Morgan's 5th Birthday party

Morgan's birthday is in one week and she will be 5 years. She is such a beautiful little girl inside and out. She is always so fun and happy, making a smile come to your face when you are around her. I am so blessed and so grateful that she is in our family.

Tonight we had Morgans Birthday party at a bounce house place called Fernandina Party and Play.

We went to this fun place where she had her friends come and play with her. It was a great time, she was SO happy the whole entire time! It was one of those nights, you knew she was truly happy, and her smile made you smile. I am so glad she had a great party. She deserves it.

This was a big slide... they all loved it!

Happy Birthday Morgan!





(Now for my rant about this place...)
Although the kids had a blast- the owner of this place was not a very honest person when it came time to paying for the party. I will NOT be taking the kids back. He totally scammed his way into more money at the end of the party.... and there was not really anything I could have done to prove him wrong.

In the end... Morgan had a blast and I guess for tonight- that is all that matters!! I am only posting this rant because I am hoping locals will be reading this and will not EVER host a party there.

Orlando Trip

A week and a half we took the kids down to Orlando for Valentines Day. We had a blast going to IKEA (my favorite store), great restaurants, staying in a hotel over night and then to Sea World. We had a great time spending the weekend with each other and enjoyed our time together.

This ride took them up pretty high, then dropped them. Aydin loved it!!

Her first ride in almost 2 years.... she was so proud of herself!

Aydins Birthday

Well- this is almost a month after his birthday..... Could I slack any more than I have been at this blog???

On January 21st, Steve and I took Morgan, Aydin and 3 of his friends took a trip to the circus for Aydin's birthday. They had a great time!! Since his birthday was the next day, his friends all slept over and spent the day with him. He then had the rest of his friends that did not go to the circus with us over for pizza and cake. He had a great birthday filled with friends and fun!

Lunch on his birthday....

I am so grateful Aydin is a part of our family. I cant believe he is 7 years old already! What a blessing he has been to our lives. Aydin is such a sweet, caring and loving child. We love you!
