John's New Hobbie.......

Carving coconuts. Much cheaper and safer than racing motorcycles.

We headed up to Titusville (about 4 hrs away, up by Cape Canaveral) to spend Thanksgiving with Grandpa Gary and Grandma Janet. We had a rough start to our trip. We got off about an hour and a half later than planned. John had to stop by his school to get some books so he could study that weekend and while we were pulling out to head toward the freeway an older lady from Canada rear ended us. Thankfully it was really minor, just a few scratches, but it scared the boys and delayed our trip even more. Then, I decided to take the scenic route because it's much prettier of a drive but didn't realize how late it was. We were heading to Dinosaur World, a park about an hour and a half from Titusville, with 50 or so life size dinosaurs and other fun things to do. I called earlier in the day and they said they closed at 6:00. No problem I thought. We got there about 4:45 and they said, "Sorry you were misinformed, we close at 5:00pm". I just about cried at that point. But, what are you going to do. We let the boys run around for 15 or 20 twenty minutes, got back in the car and went to five Guys for dinner. That will always make a pregnant girl feel better.

The rest of the weekend was great. Janet and Gary cooked a nice Thanksgiving meal. The weather was so nice we spent a bunch of time out side. These pics are from the park we went to the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Wendy had a Birthday

Our wonderful Wendy had a birthday. She is a selfless giver and glue to our family. Being Wendy there were no surprises and no fan-fare. This is the only photo I could get of the event. Even though there was no "big ta-ta" as Wendy would say, we all celebrate how special of a person she is to us. We love you Wendy. You are amazing!!!

Halloween in January????

Yes, if it's been that long since we've posted anything on our blog. And it has. Sorry. At this rate we'll be posting Christmas around the time the baby is due the first week of April.

Halloween was so much fun this year. I love this holiday. Our boys really got into it. We sang songs, made caramel apples, watched Halloween movies, ate pumpkin everything..cookies, pancakes, muffins etc. We celebrated the whole month long.

Carving pumpkins in Florida is different. You really can't carve them any earlier than the day before Halloween or they turn moldy. I think we carved them Saturday which was the day we celebrated because Halloween was on Sunday.

We went to a couple really fun parties.

Both of our boys were Iron Man!!! (Eli pretty much copies everything Miles does) I have to say that these costumes have been put to good use because they still wear them a few times a week. Super hero's are really big right now in our house hold. The boys go back and forth between being Iron Man, Batman, and Spider man, while dad is Captain America and I am Woman Girl (Wonder Woman, but Miles calls her Woman Girl). Daily we are fighting the Penguin, the Joker, Ultimo, Whiplash and another bad guys trying to hurt us. Yesterday, Miles, I mean Batman, was protecting the baby in Mommies tummy because the bad guys were trying to hurt him. The only time the boys are not pretending to be super hero's is when they are pretending to be Buzz and Woody from Toy Story 3, their favorite movie right now (except for the monkey, Eli is sooo scared of that monkey) Also, Miles likes to pretend he is Mr Potato Head in the first scene of the movie when he is robbing the train. Miles loves to pretend to steal money from a train or bank etc.... Should I be worried yet? I suppose not since the other six days of the week he's the good guy.
