Bulow and Tomoka state parks

  A couple weekend ago we went to some state parks in Ormond beach and it was a wonderful day. Bulow state park had the remnants of a old sugar mill  that was burnt  by Native Americans. It was really neat to see how easy we have things now all because of technology.

 Daddy and the kiddos caught some lizards. Abi was not really sure how she felt about them. She is my little girl.

 On the hunt. Harris said" here lizard lizard.... I am gonna get you"

  Daddy and the kiddos climbed some trees.

  We found this hallow tree trunk. As you can see Harris was fascinated.

  Daddy reading the old facts about the sugar mill.

  Then we were off to Tomoka park. There was NOTHING there expect for this cute little turtle that decided that he was going to nipple on my brace.

 I LOVE this man!!!!

 By the end of the day we were sooooo hot and tired but all of us were in complete bliss. It was a great day we are glad we have such a great daddy and hubby who takes us on fun days.

Abi is a kindergartener

  Last Tuesday was a sad sad day in the Jammes home. My little Boo graduated from pre-school. It was so dang cute and she was so dang beautiful.  The day before  My mom and Abigail went just the 2 of them (which it the best... Mam-Maw all  to yourself ) Abi was thrilled! They came back with this cute dress, shoes, and of course a flower for her hair.

  Then we were off to go graduate. It was sad because daddy was out of days to take off work. He used them up when I had the surgery so he was bummed and so were we that he missed it. We were the first ones in the class room and my heart broke a little. No more names, cubbyholes, art work, or seats. It was empty.

   Once they finally came in we were thrilled to see this cute girl with her finger on her lip.

  Next they sang some super cute songs..... her teacher was literally amazing and graduation lived up to how wonderful she is and how much she loves the kiddos!

 Mrs Staab gave her a certificate, she shook some hands, and was next to me before I could even breath.

 Then she got a glimpse down the aisle and spotted EVERYONE. The cutest par was whent she walked down hugging everyone and Grumps stopped her and whispered in her ear something that had her smiling from ear to ear.

  The whole gang.... we took up a whole pew bench and they are super long.

  It was a year that went  by so fast I still have no idea where the time went. I can not believe that she is going to be in kindergarten. I can not believe it. I remember holding her in the hospital thinking kindergarten feels like we are a eternity away. Now  here it is. I am thrilled for the summer and all the fun we will have and I am looking forward to every minuet of it. I love you Boo! Everyday you make me feel like  the luckiest mommy ever.

Titus Rex

 Last week we went to my 2cd childhood home.... Wolfson children's hospital. My sweet and very curious little nephew stuck something up his little nose and it only could retrieved by some good sedation and a sweet doctor. What was it you ask?  A piece of a nerf gun bullet....of course. Boys are so crazy. He is well and like new.

SeaWorld Trip

DAY 1

  My parents treated all our families to a overnight trip to seawaorld for mothers and fathers day. It was blast!  OUR first stop was the temple. It was in all honesty a amazing experience just being there with family and for the first time feeling hope and possibility that one day I really could stand inside the celestial room with both my siblings.

 Robbie and his Kiddos

 All the kids together

 My Family

Then we were off to the hotel to get our swim on. We were like fishes.

Day 2 

Off to Sea world we went

Mam-Maw and PaPa

  Ready set go......

f  

First stop the

STRING RAY BAY

  Abigail loved it we had to hold her tight to keep her from falling in. She was the Manta ray whisper. They all came over to her. It was cool to watch as she did something I NEVER would have thought she would do. HARRIS on the other hand would not even stick his hand in the water. I was stunned!

 THEN CAME THE DOLPHINS.......

 ......AND THE DOLPHIN SHOW

 .....THE BOYS FAVORITE "THE SHARKS"

 

......A BREAK

 ......SHAMU

.......THE RAIN

 ....MY FAVORITE THE POLAR BEAR EXHIBIT

 ..... TIME TO GO AND 1 SLEEPY 2 YEAR OLD

     THE BEST PARTS :

*Watching Abi with the sting rays

* watching the kids and my parents.... I am know sure who had more fun the kids or them.

* Robbie's Pep- talk when I was having a melt down. ( I had to go in the wheelchair and I could not sit with my kids during the show ......frustrating). Robbie came and sat with me and said " sadness is a useless emotion". I could not believe that was MY brother.

* Aaron and his  wheelchair skills.... running down hill in the rain and maneuvering threw crazy people.

* being at the temple with my WHOLE FAMILY. 

* the car ride home... dad speeding, Aaron taking his sweet time while holding my hand, and over 2 hours of just chatting with my hubby.

THANKS MOM AND DAD FOR A TRIP THE JAMMES WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!!!
