Small Town Friday Night

We may live in a small town but this small town sure knows how to throw an event! Since Emma and Jake spent the weekend with us, we decided to head out to the concert at Park Square. The atmosphere is always so much fun and the band didn't disappoint!

Emma and Jake enjoyed the fountains while we enjoyed the music! 

 These two were joined at the hip and spent hours beating each other on Angry Birds!

While making breakfast, I looked into the living room and saw Lexi watching morning cartoons while snuggling with the kids. Lexi sure loves that we have a big family with LOTS of youngins : )

Ditching the Holiday Pounds

You know you live in the "country" when you come across a mama and her four baby pigs on a morning run!

Splish, Splash

Tuesday I took Makayla, Emma and Jake to the Aquatic Club.

We got there around noon and stayed for the majority of the day.

Once we left we HAD to grab a sweet treat so we went to the yogurt shop in Fishhawk.

Boy, were we exhausted once we got home!

3 Small Ones

Another breezy night spent with my best friend and a few fishies : )

I am still IN LOVE!

The First of Halloween

Saturday Fishawk hosted its annual Pumpkin Festival. I went early in the evening and met up with the Chisholms. I had such a good time that I talked Forrest into going back. We enjoyed listening to The Sweet Spot and having a little relaxation. I can't wait for next year!

Goodness, I love my job : )

Me & Forrest in Front of the Lit Pumpkins

The Two F's

Our weekend was filled with our favorite things...you guessed it fishing and family! Mom, Dad, Bethany and Mitchel came down for a short visit. While here we caught up on all the latest (this is what Forrest refers to as gossiping), mourned for our dear team and attempted to catch some fish.

I love how this picture captures both Forrest and Dad in their element

One of my forever favorites of Dad

Of course we had to have a family photo to document the trip

Come back soon, por favor?

Gator Bait!?!?

We went fishing earlier in the week in order to get ready for the beach trip this weekend! (Actually I wanted to practice my skills and Forrest just wanted to fish.) We are so, so ready to go!



While we were there a GATOR kept following us. Wherever we put our line in the gator went. It had to be about six feet from what we could tell. The gator finally submerged and went to the other side of the pond. Thank goodness!

I caught a baby blue gill!

My husband saying "He's going to eat me!" haha : )

My Day with Jake

Saturday Jake and I spent the day palling around town. We went to the Splash Pool with Emma, Layne, Audrey, Nolan, Kelly and Ninny. And then...

We took a drive with Lexi. And then...

Forrest got home and we went on the Boardwalk. And then...

We all went swimming. And then...




We snuggled into bed and fell fast asleep!

A Bee Party

Bethany's 17th Birthday Party

Bethany chose Bees as the theme for her party. We had a bee cake, sunflower cupcakes, lemonade, sweet tea, burchetta and a few other snacks. I had a blast organizing the party. It was on the top of my mind the majority of the week.

We chatted, played Apples to Apples and most importantly go to see BABY KINLEY!

After the party, and a rain delay, the girls went to the Aquatic Club. They had a blast going down the slide. I'm pretty sure Daddy would have gone in too if he had his swimsuit.

Happy Birthday, Beff! We can't wait for the next one!

Summertime Fishing

One of the best things about living in Fishhawk is all the ponds around us! Along with the water comes fishing on a cool summer day...
