Fl trip - Venice - Part 1

 
Florida Here We Come!!!!  packed to the brim!!!! Lucille got moved to a booster seat and to say she LOVES it is an understatement.  We also got her the pillow that attaches to the car seatbelt and it was a great hit!!!
 




 



Siesta Key was Nick's grandma Lucille's favorite beach, so it was very special to go there and very easy to understand why she loved it there so much.  (My sister Shannon also celebrated her 1st wedding anniversary there and she LOVED it!!!)
The water was so tropical an the sand was so white and felt like you were walking on powered sugar!!!
  We didn't have the greatest weather during our week in Florida, but the first day we were there, there was some patches of blue sky and sunshine!
 
Video of Lucille loving the gulf!!!!
 

The beach was so packed!!!



 
There were a ton of para-sailers too!!  There were SOO high!






 
After the beach we headed back to Grandpa Leroy's and Granny Hazels community and went swimming in there pool!

 
My swimmers and My sunbathers!!!!

 
At the entrance to their community they have a giant pond with a water fountain, they had a swan and turtles.  If was fun for the girls!





 
Playing with Grandpa Leroy and Granny Hazel!


 
We loved the beach that the next day we decided to go back and there was no sun or blue sky in sight, it was kinda chilly, but we stayed for 2 hours and did our best to rough it out!



Grandpa's neighbor gave us a shark tooth shovel, so Nick an Lucille were digging for treasure!  It was pretty cool!




 
My camera was on a funky color setting so it looks like everyone got really bad sunburn, LOL!!
We had the best time in Venice, FL and the girls really miss being there!
We hope that we will get the chance to visit again.
 
Bye Bye Venice, HEELLOOOOO Disney!!!!!

January and Feburary Fun!!

Hi Blog, we have missed you as we usually do.  I cant believe that it has been 2 months since we last updated you : )
Lucille went on a filed trip with her class to our local Little Caesars, where they made their own personal pizzas!  They had a blast!  The class is so big they had to go in two different groups.  Below is Lucille's group! 
 
 

 Nick always goes with Lucille on her field trips!  The kids love him!!  Here he has Cadence and Alex with him!


 
 
We also got to bring Bernie the class sock monkey pet home. 
We had a great time with him. 
 
Bernie tried on Daddy's army gear and he went to Aubree's birthday party!!!!
 
Bernie also got a bath (in the washing machine, lol) and we gave him a new outfit, it was the same preemie outfit that Ryann wore when she came home from the hospital!!! 
 

 We had family dinner at our house.  Lucille and grandpa are taking a break from all of the fun!

Bernie loved being apart of family dinner!  The theme this month was Moroccan, and lets just say we all agreed we probably don't need to eat Moroccan food again, LOL!

 sissy love!

 Bedtime with Bernie!!!
