Mom's Little Monster....

This is what it says on the t-shirt he is wearing in these pictures... which I find very appropriate some times ;) On this beautiful day in Florida we made yet another visit to the playground in Cocoa Village. Everette was like a monkey running around. He wore out all of us and just kept going! Maybe I should say he was more like a bunny... the energizer bunny! HA!




























RHS Homecoming Game... still in FL

My highschool girlfriend Kelli (Riggs) Melin and her 3 kids (plus one on the way!) drove up from Stuart to visit us for the eveningat my parent's house. Rhett and her son Matthew were born only 2 weeks apart,but had never met. Boy, they were like 2 peas in a pods... such similar personalities. We visited some old memories by going to the Rockledge High School homecoming football game! WOW! It had been a long time since we stepped foot in that stadium, so MUCH fun:) The kids really enjoyed it and I was surprised at how interested Rhett was in watching the game! Tjay(behind the wall, Kelli, Matthew, Everette, Me and Summer



very intently watching the game


Kelli, TJay and Summer. Doesn't Summer look just like her mommy?!



Grammy Lia, Tata, me and Rhett :)

















Finally in FL!!

For some reason these pictures posted backwards... or maybe I am just getting too tired ;) Anway, we had finally made it to FL to visit my parents (after a Loooooooooong eventful plane trip. Rhet didn't want to sleep and ofcoarse DVD players have limited battery life....not good on a 10 hour plane trip!

After catching up on some sleep, Rhett got to open some birthday gifts from grammy and Tata Grassman :) He was in heaven for the next 2 weeks!



I also managed to get his hair cut at one of those 'kids cuts' places. We went through about 4 lollipops and lots of tears, but all I have to say it thank goodness this lady knew what she was doing! As much as he was wiggling around there were several times that I thought he was going to loose an ear!









Stopped for dinner on the way to my parent's house from the airport. Funny how I looked so WORN out after traveling for 16 hours and he is STILL wide awake! Little stinker!!





Chasing the jumping water

Rhett has become VERY familiar with all the fun stuff down at the marketplace where our restaurants are located. Whether it's chasing the jumping water fountains, watching the koi in the ponds, feeding the fish, putting on the charm to get a free cookie from the aunties at Subway or scaling any and all walls, steps and stairways, he always has a mission as soon as we get there!









Hangin with his favorite girlfriend, Alice ;)
