February 2013

I can’t believe it, this is an absolute first. Never happen before! If I hadn’t verified it with my own eyes, I to would think it a LIE……………….

 

I did not take a single photo in January!

 

What will I blog about? Anyone who reads my blog knows it is really just another format for me to share my photos. I do occasionally sprinkle a word or two, but never more than pahagragh.LOL

Family fun………………….

We were able to do Disney one more time as a family before our passes expired. I might take the kids for a day trip in early March if time permits. We have really enjoyed our time there and were able to create some wonderful memories. If your looking for a cool family friendly hotel in Orlando our favorite is: http://likitiki1.rtrk.com/?scid=2490345&kw=1722995&pub_cr_id=16705451126 Liki Tiki Village.

 
 
 
 
 We would like to do a small mini trip to the FL keys (Key West) sometime in May /June. We have never been! Found a cool ferry that will take you right to Key West:  http://www.seakeywestexpress.com/reservations.html  still looking for a family friendly hotel.

 
We found the cutest little tea room last month, A Corner of England, sadly we received an Email saying they were going out of business L so this Saturday we will go one last time for High Tea. http://www.acornerofengland.com/


 



 
 
Florida has been cool this year!   Yes I know to some of you 64 is not cool or cold but I assure you that as a true Floridian that is DARN cold. We did manage to have a few evenings by the fire, roasting hotdogs, marshmallows, making smores, and drinking hot chocolate. Good old fashion family fun!

The kids are all doing well everyone is so busy now; we aren’t able to get together as much as I would like.
Casie is working 2 jobs bartending and doing well. She hopes to be back in school this summer to finish up her B.S. in paralegal studies. Only three semesters left, so close. She is busy always on the go.
Jessica is settling in to her new job well, and enjoys teaching. The kids and I volunteered in her class this week and had a blast. We plan on going back!  Mike is also progressing nicely in school and on track to graduate in early 2014. 
 
 Nicole, Brandie and Jack are happy, healthy and working hard. Thalia is excelling in school and preparing for the arrival of her brother or sister. I can’t wait to hear BOY or GIRL.
 
Michael is growing so fast and becoming such an awesome young man! His studies are going great learning so much.  Football starts in a month and he is ready!
Madison is so easy going I swear I don’t know where she got that from! I am the total opposite. She is loving soccer and just asked to start taking gymnastic classes. School is going great she started learning multiplication and she loves it!!!
 
Virtual school is going great report cards came in and straight A’s for both kids!

Chemistry just learned how to balance chemical equations




  www.geocaching.com/ Geocaching ; this has turned out to be a great activity and perfect fit for our family. Not sure who likes it more Mike or the kids. We were even able to find a few in Orlando. We even found a letter box on one of our hunts. Were we have reached our 100th find we are taking a road trip to the space coast. They have a GEO store! http://shop.spacecoastgeocachers.com/GPS-Units_c7.htm
