Some random pics

The boys made a pinewood derby race car with Kevin and then raced it at their Awanas group.  They had a lot of fun with that.  Neither one of them won in their division.  But, TJ won the commander's trophy.  The commander picks the best looking car and that was TJ's.  So, he was very excited about that. 

Trip to Florida 2013

The last few years we have greatly enjoyed traveling to Florida to visit with my parents.  It always seem to be a fun and relaxing time for us. It seems to be more fun every year which is a great blessing.  Kevin and I actually did some relaxing and book reading as well!!  The kids played games with my parents, us, and my aunt and uncle.  We also swam and played outside.  It was a little cooler than normal, but we were still able to swim...thankfully the pool at my parents condo is heated!! 

The boys and Kevin and Papaw went on a Pirate ship.  The boys had a blast. They dressed like pirates and had water cannons to shoot from the boat.  We also went to the beach one day.  Such a great way to spend time playing outside.  We also went to a Marlins spring training game. 

Here are a few pics:

Here are a few random pictures from the last few months to catch you up a bit. I haven't taken a whole lot....again...just taking care of kids and homeschooling...all I've been up to with pregnancy...not much extra. :  )

#4

Well, we are very thankful to announce that I am pregnant with baby #4.  I am 14 weeks pregnant.  I have been feeling quite sick for the last 2 months which is why I have not blogged in so long.  I have had just enough energy to homeschool and take care of the kids and the house.  And really I am just so thankful that Kevin is such an amazing helper and daddy cause most of the housework wouldn't be getting done without his major help.  I am praying that I will feel better soon.  With my 3 other pregnancies, I have felt better between week 14 and week 15 so hopefully soon this week I will feel better. I really pray so cause it has been rough and I am a little weary of being sick. 

TJ is 5!!!

TJ turned 5 in February.  He was very excited for his birthday and it was hard to wait till the end of the month to celebrate.  Of course, he had 2 days of celebrating so not too shabby.  We celebrated on his birthday and then had a birthday party for him on Saturday a few days after his real day which I guess technically only counts every 4 years.  His smart brother has figured this out and likes to tease TJ that he is only 1 years old.  We haven't let that teasing last long. 

TJ had 2 friends over for his birthday.  One friend from church and one from Awanas.  He chose a Peter Pan birthday party and he enjoyed every minute of it.  Kevin planned the whole thing and I was thankful for that.  Kevin had the boys doing a pin the "X" on the treasure and a treasure hunt which led them to the Peter Pan Cake treasure.  The boys also played outside in our backyard. 

TJ got a Peter Pan outfit from Aunt Jenny and Uncle Tommy and their kids and he loves it. He got it just in time for his birthday party on Saturday and he was able to wear it.  He also wore it to Awanas the other night for Green day for St. Paddys.  He was too cute!! 

TJ is getting big and growing...we just noticed his pants are too short and we needed to tighten them.  He just keeps growing taller and that makes him skinnier...he is our tall green bean for sure just like his Great Poppy.

TJ is taking swim lessons and is on a spring soccer team.  He loves being on a soccer team.  He played on a team with Caleb this winter and couldn't wait for the games on Saturday.  So, we signed both boys up again.  They also have an amazing swim lessons teacher and so I am glad we can do swim lessons at the YMCA close to our house.
