Florida.... Kenzie..Pool..Grandma..Mashed Potatoes!

Wow a lot to blog about but not a lot of time, so the highlights are...

We pulled in yesterday afternoon. Had a great time. Kenzie fell in the pool! Wow how interesting. She is fine! Nothing to worry about there.

This morning we hung out. Not much to report there.

This afternoon, Grammy (Yaya) took Kenzie and Shelby in the convertable:

to see Santa:
They waited for 1 hour in line. And then:
Loved the pictures! Great Job Grammy!

I was totally shocked to see that Kenzie went up and took a picture with him.

Grandma, we keep telling you that you're not supposed to drink from jugs....
But for some reason you can't seem to listen to us!


Tonight for dinner, we had samon wellington with mashed potatoes. As we were all finishing up, Riley wanted a food fight and Grandma was the target! Mashed potatoes went flying! It was so funny and here was the reaction:
WE ALL LOVE YOU GRANDMA TIGGER! THANKS FOR ALLOWING US TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT TIME WITH YOU!


Hope all is well with everyone back home. Can't wait to upload Christmas pics! Here are a few random pics as well. "Uncle Derrick, I love you!" for those of you who don't know, Maddie hasn't really wanted to have anything to do with anyone but me when we go visiting family. This is a major milestone for her. INTRODUCING: Rockstars Kenzie and Shelby Cox!All my teeth!Great BIG Beautiful Blue eyes!

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
