Isabella goes to Florida

In the middle of polar vortex...the term I have heard for the first time in my life (and it felt like it too), we jetted off to Florida to spend some quality time with my parents, Isabella's Grandma Chug and Grandpa Dale. And what a relaxing, warm getaway it was! We are so thankful that we had the time to get away and enjoy one another's company! So what did we do? The list of things to do and places to go was endless, where do I start? I LOVE pictures and I think they speak a thousand words, so let me SHARE with YOU! Enjoy! If I had to put our trip into words, here are the words I would use to describe: Once in a lifetime. Relaxing. Full of Sunshine. Precious. Sharing. Caring. Loving. Learning. Embracing. Learning to be patient (on the fishing side). Funny! Has anyone seen TRIXIE lately? Tell her I miss her if you see her! Isabella and I had so many fun times on the trip and created many fun memories to be cherished FOREVER! If you look at the pictures, we were fortunate to experience DISNEY WORLD for the first time, have endless hours in the pool, rode several rides at Disney, go FISHING (next time I will for sure bait my own hooks), see Minnie Mouse (Isabella didn't know what to do or how to act), have quality family time, Isabella got to dress like a princess and so much more....I could go on and on. If we would have had Giselle, Bob and Baxie, I think we would have stayed longer.....

Welcome to CHI beria.....

Polar vortex. Chiberia. Coldest it's been in 30 years. Record breaking cold temperatures! Cabin fever? Do a little dance and shovel and shovel some more? Yep, we got it. And that is all you are seeing and hearing on the news. And we are feeling it. We are dreaming of a tropical adventure! How many homemade soups and fires can I build? How many movies can we watch? How many crafts can we make? Does anyone want a cookie? You wanna go outside? Sure. That lasts about 15 minutes if that. And it takes about 15 minutes just to put all of the gear on. So here are a few pictures of the day. We tried to build a snowman, however everyone got to cold and we went inside. It is even too cold for Baxie but I did capture his beautiful foot print in the snow! Baby it is cold outside......

FIRST DAY of School Photos

 I am surrounded by empty nesters.  For now, I am still celebrating the firsts.  There are always firsts in life...right? I have never been ...
