Well.....it was Election Day and it was Trump or Clinton, I won't go into detail of who we were voting for since it's one of the craziest elections ever, I don't really like either and wish there was someone else in the mix. 

Anyway.......I also took a pregnancy test and well....I'M PREGNANT, AGAIN!! Our planning has paid off and we couldn't be happier. This will be my 3rd pregnancy, if you read my blog, you know earlier in the year I had an unfortunate miscarriage, so naturally i'm a little more nervous about this one, already keeping my fingers crossed and praying hard that this one sticks. We've decided that this 2nd kiddo will complete our family so we're excited for July 20th when we become a family of 4! Darin knew I was probably pregnant because I told him I had a good feeling I was, I still surprised him a little with a little sign, but deep down, i'm pretty sure he knew it too ;)

We are EXTREMELY happy to see Gemma become a big sister and watch how she adjusts and grows and loves on my tummy these next 9 months. She's a pretty smart cookie so I think she'll love the idea of having a little brother or sister. We've decided not to tell her yet, since she likes to go around to people and school and tells them when anything happens, I went to the dr for a cough or dropped Darin off at the airport and that girl will go announce it to everyone she runs into that day lol, next thing I know people are asking if i'm ok because Gem told them I went to the Dr. this morning...SO...in order to keep our secret, we can't tell her haha. 

HalloWeeN

This Halloween was special for a few reasons, 1. daddy got to enjoy it with Gem and 2. she and her bff matched! They were Jane Fonda and holy cuteness!!

Trinidad & DDI

Tickets are so cheap to Trinidad right now and a friend asked us if we wanted to go for a long weekend with our families. We've never been but have always wanted to go since a lot of our friends are from there as well. So we booked tickets and off we went on our first family vacation with another family. SO.MUCH.FUN! Besides the 2 yr olds hashing it out 10 times a day, they really enjoyed their time together and so did the adults! DDI stands for Down De Islands, that's where we stayed, at our friends family house. We had to fly in, drive to the yacht club and get our boat loaded to head over. It's a quick 5 min ride so it was really nice to just be on the outside of Trinidad looking back. It was also really nice to pop over and get breakfast and coffee in the morning. We enjoyed every sunset, lots of downtime to enjoy the view, island toured to a beach far far away haha, watched dolphins swim through the bay during sunset, made some awesome food and drove the boat around to other islands to swim in new spots! Definitely will be going back!

Back to School

Gem started back at the Montessori school she was in since January this year. We love the teachers and all the kids in the class so it was a no brainer to send her back. We are so excited since this is her last year with this little class, next September they all move to "BIG" school together!

Quick Summer Trip to Orlando

Gem doesn't have school till mid September so we decided to take a quick last minute summer trip up to Orlando. We did our usually Seaworld, Target, Chickfila, which are always our favorite things to do when we go up. We did Seaworld twice this trip and Daddy finally got to come! We've been going to Seaworld for a year with our pass and this was Darin's first time getting to see how excited Gem gets when she goes. She absolutely LOVES it!! We had a bit of downtime this trip so it was nice to spend time at home with our families and not be out and about everyday, just almost everyday :) We also got to see Great Grandma a bunch and boy does Gem love her GG!\
