Frost Shock!!!!!!!!

Hello mi familia!!! I miss you all so much. Thanksgiving is upon us and I can't help but feel a little down. It can be hard being so far away. I'm very thankful for my family and friends in Utah. I'm also thankful for my family and friends here in Florida. Not to mention very thankful for my husband (he's had to put up with me. LOL). My good health is also something to be thankful for.
How is everyone doing these days? Things are going well here. I haven't had a lot of work from my court reporter and I really want to go to school soon so I can get another client. With all that in mind my dad and I had a talk and he suggested that I look for an online scoping and editing course and I found one that sounds awesome and has had some rave reviews! It will only cost me $2325, but you get a lot out of the course and they are really in depth with their modules. If I feel that I don't get enough from their editing course then I can take a proofreading course through another site that only costs $330. If you add that all up it is cheaper then one year of school at a college. Then I can become a partner in my mom's company and I can get some more clients. Not to mention expand the company. I've very excited to be able to have the opportunity to do this.
Jake is doing well. Just waiting on his raise now. We are very excited because his mother will be flying down for Christmas this year. We are still running and we are running a family fun run with everyone tomorrow morning. We are also going to run a 5k in December. It feels so great to get out and do something together.
The fam is doing well. Cody and Josie are loving their week off. Can you believe that they get the whole week off for Thanksgiving here? I think that is awesome. To celebrate Jake took Monday off of work and we went kayaking with the family. We saw three big gators! It was AWESOME!!! We also saw a LOT of turtles. We want to go camping there sometime soon.
Ma has been uber busy with her clients. Pa is doing well. They are both resting and getting ready for the Space Coast Marathon that they are running on Saturday. Then they have one at the end of December and one in January... Yeah, they are crazy! LOL.
Well, I'm off to play some more WOW before dinner. I love you all terribly and miss you like crazy!!! Give hugs and kisses to everyone.

Cuppycake

Oh my gosh! Have you guys heard the song Cuppycake, if not you need to get on youtube.com and search for Cuppycake, click on the pic of the lil' girl it says"The original cuppycake video" I thought it was soooooo cute!
With Thanksgiving coming up I just want you to know how very thankful I am for a family like we have. A lot of people don't have a family as close as ours, and would die to! I love and miss you all!

Highlights of Florida

Before looking and reading scroll down and start with the picture of Josie and the boys and then work your way to this picture. Thought i would shake things up a bit and make it like a game!!(not because i'm an idiot). This is a picture of all my children aren't they beautiful. Kole is hiding behind Kyle. Not that you can see any of them real well but you know what they look like!! STAN AND LANA AND FAMILY, thank you so much for the wonderful time my kids say they want to go back to florida NOT for disney but to go play at your house!! The food was great, but the company was WONDERFUL!! we love you guys and didn't realize how much we miss you. love you always, charlotte and family.

Just had to brag for a minute!! This is my Grandson Talon. We also found out that I will be having a grand-daughter in March!! PINK! My boys had so much fun with him. He is such a good natured boy.

This is a pond directly in front of their home (feet in front)! We were looking for 'gators.

This is the front porch of Stan and Lana's home!! The inside is beautiful. I wish everyone could have been there, if you get a chance go and stay the food is great too!! :)

We went to Florida at the first of October. We had fun but our favorite time of the whole trip was going to the beach with Stan and Lana and all the kids. We also went to their home the next evening for a BBQ! It was so much fun to see their home and where they live. We all had such a good time relaxing and seeing each other. We also went to a lake by their home (right by) and watched the fire works from Disneyland! Then with flashlights we went hunting for alligators, no luck (whew!) I don't know how to post that well because this was suppose to be the first picture and note!!

nevermind....

errrr.....apparently that wasn't the only thing I missed...can you believe I'm a proofreader? Pathetic...don't let my clients know....

btw, lynnette

What word on your MRI? Just scrolled down through and somehow missed that one...i'm freaking a little bit...everything okay?

post halloween...:(

Okay, we think Josie had a tough time on her first holiday here. First it made her miss everyone back home because the big holidays are approaching. Very emotional...bouncing between tears and anger. And then, because there are so many different cultures here, they don't dress up or have parties or anything at school and a lot of her friends in class don't even celebrate it. She's a bit thrown off, I think. And we only had two kids come for candy...although we only got five our last year there, so...

Very excited about the ability to post video! Looking forward to posting around the rest of the holidays. The cool thing about that game, our team was playing two men short (three, when one player had a mini anxiety attack and couldn't breathe!) and the other team played a full roster and had five subs. They scored twice in the first five minutes and we thought for sure our boys, Mas Fuego, were about to lose their first game. But they dug in, held them and ended up beating them by two! It was AWESOME, the sweetest win yet. We were sitting next to the Latino delegation and you should have HEARD them when they didn't call the foul on Cody! "REF! REF! REF! We have it on tape, REF!" I have nothing on the Columbians...and anyone who has heard me at a soccer game knows what I'm saying...right, Lynnette? I thought we were going to get our butts kicked in the parking lot, though...haha!

Only have one word for the hunters...ew. But I'm glad no one was kicked around in the underbrush....and you'll have some tasty meals. The hiking and camping and family togetherness holds much for appeal for me.

Miss you guys like crazy...been staying busy and feel the holidays creeping up. Guess I'll continue to ignore it while I can. So somebody tell me what's going on...whose names do the kids have? When are you having your party? Are you doing couple gifts? Do I need to figure out the name exchange? I will, you know...just let me know...
