Epcot

We had a good time at Epcot.  We spent time in Mexico, Italy, China, Canada, United States and Mars.  Favorite Rides/Expos:  Test Track, Mission Space, and Club Cool.  At Club Cool we drank sodas from around the world.  We ate pizza in Italy, flew a spaceship to Mars, road in a race car, watched movies about China and Canada and took a boat ride through Mexico.  It's been a busy day and we are ready to rest.

Medieval Times

We spent the evening at Medieval Times.  The show was great and Orlando has the only replica of a Medieval Village. 

Orlando Fun

We arrived at 12:30a.m on the 25th due to weather issues.  We were then shuttled to a car rental place but they did not have the van we reserved and had no vehicles to transport 8 of us.  So, back to the airport we went to try another car rental service.  We finally got a van, then drove to our hotel. We went to sleep around 3:30am.
Due to our long night and the time change we didn't wake up until 11am.  We then got ready and drove to the Wycliff Discovery Museum to learn about John Wycliff and his amazing impact to the world in the translation of the Bible into English.  This then encouraged the translation of the Bible I to over 700 languages.

Happy Father's Day, Dad!!!

I have been blessed beyond words with a father that loves and cares for me unconditionally!  I know this is rare and I am so thankful today for the man that I get to call daddy.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO MY AMAZING HUSBAND!!!




It's hard to explain the respect and love I have for my husband.  He not only is the best husband but he excels as much as a father.  I never hear him complain about the amount of energy, time or money it takes to be a parent.  He loves this job and is so involved in our kids lives.  No task, (whether it be diaper changes, middle of the night feedings or activities that require lots of time, ) is too much for him.  We work as a team.  He leads our family in the fear and admonition of the Lord.  My kids have been given an exceptional father.  We love you, Jason!

Happy 14th Birthday!!!

Dallas received 2 birthday celebrations this year.  The first was a Father/Son shooting and BBQ party at a friend's home who owns 60 acres and has a shooting range.  The second celebration was with family at our home.  We ordered pizza and Nana made Reese's Peanut Butter Icecream Cake.  Gifts received were:  a pellet gun, glider ride, t-shirts, drone, money and lots of love from his friends and family.  Dallas, we are so proud of you and can NOT believe that you are 14 years old.  We love you so very much.

ROCstock 2015

Dallas attended an overnight trip with CAP to ROCstock, a rocketry training and demonstration event.  Dallas got his rocketry badge for attending. 



CAP Promotions

In order for Dallas to be promoted to the next rank in CAP, he passed a Leadership Test, Aerospace Test, Fitness (run a mile in under 9 min 23 sec, pushups, situps), Drill Test, and  Review Board.  His new title is Cadet Staff Sergeant C/SSgt. 


Knotts Berry Farm

It has been 6 months since we got our  Knotts Berry Farm seasonal passes.  We have been consistent with going once a month and our group has increased as more friends have heard about our fun experiences.  Buying these passes has been a very positive experience for our family.  It gives us something to really look forward to each month and we don't feel like we have to go on everything each time, as we know we can come back.  Brayden gets the Most Improved Award as he has shown courage in trying rides that he was very scared to ride on.  He started out only riding on Jaquar and now he goes on all the major rides.  This park has something for everyone and I would highly recommend it.
