FLORIDA

Ok, well there are going to be several posts because I am going to be doing day by day so let's begin....

Day 1

Sunday:  We didn't have time on Saturday night to think of what we were going to do for food.  Well I am not big on eating out, so we had to go stock up on food for the week.  That's how we spend our Sunday.  Not much to it.  We went to an outside mall and walked around a lot as well, ya know just hung out.  

Day 2

Monday: We get woken up at 3 a.m. to Krew barfing his guts up.  Poor guy, this was the wonderful beginning of our trip.  We went and got pedialite and got ready to head to gator land. (Keep in mind, we were out numbered, by 1 teenager, 2 pre-teenagers and a very very persistent 4 year old that we love and adore so so much).  Yeah, not my cup of tea, but I put on my happy face!!  The pictures can tell it all.

Day 3

Tuesday: Still waking up to Krew puking.  So, this time I took him to Urgent Care.  Yeah I got slack for it ya know cause I react too fast and just take him at the drop of a hat, but I would think a baby that has a temp of 102 would be pretty good reason enough.  Anyways, we had to get some medicine for him and after that we were once again on the go to Animal Kingdom.  We didn't really have time to think what we should do  and I wished we would have stayed at the condo with him so he could sleep in his comfy bed.  Animal Kingdom was fun though as much as it can be with a sick baby.  Pictures again to follow.

Day 4

Wednesday: Ok by this time I was ready to go home, but we still had 3.5 more days!!  We went to Walt Disney World.  I was really excited about the fact that we had to take a ferry boat to get to it.  However, Krew ended up barfing up everything he had in his tummy the last day.  So, we had to wash him off, wash off his stroller and they were awesome in the fact that they gave us a blanket and outfit for free!!  $60.00 value!!  

Day 5

Thursday:  A break from Theme Parks Finally!!  We headed down to the beach and laid out all day.  Well, 3 hours.  So, our time came too quickly.  I think I got skin cancer or something!!  Anyways,  the trip was ok, but next time it's going to be no parents, no kids and no phones!!!  

Day 6

Friday:  Ebcott, Adam forgot our tickets and I didn't want to be there so basically IT SUCKED!! 

and Saturday we missed our flight and didn't get home until 3!!!!!!

All in all, I wouldn't do it again unless is was the girls, adam, no kids and no phones!!  

MY WEEKEND!

This weekend was fabulous.  My in-laws came to visit (will post pictures soon) and we got to watch Ryker on Friday so they could go out for part 1 of their anniversary dinner.  

He is so much fun, I just can't believe how fast he is growing up.  It was very enjoyable.  I am going to be sad when they go.  

I did accomplish some things.  I made his blocks YEAHHHHH, and I am sneaking my mother-in-laws blocks home with them so she can have them.  Hers I did before her birthday, but never have a chance to send it.  Here are the boys together and some pics of the crafts.  We love you guys, hope you had a great time and enjoyed yourselves.  We are going to miss you like crazy until T-giving!!

THANKSGIVING

I am a little behind yes. Claudia and Tricia came into town for thanksgiving and it was the funnest time in the world. I didn't stress too much because there were not a whole ton of people here. Just us and them and about 4-5 kids so it was perfect. They got in on Thanksgiving day and I must say I never cooked a turkey before and it turned out great. Thanks to Claudia who had to tell me exactly what to do. We ate and sat around and chatted then we hit the sack knowing what lies ahead of us. 5:30am my alarm goes off and we are out the door headed to the mall. When we get there I am expecting a whole slew of cars and it was EMPTY!! Sucks for the economy but good for us. We got all of the shopping done that needed to be done there and off we went to AZ mills mall. We spent most of our day there, got the best deals and then headed to Chandler mall. We finally arrived home at 9:30p.m. WORLD record for shopping for me, but that's why I love being with Tricia so much, cause without kids and hubbies, we could shop all freaking day. We were beat when we got home and hit the bed hard. Saturday morning came and we decided to have a Sis day. What I mean by that is, just the two of us went and pampered ourselves. Tricia got her hair done, we went and relaxed at the spa and got pedicures and our nails done and our eyebrows waxed. It would have been nice to get a massage, however, it was already dinner time so we met up with Adam and Claudia and had dinner, just the adults and Krew of course.

I must say I have the best mother in law in the world. While Tricia and I were out, she did all of our laundry for us. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT. I don't think my own mother would do that. She adores Krew and just can't get enough of him. He was in heaven having grandma here to spend the entire day with him. She is such a great blessing.

And of course Tricia.... my bestie!! We have a lot in common, but it was so nice to finally just be able to talk and spend some time together. She is someone I can confide in and joke with and laugh with. We don't even have to be talking about anything, we can just look at each other and start laughing. She is so happy and beautiful, inside and out and I am so grateful to have her as part of my family.

So, Sunday comes and it's time for them to go, but we decided we will go to this place and take a few pictures of them before they head out. They turned out so stinking cute. Here is what I came out with.

Raegan is getting so big, and she is so photogenic. As you can see, Jeffrey wanted nothing to do with pictures, but I got this one shot of him that turned out superb!! I love you guys, cant wait till christmas!!

Drum Roll.......

So they turned out amazing, we had a lot of fun. Wait..... I take that back, I think I was miserable and stressed the entire day. We started getting ready at 1 pm and managed to still be late. All in all it was worth it. These pictures somehow give me the drive to get into photography, but it probably will never be a profession, just a hobby. We had to take Jerzi (yes Adam's idea) BTW everyone keeps asking where Oakley went, oh yeah I forgot to mention, tooo much for me to deal with right now, so we sold him, butttttttt not too far away, he went to Staci and Charley's so he could be with his brother!! It's been the biggest relief. I now only have to concentrate on my family and not trying to give extra attention I don't have to a puppy. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving. We got our decorations this weekend (yes I absolutely hate the holidays, especially Christmas) because Adam is so into the holidays so I decided to try to get into it to, but not feeling it so much!! I just hate it!! Even now, it's just not going to happen. Yeah I know negative attitude, but i just don't think this is one I will be able to tackle. ENJOY!!!!
