Jake's 1st Birthday!

Jake turned 1 on October 13th, but we waited to have his party until Nathan came home.

Oh, Happy Day!

Nate came home on November 25th after a 6 month deployment. We are very happy to have him home. It sure is nice to have a complete family again!

Addison was one happy little girl. Jake on the other hand was too tired to do much of anything.

She loves her daddy!

I love this picture. Addison would not let go of Nate's hand or let him out of her sight as we walked through the airport!

Long awaited snuggle time with daddy.

Playing at the park.

Poor Jake! He locked himself in the playroom, and cried hysterically when he realized he was trapped!

Our little boy is a complete garbage gut! He was being extremely quiet one day, and when I went to check on him, I found him rummaging through Addison's Halloween candy.

Jake had a great time while Addison pulled him around on his train.

Addison had Cowboy Day at her preschool.

FishHawk Pumpkin Festival

Our neighborhood had a Pumpkin Festival in October. There were alot of activities for the kids. Addison, of course, had a great time!

Getting ready to carve her pumpkin.

She loves Scooby-Doo, so she named her pumpkin Shaggy.

Fast asleep on Nana's shoulder :)

The kids had a great time with Great Grandma Weber

Addison and Jake had their pictures taken. Jake also had some 1 year pics taken, but they didn't turn out so well.

Halloween 2011

Here are a few pictures of the kids in their Halloween costumes and their friends.

A Visit from Nana and Grandma Weber

We have been busy over the last week and a half. My mom and Grandma came to visit on October 5th. We have been to Disney, the movies, aquarium, the beach, and have taken some time to rest and visit with eachother.

Jake and Grandma have become good buddies. She said she is going to leave her clothes here and pack Jake in her suitcase instead. :)

Anna Maria Island

It was a beautiful day for the beach. We took Grandma to Anna Maria Island. When we asked Grandma if she had fun, she said, "Double fun!" It was great to see her have such a wonderful time.

This was Jake's second time at the beach. He really enjoyed it, too! Of course, he ate a few handfulls of sand and tried to chew on some seashells, but he quickly learned that neither tasted very good!

Jake loved crawling in the water.

Such a big boy!

Not sure what was up with my hair..must have been the wind..haha.

Nothing has changed with Addison, she still is a freak for the beach! :)

Eating lunch at the restaurant on the beach.

Addison and Grandma loved walking on the beach together.
