Florida Fun

Jason and I took the kids on a family trip to Flordia to visit all of the fam! Decs had yet to meet pappy and some of our other relatives so it was a two fold trip..to introduce our little guy and to escape this winter blues. We had great weather the entire time. The sunshine was just the ticket to lift our spirits! We also enjoyed lots of family time together and did outdoor activities the entire week.

First order of business according to Jace...Bush Wildlife aka The jungle. He took pictures of every single animal there.

Jungle Jace was on his game!

Of course my guys loved the snakes!

We spent lots of time with our cousin Indiana.."Pwetty Inie" and of course her parents...Wes and Natasha!!

Too Cute!

We also made a special trip to recconnect with our neighbors who sadly moved to from next door to right outside of Orlando Florida! We have missed them but it was so awesome to visit them, let the kids play, and see their new amazing house!

How I didn't get a picture of Praveen loving on the baby is beyone me!! He was holding him lots too!! Guess we had too much fun talking and catching up!! We cant wait to see them again!

Mom and Dad were great to offer to watch all of the boys overnight so Jason and I could have an adult night out with all of our cousins! We had a blast with Melissa, Jeff, Wes, and Natasha, Meredith, and Rich, and of course sister Trish and Tim! We went to downtown West Palm Beach, stayed in a hotel together, and went bar hopping.

Jace, Sawyer, and Daddy spent lots of time in the spool. Jace went from not putting his face in the water to full out swimming around the pool....Watch out Michael Phelps!

Deckie even got to enjoy the water!

We took the boys to indoor cafe, and playplace! The boys had a blast!

Declan wasn't as into the playtime

We enjoyed playing at the park that was right around the corner from my parents house

Last stop for the week....The Sea Turtles!

The boys were very curious and enjoyed learning about the turtles and their habitat!

There were so many other fun things the boys enjoyed and unfortunately I didnt get pictures! Nannie, Trish, and Tim took the boys to the Palm Beach Zoo which they of course love! Grandpaul took Jason, Jace, and Sawyer to Lion Country Safari and Jason said it was the highlight of the week enjoying watching the excitement on the boys faces.
I was able to take lunch to my mom at her school and check out her classroom of 6th graders! Grandy watched little Deckies and when I picked him up I was able to enjoy spending some time with her! She is termed the "Baby Whisperer." Declan had a great time playing!

Florida was a great family trip and we are now recharged and looking forward to spring time!!

Mommy's Little Helper

Jace has been asking to help clean lately. Of course I happily agree... This was him cleaning the bathrooms....I couldn't help but giggle at his get up. I asked him why he was cleaning in his undies...he said "well I don't want to get my pants dirty."


 There are many times throughout the day my kids leave me speechless.

Baby Love

It amazes me every single day how far our little "Deckies" has come! In just 6 months he has become a little person! He laughs, kisses, coos, and is the most lovable, huggable baby! The pictures below show how much he's grown!

The carseat test to make sure he was strong enough to come home

This one made me realize we may be movin on up to the big boy seat soon (tear, sigh)

                               We are so blessed and are lovin our baby!! He is growing too fast!!

My Three Sons

There is no place I'd rather be than with my guys!!

The Clone Wars

He's two, it can be terrible, and there is absolutely no denying....he is my little clone!

There's never a dull moment in this house of boys... But I wouldn't change it for the world!
