Florida

We just spent the last two weeks in Ocala, FL. We had a great time visiting and so glad that Anthony and I decided to join Tony. Tony had to go for work and we went for FUN and SUN!! Not sure you can see just how dirty Anthony's legs and feet are but playing on the farm is a hard and dirty job and he sure did have a great time doing it!! Here is Freddie and Anthony eating peanuts together.

Tony and Anthony swimming in Freddie and Dori's pool

Dori and I took Anthony to the Butterfly Museum in Gainesville, FL. It was so pretty...butterflies were flying all around us. Anthony didn't know what to think about them..he liked looking at them and the fish but didn't want them to get too close.

Dori, Anthony and I went to the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park. We got to ride on a boat to the park and saw lots of different animals. They had an underwater viewing area that Anthony did not want to go look at until we got him down the stairs and he saw all the fish then he didn't want to leave that area.

Here we are at our friend Emily's house playing with her twin boys.

We decide to break the 10 hour drive up on the way back so we stopped and spent Saturday and Saturday night at Panama City Beach.

Look at this handsome stud on the beach!

Building sandcastles...

Having a great time running on the beach

Dancing around the pool and Hot Tube

Look at that daddy! There was a big waterfall at the pool.

WEE...

Having too much fun on the beach

Ready..set...go...

After a hard day playing on the beach and by the pool we went next door at ate at Hooters!!

Sunday we spent a few more hours between the beach and pool before we had to pack it up and head home.

We had a great trip but we are all so glad to be back home. Anthony wanted to play with his toys and sleep in his own bed.

Thanks Freddie and Dori for letting us stay on your farm. We really enjoyed getting to visit with all of our friends in Ocala. Miss all of you and hope to see you again soon.

Pappy and KK Visit's

Grandma KK and Pappy came to visit last weekend we had a great time. It rained all weekend but still had a great visit. Here they are watching a movie in Anthony's room.

Coloring on the floor

We LOVE Mickey Mouse!!

One day last week Anthony looked up at this shelf I have on the wall in his bedroom and said he wanted his horse - well there are several so we went through them and found the one he wanted. I asked him what the horses name was and he said Carlos. I have no idea where that came from but he says it so clear - Carlos! Here they are watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Anthony and Claire sharing a snack from the goodies KK and Pappy brought.

Our Neighbors

Here are a couple of videos of Anthony and our Neighbors riding on all the John Deere Toys!

First Kiss

Claire's birthday was last weekend and Anthony and Claire were sitting side by side eating cheese puffs and cake. I told Anthony to lean over and give Claire a kiss on the cheek and tell her Happy Birthday - this is the picture that resulted from that! So glad Claire's grandmother was there with the camera ready!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Clarie!

Anthony and Claire

Driving the Gator again.

We are so blessed that Mary Kathryn and Claire stumbled onto our house about a month ago because Anthony loves Claire and is always asking for her or wanting to know what Claire is doing and can she come over. When Anthony says Claire is really sounds like Care - "Where's Care" I really have to watch him because at the same time that he wants to love on her and play he pushes her down or something else - so rough! Claire takes it so well and most of the time keeps on playing.

Love this video - just taking a break and drinking apple juice! They are so cute together.

Valentines Day

Here is Anthony and his new friend Claire on Valentines Day. Too cute - Anthony was riding her around on his new Gator.

Anthony got this new puppy dog from his Gamma KK and Pappy

This was the weekend of Valentines - still had snow on the ground and we went to the post office and pick up our valentines present from KK and Pappy and had to carry it in the Vet School with his book (which was really the card but keeps calling it his new book).

If you listen you can hear him talking about how Pappy gave him the puppy and KK gave him the book. Got to love it - I'm sure my Dad didn't even see the puppy until she was putting it in the mail. But Anthony is sure that his Pappy bought that for him.

Let it Snow!

Anthony loved the snow...again. We got more this time than last so he was rolling in it

Running and falling down

Jumping

Riding the 4-wheeler with Tony

This is Anthony's friend Belle she is 4 and she has a tractor like Anthony's so they rode around in the snow - too cute.

Belle getting Tony with a snowball.

Well Anthony would not stay out of the snow and it kept building up on his tires so we would have to stop him and try to knock some off.

I think we need a little push
