Here a quack, there a quack.

Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day. We thought about going to the beach in our 80 degree weather, by the time I got home from my fun craft day, we thought why not drive around to the many lakes here and feed the ducks.

This was our first experience taking Eamon and it was so fun. He was so cute, as we would hand him the bread and he would hurry and eat it, instead of throw it in for the ducks.

I also couldn't pass up mentioning that Brandon will be starting his job with Charles Schwab on Nov. 30, I am so happy for him and his hard work. Yea for Jobs!

What a BOO-tiful Week.

This week was the celebration of Eamon turning one. The week was filled with lots of fun. We first started off on Monday, his birthday, at the Animal Kingdom. We spent time at Dino-land where we rode on dinosaurs, saw the Finding Nemo show, and then we were off to the petting zoo to see some animals.

Then on Friday, we had a little Halloween Birthday Bash and invited children and moms from the ward. It was so fun seeing all of the kids dressed up and making cute halloween treats. Eamon loved having friends over, even if he didn't know what was going on. I am excited that there are so many fun moms and children in the ward to get to know.

The weather was a scorching 90 degrees on Saturday so Brandon and I couldn't pass that up. We packed our little car up with his surf board and headed to the beach to soak up the sun. (Eamon soaked up the sand). It was a fun little outing and so fun to see how happy Eamon was rolling in the sand and in the water.

Wekiva Weekend!

Last week the weather was spectacular and we decided to soak it up and go to the state park close to our house, called Wekiva.

Wekiva has fun hiking and biking trails that you can enjoy, but we decided to go on the awesome yet scary alligator infested river and rent canoes.

I was pretty freaked out as most can imagine, I think I even told Brandon one time that we needed to make a will just in case the gators were out to get me. I kept thinking of Peter Pan and Captain Hook, the tick tock repeating in my head often.

Well to make the story short, alligators we did see. I think I ducked in the canoe for the most part. But I can say, I did see their beady little eyes staring at me, thinking I might be quite a delicious meal.

Not only did we see gators, but turtles, fish and sea otters. It was quite the adventure and just might be up for it again.

Happy Birthday to Eamon!

I can't believe that a year has already gone by since Eamon Jai joined us in this world. He is one of a kind and we love him so.

I still need to download the pictures from today, but wanted to post a picture when he first made his entry into this scary, beautiful, crazy, exciting, fast paced world!

Nap time, oh nap time!

The differences of grandpa and grandma nap time. My mom thought I will just lay down with Eamon and help him get to sleep, little did she know that he would help her get to sleep!

My two favorite foods!

I really love feeding myself. Pears are one of my favorites, except for recently my mom has introduced me to licorice and I sure do love it.

I love getting so messy and dirty that every feeding I have to take a bath.

bytheway friends I sure do miss you, please come and visit

Love, Eamon
