Morgan is 5 months old

I can't believe he is already 5 months old! Where has the time gone. His favorite thing right now is his toes. Every chance he gets they go straight in his mouth. He is currently eating them as I type. He also loves to play in his exersaucer, he plays on the ground, grabs for things and is really starting to like to sit on your hip when you carry him. He is getting so big so fast. Yesterday I had him in a 9 month outfit and it fit PERFECTLY!!! It's crazy!

I need a vacation from our vacations!!!

Well, we are back! Florida was a lot of fun, tiring but fun! We had an early flight out of St. Louis and got to Orlando at 10:30am. After getting our rental car and some food we headed off to SeaWorld. Both of the kids fell asleep in the car and we actually had to wake up Mason so he could see the animals. Mason loved all the animals and had a great time and Morgan tolerated the heat very well. After SeaWorld we headed out to Daytona Beach. We got stuck in some traffic, but that only lasted for about 30 minutes. Towards the end of our traffic fun, I realized we left Morgan's pack and play at the airport. Neither of us could believe we did it, and we decided that we would NOT be going back to get it since traffic was bad. I still can't believe we grabbed everything else and just left that! We got to Daytona and checked in, got to our room (which was huge and nice) and got the kids settled for the evening. The next day we took to boys to the beach and pool. Mason loved the water (as he usually does)and Morgan also liked the water. I put his toes in the ocean and he stood there and loved it. It was a bit windy and sand was everywhere (duh, I know) so we headed up to the pool area. Morgan liked the pool a lot better than the ocean so we hung out there for a bit longer. Amazingly enough that was the only day we went down there! A lot of our vacation was dictated by nap times. On Thursday we went to the Ocean Walk Village where there are some shops and got some t-shirts from this really cool store. The shirts look black and white, but when they are in the sun light it fills in with color. Then we ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. . It was raining that day so we headed back to the room and all napped until the evening. Since we were leaving the next day I cooked dinner and started some laundry while Mike took Mason on a late night swim in the pool. The next morning we got up left and was on our way out of Daytona. We stopped at Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse and it was very neat. We climbed to the top which was 203 steps! Mike was carrying Mason and I had Morgan. Needless to say we were both VERY sore from that, but I think it was worth it. Our next stop was Kennedy Space Center. Kennedy Space Center was probably the coolest thing we did on this vacation. There was so much to do that we didn't even manage to fit it all in. Had we not been leaving the next day, we would have went back for day two. After spending the day there we drove to Orlando, checked into the resort there. I had to drive to the airport to pick up the pack and play since they would not be open when we needed them to be at 5:30 am the next day. After I did that I came back, repacked bags got everything ready for an early morning wake-up of 4am. We got back into St. Louis at 9 am, came home and got ready for Mike's cousin Andrea's wedding.

It's all been crazy but we had a blast. I must say that I am glad it's over and am happy to get back to normal life again. With that said...normal life consists of decluttering this house and contacting a realtor so we can get this place on the market. Not so normal after all......

We're back.....but not for long!!!

Vegas was a blast! We had such a great time. Leaving the kids was easier than I had imagined, but it was still hard. I was very excited to see them when we got home. We got home on Thursday, then jumped right back into wedding stuff.

The wedding was last night and it was awesome. Jamie was beautiful, Steven was handsome and it seemed that everyone had a wonderful time. We had a sitter come help with the boys and she even brought them home and put them to bed for us. We were out a bit late and are very tired today, but it was fun and worth it.

That leads us to our next adventure. It is now Sunday and we are leaving Tuesday for Florida. That means I have a lot of stuff to get done and packed today and tomorrow. It will be busy leading up to it, but it will be so much fun. I am very excited to be taking the boys with us this time on our trip. I will update when we get back!
