I have a ridiculous amount of pictures from this trip so I am grouping them, the first group will be that of our whole family in the photo. Then in the days to come I will put pictures of Brax and Joz on other days in some of our fun activities!

DISNEY WONDER-FUL

We just returned from our Disney vacation and cruise, and it was truly amazing! We first began our adventure at the parks. The first day was Animal Kingdom, next day came Magic Kingdom, and then onto Seaworld for the third day and on the last day we did a combination of Disney Parks, had to go back to Animal Kingdom to eat at the Rainforest Cafe (YUM) and watch the Nemo musical and then finished at Magic Kingdom! It was then time to get on the Disney Wonder cruise ship! It is the greatest most magical thing ever, I love cruises! The kids did really well, considering naps in the stroller or none at all and going none stop! Plus they got spoiled pretty bad by Grammie and Grandpa. The Bahamas were a bit breezy, but the temperature was a balmy 80+. We got to tour Nassau for a day where Brax and I got to dance with the Flamingos and hold parrots and tour the city. Then it was onto Disney's private Island, Castaway Cay-my most favorite place to be a beached whale. There is a quick rundown for you all, once I go thru the millions of pictures I will post! Now it is back to reality and cold weather, yuck!

Getting pumpkins!

Orchards are always a treat and lately we have been touring many of them. We picked out our pumkpkins here and they also had a petting zoo, it was great fun! Joz loved the, "bocka, bocka's," (chickens incase you don't speak the toddler foreign language). Brax just likes to see the animals, but not touch them!

SUPERHEROES!

This Halloween was SUPER literally! Brett was a reluctant Batman, Brax was Spiderman, Joz was Super Girl and I was Spiderwoman! It was great fun! I always try to have a family theme, so we will see how long I can get away with it! We had great fun on Friday as Brax got to wear his costume to preschool and then Joz and I joined him in costume for the parade! Then we of course had the ward party that night. I love going to those business' that get into the spirit of Halloween...Saturday Brax and I went to the farmers market and he got to trick or treat there, as well as everywhere else we went that morning, so that was an added bonus for him! Then after cold trick or treating Saturday night we went to a party with some close friends, and it was great fun! Brax spent most of the night outside jumping on the tramp in the cold, and Joz playing Hello kitty and tea party! It was great! Sunday morning came with a vengeance with 9:00 church, at least we got an extra hour and we were still late!

Happy Halloween!

Three's company-boy, girl and a...................

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so very excited after hearing the news today that we will be welcoming a healthy baby girl into our family in March! I am now 20 weeks along and feeling much better. We had not told our kids yet and so when Brax saw the T.V. screen and connected what was happening he was so excited! He said,"Mommy, you have a baby in your tummy?" He could only just look at me in shock, it was priceless. He was especially thrilled to find out it was another baby sister. He immediately turned to Joz and told her that she was going to have a baby girl just like her. He then continued to let us know that we should name her Jozalyn again, cause that is my best sister's name. He is so sweet! If Joz only knew what was going on, I am really not sure how she would react. I am grateful that baby girl is healthy and for Joz to have a princess buddy. Brax is in for a lot of drama!
