The last 3 months in pictures

Wel yet again I have gotten so far behind in blogging that I simple cannot remeber all that has happened. I will just hit some hight lights of the last few months.


In August the girls started back to school...Morgan is a Junior! Driving everywhere and I am starting to get used to it...sorta:)

 McKinley is in 4th grade and was chosen to be a patrol this year.

 Madison is in 2nd garde has has our beloved Mrs. Flores for her teacher:)

Now well into 8weeks of school and all three are doing great.


August we also celebrated this little ones 4 year Gotcha day:

And London turning TWO:)

September:

We went to Pensacola for David's sisters wedding:

 We also moved at the end of September.. Just a few miles from where we used to live.

We now have a golf course view:)

I am still in the process of decorating/renovating so more pictures to come later.


Also, at the end of September my parents came for Grandparents day!! The girls were SO excited.

We love when the Grandparents come for a visit.


October:

Life has been so crazy lately with the selling of our house, buying of another , moving in and having family visit and next week I leave for HAITI!! Thats right, I am going on a mission trip to Haiti next week, So I woudl appreciate all your prayers as I travel. Praying for safety and good health while I am away as well as for David and the girls while I am gone.

SWEET SIXTEEN!!!!

If you need me today I will be rocking in a corner crying:)! How can the one who made me a mother be SIXTEEN....TODAY?

 The last few years have just flown by and It is so hard to believe that not only can she drive ..legally, without her mom in the car, but in just two short years she will be in COLLEGE!
I.CANT.EVEN.

 I am so proud of  the young women you are becoming. My prayer has always been that you would grow in your faith, be kind & have a heart of integrity. It is so cool to see how God is growing you as each year goes by.

I love you Morgan!

Final Day in New York :(

So we went to the 9-11 museum on oue final day in NYC and it was so surreal. It was very emotional so I cannot even imagine how people feel when they have personally known someone who died on that day. I took so pictures but there was certain areas where no photos were aloud.

After we left the Museum we walked around the city and ran into Dylan's candy bar. It was so cool and I am glad my girls wasn't with me or we would have spent a fortune:)

We got the girls a little something and if you know me at all you know my favorite candy is gummy bears so I picked up a bag... I may or may not have ordered 3 more bags since returning home :)

For dinner we went to a steak house called Quality Meats and it was amazing.

 Look at that bone!!!

And after dinner we went to see Wicked on Broadway... It was excellent and if you ask David his favorite thing about the trip he will say Wicked.

It was a great way to wrap up our time in N.Y.

And here are just a few other random photos from our trip.

Grand Central Station

Look who we ran into in Central Park:) They were there house hunting, they will be moving soon to New Jersey.. But I don't like to talk or think about that, so let's move on.

I love, love, love the dry bar products and my sweet friend Katie knows this about me so she surprised me with an appointment at the dry bar for a blow dry and style!!! Seriously, I was so excited about this. We don't have any of these in Tampa so it was such a fun little surprise.

Thank you Katie Butson I LOVED it!

New York was fun and I hope another trip back will be in my future.

New York Part 2

I was saying that Central Park was one of my favorite things we did while in N.Y. But my amazing hubby also got us tickets to go see Kelly and Michael so meeting Kelly Rippa was also pretty high up on my list too:)

After we left Kelly and Michael show we headed to another one of my " Bucket list" things which was Serendipity to have a frozen hot chocolate.

And let me tell you...10 years of waiting and it was worth the wait.

Here are some other random pictures :

 Had rice pudding for the first time ever, was pretty good.

And there was the subway, not gonna lie, I didn't care much for it but it was a cheap way to get around:) This was my mood while on it the 2 times we rode it.

 I better get productive and step away from my computer so I will post about our final day in N.Y. tomorrow.
