Gramma's House and Random Pics from Florida

My mom is a talented musician and loves nothing more than to share her passion with her grandkids. Luckily Morgan cannot get enough of musical instruments and continually begged Gramma to see the trumpets and french horns. Ben enjoyed the show as well.

Good thing Gramma had an old horn and mouth pieces to spare.

Morgan taking a bow after the show. Always the rock star.

I love this picture of Pepper it showcases how anxious she is to be on the move.

She cannot just lay down anymore without trying to roll over, tuck her legs up under herself or do sit ups. She's getting pretty good at rolling and spinning herself around on the floor.

I realized I was only taking pics of the younger kids so here's Kim's 3rd son Joshua.
Always a great smile on this kid!

Ben, the tannest little guy ever!

Sweet Alice in her pretty Sunday dress.

Nathan, Kim's oldest, playing trains with Morgan or rather trying to play trains while Morgan tries to destroy everything.

Morgan's lounge chair.
This kid knows how to relax.

We enjoyed Gramma and Papa's pool pretty much everyday.
Morgan wasn't brave enough to where a floatie and venture out on his own but he loved splashing about.

Nothing like a sunny day spent swimming in the nude.

Hanging out with the girls at Jill's house.

Morgan's shirt says "Big Brothers Rock" and Pepper's says "Little Sister".
I've been trying to get a picture of these two in these shirts since pepper was born and this is the best I've gotten so far...sad.
Here's a video of Morgan's harmonica skills at Jill's house:


Hanging with Gramma.
All the younger cousins decided the best thing to do at Gramma's house was jump on the beds in Jill's old room. Here are a couple videos of their antics:











The last night there some of us drove to Orlando to visit with a friend of ours from when we lived in Belgium. It's always nice to catch up with old friends. Thank goodness for blogs and Facebook!
There are a few more pictures, stories and videos for me to post as soon as I get them together but for the most part that was our trip to Florida. We love going there every summer and will miss going home for Christmas this year. We are lucky to have so much family in one place. Morgan just loved playing with all his cousins and asks for them constantly. Along with Gramma...I'm sure he misses Papa too but you know how it goes. There's no one quite better than a grandma!

Cute, cute, cute! Pepper is seriously adorable! Morgan looks the same, just a bigger cutie-pie.

Loved the pictures Beth! I would say Morgan definitely inherited that musical talent your mom has. He looked so cute eating the slice of pizza that was about as big has his face. That one of pepper on the floor was darling, Wade is rolling all over the place too, it won't be long before they are both into everything :)

The pictures and videos were great. Kevin came out that night and said, I took videos of the kids jumping on the beds with everyone's camera's. Too fun. I love the picture of you and Alice and the 3 girls. I also like the one of Pepper on her tummy. She'll be walking before you know it. Oh, I just have a few stitches to do on the bumper pads. Very excited.

Pepper is a beauty. How fun to get to hang out with the whole family.
