Kissimmee, FL/Bahamas

Gatorland! Any kid that goes to FL. has got to check this place out. So many gators, crocs and birds. We got to feed a turtle that was 92 years old. We watched the crocs jump up and eat chicken that was tied on ropes. We watched men wrestle the gators, play with snakes and spiders. Eeeekk. yucky. Well worth it and it was so nice outside to NOT wear a vest or jacket. Enjoy these pictures.
























Steve and I went snorkeling. Um, yes that's right. Don't ask how cold the water was. Just know that we saw beautiful sea creatures, colorful fishes and Steve even dove down and got a conch. We saw more fish on this outing than in Mexico, so we were very excited and....cold.





























Many, many more pictures do we have to share. I don't believe I will upload them all on here just a few of my favorites. Vacation is so much fun and relaxing but we are very happy to be home. Home again, that's what Steve always says as we are driving down the street. Glad to see my kitties and love on 'em. Thanks mom and dad for cleaning and feeding the kitties.

This was my first cruise and maybe, mayybe my last. At least not going on a boat while I'm pregnant might be the smart idea. Your levels are already thrown off and when you mix that with 15ft. swells.....yucky for Jeanie. The 2nd night was AWESOME. You didn't even know you were on a boat. That's exactly what it's suppose to feel like, or so Steve says. We did get arm bands to help with the sea sickness and they work wonderfully. I can still feel the waves especially when putting my makeup on in the bathroom. haha

The weather was quite chilly both in Florida AND the Bahamas. They said a cold front was passing by and closer to our last few days in FL. we got to wear shorts/dresses.

We ate so much food I believe the doctors might not be happy with my weight gain this week. Steve suggest we might need a little exercise and diet for the next MONTH! HA!!
Hope you enjoy our pictures. More will be on facebook in case you have it.

How wonderful are these little girl's. I had to share with my friends a couple of pictures of my family. Lil' Eva and Lily are just bundles of joy to me. I need to have their hugs right this moment and squeeze their tiny tush. <3 Them lot's and lot's.

Needs some Vitamin D please

I found myself looking at any beach picture possible. I needed to see some sun, feel the warmth thru the picture, listen to the trees as they blow off the ocean breeze. It made me remember Steve and I's trip to Mexico. How I wish we had the money to get away every couple of months to a nice warm place. You can attend these beautiful resorts ((ven with children)) so I believe we will have to go back one day. White sands, clear water.

Maybe I just find myself getting very excited for warm weather b/c that means Baby B will arrive. Cold weather has the blues on me. Come onnnnnn SPRING!!!

I am new

Forgiven beloved

Hidden in Christ

Made in the image of the Giver of Life

Righteous and holy

Reborn and remade

Accepted and worthy this is our new name



This is who we are now...



Now I won't deny

The worst you could say about me

But I'm not defined

These are some lyrics from Jason Gray and the song is titled "I am new". I really enjoyed this on my way home from work tonight. Just thought I would share them with you. You can google the song to get ALL the lyrics.

The Message

I made sure to go by the Christian bookstore today while I was out. I needed to update my bible and get out of the 'teen study' bible. It was a wreck and falling apart, had so much writing on the inside and highlighted completely. I was introduced to The Message by my good friend Sara. She has been using this version for a while and it came highly suggested. I had the NIV for my teen study and The Message is a contemporary version.

This was something that was on my New Years resolution. Buy a new bible, get back into daily devotions. That's where the pink book falls into play. It's something I can keep by my bed to read before I pass out. It's a woman's daily devotional. I believe I need this not only for myself but my family. To be a better person, wife, soon to be mom. Yippieeeee. Off to reading I go.

Coming to you...the Bump!!

We had our 5 year anniversary party tonight for Onyx, thought I would give you a shot of the bump in a pretty dress. I DID wear a cover up on my arms, it was super chilly outside. This little person inside me, just sucks the LIFE out of me. It was a great night filled with laughs, smiles, happy tears, endless crab cakes ((which Steve went crazy on)). Yup, the pregnant one will comment on anything about food.

Hope everyone's weekend went well.

14 weeks in

This is how adorable and cute our baby is right now. We are into the 2nd trimester and getting bigger. The babe can fit into our hand if that was possible. Kinda like a kitten I would like to think for size. Steve and I head off to the doctor on Jan11th for blood work, actually meeting our doctor, Mr. Swisher.

Very eager to ask questions, would love to see another view of the babe but I don't know if we will. I believe NEXT visit that is when we will find out WHAT we are HAVING!! Wow, I can't believe I just wrote that....we will be far enough along to know what sex is in there. Eeeeeekkkkk.

Love everyone. Keep praying for the health of our family and for the parents-to-be.
