Merry Christmas

Avery's teacher wanted me to come and take a picture of her Kindergarten class. I help her every Monday in the classroom and have enjoyed meeting all of Avery's friends. They are such a great group of kids!

Garmin Forerunner 305

So now that Christmas is coming up I decided that I would post my favorite thing, in case any of you out there need any ideas. It's the Garmin forerunner 305. Kev gave it to me for Mothers Day and it is honestly the best gift I have ever gotten. So if there is someone out there that is really special on your list, you might want to consider this.

This has helped me in so many ways when I am running. Not only does it tell you what speed you are going, your elevation, how many miles you have completed, your heart rate and the elapsed time, but when you are done it shows you the map of where you ran or biked or whatever you choose to do. It also counts calories and lets you be alarmed for mileage, heart rate or pace. Everything can download to your computer and help you set up goals or workouts. It's definitely my favorite gift I ever got from Kevin and I would die if I lost it. You can buy it on Costco.com, which is my favorite place to buy anything because of their great return policy.

Space Coast Half Marathon

So this weekend I did a Half Marathon with my run club. I know you probably think I am crazy because I did it pregnant but my Doctor gave me the OK because I have been running long before I got pregnant so my body is used to it. I had signed up before I was pregnant and I knew this is the last race I would be doing with them for a while. Anyways, I had a lot of fun. I don't know what I would do with out these girls. They have become some of my closest friends in Orlando. We have so much fun together and all because we all started to run with the running club at the YMCA.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! Yes I know it's cheesey but I found these Indian costumes for under 5 bucks at Joann's after Halloween and I thought they would be cute for Thanksgiving. It was worth it because my kids were so excited.

We went over to my parents for a game of Kickball right before our feast.

After Thanksgiving dinner everyone took a typical Thanksgiving snooze. Gotta Love it!

So I do have an exscuse as to why my blog hasn't been updated. Can you believe I am a future Mom of 3? I have been sicker than usual with this one and have been exhausted. Kevin has been awesome helping out around the house and with the kids, I can't thank him enough. He is such an amazing husband and father. I am so grateful to have him! So this Thanksgiving I am most thankful for my Husband and wonderful children for putting up with me everyday over the last three months! Love you guys!

Trick-or Treat

OK so I know it took me forever to FINALLY post pictures of Halloween, but better late than never right? My goal was before Thanksgiving. It looks like I barely made it.

We decided to go as pirates this Halloween. Kevin dressed up as Dwight from "The Office" for his work party and then joined the Pirate crew for the evening. I still need to get pictures of his Dwight costume, so more to come. This Halloween Genise (Kev's sister, her husband Matt and their two kids Zoe and Wyatt came to visit, along with Kev's parent's Tim and Pat. We went Trick or treating in Celebration, where my parents live. Everyone goes crazy for Halloween so it's fun to see all the decorations. Check out the picture of the House someone made into a pirate ship. I was in awe. We had a great time.

Owen Christopher Osorio

Yes he finally has a name. Owen Christopher Osorio. I was a slacker and should have posted this a week ago. Oops! It's amazing how fast newborns change in just one week!

New Baby Osorio

My brother Ryan and his wife Tori just became proud parents of their new little guy!

October 14, 2007 2:58 P.M.

7 lbs 4 oz and 19 Inches long

Everything went well. He doesn't have a name yet, but we'll keep you posted! Avery and Boston are so excited to have a cousin on the Osorio side! Congrats you two! He's darling and we love him so much!

Green Meadows Farm

This weekend we ventured with the Fazio Family to Green Meadows Petting Farm. It's the closest you're going to get to a real Pumpkin Patch in Orlando (most are at churches on the front lawn). We had a great time. Avery and Boston loved getting up close and personal with the animals and got of kick out of chasing and catching the ducks and chickens. The pumpkin Patch at the end of the farm was great. Avery had to have the perfect pumpkin and Boston just wanted to jump on top of them. It's always fun to share experiences like this with friends. We had a great time.

Kayaking Trip

So I have been slacking on posting lately, I promise it should get better. That being said here we go...

So all of you who only think of Orlando as an Amusement Park frenzy, if you ever decide to visit, you should definitely consider Kayaking.

I had know idea what fun we were in for when we started our adventure. When we first ventured out we went around a little island. While we were going around the island there were dolphins that would jump around us (yes they were about 20 ft away but it was still great), not close enough to play but still very cool.

The best part of the trip was going to a little area where Manatees like to hang out. I have always had a soft spot for these friendly water giants but being able to touch and play with them was something I thought I would never do. These animals are illegal to touch unless they come to you first. Our guide let us know that if you tap the water lightly they would come up and touch you first. It was truly amazing. We were able to see a mom and baby manatee. There was also one that fell in love with our good friend Tommy and followed him everywhere. It would spin in circles when Tommy was petting him. I wish I brought my video camera, but we only dared bring a little disposable camera from fear of breaking another camera (in Hawaii our camera fell into the water and was ruined) My only regret was that I wish I would have brought my kids because they would have loved it. Next time right?
