Mommy & Daddy had their first "overnight date" since Cason was born.  We can't believe that the little man is almost 2 years old and we haven't been away from him overnight yet.  So Mommy & Daddy planned a date!!  We had lunch with Yaya at Woody's BBQ and then took Cason to her house for a nap.  After he was down, we headed to St. Augustine for our day of fun! 

First we hit the outlet malls (LOVE!!) and then checked into our hotel downtown.  We were walking distance from downtown and had dinner at Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille. YUM-O!!  The weather was amazing, cool but not cold and it was perfect for an after dinner stroll along the water near the Bridge of Lions and the Castillo de San Marcos.  The day was pretty close to perfect!!

The next day we slept in until 9:30 am and it was HEAVEN!! Don't get me wrong, the sleep was great but I did miss my usual morning greeting of "Moooooooooomma! Daddeeeeeeee!"  After we finally woke up and got moving, we drove by Cason's great-great-grandmother's house in downtown St. Augustine.  It was really cool to hear stories from Daddy's childhood that took place at Granny's house.   Her house has now been converted into a Bed & Breakfast and is adorable!

 After we left Granny's house, we went to get a late, big breakfast and then headed home to get lots of kisses, hugs and snuggles from Captain Awesome!

On our first day, we chilled out a little and of course,

we spent some time with our sweet niece, Emma! 

Cason was so happy!!

Emma wanted to read Cason a book on the way to the store.

Emma, Cason and Cole got into their PJs

and were watching Up!

 They moved Cole's spiderman chair onto the bed

to prop up! Cracks me up!!

Oh my goodness how busy we have been!!! Has it really been 5 WEEKS since we updated?!  Well, do we have LOTS to share with you?! YES, so let's get started!!

On Nov 18th, Mommy & Daddy got of work early and we headed out on the road to Florida.  What a great little traveler Cason is.  He's always ready for an adventure!

After lunch, we hit the road!

Later, we had a quick stop at Mickey D's and  

a change into our PJ's,

then watching Cars!

Some balancing exercises

(Mommy's Grandma would be so happy that

her flower pots were being put to good use!)

Random leaf munching....

Yes, I said leaf munching...

 Watching the doggies at the doggie park

 Ready for some relaxation time

 After naptime, needing some Disney before the football game.

 

 The "precious little smile" face

 The "Seriously (with all the pictures this early) mom?!!" face

 Have a great day!!

We were listening to the new Casting Crown's cd on the way to Momma G's this morning.  Cason decided it was a perfect opportunity for a jam session, complete with fist pumping, head shaking and goofy faces!! Enjoy!

  We are so blessed with such an amazing child!

Cason had a very busy Halloween this year! Since it fell on a Monday, he went to 2 parties that day!  He had a party at Momma G's house with all of his buddies and had so much fun.  They colored pictures, had storytime, had their faces painted and ate yummy snacks! Daddy got there early and was able to be part of the party with everyone!  The kids had an awesome time, thats for sure!!

Mommy & Daddy's sunday school class had a party that night with their friends and all the kiddos too! After the party, we all went out for (as Sally from Peanuts would say) Tricks-or-Treats!!

But it was mostly treats!!

Our little Sock Monkey!!

Before we went to the party, we headed back to Momma G's so she could see Cason's costume.

And she agreed, he IS a little monkey!

 Fueling up for the big night!! hehe....

 Chillin' at Momma G's

 Blanket, candy bag, flashlight... lets go!

 Holding mommy's hand

 Let me show you how to do this Mommy..

You say "trick or treat" and they just GIVE you candy!! 

Sometimes they give you extra, if you're cute like me! 

But I'm not ready to go home yet!!

 Happy boy now that he has Mommy's water bottle

 Very tired Trick or Treaters crashed after we got home and got warm & snuggly
