Florida Trip - Part 1

I took sooo many pictures in Florida that I am going to spread them out. I don't want to bore everyone with photo overload! We had the most amazing time in Florida. The weather was awesome. 80 to 85 degrees everyday. The day we flew home it snowed in Fredericksburg...not the welcome I wanted! Thank you mom, dad and Kathryn for making our stay so great. Hopefully yall's homes are back to normal and you are enjoying the peace and quiet.

Mimi and Rawlings on the plane headed to Florida


Susan Schneirstein and her kids on the plane


Taylor getting a ride from Aunt Kack


Taylor and her cool life jacket. My parents live on the water so she had to wear that every time she was in their backyard. Thankfully she didn't mind wearing it.




Taylor and Mimi feeding the birds and ducks. This was an activity that was done about 10 times a day. We had to start borrowing bread from neighbors. The ducks and birds are now in weight watchers thanks to our visit


Cousin Wade and Jake were down from Texas for their spring break. We got to hang with them one evening. Jake is 4 and was very surprised by his aggressive younger cousin. Wade on the other hand enjoyed watching her behavior towards his younger bro



Wonder where she learned that sassy pose?


Aunt Sherri, Cousin Madison and Rawlings. It was hard to pry Rawlings out of my dads hands, but if he wasn't with him he was with Aunt Sherri!


Taylor, Aunt Heather and Cousin Jake. Taylor thought Aunt Heather and the Garden Gnomes had a bit in common so she decorated her shirt with a few stickers



Jake teaching Taylor a new game on the IPad

Fabulous Birthday

My sweet hubby out did himself again for my birthday. He was being very vague with what we were doing for my Birthday. The only details he gave me were to be ready by 6pm. The big surprise was that he had hired a chef to come to our house to prepare an amazing meal for us and 4 of our great friends. The food was delicious, the company was perfect and thanks to the flowing champagne and wine my head hurts today!

The most beautiful flower arrangement arrived on Saturday

They were from my sweet little boy

Me and the hubs

The whole gang!

Weekend Snapshots

.
Taylor and her friend Reid. They were so cute and would hold hands and run up and down the field


Rawlings hanging out on the floor while his mom folded clothes and put them back in his sister's dresser:) Thank you George for the cute outfit! Rawlings had his 2 month doctor appointment and he weighs 11 pounds 4 ounces and is 24 inches long. Our little man is getting bigger by the day.


Big News....Taylor will now watch a movie for about 10 minutes straight. I never thought I would be trying to make my child watch movies, but those 10 minutes are glorious...ha!


Taylor and Rawlings had a special visitor Friday afternoon. Uncle Austin came for a visit. Of course Taylor made him push her on her swing and play ball.


Uncle Austin with the two kiddos!


Another cute outfit from George! THANKS


We then got to see Aunt Alice Friday night.


GiGi, Alice and Rawlings.




This is the perfect picture to show how wild our child is. The stroller had to be pushed as well.

Taylor's latest "fun to her" game is emptying out all of her dresser drawers. I literally probably fold her clothes and put them nicely back in her drawers 3 to 4 times a day. So who's the moron in our house....clearly me!

Suggestions are welcomed to help me talk her out of this "not so fun" game. Doesn't she look so pleased with herself?

Taylor is Getting Ready For Our Trip to Florida!


She loves her new bikini! I promise we will not be like those Germans who wear their socks to the beach! I do recal that my brother was a fan of that style a couple of years ago....
