Today we went to the doctor's and had an ultrasound. It was so neat to see the little arms and legs. He or she (troy has me calling it a he because he's convinced its a boy!) was moving all over the place. He even had the hiccups for a minute it was so cute. The pictures aren't great but the first one he has his hand over his face and you can kinda see his legs. The second picture you can see the face a little better. My official due date is now July 11th. Yes the same day my little brother is getting married...sorry Derek and Ash you might have to change your date:)






Last weekend we went to Disney's Magic Kingdom with some friends and they had the castle all decked out with Christmas lights. It looked awesome.

My little brother Derek just got engaged. I am so excited for them. They are getting married July 11th and this picture is what they sent out to everyone to save the date. Isn't it cute!! Congratulation you two. Ashley were excited for you to be in the family.

For Thanksgiving we went down to Key West and had a blast. On the way down we took a little detour to find Nick Hexum's island (he's the guy in Troys favorite band 311) Oh and if you want you can buy it right now for 10 million dollars.


This is when we were on one of the many bridges. Key West is the last island so they built these huge bridges to connect all of them. It was really cool (but kinda scary) to be on this little road and be surrounded by ocean.




We watched the sun set the first night we were there and Troy took lots of pictures. These two are my favorite... I love them!!









We took Cocoa (our dog) and it was great because everywhere including our hotel was dog friendly. So we didn't have to hide her like usual.

After dinner one night Troy thought it would be fun to climb a Plam tree.... so he did. Nobody got hurt but a cop drove by and he didn't look to thrilled:)


This is the most southern point of the United States. Only 90 miles to cuba!














We went on a train tour around the island and learned all the history. I thought it was going to be boring but I actually really enjoyed it. This was President Harry S Truman's "summer" White House in 1946.


This was the church in the Casino Royal Jame Bond movie.



This is the grave yard. They can't bury them because the water level is to high.




Our Hotel was right on the beach. It was "money" as Troy would say!!




You can't see it very well but this is mile marker 0.

Launch


We went to watch the Launch last night and it was amazing! We always go but they are usually during the day and this one was at 7:55p.m. so it was dark. The flame is 4 miles long so it just lit up the sky. I have a friend down in Palm Beach that said she even saw it and Palm Beach is 2 hours away! I tried to record it but you can't really see whats going on. Oh well check it out, it's still pretty cool.

IKEA

Troy has wanted a poang chairs from IKEA for ever but they are like $100 dollars and they are comfortable but defiantly not cute enough to spend that much money. Well he received a e-mail saying that they will give the first hundred people in line on Friday morning a free chair and free breakfast. So we went over at 9 Thursday night and camped out. It was actually really fun.
We watched the first 3 seasons of the Office and everyone around us were probably getting really annoyed because we were laughing all night.
I wished we had brought a tent like the people next to us because trying to sleep in a camp chair...not fun!!
The news people came at 4 in the morning and the lady asked me to hold this elephant while she was interviewing us. Cocoa made her self comfortable and fell right asleep.
They ended up interviewing us like 5 times because we were the second people in line. We were so tired and I'm sure looked great for the camera after that long night...!!

Halloween


Cocoa was a pirate for Halloween and her best friend Emma was a peacock. We took them to down town West Palm to show them off. It was really fun we ate at a dog friendly restaurant and then went and listened to the live bands that we there. When we were walking around we ran into some real pirates....ya not kidding everything they had on was real and they actually have a store were you can buy the all the antique stuff. Cocoa was terrified of them!!
