We have been so busy with LIFE that it was time we all got away and had some fun! We started out going to Miami for our yearly trip. Click for pictures. I went with the kids and Kelsey (Kayla's best friend) and had a great time. We started out at Mima's house and got to visit with her and Paca Paca. Turner was so happy to see them! He played and giggled with them til late! He loves Mima's "super toilet" and big beautiful bathtub, ha ha! I had to tell him she had a "super toilet" so he would go potty somewhere else besides his house. Then when we went to Mimi 2's (my aunt) house, he was excited to see she had a super toilet too! Funny what kids focus on :) We had a good time with Mima, she took them shopping, going to Fuddruckers for dinner, walking around Pembroke Gardens, watching movies and just hanging out spending girly time. We also went to Mimi 2's house and got to see my cousins and my uncle which is always fun. Turner and Kassidy went in their pool while my cousin Eddie and his girlfriend Jessica took Kayla and Kelsey to South Beach. When they got back we had some pizza and hung out until late. Paca Paca, as usual, makes us all laugh and our nightly cafe con leche...yummy! Can't wait to see them again!
After we spent a few days with Mima and Paca Paca, we went to Granny & Papa's house.When we were here last time, we weren't able to spend time with them because Papa was in the hospital but thank God he is doing better and looks great! Turner had fun playing with Granny's box of toys. We played Phase 10 with Granny and Papa and of course...ATE a bunch! We all probably gained a few pounds :) We also went to Hollywood Beach with Nikki and Tim. They are always so much fun and we are always laughing about something! Michael, Taylor and Wyatt are hilarious and they keep us cracking up all the time. Turner and Kassidy had so much fun playing with the kids. Dinner with them was great and I miss them so much and wish we still lived close to them. Kassidy and Turner loved the beach. Turner stayed in the water most of the time with the boat floatie Papa bought him. The rest of the week I took the girls sightseeing: University of Miami Bookstore
(got some school supplies), Coconut Grove, South Beach and pretty much most of Miami. The kids got to swim and hang out at Vick and Don's house too :) The burgers and hotdogs they made were super yummy!! Miss everyone already :)
One of my favorite parts of my trip was being able to visit with my friend Claudia! I haven't seen her since Kayla was 1 month old. We both went to the same school, cheered together and have known each other for a long time. Kayla enjoyed talking to her too about how things were when we were growing up and learning about life as a teenager. She is beautiful inside and out and can't wait to see her again too! I got to meet her 3 beautiful children and her husband; she has a beautiful family!

Then it was time to come home, unpack, wash clothes, pack again and go to Disney for the week for Turner's birthday! Click for pictures. In usual Disney style, they greeted him with Birthday buttons and balloons. He was so excited! Our first night we just swam in the pool and relaxed, then we hit the ground running the next morning. We were up early every morning and stayed up 'til midnight just about every night trying to take advantage of Extra Magic Hours. I have to say it was worth it! Hardly any wait and less crowds. The girls said they don't remember anything about having gone to Disney before so it was new for all 3 of them. Turner was overwhelmed by everything but I do have to say that he LOVES Mickey Mouse. I think the highlight was having breakfast with Winnie the Pooh and Friends at the Crystal Palace inside the Magic Kingdom. They had the special center table decorated with confetti and being that it is the birthday table, the characters come to Turner first. To see Turner's face when the characters came up to him was priceless! 
When we went to Epcot, we got to take pictures with Mickey and all his friends. Turner had a ball with all of them. Like with anything else, all good things must come to an end :( We had a wonderful time and Turner asks me every day if we are going to Disney World! He thinks that because today is his real birthday, we are going back. I wish we could!One more important thing...today is my little guys 3rd birthday. I can't believe how fast time has passed. It has been fun having a little boy and watching him interact with his two sisters. He loves us and we love him bunches! Life is definitely not boring with a little boy in the house :) Now the next phase starts...he starts pre-school on August 22 and he is very excited to start. Every time we pass his school, he screams "That's my school!" I will definitely update you on that!
I am extremely blessed and lucky to have the life that I do!
