Football Season..War Eagle and Go Blue Streaks!

This IS the most "wonderful time........of...the...YEAR!!" Autumn....football on Friday nights and all day Saturdays, pumpkins and scarecrows, the anticipation of Thanksgiving and Christmas, cool weather (a Floridian can dream!!!:)and lots of family birthdays!! I was reviewing my pics in my camera and thought I'd share this glorious football night with you...especially my UF friends! What a night...the "swamp"....Cadie and I on one side of the stadium, Robert and Mason on the other(that's why there are mostly pics of Cadie and me:)....people cheering "go gators" all around, UNTIL THE END! The Auburn Tigers were victorious in THE Swamp....what a night!! War Eagle!!! The O'Herns

She's Got Style.........

Here's what she spent her bday $$ on, or some of it......

My First Turns 10 !

At 18:18 pm (6:18:)tonight, my Cadiebug turned double digits - 10 years old...wow!!
Her celebration started last night when her brothers went to spend the night with their MeeMaw, and her dad and I let her open the presents from us. She's really been wanting to "change" her room, so I bought her a new bedspread and sheets, a cool lamp and garbage can, with a note that we would also paint her room and buy accessories. (is this too much detail...sorry:) Anyway, today we went to church and Cadie wore a big happy bday bow - she's so cute! Then we went tubing in Lake Jackson with some church friends and finally tonight to DQ with the O'Hern/Grubb family for a bday blizzard!! Cadie "racked-up" with bday $$$, so I'm sure their will be shopping real soon in the future!! God has blessed us with a happy, energetic, empathetic, God-loving, sweet girl!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CADIEBUG!!We love you!!

Surviving Tropical Storm (or Hurricane??) Fay

Well, it has rained and rained AND RAINED, but we have survived without issue, other than being lazy and having fun as a family!! We watched ONLY 2 movies, with the rest of the day playing Boggle, working on 2-100 piece jigsaw and then a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle, pushing the kids in the pool (don't worry, it was during the eye of the storm!), of course eating 3 good meals and snacks in between!! It was a great day! Hope everyone was as blessed as the Five Fun Floridians!! Love and Blessings, Amy

God Bless This School Year

Cocoa Beach...Amy conference, Robert & Kids fun!

So this weekend, I had a continuing education class in Cocoa Beach! Robert and the kids came for support....really to have fun at the beach!! The hotel had a cool water park for the kids, with an awesome pirate ship which my boys loved! Cadie is a beach girl who loves the waves and the sand!! Saturday morning Robert decided to take the kids to Kennedy Space Center (or KSC if your a NASA guru :) and they had a blast..so much that Robert bought 1 year passes for all of us!! Robert tried to take lots of pics and even an awesome one of the afternoon storm blowing in!! So here's some pics...it will probably take 2 posts for pics, so I'll start with beach pics....Love, Amy

Way behind in posts....Fun in Little Gasparilla with the Bible's

Wow, where does time go?! So, let me catch you up...
Susan Bible's family has 2 small homes on little gasparilla and she graciously invited my family to come with them to the beach last weekend!! My camera battery died after the first 15 mins, so I only have a couple of pics. We had a great time even though the weather wasn't the best! The kids loved playing in the ocean, building sand castles, watching the olympics when the weather was too bad outside, fishing - esp. when Robert got sea-sick and threw up twice over the side of the boat..o.k.,the waves were bad and it was hot...thank heavens Susan and I stayed at the beach with the "little kids" and cadie :)!!! Anyway, we had an AWESOME, RELAXING - even with 7 kids - time...Thanks Susan,Andrew,Jay,Emily,Josh and Ashley!! We love you guys!!

Have A Great Weekend!!

Hope you can ENJOY your family this weekend - as crazy as they may be :) Love, Amy
