A Day at the Aquarium

One of the best investments we made was a yearly pass to the aquarium as Trey loves it there and talks for days about how he went to see the fishies.

When I look at pictures like this one I cannot believe how much my baby looks like a little boy

Night Out for Megan and Jimmy

Jimmy's fraternity brother Travis got married at Mote Marine in Sarasota.

Check out that growing baby belly!!

MacDill Air Show

One of the benefits of having an Air Force pilot for a neighbor is that you can launch your boat from the base marina in order to enjoy the air show from the water. We loaded up the kids and headed out into the bay. The view was awesome and it is always nice to be out on the water.

Ava and Trey soaking up the sun and watching the planes fly overhead

The planes were so close it was awesome to watch

Enjoying the beach on base after the air show

Trey, Ava and Brad washing off the beach sand - the three of them have the best time taking baths together - it is so cute to watch!!

Pirate Invasion - Gasparilla 2010

This year for Gasparilla we took Trey to Ballast Point Park where the pirate invade the park before getting on the pirate ship to invade downtown Tampa. It was such an awesome sight to see the hundreds of pirates walking by all dressed up and ready for the day. The pirates were so great with the kids, taking pictures and handing out beads.

Trey loved the beads and just kept adding to his collection

A Visit from the Wagners

We miss our old neighbors, the Wagners, so much and California is just too far away. The holidays brought Ken, Chris and Taylor back to Florida and were able to get together for an afternoon during their travels. It was so wonderful to see them and sad to say goodbye.

It was so much fun to wake up on Christmas morning this year and have Trey be at a stage where he could enjoy the present opening and all of the celebration.

I think this one may have been our biggest yet - I loved it!!

Trey was one lucky boy this year and got three Christmas' - the first at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Santa even made an appearance.

Trey did not really like Santa but eventually sat on his lap.

Doesn't Santa look strikingly similar to Grandpa :o)
