard to think about having that much money...and most of them probably had a $20 million yacht to go with it. It was crazy to see. Jake & I spent one day in Ft. Lauderdale walking up & down the A1A. A1A is a "beachfront avenue" (yes, just like the Vanilla Ice song..lol). On one side there is a beach and the ocean, and the other side is full of shops and restaurants. We ate lunch at a place called The Rock Bar. I think we were served the biggest drinks ever at this place. The food wasn't so bad either. Jake also got to go scuba diving for the first time. He thought it was awesome. He found a starfish and brought it home as a souvenir. We had an awesome trip and would like to thank everyone in Florida for making it that way for us. We can't wait to come back.

Halloween

We had a great first Halloween for Kanyon this year. We dressed her up as a fish and Jake as a fisherman. It was so perfect. Jake used a fishing pole to "trick or treat" with. People loved it. We also had a fun Halloween party here Saturday night with a bunch of friends. Thanks to those who showed up and made this a memorable Halloween for our family.

New York

New York was a great trip. I took Kanyon there for the first time. She traveled really well, barely made a peep at all on the planes. We were there for 2 weeks and the weather was perfect-with the exception of a couple rainy days. We were able to do everything we wanted to. We visited lots of family and friends, relaxed, played the NY lotto, ate NY style pizza, had REAL chicken wings, ate the best fish fry, went to a cider mill, took a hay ride, and had fun tromping around in the mud through a corn maze. The best thing of all is that I brought home a dozen half moon cookies! YUM! Sorry, but they are all gone now and I can't share, but they were really good. (Except for yours Charolette)

Thanks for coming to the Spa Party!

Thank you to all who came to the spa party. It was so relaxing and my feet, hands, eyes, & lips feel so much better. To all of you who couldn't make it, no worries. I will be doing one more party before Christmas. These products make great gifts. I'll let you all know the date for the next one soon.
