Our New Addition



Well here is our new little kitten. We finallybroke down and got the kids one. Yes he is so cute, his name is Boots. Jake picked out the name. The funny thing is before Mike and I had the kids, when we lived in Yuma, we had a cat named Boots. Who is now living with Mike's parents. But we gave Jake a couple choices of names and his first choice was Socks,well the next day he let me know it's not socks anymore it's Boots. Which is funny so now I guess he's Boots the 2nd.
But when deciding you want a kitten you just see them and they are so cute and lovable! Till you get them home! Somewhere totally different and they don't know where they are, well he's only 8 weeks so he's still a baby! Yes a baby that's exactly how he acts. If he can't see anyone around he cries. If we put him up before we go out he cries. If we put him in his room for the night he cries. And if he's just around he cries! AAAGGGHHH I'm about to loose my mind and we're only on day 3!!! But he is cute and hopefully he will grow out of it! But we're happy to have him, that is Mike, Me, Jake and Madison are. Now Panda (our dog) is not sure what to think yet! I think we'll introduce them next week!!

Our Walt Disney World Vacation!!!

Here is a few pictures of our fun filled week we spent up in Florida. It was so great to be able to take the kids up there and enjoy our time in Disney World. It was alot of fun. The first day we spent driving. It was a long 10 hour trip but it wasn't to bad, we left at 5 in the morning so the kids were pretty quite. And we got to the hotel right at check in time. Then we took a nice dip in the pool. Our next day we went to the Magic Kingdom which was great the lines were so much shorter than at Disneyland, the longest line we had was about 20 min. It was great! The next day we went to the Wild animal Kingdom which was fun we went on a animal safari ride and saw a lot of animals. They had a dinosaur land which Jake really liked. Only one ride though that the kids could ride the others were to big for Jake to ride he was sad he wasn't tall enough. Then the next day we took a little break and went to Coco beach which it was a beautiful day we spent a couple hours out there and came back and went swimming. Our last day (Friday) we went back to Disney World and went to the MGM studios. It wasn't something I would visit again, it wasn't to fun I think for the kids. They did have a Mickey Mouse club house show and a little Mermaid show that the kids liked. We took a back stage tour also that showed alot of how they make their movies and stuff disney has bought. We also saw a cool Indian Jones show Jake liked. Saturday we had a long drive home and the kids were quite ready to be home! But we want to thank Miguel and Faye they got us in for free to Disney World all three days!!! They are sooooo wonderful!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!


Happy Mother's day to all you mom's out there!
I am so grateful for this wonderful day to take the
time to appreciate our mom's. My mom is the best
mom in the world. And I'm so grateful for her and
all that she has done for me and that she continues
to do for me! For all she has taught me and still teaches
me.
I'm so lucky to be the mom of these two wonderful
and beautiful children right here! They continue to
make me proud and happy each day, and yes there
are those many days that they make me want to pull my hair out,
but at the end of the day I just thank God that he has
blessed me and given me the opportunity to be a mom.
My most favorite thing about being a mom is the sweet
little hugs and kisses and knowing they need me and love me!
I hope everyone enjoys Mother's day!!!

Jake's new bike!

Yes, we broke down and bought Jake
a new bike. He has been wanting one
for a couple weeks now ever since we
went to Walmart and we let him test drive
one. So here are a couple pictures of
him.....

Ready to go with arm pads, knee
pads and helmet!

And we're ready to take off!

I know it's a still picture but he really is peddling
it! He just looks so grown up!

Our New River Airshow

Today was our Airshow here in Jacksonville.
It was pretty fun, the kids like the airplanes,
and helicopters although some of them were
a little to loud for Madison. After watching the
show we walked around and saw lots of the
airplanes and helicopters on display. But after
4 hours and Mike and I sunburned we went
home. Here are a couple pictures that turned
out from the airshow.
