We went to Gatorland for the first time.  I used to go when I was a kid but it is much bigger now. The kids really had a good time.

Leader LAUNCH!!!

Look at her form, a born runner!

Go, NYA, GO!!!

Nya with some of her school peeps...

Nya Bliss had her "leader launch" run at school today. She ran 35 laps (the maximum) which was the exact equivalent of 2.3 miles. I am so proud of her. She is just getting over her respiratory infection but she pulled through like a true champ. Hakim and I were both there with her 2 sisters cheering her on! Iyla is still chanting "Go, NYA, GO!!!" The school profited over $16,000 from this fundraiser which goes straight back into the classrooms. Way to go NYA BLISS!!! We are going to Monkey Joe's after school with her buddies so she can celebrate her victory.

Fun times

"Kid's Night" at Roadhouse with the Growe family.

Her awkward fake smile, cracks me UP!

Pure JOY!

I have been a bad blogger lately, sorry followers! I have been busy trying to get, keep and maintain a healthy house hold for longer than 1 week at a time.  Leila is finally well (knock on some serious wood people) and then Nya came down with a pretty nasty upper respiratory infection (caused by her stupid aggressive allergies) and just today Iyla started with a runny nose and some fatigue. GREAT!!! I hate it when they are sick, really, really hate IT!  I have them all on a daily vitamin, daily vitamin C tablets, probiotics, prebiotics, fish oils, omegas...blah...blah...blah...and they still get sick!  Anyways, here are some random pics from the phone. I will upload my camera this week...I hope!!!

Fun with the McCoy boys!

They were playing this cute game where Iyla would try to catch Alejandro when he came down the slide.

Best Friends...cutest kids EVER!!!

Ty and Ny

Group HUG!

"I'm gonna get you baby brother!"

"Chase meeeeeee"

Group chase

Tyler loves Chance, and every other dog on the planet.

Yelena came over the other day with the boys and we had an impromptu dinner play date. The kids had so much fun playing in the backyard. It was a picturesque night. Beautiful weather, great food and awesome friends.
