Ok so far we have replaced
Radiator Cap
Thermostat
Fluids

Today, after a month from filling the fluids and changing the radiator cap, we replaced the thermostat, and it seemed to do the trick, but slowly it started to overheat again, it did take a long time, and when the marker got to a little over half way on the temperature gauge the fan kicked on it the line went back down for a while, but after some time, it went back over the half way mark and was very very slowly going hotter. I did notice that the coolant that we put in about a month ago was nearly gone, but I dont know if that is normal considering how hot it has been here in florida???

Can anyone PLEASE give me some advise, where do I go from here? What else can we try???

If you are putting coolant back in the system it should stay in the coolant system no matter how hot it gets. Coolant will not evaporate out of your car. Nor should water. You have to have a leak. SOMEWHERE.....
