Orlando.

We went to Orlando last weekend. We took our time getting there, stopping at stores, lunch and what not. That was a mistake. When we got there around 1pm it was "closed, overcapacity, come back at 5pm". I've never even considered that it would fill up!

So we went to a mall. It was ok, we just walked around. I found a store with a ton of Chococat stuff and stocked up. TONS of it. :) There was a little kid playground we let the kids play in, as they had been stuck in the car for some time. It had the most adorable rocket ship thing you could play in. Oh and the mall was MOBBED. Insane crazy mobbed!

It was dark when we got into Sea World. Thank heavens we have passes, so no big deal.

Stephen was tall enough to ride Atlantas, which he calls. "The Witch Ride". He LOVED it. :) I went with him as it's one of my own favorite rides too.

Ethan was not tall enough to ride the Shamu Coaster, so here he is with me in line for this lame rocking boat one.

Yeah, I let him swing on that bar. *my gosh is he not the cutest kid ever?* On your way to the polar bears there is an ice wall. Real ice. Stephen thinks it's the coolest thing EVER.
That's all the photos we got. We are TICKED at the new camera. It's eating batteries WAY too fast. Like within a few hours of Sea World it died. We don't just leave it on all the time or anything. Kodak makes a special battery for it with a special charger and I guess we will have to get it. Freaking costs $50, which makes our camera less of a great deal, but what are you gonna do.

I'm still sewing. I bought stuff online just now for Christmas 2009 presents. I'm going to try to do at least one present a month all year. I only give about 12 presents so that should work out.

I have a new calling at church. I'm one of the people over the Primary (kids program). It is cool because I love the people I work with and it's so fun to see the kids learning about Jesus. It stinks because now I'm not in adult Sunday School. I LOVE adult Sunday School. It's worth it though. Stephen is now in regular primary too, so I get to see him for half the time when all the kids come together for "Sharing Time" with music and a lesson. He was really into it, paying attention and all. I was very proud of him. OH the music! I don't know ANY of these songs. Amber, a girl I serve with got me a music book to borrow. Like long term borrow. Because I am a mess. Cute thing on music, they sang us some "hello" song because we were new in there, me and the other leaders who are new. Anyhow I sit down next to this girl Ryan and she says, "Why did we sing hello to you?" I say, "Because I'm new in here and you wanted to welcome me" She says, "I know but why did we have to SING it?" She's my new best friend in there, with her not understanding all the singing! haha. She's 5.

Still working out in the mornings. We have finally found our timing. I was having to get up earlier and earlier to beat Stephen's getting up. When I got to 6am I said NO MORE. So now I get up with Brian at 8 and run out the door right away. Brian is home, so the kids are supervised. I get back just before he goes to work. I actually liked 7:45 better, but if I leave while Stephen is up he tries to follow me. That's not good. So I get up at 8 with Brian. It's great, for a week I was doing 6ish and getting so tired. I've lost 12 lbs. I feel great. I look better, but not GREAT yet, but I really feel fantastic. I feel taller too. I think holding correct posture during the walk is helping my posture in general. Maybe. I dunno.
