The house that is waiting for us

The road into Waterstone where we hope to live in by next week.

There are lakes/ponds like this throughout the subdivision.

Here is the front of the house. My mom waiting for our realtor to let us in.

This is the backyard. I think its big enough for a nice big playset! (hint hint!) :)

Downstairs bathroom

Bedroom. The wood floors are really nice.

Kitchen. It is kinda small but at least when people come over they can't see the mess right away. LOL!

We like the tile on the first floor. The paint colors are nice to. The house is very clean. It has 3 bedrooms 2.5bath. I don't know why I didn't take a picture of the master closet...it could have been Andrews room! I will hopefully get pictures on what it looks like after we move in.

The Keys

We drove to the Keys before my mom left. It was a nice drive. Don't be to jealous...looks can be deceiving...it was SUPER HOT! My mom was saying that Arizona heat is like your on a grill and Florida heat is like you are in a boiling pot on the grill. It was a nice drivethough and we found a fun park with a nice beach to take a rest. All we did was sweat. I think we are just going to wear our swimsuits 24/7!

Ryan loves the water.

Andrew didn't want to go near it.

But Andrew found this and was happy.

I will have more pictures of the keys when it gets a little cooler I think....I hope!

Random pics on the road

Texas Rest Area

Walking out our hotel room in San Antonio.

Alamo. Trying to find Peewee's bike. :)

This is how close Ryan would get to the dinosaur. He wanted to pet it until it moved.

From Ryan's point of view...watching Princess and the Frog. Very appropriate for New Orleans.

Stopped at the New Orleans visitor center. A lot of history.

Maya and her new "Jazz" bag from New Orleans.

Don't have one for Mississippi, I think I was asleep.

Fruit & Spice Park and Biscayne National Park

Starting our journey through the Fruit & Spice Park. We explored the crazy jungle of lots of bananas, mangos, avacados, coconut, posionous plants and fruit. And of course...tons of BUGS! Did we come out alive???

Mike scratching bugs off of him. He did that all day long!

So green

Mangos?

This was Ryans favorite fruit....tree sausages.

From Biscayne Park is the view of Turkey Point Power Plant where Mike works. He gets the view of the ocean everyday!

This is part of Biscayne Park. Obviously the swimming areas are closed. When the kids saw this and the ocean they said this doesn't look like California ocean.

Sweet Andrew saying cheese. He loves the shirt that Auntie L gave him.

These signs are along all the bay area and around the picnic tables....nice. But I have yet to see one.

Ryan wanted to get his picture taken by the fish. This is the happiest I have seen him since we left Mesa. For some reason Andrew likes to make his lips into a trumpet. Maya was just along for the ride. She told me it was to hot for her to be outside. LOL!

Can you imagine walking into one of these webs??! Eeewww!

There were some nice rocking chairs at the visitor center at the park. I had to take advantage ;)

This the view of Downtown Miami from the park. Our home is about 10 miles from the park so Miami isn't to far by boat. Ha ha I am kidding!
