Orlando Fair


We went to the Orlando fair with some friends. Brooke was pretty excited/nervous to see the elephant.... Parker enjoyed the tigers. It was full of different animals you could see..including a petting area which they loved to run up to the animals and pet them .. they have no fear. We stopped along the way an ate and ate ... corn dogs, carmel corn popcorn, funnel cakes, pizza, spicy corn on the cob, and cotton & candy.

House in Jacksonville


Our house in Jacksonville has still not sold after a year and half! We had pored so much love and work into this house it was suppose to be the house we raised our children in. We have owned the house for two years this May and only lived there 5 months. We trust the Lord as we moved down to Orlando as it has been better than we could have ever expected. We know God is taking us through this trail to grow us stronger. Scott and I have learned so much about money through this hard time .. we wouldn't change any of this. Our discipline for money is a lesson we definitely need. It's been a time of transformation we have changed our perspective and how many things we just don't really need. It been a time we don't go out to eat as much. I have started to learn and enjoy cooking. We have learn to give to our church and to people around us even if we feel we don't have enough to give. It's really not our money and we are so rich compared to most of the world! It's God's money and his plan and we completely hand this trail over to him! Please pray for not our house to sell but for God's will in completing us in his journey. Here are some before and after picture of our house.. it hard to believe this was two years ago. Here's the link if you know anyone that needs a house in Jacksonville we know a good one!:)

Growing Up-18 months




Brooke and Parker are now 18 months and funnier than ever!They are so cute I just want to love on them all day long. They found daddy's shirt after he got home from work.. a little big but excited to be like dada! It's hard to think someday they will be wearing it! Parker has four teeth coming in at the top finally he has only had four teeth total. Now he can really start enjoying apples as they are so hard for him to eat. Brooke has a waddle walk that fits her sassy personality perfectly. She's really into dancing to any music she hears. Her words are really starting to come out as she really tries to say anything you tell her even though you can't understand them well. Parker pronounces his words perfect and has a few words down really well. It's crazy how they are just so different. Brooke still loves to tackle and hug Parker all the time. Parker is just so into his toys he doesn't have time for the mushy stuff unless it's mama. Every stage is a different challenge and just when you think you love a stage then you love the next one even more!
