Florida!!!! Vacation!!!!


















As you can see, vacation was a wonderful time for all of us, adults included!!! Grayson is a lucky boy!!! :) What wonderful memories to share as a family with Grayson's Grandparents!! Grayson's Uncle Dan and Aunt Vonnie from Florida even came up to visit with us all for a few days! Grayson enjoyed playing with them.
Next time we go, Baby Mathias will be able to enjoy all the fun also! Grayson even got to meet The Little Einstein's. He has been watching that show since he was a little baby. We like the music to it. He also met Goliath (the Lion from Jo Jo's Circus). Last but not least, what's a visit to Disney without a family photo with Mickey and Minnie!!! :)

Who's the leader of the club ....












Mickey Mouse!!! Grayson knows that song by heart now!! We made it back from vacation but have the Mickey Mouse blues. I am really proud of Grayson. He did so great on the flight! He was such a big boy. Lots of firsts for Grayson on this vacation, first plane ride and bus ride and boat ride!! What a big boy. We had such a blast. We stayed the the Disney Beach Club with Grandpa and Grandma. The weather couldn't have been any more perfect. Sunny every day but one day it rained in the the afternoon. That's pretty good for Florida!! Now the humidity was really thick especially for this time of the year but can't complain!! Grayson ate breakfast with Minnie Mouse, Goofy and Chip the next morning after we arrived. He really got into all the characters. He wanted them to sign his autograph book and get a picture! He also got to eat dinner with the Playhouse Disney gang. Marc and I had a wonderful time watching Grayson get so excited!!
The pool at our resort was unbelievable!! It was like a beach but so much better!! It also had a lazy river in it. While we were there, we went to Disney World, Animal Kingdom and MGM Studios. Grayson met so many fun characters!!! We have so many wonderful memories!! Grayson really enjoyed the water park too! We went to Blizzard Beach. Out little dare devil went down water slides over and over! At Blizzard Beach, they have an area just for tots with slides and all! You know Disney, nothing but the best no matter where you go!
While at Animal Kingdom, Grayson met Pooh, Tiger Eore and Piglet. He hugged and kissed all of them! It was just adorable! Grayson was a guys guy on this vacation. He wanted Daddy and Grandpa nonstop!!! It was funny watching them all walk in a row together. Grayson played at the pool at our hotel resort every day!! They had fun pool games and dancing he really got into. I know our family has really been looking forward to this vacation for a long time and sharing it with Grandpa and Grandma was even better!! Hope you enjoy the photos and yes, we can't wait to return.

Also, baby Mathias is doing great!!! Tossing and moving all around. I am now a little over 4 months now!!! We are all counting down!!! :)

God is watching over us!!!




Well, God has been very busy on our end of the line. About a month ago, Grayson and I were in a horrible accident. We were going to my parents house to go out for dinner and taking the back roads as we always do. We were crossing a very dangerous intersection (it always has been) but I am always very careful there! We were just about across when another car hit us from the side and made us skid and flip over. It was very frightening!!! Needless to say, we made it with just a few scratches!!! It truly was a miracle!!! Grayson was fine and so was I. Everything happened so fast, I had forgotten for a moment I was even pregnant. After getting Grayson home and settled with Daddy, I went to the hospital with my mother and sister for an ultrasound to make sure the baby was safe and sound.


We had to buy another car which is fine considering the damage our car took and to walk away unharmed!! Later that week, we went to follow up Dr. appointments. Life got a little crazy there for a moment. We are all very thankful and know how blessed and lucky we really are. Now I am hoping Grayson will forget about it, he hasn't yet.
