Disney 2010

Josh surprised me for my 26th birthday to take our first family vacation. Josh's sis, Jennifer, went with us as well. We had a blast. Josh took us to the Cornado Springs Disney Resort. It had a mayan ruins theme through out the entire property. We got there late at night (Orlando) and then headed to Disney World the next morning. We spent the entire day there, literally we were there from around 9:30 am until 9:30 pm, when the fireworks show was over. The next day we spent the day at the resort and enjoyed the pool area. It had ruins built over and around the pool property, had a large slide for anyone to go down. (You could only go down one at a time, so we didn't get to take Kaylee down) She would have loved it but there is no way she would have made it 5 feet down the slide alone, of course :). They also had a kid's pool, where she got to play with the water shooting up out of the pool. Afterwards we headed back to Naples and on our way home stopped at Amish Restaurant somewhere in between Orlando and Naples. It was delicious food!

Daddy talks to Kaylee like Donald Duck...mommy loved it when he did it back in college and now Kaylee loves it too. She was yelling "daddy" when she saw donald duck.

Josh is ordained!

Josh giving his testimony

Josh's ordination was on April 11th 2o1o after we had the birthday party at our house. It was an extremely special occasion. Pastor Tim Neptune preached a sermon to the pastor's and had a few other pastor's from the ordination council speak as well. Then, each man had to share his testimony to the congregation and Josh brought me and everyone else to tears when he addressed me at the very end of his. Then all ordained pastor's prayed over the men:for their families, calling and their ministry. Then Pastor Neptune preached and then the men were presented their certificates and the wives flowers. There was a party afterwards at the church where the men got a concordance of every book of the Bible and the wives got a book as well. I didn't take a ton of pictures bc we had a photographer there and all the pictures as well as the service are on FBC Marco's website. We also had other family member's attend such as Josh's mom, G-G and sister (jennifer) who are not pictured on this blog but super grateful they were there in love and support!

Daddy and Kaylee on April 10th-their birthday! After an amazing dinner

Kaylee and Daddy's Birthday Party

The day started off by going to church then a baptism followed. Then headed home with lunch to finish preparing for the party. We had a wonderful day. After everyone arrived, Kaylee opened gifts and showed off every single one, I have a few pictures of some gifts on here. She loved being the center of attention and even twrilled for everyone multiple times. We were so blessed to have so many family members and friends (Nichols and Ashley Santana) who came to the birthday and ordination party. Josh had a great time as well. It is my prayer that Josh always feels special on his birthday as well...two down....many many more to go..Lord willing! We also cut the cake to announce the gender of our second baby due Sept. 10th, 2010. We had an absolute blast. As soon as we finished, everyone headed to FBC Marco for Josh's ordination ceremony, sermon and party afterwards. Then we all went out to dinner late that evening to finish the wonderful night off! Thank you Lord for such a wonderful day and to have two special people celebrate their birthday's on the same day!
