Recap of 2025 thus far......

 Well I got y'all up to 2025 with a little back track to Hurricane Milton.  Thus far this year has been ok we've had a few medical issues (of course we have) Sarah was in the hospital 2x for her tummy issues and is not quite right.  Jon gave us a scare and had to have a heart cath.  Thankfully it was clear/stable.  Shad moved into his own apartment with a roommate and has decorated it nicely (in a manly way) 



Molly out with me she loves to go!












Easter 2025











Sam often goes with me to see Selah







one of my favorite places in the world.  








Baby has quite a story I'll tell it sometime.  Right now he is in the teen years and driving us crazy lol





Pray for this boy!



I hate the motorcycle but he does look good on it!  He loves to ride



One of our caregivers was happy to work the 4th of July so we got to go out with just the "big kids" 
When a family has special needs children they have to make sure they still connect with their other children.  I will say Steve and Shad have always been so very understanding and I appreciate them for that.  But we always like to carve out time with all of them.  

This is the infamous Olive Garden where Jon and I had our first date almost 36 years ago!  Boy we had NO idea of all the times we'd take our growing family there days in the future:)



Then on to the movies where the dinosaurs made me scream and jump 




When we got home Sam demanded his daddy time :)  He is all about going out. 




Onwards to Taco Bell



Sarah was not feeling good that day but she posed a little for me




she had just got out of the hospital  Thankfully she had a turn around from that day forward.  She has had issues because of the malrotation of her small intestines and the slow mobility of her digestive system    That night I called her doctor and he offered to put her back in the hospital for the 3 rd time or letting me do a colon cleanse.  I hated to put her back in but I wasn't looking forward to the colon cleanse but we did and and survived.  It was the right thing to do and she has been better since then.







Epcot while Jon had a conference in Orlando









Then a summer cruise with my bestie and her hubby








It was hot as hades!

We took a cab into town and saw the local church




Then we walked down to the beach- see the ship in the background.... well just to the left of the picture there was a pipe coming out of the bank and raw sewage was pouring out.  the smell was horrible.  The worse thing was that up by the ship there is swimming and back behind us were several beach clubs!  So do not go swimming at Costa Maya!




Cozumel was better we walked some and got a cab to see the churches.  























We've stopped at both locations several times but either we had a exercision planned or we stayed on the ship.  But Jon and I like to explore off the beaten path.  It's a little cray but we see things most tourists don't see.  Usually it's magical but the raw sewage was an eye opener (and nose opener)  I'm never going swimming in places where I do not know what is around it!
