Alright, so I have been meaning to update the blog for a few weeks and it just hasn't happened. Now that school started back for me I am finding it harder to keep up with things such as this. Well since last time I blogged we went on another road trip. My parents, Kristin, Halle, Hayden, Gabby, and I went to Orlando for a week and boy did we have a blast. We stayed at a resort this year that had three lakes and 13 pools on site. Plus it had putt-putt and many other activities so we were busy everyday with something. We also went to Downtown Disney, Seaworld, and a Pirate Dinner while there. It was amazing interacting with the animals at Seaworld. We fed dolphins, sea lions, and sting rays and got to pet the dolphins and sting rays. We also watched the "Believe" show with the killer whales...it gave me chill bumps! I really want to put one in our pool in the backyard. =)

Jason's brother, Steven, came into town last week to visit. We had a great time with him too. It have been a year and a half since seeing him and it was his first time to meet our little princess! We went to eat at a few local favorites around here and also got to go to New Orleans to see Jason and Steves Aunt Connie. As always, she and her friend,Claire, took us to an amazing place to eat. It was called "The Pepper Mill" and you could get about anything you wanted to eat. The food was all amazing and the kids both got to try something new. Hayden tried Calamari for the first time and thought he was eating Squidworth off of Spongebob and Petunia got to try Alfredo Sauce and of course fat girl loved it!

Oh I forgot we have also attended to parties in the past couple weeks that were so much fun-one was a Disney themed birthday party for my cousin and the other a baby shower for another cousin.

Alright some up and coming events for our family are:

1.) We are going to Orlando on September 10th for Disney's "Not So Scary Halloween Party". We are staying five days I think. We also plan on visiting a couple of the parks while there.

2.) Hayden is starting soccer-This will be his first sport to play on a team so we are all excited! I think I am going to get me a soccer ball for the back of the car that says "soccer mom"...oh yeah, how I've waited for that! =)

One last note before I go for now- I have a new niece!! Caitlyn Brooke arrived last Wednesday! Our family has had three girls in one year! How amazing is that!!
