Firestation

We went to a Firestation in Pensacola yesterday with our playgroup. Bryce loved it!

Halloween and MSU football

The pictures are a little out of order, but on the 25th we took Bryce to his first MSU football game. He had a lot of fun! He rang his cowbell the whole time :) That weekend we stayed in West Point with Anthony's parents then spent the week in Olive Branch with my parents and had a great time both places! Thursday we left for the lakehouse which meant Bryce got to trick-or-treat with his cousins, Borden and Jack. He loved it! We are headed back to West Point and Memphis again this weekend through all next week. Anthony is going with us for a week long VACATION!!! I'm so excited!

Fun week

We had a wonderful weekend. It is always nice to travel and be on the go, but it is also great to get to stay at home for the weekend. The weather was perfect. We worked in the yard, went to the farm (previous post), and carved our first pumpkin! Aren't they so cute?


We also 'built' a space shuttle in our playroom. Bryce's latest obsession is space, space shuttles, astronaunts and planets. He loves his new shuttle!
Bryce had wild wild hair this morning when he woke up!
We had our playgroup's halloween party today. Bryce is a motorcycle dude for halloween this year. Doesn't he look tough? Someone made the comment that the sweetest, most innocent kid in the playgroup was the roughest and toughest for halloween!

We are headed to West Point and Starkville for the weekend, then Memphis (Olive Branch) for the week. We can't wait!!!

Our trip to the farm

Our playgroup went to a place in Daphne, AL called Brantley Farms today. It is a small petting zoo type farm. I was hoping for pumpkins, but they didn't have any! I did discover that Satsumas are wonderful (that is their main crop).

Here is Bryce playing on an old toy tractor. Anthony said he used to have one of these!

Bryce and Uncle Sauce looking at pictures of space and rockets My parents are in Gulf Shores for two weeks and we are having a great time going back and forth visiting with them and playing at the condo. The weather was perfect the first weekend and should be nice again by the time we go back over there after school on Thursday. Bryce stayed with them while Anthony and I went to Laurel, MS for Whitney's wedding. It was a nice little vacation for us and it was great to see Whitney and some other Tri Deltas there! They took Bryce to a bluegrass festival on Saturday and he had a blast. Bryce is still enjoying school and things are going great here in Pensacola!

September update

We are still here! Last weekend Kiki and Papaw Duke came and spent 3 nights with us!!! We had a great time. Bryce showed them all around the Naval Aviation Museum on Saturday. We had a wonderful meal at our favorite restaurant Sat. night. Sunday we hit the beach and watched the surfers. Who knew there were so many surfers in Pensacola! It was fun to watch them. Then we went to a fish market here called Joe Patti's. It was amazing. We got some snapper, amberjack and catfish and chef Anthony grilled them to perfection. We will definitely be going back there. Monday-Wednesday we were all sick with a yucky cold but are feeling better now. We are going to the Pensacola Seafood Festival this afternoon. Maybe I'll remember to take my camera. I haven't gotten many pictures lately. Tomorrow I'm going to Orange Beach, AL with some great friends from my playgroup. We will veg by the beach all day, then hit the town for a nice dinner. I can't wait! Bryce did great at school yesterday. It was the first day he said good-bye without crying! Here are a couple of pics I took when we were playing outside before we left.

Hiking

Last weekend Bryce decided he wanted to go on a hike. So we gathered our back packs and water bottles and hit the trails! We went to a nature trail on the intracoastal waterway side of Johnson's Beach in Perdido. It was nice, but HOT! Next time we will go to a more shaded trail in one of the state parks around here.

He is enjoying school more and more. He still gets upset when I drop him off, but through his tears he tells me good-bye and that he will see me later. So sweet! He gets great reports from his teachers each day.

I don't know that I've mentioned this before on here, my sister is pregnant! She and her husband will welcome a little girl in December and we can't wait to meet her! Bryce talks about baby Winnie all the time. I also have 2 cousins and a best friend expecting and two cousins getting married. Next year will be a busy time for us!
