The weather was perfect and we decided to take a walk to one of the other Beaches resorts for a few hours.

Wedding Bliss- Sandals Negril

On December 3rd we started our journey to the Sandals Resort in Negril, Jamaica and on December 5th I became Mrs. Brad Teeple! We were so blessed to have 8 of our very close family and friends join us and participate in our wedding. We want to thank our parents for being so supportive throughout the whole process. We could not have done it without you all. We appreciate all you have done for us. Thank you to Jesse and Steph for standing up with us. We are so happy to have you in Kansas City- many more fun times to come. We can not thank Kara and Mark enough for making the trip and doing an amazing job as our photographers. Your generosity is overwhelming. We wish you both so much love and happiness on your upcoming wedding. And lastly we want to thank Kitty for her great friendship and traveling with Mom. We love you all!

On the second night one of the air conditioners broke in our one bedroom loft suite and we were so excited to learn that we were going to be upgraded to the swim up river suites for the rest of our stay. It was a great way to spend the rest of our vacation

We enjoyed many activities at the resort including snorkeling, tubing, water skiing, kayaking and best of all laying on the beautiful beach sipping on Jamaican cocktails. Ping Pong became a daily event and I finally managed to beat Brad at a game or two.

On the way from the airport to the resort we met two couples that were celebrating their honeymoons as well. Joe and Shannon from Wisconsin and Dave and Carrie from New Jersey. We had a blast getting to know all of them. We all decided to take an excursion to the world famous Rick's Cafe Bar and Grill. We took a catamaran boat to the bar where we had to jump the boat and swim over to the bar. Once there the views were spectacular and jumping from the 35 foot cliff into the water was exhilarating.

After 9 days of fun in the sun we were ready to come home were happy to see Brady. Getting back to reality definitely took some time, but the memories will be with us forever.

We will share more wedding pictures once we get them all organized!

Movie Time

We took Brady to his first movie this past weekend. He loved eating the popcorn and drinking his sprite. He did very well and we all enjoyed watching Madagascar 2.

Christmas Tree Farm

On Friday morning after we slept off our turkey coma, Aunt Steph and Uncle Jesse came with us to the Christmas Tree farm to pick up our Christmas Trees. Brady was thrilled and could not wait to get ours home to start decorating and putting the lights on it.

There it is! Daddy Brad did a great job at finding a perfect tree.

Thanksgiving Day Feast

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday. We enjoyed a quiet day at home. Brady loved watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and seeing all his favorite characters in balloon form. Uncle Jesse and Aunt Steph came over to join in the festivities and we all pitched in to cook a delicious meal.

Brad carves the turkey he fried. We are thankful the bird came out unharmed after he set off a mini fire in the lawn :)

Uncle Jesse was a HUGE help with keeping Brady occupied as we scurried around the kitchen getting the meal ready. They made a choo choo track out of pillows on the floor.

...which ended up in a pillow fight

Fun in the Leaves

As Brady was feeling much better after having pneumonia this past week he was very excited to go outside and help us with the leaves. He had fun walking through the big pile of leaves with Daddy Brad and lended a helping hand with putting the leaves in the bags. He enjoyed running around the yard and riding his bike on the driveway as well. We were successful in tiring him out with a result of a 3 hour nap.

Happy Halloween

We hope you all had a healthy and safe Halloween. As Brady was with his Dad on Halloween we decided to have a dress rehearsal a few days early so Brady could show off his new Spiderman costume. He practiced his superpowers on us and loved running around the house pretending to be a superhero. He was hesitant to take off his new prized possession, but was finally willing after we convinced him he would be able to show it off again.

He even put the mask on!

Oh No! Look out Mommy I am going to get you!
