Well I finally had time to look at the thermostat. Bingo, it had completely come apart and the spring and retainer were down in the motor. Replaced it and no more overheating. Never goes past the middle on the temp gauge. 
Thank you for all the help.

I purchased the pump at Autozone and it was something like $35.00. I have spent more on the 3 bottles of HOAT coolant.

Why would I think the thermostat was bad. The only reason I change the water pump was the seal was leaking. It wasn't overheating before I change the water pump. Some people.
