Siesta Key Beach!!

Josh and I on the beach around sunset! Even thought the sun went behind the storm clouds!
This is what Casey and I did most days.....it was amazing!!!
Lee and Casey at dinner the first night!
Josh and I at dinner.........the restaurant name is behind us....the atmosphere was great!
Josh and my feet....notice Josh's awesome tan lines from mowing!!
Dinner at one of my favorite places.....Ruth Chris Steakhouse! It was so good!
Lee and Josh went para sailing and had a great time! Casey and I stayed on the beach and took pictures......this one was actually taken by Lee with a waterproof camera! Not bad huh!
I love this pic of Josh, he was a riot.......always making me laugh!!
Can't believe I am posting this, but here we are on the beach......and yes my pregnant body in a swimming suit!

We had an amazing trip to Siesta Key last week! It was our first time leaving Delanie for this long.....we have had a couple of over night trips, but not five day trips!! Delanie stayed with my parents and I am sure had more fun than with us being home!! We spent most days at the beach and pool just relaxing, which was much needed! We did some shopping and ate at some fantastic restaurants! It was a great trip!!

Thanks to our friends Lee and Casey for a great trip, we had so much fun and created memories that will last a lifetime!

Our view for the week.......

This pool is right below our room.....look just off in the distance and that is the beach! We have to just walk through the condos to get there!

More pics later!

Fun at the Zoo!

Playing in the cave with Emily!!
Down the slide!
Nana and her grandkiddos!!
Cheesy smile with Nana! I am so thankful that my Mom came with us, I would not have made it without her! I am a bit out of shape these days.....to say the least!
It was quite impossible to get all of the kids to look at the camera, but we had fun trying!

Unfortunately after our fun day at the Zoo, Delanie woke up from her nap with a fever of 102!
She really did not act sick until she woke up, so I called our awesome Dr.'s office and they got us in! D either had the beginnings of an ear infection or another sinus infection, so they gave her an antibiotic and as of today she is feeling much better! Thank you Lord!

Best Buds!

Elmo is one of Delanie's best bud's these days! He goes all over the house and does everything she does! He gets a bath with baby wipes (without me knowing:), gets his teeth brushed, and if D could have it her way he would take a bath with her! Yesterday I was vacuuming and this is what she was doing! Notice she does not have on clothes because she was getting ready to take a bath!
Notice D is "helping" Elmo have his turn.....she is very into saying Lanie's turn and then Elmo's turn........if we could only be that nice to our friends at church :)
Love this pic!

Catch Up Time!

Happy Fourth a week late! Above is a pic of Delanie last year on the 4th!!!
This year......my how she has grown!
We spent the day at my parent's lake house! Above is "Miss/Aunt" Casey splashing and playing with Delanie in her pool!!
Josh spent most of the day getting mud out from under the boat ramp, so we could get the boat out! He was pretty spent, and water logged!
When Mason arrived he joined in on the fun in the pool! He plays so well with Delanie!!

The next pics are of our big week around here! Delanie has transitioned from her crib to a big girl bed!
Last morning in her crib, we had to wake her up because the furniture truck was outside!
The new bed!!

Of course she has to have a bed rail!! My Mom and Dad and Josh's Mom all came over to help get everything moved around and set up! I still cannot believe it! She also has a dresser, I had that pic next but just deleted it....oops!

This is the start to the baby's room......more to come on this room!

Trip to Louisiana

All dressed and ready for the wedding! My cousin used tangerine orange as her main wedding color.....it was beautiful.....and of course Delanie had to coordinate! It is a sickness!
Nana and Pawpaw with both grandkids!!!
Sweet Pic.........Bubby and Delanie!
Check out this Duo!!! Hilarious!
We have a small diva on our hands.......not sure where she gets that from :)
Ready to swim........or wimm as D calls it!
Mommy and Delanie!
Delanie blowing bubbles!! She loved swimming.....and kept squealing with excitement!
Our first swim of the season! Nana, Mason, and Delanie having a great time!
Silly smile!
Delanie's 1st black eye!!! Poor baby!



Last week we headed to Louisiana for my cousin's wedding. It was a 10 hour drive which was very long but Delanie did great with the help of Nana!!! Delanie did great at the rehearsal and wedding considering her schedule was thrown out the window :) On Sunday of the trip, we went over to my Aunt's house for lunch and as we were cleaning up lunch.....Delanie was playing on the bed with her cousin Mason and she bumped her head on the headboard of the bed.....well what we thought was her head! After her Pawpaw consoled her, she came to the kitchen and we quickly realized she had really bumped her eye and could tell it was going to be a shiner!

Happy 6 yrs tomorrow!

This was a picture from December.......it is the only one i could find on this computer! Ha!
This is Josh fishing, one of his favorite things to do!!!


Tomorrow, Josh and I will celebrate our 6 year anniversary! Time flies!! I love my husband more and more each day, his determination for our family is contagious! Josh is not only an amazing husband who loves me so much, but he is an even more amazing Daddy to our precious Delanie!
I thank the Lord daily for giving me such a Godly husband who loves his family!!
Happy Anniversary Joshie!!!
