Thanksgiving

 We spent Thanksgiving at David and Leslie's house.  Grandma Stott and Papa were also in attendance.  This is the rowdy crew, minus Addison who was taking a nap.

 The crazy cousins, Adam and Mason seem like they are having a great time.

 

 Adam showing off his - elbows?  Really I have no idea what he is doing but he looked pretty cute.

 Eliza showing the proper way to eat pie, only the whip cream.

 Grace posing by the oak tree.

 Merry taking off her boots because they were way too warm for a Floridian Thanksgiving.

Jacob playing soccer with his cousins.

A great time was had by all.

Family Pictures

 

Our annual torture session, family photos.

Do you know how hard it is to get Adam to look at the camera. 

We barely fit into this window.

Merry had a large road rash on her knee to lend some authenticity to the picture.

Typical.

More of the kiddios.

Happy Hallloween

If are wondering where the last kid is, he is at soccer practice and didn't make the Halloween pictures.

He did dress up by wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a giant mustache.

 Merry loves Greek mythology and was a goddess this year.

A very pretty one too.

Grace was a skeleton again only this year we found the pink skeleton in her size which she was very excited about.

I think she just likes her face painted as a sugar skull.

Adam was Captain America, which is my favorite super hero.

Looking fierce Adam.

Eliza was determined to be a mermaid for Halloween.

So we sprayed her hair pink and did her makeup for a mermaid, but when we went find the mermaid costume it had magically vanish so instead she ended up being a slightly deranged looking princess.

The full wicked step sister effect.

Fishing at Crystal River

Jacob, Papa and I took a trip to Crystal River to fish in King's Bay.

 I was the boat driver so I didn't make the picture.  After a minor incident driving into the shore of exiting the canal we safely navigated around the bay.  

In my defense it was my first time driving a john boat, next time I will stick to a pontoon.

The only thing biting were mangrove snappers and catfish.  They were plentiful so the fishing was fun.  Jacob has an aversion to slimy things so this is an impressive picture.

Carving the pumpkins

 Adam drawing the face.

 Disgustamus.

 Merry the pumpkin master.

Eliza digging out the guts.

Unfortunately the picture taking stopped prior to the finished products.

Taunie, Brent, Bryce and Tanner were here at sometime too.

We went to ride the Halloween train with them and visited the beach.

 

Fall Ball, Miss Eliza and Student of the quarter

 Back to the baseball grind, at least the sunsets are beautiful.

 Handsome baseball player.

 Put me in coach, I'm ready play, today.

 Eliza in her ferocious kitty outfit.

 This is what really happens at baseball.

 Filling up the muddy puddle.

 Good thing she wore her boots.

 Stomp, stomp

 Making leaf boats.

Grace as student of the quarter.

Lazy Saturday morning

This is what life looks like on Saturday morning, only the ones we don't have soccer games.

 Adam in his typical gaming apparel.  Unrestrictive is a must.

Grace ready for the challenge.

Merry semi awake.

Or not.

Eliza tucked Jacob in, snug as a bug in a rug.

Brian is on breakfast duty.

Eliza as her sassy self.
