Pinterest post

I think Payton loves Pinterest as much as I do! She keeps giving me ideas for me to post. This craft was the latest idea she wanted me to post. She wanted to make sure that I didn't take credit for her and Britton's hard work. :)

Wise Family and the Three Bears

Last night Tyson was going crazy and barking so loud so I went to the back yard to see what was going on right behind our fence, on the golf course. By time I got Jonathan the bear ran up the tree along with two other bears. This was the 4th bear sighting I've seen in my neighborhood this month!

Visit to the temple

Tonight we decided to take a family trip to our beautiful Orlando Temple. Britton was so excited when we pulled up and saw Moroni on top of the temple.

Gingerbread Decorating FHE

For FHE the kids decorated a gingerbread house and gingerbread man. Britton ate as much as he decorated with!

Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! Good food... Family... Black Fridays only a day a way... Relaxing... What more could you ask for?!? This year we visited Ricky and Konnie and then went to Linda's for a delicious feast. After eating a ton we headed to my moms house to eat a ton more. I love Thanksgiving!

Liar!!

I bought my beagles with the understanding that they were going to be "miniature" or "pocket" beagles... That was a lie! Tyson is huge and is certainly not a miniature or pocket beagle! I still love my crazy fatso!!

Bowling with the Fam

Tonight we took the kids bowling for their first time. They were so excited and really enjoyed doing it! Of course Jonathan won but at least I beat the kids!!:)

What is it with little boys and messes?!?

The bigger the mess the happier Britton is!! Here he was making Alex a Power Ranger picture.

Britton insisted on painting because he said that Alex needed a blue and red Power Ranger picture!

Tennis Classes

Payton and Britton both started a tennis class on Saturday mornings.  I love this class because the kids enjoy it and because their is a cardio tennis class that I am able take during their class!

Little Man

New watch and new hair cut! What a man!

Officer Britton

Today we went to see Falon and her boyfriend Ricky had his police car at Falon's so Britton got to go exploring and see lots of cool cop stuff like guns, bullet proof vest, gas mask and lots and lots of buttons!

Thankful Tree

Tonight for FHE the kids and I worked on our Thankful tree.  The problem with this tree is there are not enough branches to hold all the many things I am grateful for! I love Thanksgiving and the opportunity it gives me to reflect on all that I am thankful for!

A special baptism day

After church today we drove up to Tampa to see Jonathan's cousin Valerie and watch her husband and oldest son get baptised.  She use to be a member of the church many years ago and about 4 months ago she met some neighbor friends who were members and helped Valerie and her family come back to church! I am so happy for her sweet little family!

What Jonathan does on his lunch break...

One of my favorite things about Jonathan having his practice in Mt. Dora is that I get to spend lunch time with him often.  Today we picked Britton and Alex up from school and took them to the park.  Jonathan of course could not resist himself from playing!
