Vacation

We just got home last night from a great vacation. We spent two days at Universal Studios in Orlando and then headed up to Gainesville for a football game in the swamp. Universal Studios was not crowded at all. There were no lines for anything! We got to go on all the rides several times. Brett must have ridden The Hulk and Dueling Dragons at least ten times each. Addison did great! She put in long hours at the park and never got fussy. She really likes to be outside. The football game was fun but Joe's team lost by one point. Addison and I didn't sit in the stands b/c it was so hot. We went in the club area inside the stadium and watched the game on a television in an air conditioned room. I've included some pictures from our trip. I hope you enjoy!

Update

This Saturday was the opening day for football. Brett's team played two 15 min. games against different teams and won both. The first real game will be next Saturday against Elberta. Addison and I were running late and forgot the camera. I will bring it next weekend. On Sunday we went to Dad's house to see my step-brother. He is in the Marines and will be leaving to go to Japan for two years. He is in town until Thursday. I've added some new pictures. The first one is a picture of Addison. She fell asleep playing in her bouncy seat while we were getting ready to go to Dad's house. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pictures were taken while we were at Dad's house. The last picture is an urn that dad has made. I am helping him put together a portfolio of his woodworking. He will be doing a craft show in November. His pieces are beautiful! I hope everyone is doing great. I will post again next week.

Update

Brad Michael's graduation party was a success! I didn't get to take any pictures b/c the weather was horrible and we were busy moving the party indoors which made our house was very crowded. Things are going great! Brett is doing well in school and is having a blast playing football. Addison's personality is starting to shine. She laughs all the time. She is also getting kind of bossy! Joe is doing great. He had a get together at our house last weekend to kick off the start of college football. Fall is his favorite time of year. Hunting season will also be here before he knows it! I hope everyone is doing good. I've included a few pictures. We put Brett to work power washing the driveway. I also posted one of Brett and Addison asleep on the couch after school one day. I also have a picture of Addison and John taken during Joe's football get together last weekend. Enjoy!
