10 year Anniversary Trip & Mother's Day

Bert being the wonderful husband he is, suggested a beach trip to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.  He really know me because it was perfect!  
Some time away together at my favorite place was wonderful!

BreBre had a wonderful time with GG & Poppy, Aunt Shelley and Mike & DeDe!! She loved Aunt Shelley's puppy, Luna.
She even got to see Lilly & Reid in their spring play!
The weather could not have been better! Sunny and low 80's.

Had to take a pic for old time sake in front of the San Roc Cay fountain.

Pelican up close right before we headed out on the sunset cruise.

He was a good sport with the pictures!
This is my huge swollen lip after too much sun & too many scallops!  Think it was a little too much of a good thing...eating them for lunch & dinner on consecutive days is apparently too much but now I know.  Also know that Bahama Bobs has amazing grilled scallops!!

We had a wonderful time but were both so excited to get home to see BreBre!! We came home a day early to see her & spend Mother's Day with our mommas!

I definitely feel blessed beyond measure to be this little girl's mommy!  
Fun times!  We are so thankful to have GG & DeDe in our lives!!!
Here's a 4 generation pic with Mom & Gram!  Happy Mother's Day!

Landry's Birthday Party

This morning we went to Landry's Birthday Party!  Hard to believe he & Breanna are already 2 years old!

Drinking like a big girl!

Since his birthday fell so close to Easter this year, he had an Easter Egg hunt.  LaCee (Landry's mom) had been worried about the weather but it was so nice!  

BreBre had been scouting out the eggs a little earlier and was ready to go once it was time.  She's had quite a bit of practice between school & our life group at church :)

Although she did have to stop and open each egg to see what was hidden inside



There were a few chocolates that were starting to melt but we ate a couple anyway mid hunt.

Looking so cute in her little Easter Bunny outfit!


Found another one!  Pink!  She was calling out the colors as she found them.



Here's the birthday boy!


Trying to sneak in a picture with Mommy but she's too interested in what goodies she has yet to uncover in her basket

This egg was where we found the really melty chocolate and had to go straight for a wipe.

BreBre loved playing on all Landry's toys...although she was a little shy today and didn't hang with the crowd much. But she was jumpin', jumpin', jumpin' as she says

Mid-air bunny!

Fun times!

Fun Day at the Zoo & to see the Daffodils!

We went to the Zoo this Wednesday with our Life Group and Kristi and the kids came with us and we had such a great time!!
Little scared to get so close to the Elephant...took her a few minutes to warm up but then she was good.  Helped to have Katy there!
 

Checking them out

These 4 lion cubs were adorable!!  Or kitties as BreBre called them :)

Checking out the alligator

And snacking on her goldfish

Really excited about the bears and they were close


Love this sweet girl and enjoyed our day together so much!


Birdies, Birdies

In the Petting Zoo Area with the goats, who she called puppies.  She was trying to find one to pet until 2 walked quickly past us trying to get away from some other very friendly kiddos and she was a little scared, which I happened to catch in the picture below.  It wasn't funny and it was all at the same time, she tried to grab a hold of Alex but then decided to tough it out on her own.


Katy, Adam & Alex

BreBre and Adam were getting a little sleepy but perked up for the park at the Zoo

Kristi said she was getting ready for the beach and she did have a big time playing in the sand


Trying to get a smile

We left the Zoo around 1pm and headed to lunch.  Bre & Adam fell asleep on the way to lunch but woke up in pretty good moods, then after lunch they took a little more nap and we stopped by the Mrs. Lee's Daffodil Garden and let them nap until we got to the Log Cabin. 

So glad we stopped it was such a neat place & a neat story!  I first attempted a summary of the story but don't think I was doing it justice...here's a link so you can read all about it.


Right before we woke them up...so peaceful!

Playing with the flowers

Katy was ready with her poses

Miss BreBre is ready now! Helped that Katy was helping behind the camera to get those smiles!  Thanks Katy!


Cutie, striking another pose!

BreBre had fun tromping through the leaves following Katy and the boys.  I would be lying if I said I wasn't stepping lightly and keeping my eye out for snakes.  Not sure if there were any but you know me, I'm a scaredy cat!  I did have a lot of fun though!


Love this picture of Kristi and the kiddos (Alex, Katy & Adam)

Krisit's pic with the kids was so cute, had to get one with BreBre...she wasn't all that excited until the kids got her attention

And then we got some smiles!

They're so silly!


Having fun with Katy

But scheming to make a move on the empty camera bag Katy was carrying for her Momma

About to make her move

And sweet Katy shared and let her carry the purse


Enjoying our fun filled day!




Love seeing those smiles!






We closed the place down, as we were taking these pictures they were making the rounds on the 4 mile driving track and getting people to wind up their trip.  Alex was worried that we didn't immediately stop taking pictures and walk right to the car.  That's good that he's such a rule follower.  However, we did make it out of the gate before they closed at 5.  I'm not much of a rule breaker either but you've got to get the pictures.



Kristi spotted this cute little stump that made the perfect little seat.  Again, Katy & Kristi were a huge help getting the smiles.  I think they were pretending like the were bopping me on the head.

 

Here's the replica log cabin Mrs. Lee had built hat overlooks one of the little lakes.
 
Such a fun day with friends, we love spending time with Kristi and her kiddos.  When I was getting Bre into the car Thursday morning to go to school, she was looking for Katy in the backseat.
