Orlando Vacation....Part 2

Part 2 of the photos. I still have so many more to post but these will do for now. There are many in this post. They are not in any particular order per say. Most of these are of the kids being kids. There are a few of my friends and I. I cringed a bit when I posted these because I have gained so much weight since having babies. It's going to come off...I've just not really focused on this area as of yet. Sooooo.....I decided to quit hiding and show myself....LOL

Ok so now that is out...sit back and enjoy part 2 of our vacation.


(This was a daily ritual on our vacation....everyone loading up in my friend's van and heading off to the many pools this place had.)

(Shiloh my 7yr old....isn't he cute!)

(This was one of the many favorite past times for these boys....video games galore!! They took advantage of playing the Wii since they have limited time at home. We had brought our wii and our friends brought theirs...so we had plenty of game systems to go around. Our Wii broke the second day we were there. This pic was taken before the accident. Oh well...)

(Ephee's favorite past time was riding up and down the elevator. He also loved pressing the Emergency call button and having security come out. No joke...every time we entered the elevator, he pressed the button....yikes....EPHEE Dont do THAT!!)

(Justin being......Justin)

(Girls favorite past time was being girls...)

(One night we headed off to a place called Old Town. They had little stores such as the one above. We all clowned around and took lots of pictures.)

(Silly faces)

(The mommas!! I love the multi racial friendships I have (Hispanic, black, white). Perfect image of the Body of Christ)

(Donnie needs a tan....LOL. Circus girl again!! Good thing she's over the water.)

(My friend Adrienne holding Ana and her daughter. I was going to join them in the water but I didn't wear my bathing suit on this day. It was the hottest day of almost 100*. Ana was so hot. Yes....she had suncreen. I know she should have had a hat....forgot this also. You would think being a mom of 8, I would be organized....NOT!!)

(The girls doing a line dance at the barbque the condos held for all the owners. FREE FOOD, MUSIC, AND DANCING...my kind of party!! Yeah, I did do the Electric Slide...no pictures of this though ;))

(The girls competed in a hula hoop contest to see who could go the longest...)

(My friend's daughter won the contest...TWICE!!! This girl can HULA!!)

(The Condos we stayed at)

(My favorite pass time is hanging out with my LOVE!! On this day we rented a couple bikes and took off for a few hours. NO KIDS ALLOWED!!)

(We parked!!)

(Every morning Donnie led the families into Worship and bible study. Donnie usually has a little one on his lap during family bible time.)





(Shiloh enjoyed spending time with his best bud)

(Girls again.....)

(Some of the gang hanging out on the balcony drinking blue icees)

(Love the bubbles...this has become a tradition for our girls)

(ahhhhh.....FACIALS)

More to come.....till then

Oh my, you must be filled up! God has blessed you with friendship! I loved all the pictures. My favorites were of you and hubby "parking" (too cute), your dear multi-colored friends, and your hubby doing a fantastic job being a spiritual leader!
Yes, Stacie....I am filled. I am very thankful for my hubby's leading our family. He is strong in this area by the grace of God. Thank God!!
Hi Chris! I grew up in Florida..yep 16 yrs:D Worked in Dinsey Wrdk for 6 yrs:D

Thank you! My desire is not only to let my hubby know how much I appreciate him but also to encourage other wives to take the time to notice and appreciate the little things their hubbies do....it really builds them up and in return they love on us!

WHAT?!? You didn't wear your bathing suit that day?!? You wore something though, right? What kind of vacation is this????!!!!!! LOL... that line made me laugh, Chris! You must have wanted a nice even tan, with no tan lines, huh?!

I loved all the pics, but I loved the picture of you and Donnie parked... brings back memories ;0)... Tim and I actually parked not that long ago, I wrote a post about it, and we had a blast. You guys are cute, girl.

xoxo, Veronica in CA
Funny Veronica....LOL

I actually changed the wording around a bit. I guess it did sound like I had nothing on. LOL

Yes, I did have clothes on.

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, ...

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 ...

Turn that TV off!!

Finding time to blog has been a little tough lately.  I don't know why.  Maybe it's because I feel I don't have anything good to share but then again that would be totally out of character for me because I am one of those women who can talk your ear off for hours and share with you my life story.  Truly!  So.....not having anything to say is just a big excuse.....ok so maybe it is finding the time.  As of late, I've been really, really striving to do the best I can in being a good steward over my time, children, and homemaking.  My heart's desire is to have an orderly home, orderly children, and a peaceful atmosphere. There are those days where I dream of being in a place where life is a bit simple....where I don't have modern technology like computers, tv, game systems trying to grab the attention of my children.  I don't know why this is so easy to "default" to when a "break" is needed or when I need some "alone time" or j...
