Crab Happy

So, in September (27-29) Nick and I went to Panama City on a much needed ALONE vacation!
We stayed at a condo right on the beach! It was AWESOME! So, I got a little too crab happy. We were like kids. We went to Walmart and bought a flashlight. And went out that night looking for crabs. Nick tried SO hard to get me to grab one. But with him screaming like he was from them pinching him - there was NO WAY I was going to try it!! haha.

We pass this plane everytime we go down. So we decided to stop and take a look. Nick was interested in it!

It was SO BEAUTIFUL down there!!! We really did have a great time.

Can someone please tell me why i'm SO white? haha

My Beautiful Peacock & Monkey Boy

So as Usual this year, we went to our Church's Fall Festival. Rhegan had tons of fun! She rode the ferris wheel, swing, slide, got her face painted, and ate a hotdog and some good old cottan candy! We were not able to make it to the Pumpkin Patch like usual. Between bouts of COLD weather, runny noses, and fever. I decided it would be best to not go. We went to Nanny Dot's church on Halloween and did some trunk-or-treating. Rhegan and Austin got LOTS of candy!! :) We then left and went to Publix to trick-or-treat. And then we took Rhegan by a SCARY house to trick-or-treat at.

Such sweetness!! :) His first pumpkin encounter!

My two angels!

She wanted a Lion this year!!

What a great Halloween!

Poor Mika...

My sweet little Mika that we adopted in Jacksonville Florida, got attacked by two Labs on Wednesday Oct. 7th, 2009. I will miss her SO very much! She was my little sweetie.

It was just me - her - and Nick in Florida. And she was like a child. I have lost pets before. But this one is different! We had a closeness, from having so much alone time together. It just absolutly sucks and it's just no fair. I hate it!

I MISS YOU MIKKKKAAAA. Oh, I can still hear her meows. And what kills me the most is everytime I open the door, she used to jump on the door meowing. And everytime I would drive up at home, she would be right there running out of the bushes to meet me. And of course we never know when we are going to loose someone/thing, so of course I have regrets of not spending as much quality time with her as I should have. SLOW DOWN and enjoy what really matters in life!!

The night before it happened - I got home, and she jumped up on the hood of the 4-Runner. I petted her under her neck, and let Austin touch her.

Love you Mika!

BIG boy

So my Austin-Poo is exactly one week away from being 8 months old! And I can't believe it. He

cut his first tooth (looking at him it's his top right tooth) on last Friday the 4th! And he is working on his other. So he has been running a low grade fever and has been VERY grumpy. But as you can see from the pictures, he is crawling everywhere - pulling up. And has even started standing up. And he has already bumped his head 3 times on the hardwood floors.

We went to Nanny's park about two weeks ago, and he LOVED the swings. This was his first time. Daddy got him on the tractor - and he thought that was the best thing ever!!!

He is a sweetie!!!!

Love you Austin!!!

I wanna be a Pirate!!

So last night we were sitting on the couch. And Rhegan jumped up next to me and said "Mommy, guess what I want to be when I grow up??!!" And so I said "what do you want to be?" She said "I want to be a pirate! I'm gunna get one of those long things for my hand, and one of those things for my head, AND one of those things for my eye" I said oh ok, is that REALLY what you want to be when you grow up? And she said yes! It was so cute! So I remembered that last Halloween, she had put this on at the Bolen's house. So I thought it would be cute to put on here. I was looking through an old SD card for my camera last night. And I found a video of her. She has gotten SO BIG in a year. It's just insane how much she has grown. I guess with me being pregnant and having the baby ~ her year of being 2 just flew by! And now that she is already 3, i'm trying to slow down and make sure I cherish EVERY bit of it! B/c in 2 years she will be in school, then she will be a big girl! :(

Love you Rhegan!!!

My little girl is 3 now....

So Rhegan's 3rd Birthday was almost two weeks ago! We had her a "Luau" party at home. She had a BLAST. And we served Teryaki chicken sandwiches, and hot dogs for the kids. She had a giant water slide. On Sunday (her actual birthday) we took her to eat Mexican, and they completley suprised her and sang to her. HAHA It was priceless!!! Enjoy the pics!!!

My birthday Princess (she started running a fever, so you can tell in this pic she wasn't feeling so hot) Oh, and excuse the bra in the background.

We even had snow cones!! :) And here is J-Bug , he was the griller - and did an AWESOME job!

It's been that long?

So we went to Panama City on 7/19. We had a blast, even though it was a really short trip!

Below are some pictures of the great time we had. Of course you will notice that Nick isn't in any of the pics. His hand was hurting him, so he stayed at home!!

HAHA, we rode the banana boat, excuse the cottage cheese leg of mine i'm forcing you to look at.

This is what Austin slept in on the beach. So sweet!

My little girl!! She is getting so big!!

Look at them rolls!! Just wanted to share some pictures to show our beach trip! I'm looking forward to the end of September when me and Nick get to go on one ALONE. :) It's way overdue!!
