Oh my...

First football game of the season...

Syd's first last football game of her high school time :(

I'm telling you... she's a lover!

...Or a movie star (note the hat that is now in the atlantic ocean...with Aeriel)

What a day,

Ok, I'll admit it... I have a child that bites. I am sooooooo frustrated I can't see straight. She's my sweet little angel that has a problem. What to do?!? We have tried just about everything. She got sent home from school today....she's 2.5 years old!

Anyway, on a lighter note, yesterday we were at wal*mart and there was a young man who was putting up the carts that had an enormous fro...so Annabelle said, about 3 times, "Mommy he has CRAZY hair!"... oh my goodness, I was cracking up! She was right :) I wish I had a picture of his hair, it was quit out of control.

Catch up...

oh how I love the bathroom...



my little mouse

At the magic kingdom

Sweet dreams little one ;)

My favorite oompa-lumpa. Isn't he cute?!

Mickey loved on baby Partin

They all had their own unique poses :)

I can't figure out how to get this to work right...

Well, we made it back from Disney World and had a ton of fun. I can't say relaxing... except for the last few days. Disney kept us going...in fact, Annabelle skipped her naps 3 out of the 4 days we were there. She actually did VERY well! We spent the last 2 days at Melbourne beach with some wonderful friends that called on day 4 of Disney and asked if we would like to come early to their house, that they would love the company. We love them!! Disney had several scary moments for Annabelle. She can't tell the difference b/t real and pretend so I am still hating myself for some of the stuff we did... you know once you get on the ride, your committed! It's interesting how you never see the scary stuff until you have your 2yo there with you...screaming!

That was almost 2 weeks ago. Whoever said that 2 year olds don't remember... today when we were praying, she prayed that the pirates don't get her, and still wonders why the beach took her hat away. (I told her Aerial needed it for her collection...didn't go over too well) Kev and I set some rules before we left, first rule (of course) was to be patient with one another and not get grumpy when I had to go to the bathroom...which was after each individual event. It worked out well since Annabelle is potty training :) We got rained on only once, Kev kept me entertained with his Oompa-lumpa look. He had bought a nice rain pancho for this fishing and other activities awhile back but had never actually worn it until then. When he opened the pouch to put on the pancho, it was a large instead of XL, so we swapped. That is mine from when we went to a game years ago.

Update on pregnancy:

Today I measured on time and things are going nicely. He has me on every 2 weeks, baby's heartbeat is 150's... what do you think? Boy or girl?

Praying for great weather!!

We are leaving Wednesday for Disney world!! Woo-hoo....we think. There are several factors that would affect our plans. For one, the hurricanes, Hannah and Ike. Oh, how I hope they miss us. My friend said that her sister as well as several other Key West people have temporarily relocated to Orlando... luckily we have booked all our hotels (we have 3 different places we are staying). And two, we have a dr. appt tomorrow for Baby Partin and myself to make sure we are good to go!! Side note: Today Annabelle found a bag that Kev had put in her closet full of her baby things that were lingering in her room. She found one of her teething rattles and insisted that she was going to give it to her baby sister in two minutes... She repeated this even when Syd got home. Syd was quick to correct her, "Annabelle, you mean your baby brother?!" Then Annabelle said with great confidence, "This is for my baby sister!" One of them is right :)

Annabelle is sooo excited and ready to go to Disney. I bought a new princess book today so we could get to know a few more princesses before we go since we will be dining with them... it would be great to know "who" they are :) We would love prayers for us while we are gone for the weather and health and safety... oh and patience :) Also for Sweet Syd, staying behind doing tons of homework and a paper that is due on Monday. If anyone would like to volunteer their time to "proof" her paper, let me know ;) We are gone so she is a bit worried!

My newest project is 17 flags for Syd's color guard. I have them almost all cut out which is the easy part, sewing on the other hand... I'll put a pic on once I get one done, which is supposed to be tomorrow. I am chuckling to myself inside right now. Wish me luck and, again, if anyone has a sewing machine and wants to join me in a sewing circle, I would love the help!!
