Quick Re-cap


Okay to start off, Ben is NOT fishing and is most likely not smiling at the moment.  He is studying at the school keeping up on his classes (So that we can someday buy this mega-yaght 'Four Wishes')  Yeah, right, google it when you get a chance... we're talking $60 million PLUS!!  Where do people get that kind of money!  But we do enjoy seeing them up close.
Holdyn is doing what she does best...... just being adorable and into mischief.  One of her new favorite things is to get a hold of the end of the toilet paper and run and see how much she can get before I rip it off.  Then she uses what she has to wipe the mirror or floor.... she is quite the little helper.
As for me, Rachel and I went and had much needed massages yesterday.  We both received gift certificates from our great hubby's at the same day spa.  So I had the pre-natal and enjoyed it VERY MUCH!!! We're still walking every morning and feeling pretty dang good.


Holdyn spends her spare time playing with this great game.... Elefun.  It is a little elephant with about a 5 ft. trunk that blows out butterflies that Holdyn can run around and catch with her net. She LOVES it!  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Palmer!
We also made it to the SXM Zoo a few weeks ago.  It is quite small and full of random birds and a few other animals, but fun to get out nonetheless.  One of her favorite features is the playground we play on after we see the animals.  She especially loved the dolphin swing.  

Here we are in the Reptile cave.... it consists of about 8 snakes... we are next to the python.  
One of the other favorite features is the 8 zillion random peacocks running around loose. Yes they were going through the playground and picnic area when this one decided to strut it's stuff.  We stayed as far away as we could though.... except to take a couple pictures.... aren't these birds supposed to be mean?  I didn't want to take any chances!
Here is another picture I just got from Stephanie of the Dinner Cruise.  This is the group of us that went.  L to R  Stephanie, Brandon, Cody, Rachel, Me and Ben.  It was sure a great night!
We also called a friend Hanna, when we went by her apt complex.  She has a great view and took some fun shots of the boat for us.  In this one we are the group on the front (Left) of the boat.   Thanks for the pics Hanna!  

We're doing great and are hoping to find out if it is a boy or girl in 2 more weeks.  I have to mentally prep myself for each pre-natal appt.  But, things are going great soo far!

It was a Happy Valentine's Day!!

We had a great Valentine's Day!  Holdyn and I went to a Valentine Party put on by some friends while Ben was at School.  There were a lot of girls there and it was very fun to see them all!




Here are Stephanie and Rachel and me (I'm the chubby one on the right) just before the rain hit. It was great to go out with them!
This is me and my Valentine!  I love you Ben!!

It is official, I am strictly to take the pictures and avoid being in them at all costs!  Objects in photo's are Larger than they appear :)  
Okay in my defense I am 21 weeks pregnant and I'm excited to say I've been walking at least 2 miles every morning with Rachel... and I've only gained 1 lb since I found out I was pregnant.... I've still got plenty of butt and thigh to go around, but hey, hopefully I don't gain another 60 lbs with this kiddo!  Okay, I'm done for now......

We hope you all had a Happy Valentine's day too!

Holdyn and the cheeseballs




We went down to the beach this morning..... it has been awhile since we've been.  Anyway, Holdyn got this cute green swimming suit from our great friend Rachel. Thanks Rachel!!!  So we had to go and try it out.  We decided to take some cheeseballs for a snack.  You can buy huge barrels of cheeseballs here and we usually have one on hand.  Anyway, Holdyn loves the cheeseballs and she also loves sand and salt water. So she'd have a cheeseball, dipped in the seawater and rolled in sand.  YUMMY!  Anyway, she had a cheeseball in her mouth or in her hand almost the entire time we were there.
