Orlando Vacation...Part 1

Here are some pictures of our vacation last month. We have so many, so picked and posted a few. We had so much fun. There were three families who vacationed together in two condos. My friend who owns the timeshare was able to get 2 big condos and two smaller units. So amongst all of our families we had lots of room. There were about 20 people in and out, the week we were there. Lots of fun and relaxation!

(Some of the gang heading off to the pool)


(Most of the time Kole hung out by pool side. He did not like the water much)


(Daddy with his two little boys)

(Do I look like I'm having fun....)
(Kole saying "I think I had enough)
(Ephee is a fish....he loved the water!! I had to keep these wings on or else he would jump in without them)


(Ephee saying "Can't catch me daddy")

(Galen had so much fun)
(The girls had even more fun)
(Shiloh with his best bud Micah)


(Ana where is your bathing suit? I didn't think she was going to go in the water this specific day, so I forgot her little suit back at the condo...she was wore out)

(Riding Thomas back to the condo)

(So much fun for the little guys)

(Daddy, please put me down. I'm tired)

(Much better...now I can sleep)
(Fun!!)


(Some went on paddle boats)

(Moriah enjoying the swan boats)


Lots and lots more to come....stay tuned.

Until Then....

Chris, that looks so fun. I loved the Thomas the train ride.

Truly those are some beautiful children, Sister.

Yes, we had such a blast. My wonderful friends invite us each year to vacation with them. It costs us nothing...thank God. All we had to pay for was food (grocery store) and the gas to get us there and back. Which wasn't bad since we live about 2 hr from Orlando, FL.

The kids had such a great time!! They had no responsibilities and were allowed to stay up as late as they wanted (my older kids, that is).

Thanks Veronica for complimenting on my kids. Yes, I must admit we make some beautiful babies. I guess that is why we keep having them....LOL. :))

what a great family, you look like you're having such a great time !! Hey you'll have to email me where you want you're coffee sent to :) HOORAY FOR CHRIS YOU WON !! you comments, questions and desire to be faithful to the Lord blessed me to pieces. Have a great weekend and let me know, dark roast, decaf, light roast, flavored ? ?
I've just added this blog to my list, too. You seem like such a great family! Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog. Riding motorcycles is simply wonderful. I was fearful at first, but just took it slow and now I can't ever imagine not riding. I'm safety girl when it comes to riding, but that is OK because I've got kids to raise.

It is funny because when I commented on your other blog, I thought to myself, "She doesn't need this! With her size of family, she can probably be giving me tips in the cooking area." Glad you got some new ideas.

God Bless,
Jackie

It looks like your family has fun together and is having an enjoyable summer! (I wish I could say the same, but this is one of the worst there have been.) Would love to see you soon!

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

Joyful Mother wasn't very Joyful....

A short little post to let you know I AM OK!!  I know the last post was rather hopeless than hopeful.   I am doing much better and I do feel like there has been a bit of a breakthrough in my attitude.  I have been letting every little thing on this journey bother me so very much.  It doesn't matter what it wass....it was bothering me.  I was even snappy to my mother-in-law the other day and it wasn't very pretty or Christ Like at all!!  :(    I am so very thankful my mom-in-law loves me unconditionally and embraces me even when I am ugly.  Seriously!  I was letting everything bother me!!  I had been making myself out to be a burden or a "visitor" rather than a daughter.  I wasn't allowing myself to be accepted rather I was making myself out to be a burden.  A burden that no one had put on me.  I did this to myself by listening to the enemy's lies.  After a good talk with my mom-in-law and with the Lord, ...

She is Here!! Welcome Ana Karisa!!

Just a quick update to let you know we had the baby!!  Yay!!!! :D Here name:  Ana Karisa (pronounced  A-nah  Ka-ree-sah  ) Born: January 30 at 9:15 PM Weight:  7'2 oz  19 inches  Beautiful little girl.   Here are some pictures and when I start feeling normal and not so much like a milk cow, then I will post the details of what took place on Delivery day. ( Ana about 5 minutes old) (Here she after her check up--about 30 minutes old)   (Coming home!!  1 1/2 days old) We came home yesterday late afternoon, and I am lacking much sleep.  I really haven't slept since last Saturday.   She is nursing a lot right now to bring down my milk.  I've been nursing around the clock.  Almost every hour.  I am doing this because she has been hungry and I need my milk to come in as soon as possible.  I am showing signs today of it coming in.  She is not so fussy and more content.   It is so easy to forget about those newborn days.  It doesn't matter how many babies you have had in the pas...
