Big 25!!

Thanks to all of you to who joined us for my Birthday Dinner.

Josh was nice enough to put together a dinner party for me and all my good friends throughout the years. We had (left to right) the Parkers: Dave, MaryAnn & Anna - Stonehockers: Joe, Lindsay & Izaiah - Woolseys: Bryce, Christi & expecting little girl - Runyans: Randy & Katelyn - Andras: Josh, Me, Drake & expecting twin boys - Ensigns: Ryan & Natalie. We missed the Cranes who were off on a fishing trip.

Thanks again!! You guys are such great friends! So glad we've been able to stay close throughout the years! Love, Nicole!

Seven Peaks

We went to Seven Peaks last Friday with our Good Friends Tasha and her little girl Korbyn. The kids had such a great time! We could hardly keep them close enough, long enough to take their picture. They just wanted to go off and play.

Thanks for going with us ~ love you both!!

Oh Boyz!!!

Well - Doctors have confirmed it.... Josh and I are having

2 more Boys!!

We were both quite shocked. Almost everyone we talked to thought they were girls, including myself, but to our great surprise, God has blesses us with 2 more beautiful baby boys. I keep joking that God is building up his army for the last days right within our own home.
Here are our latest Ultrasound pics. For right now we have Baby A & Baby B:

Both Together

Wheeler Farm

Yesterday we went to Wheeler Farm with our Friends Lindsay and Izaiah. It was a quick trip, maybe 45 min tops, we couldn't take more than that out in this heat. But it was great to get out of the house and see the animals.

Aunty Katelyn's Birthday

Another Adventure to FatCats - It was our good friend and neighbors birthday a few weekends ago and we went to celebrate. Drake gets so into the Bowling ~ He absolutely loves all of the Balls!!! Between that and the Skeet-Ball game it's amazing we can ever get out of the place.

Thanks Katelyn for Celebrating your big day with us. Love you!!

Back From Belize!!!

With the Babies coming, my Dad sent Josh and I on one last get away. Drake stayed home with the Grandparents, splitting his time between the two. He had a great time, as did we. Here are just a few of the pics from our trip...

Little Sea Kayaking



Mayan Ruin - Xunantinich





Pointing to the Symbol of the "Twins"


National Park - The Blue Hole. Apparently the dark blue hole is a deep tunnel that connects to the one out in the ocean.

Fishing Off The Pier


Jungle/River Fishing Trip in the Rain on the Sittee River

Josh Catching his Big Barracuda


Josh Found, Husked, and Enjoyed a Coconut he found on the beach



Local Flair:
Rosie, She owed a Restaurant with the BEST Food. She Was Crazy, but very fun to hang out with.

Catching Crab off the Pier of our Hotel


All of these were caught within a Half Hour!

We were lucky enough to be there for the start of Hurricane Season. We only experienced the Tropical Storms Alma & Arthur, but the damage from those were enough. The poor little People of Hopkins experienced Flooding in their Village for the first time in History. The neighboring village along the Sittee River (where Josh and I fished just 2 days earlier) had sever flooding that required 40 People to Evacuate by Helicopter, and a Tragic 9 Deaths from the floods.




Our Hotel we stayed at

This is the Road out in front of our Hotel - I love that people started Kayaking their way out...

Last Day- Rain had stopped and Sun was out. Roads were still out of commission so we ended up taking a boat out in the ocean to get to the airport.

We had such a great time!! Thanks again Daddy! It'll be YEARS before we can do something like this again.
