Family vacation day
Daddy & Mommy decided very early on in planning our trip home to make some special time just for us - our family of 3!! We made a list of all the things we wanted to do, and thought Cason would enjoy also. And wow did we have a great time!! The most awesome family vacation!!
After having breakfast at Cracker Barrel (no surprise there!), we got on the road and headed down to Gainesville for a while. We couldn't wait to see the look on Awesome's face when he saw the Swamp, and Mommy couldn't wait to go shopping for some new Gator gear!! =)
**Attention**
LOTS of pictures!
LOTS!
**Attention**
LOTS of pictures!
LOTS!
Once we got to Gainesville, we walked around the campus a little. The we headed straight for the Gator Sportshop at the Swamp!!
Very Happy Father & Son!!
Once we spent half of Cason's inheritance at the Gator Sportshop, we went for a walk in & around the stadium. It was pretty cool to watch people run the stadium steps!
After walking around the stadium & even seeing Gator Offensive Lineman John Halapio riding on a scooter going into the stadium (very cool!), we went to the Heavener Football Complex. It houses all the National Championship trophies as well as other university & player awards. Very cool!!
Bronze statues of the 3 University of Florida Heisman Trophy winners outside the Heavener Football Complex - Steve Spurrier, Tim Tebow and Danny Wuerffel.
Walking back to the car, and on the other end of the Swamp, we stopped at the Bull Gator outside the booster offices to get a few pictures with him!!
Daddy & Cason having a blast!!!
Sweet boy having so much fun!!
Love this little guy so much!
Cason was on his best behavior & was having so much fun. We hated to leave Gainesville, but we still had more to do and it was only lunchtime!! Off to McDonald's for cheeseburgers to recharge! Yum!!
Relaxing on the way to our next destination...
More Nashville Knight family fun day to come....

Lazy vacation days
We had another day of chilling out on Monday. We LOVE vacations like that!! We met Yaya for lunch at Firehouse Subs and then went to the park to run around, slide & swing. We even played a little baseball! Afterwards, we took a great nap (2+ hours, ahhhh...)!! Cason was eating his snack when he realized he didn't have his fireman hat on (from lunch), so he proceeded to go upstairs and get it, then wear it for the next several hours! He's just so funny!
Love that little stinker!
Later that evening, Auntie Carol had a present for Cason. His very own Florida Gator #15 jersey!! I know there is no name on it, but everyone knows it's a Tebow jersey. So what do you do when you wear a Tebow jersey?... Yep, You "Tebow"!!!
Here daddy, let me show you how to do it...
**I know it's just the top of his head, but he looks so much like Cole here.
Love that!
Lazy day and an early bedtime. Why, you ask?
We have "family day" tomorrow!!!
What's that, you ask?...
You'll see!
More to come.....

Uncle Clayton!!
Uncle Clayton was coming home for a visit from his deployment in Bahrain and the whole family went to the airport to pick him up.
So happy to have him home safe & sound, even if it is just for a visit!
In G&G's van, on the way to the airport
After Jessie got her very long awaited hug from Clayton, he received the most amazing applause from the people at the airport. We couldn't get our cameras on fast enough, but you'll get the idea. The family had several people approach us while Clayton was hugging everyone and tell us to tell him Thank You for his service! We are just so very proud of him.
Clayton & Jessie smoochin'
Emma & Cole's sweet sign they made for Clayton

Uncle Clayton got some airline wing pins from the pilot for all the kids.
Major bonus points for that!!
He's pinning Cason's wings on him here.
Mommy & Daddy's favorite picture!!
Arriving home (at Auntie Carol's house) Clayton was greeted with flags
and "Welcome Home" & "We Missed You" signs!!
Everyone gathered at Auntie Carol's for a while so Clayton could shower after his long flight & just chill out. Then we all headed out to eat at Clayton's favorite mexican restaurant. YUM!!
(This is an older picture of Clayton & Jessie,
but it's at the same restaurant, so that's ok)
Part of our group celebrating
Afterwards, we headed home to G&G's to get some rest.
We had a busy week coming up and wanted to be ready for it!!

Florida, here we come!!
For the first time this year, we headed home to spend some time with family, visit Albert & Alberta's home town, and go to the beach. But the main reason we were coming was for Clayton & Jessie's wedding! We were ready for some down time and missing our family for sure.
We picked up Cason from Momma G's at lunch time and hit the road early. Our little traveler certainly loves to "rest" on his road trips!
Full tummy + moving car = Zzzzzzzz
Reading his Hello, Albert book about the University of Florida.
After his nap, Cason wanted his camera to take pictures
Yep, time for Cars
After a stop for dinner and a change into pj's, it was time for Cars 2
After a good night's sleep at G&G's, Cason got his Phineas & Ferb fix!
It was a lazy first day - great start for a vacation!!
We were resting up because Clayton was coming home from Bahrain for a visit in 1 day!!!
More to come....
