June 21st!!

That's the date that we find out what we are having!  I am getting so excited.  I'm feeling the baby more now and I'm growing of course.  I will take a picture in the next little bit to show the growth.  Work is going okay.  Didn't get the job but I'm moving forward.  Looking for every chance to get better and grow.  Will keep you updated and vote on what you think we are going to have!!

Florida Trip

So my parents gave all of us a wonderful gift and flew us all the Florida, rented a beach house and gave us a great vacation.  I believe my Mom said this was the first time in 6 years that we all were together on a trip.  So Kayla did pretty good on the plane ride, she loved take off and landing.  In her words "we go super fast!!"  The beach was just beautiful!  White sand, shells, warm water and plenty of sun.  Kayla didn't want anything to do with the waves and we didn't get her into the water until Friday when the waves really died down.  It was really hot plus humidity.  The heat would actually make me very sick so I got a lot of rest on this trip.  Kayla loved being the only kid on the trip and all of the attention that came with that.

 

The beach was only a short walk away and we made it at least once a day if not more.  Kayla loved the sand and her Dad and Uncle  Bryan made pretty cool castles and other things to keep her entertained.

 

The pool!  Oh my goodness Kayla loved the pool!  She would have stayed in that pool the whole trip if we would have let her.

 

Alright and just for you guys here is a picture of my growing belly.  This was just 13 weeks so I popped out really fast with this one.  The swimsuit didn't help my hide it either.

 

So we had a great time and one day we went to Disney World which is my previous entry.  But it was great having everyone together and to get away.

Animal Kingdom Adventure

So I was pretty excited about taking Kayla to Animal Kingdom.  We were lucky and did the give a day get a Disney day promotion.  So we got free tickets to go!  So of course that made it even more fun for me.  Well we got up nice and early so we could be there for when the park opened since it was a 2 hour drive from where we were staying.

About an hour into the trip we had a lovely surprise, Kayla threw up.  It was horrible!  She was miserable and I couldn't help clean it up because it kept making me gag.  Well we got it all cleaned  up and Kayla didn't have a temp so we decided to give it another try, I mean free tickets to Disney World why not try.  It ended up just being motion sickness because she did fine the rest of the way. 

She was super excited when we got there and had to ride the tram to the front gate.  What a fun ride.  She just kept telling everyone that we were at Animal Kingdom, more like yelling it.

We went straight for the safari ride and lucky for all of us the line wasn't very long and they have entertainment in the line so Kayla did well.  She loved the ride and it was really entertaining for all of us.  Check out how close all the animals get and how cool this ride is.  You really feel like you are on a safari. 

Well Kayla did super good the whole day.  No major break downs and she really enjoyed the park.  We loved it and had so much fun.
 
We did the show "It's tough to be a Bug".  She thought the glasses where pretty cool.  She liked most of the show not the part when Hopper showed up but in all she liked it.
 
Her favorite ride was a ride that is just like the Dumbo ride but it's dinosaurs.  We rode it multiple times and she loved that she could control making it go up and down. 

 

It was a long day and my poor ankles became swollen from being in the hot sun and on my feet all day.  So today is going to be a lazy day to rest and I had a chance to blog about our fun filled day.

Oh on a rather funny note, we went to Olive Garden that night on the way home and my brother Bryan tried to show Kayla a magic trick about making his fork disappear. I will upload the video of her version of her magic trick it is so cute!   She was very proud of her self if you can't tell.

Birdie in the BBQ!

So Graydon loves to BBQ and today he wanted to BBQ.  Well he went outside to start the grill and when he opened the top a bird flew out and scared him to death!  This is what he found.  A huge nest!  there were even five little blue eggs in there.  The poor bird didn't know what to do and just kept coming over to look.  We left it open and hopefully they will move soon.  Kayla loved looking at the eggs and the birdie.  She was watching out the window for the longest time.

Nervous!

Okay so I have been working for KinderCare Learning Centers for two years now and I have been working towards becoming management.  Well I am currently interviewing for an Assistant Directors position and I couldn't be more thrilled.  This would help us out so much because then I would get a discount in the infant room for when the new baby comes on the scene plus then i would be progressing and achieving a long term goal of mine.  The second interview is tomorrow and I feel prepared but I still get nervous.  But there is another little thing that is making me even more nervous.  There is two of us interviewing and the other girl is one of my good friends at the center I am currently at.  We both would benefit from this greatly and I can see how we both would do a good job so it is pulling me in two directions.  I really REALLY want the job but I don't want to feel bad if she gets the job.  So all of this is compounding into great nerves!  So I'm am really trying to put everything into the Lord's hands and to just do my best.  So here I go and I will let you all know what happens. 

Easter

Well first off we started with dying Easter Eggs!  This was Kayla's first time and she did wonderfully!  She loved every egg and wouldn't let me do any of them!  The only thing we had a problem with was that she didn't put the eggs in the dye very gently and all the eggs ended up being cracked.  But she had a great time so it was well worth it! 

The next morning the Easter bunny hid Kayla an extra special gift!  Yep a tricycle!  She loved it!  We are still working on peddling and she prefers to just scoot around pushing off the ground with her feet but she loves it.  She will get it someday but she loves her new bike.  

Speaking of new stuff we are getting ready for a big trip to Florida with my family.  Well I took Kayla to a store called Kid to Kid.  It's all gentle used clothing.  Well I found this swimsuit for her for $3!  I love it and she does too if you can't tell by the pose!  2 weeks and counting until Florida and a much needed vacation!

The chair incident...

So I have gotten a beautiful new glider rocker and love it.  Well so does Kayla and has labeled it as Mommy and Kayla's chair.  The other day I went to the bathroom and came back to this.

Yes that is pen all over my new chair.  Well luck for me and Kayla with some carpet cleaner it came off really easily and looks just like new.  Well lets just say we had a big talk about coloring only on paper after this.
