Forgotten FL photos

I was uploading more photos this week and realized I never posted these. Our days were kept busy in FL. The weather was always gorgeous and we played outside a ton. Lots of pooltime, family BBQs, a trip to Anclote Beach/Park for a picnic...I had forgotten that I took these! Oh how I wish we lived in FL!

Fun with Grandpa in the pool

Anclote Beach/Park for a picnic

Messy watermelon

Lunchables...the perfect picnic food for a toddler.

Playing at Anclote Park

Climbing high

Not really a slide, but it works

I was obsessed with tetherball in Elem School...Ella loves it too!

How sweet! Riley really is her protector too!

Ella wanted to take over as photographer

Uncle Phil swimming with Ella

All smilesTom likes water guns way too much

The flying Ella-gator!

And she's out. (what your kid doesn't nap on the patio?)

Love this sleeping angel

And then she awakens and demands ice cream

A Beautiful Room

I loved the way Madeline's nursery turned out. I owe it all to my mama though. She made everything. And I mean everything you see with fabric on it, she sewed and worked really hard on! She is amazing and I love every bit of it. I wanted to steer clear of a PINK room, so I went with this Amy Butler Poppies fabric. I loved the blues and greens in it. Definitely girly enough to not be mistaken for a boys room, but it doesn't scream princess pink at me;) I can't thank my mom enough for all of her hard work. She did a fabulous job!

The only photo I could get of the room

Her name sign

Butterfly art and Mod Podged "M"

I made Ella a book box so of course Madeline needed one as well!

Rollerskating with Daddy!

One thing Ella loves to do is rollerskate. She has had plenty of time to practice now that Daddy is home. I forgot to post these photos before we left for FL, but here they are in all their glory. Doesn't she look grown up?

Safety first!

Day out with Granny P and Auntie Monica

I have to admit it was a very nice vacation in FL...especially when you have so many family and friends that just want to take Ella and keep her occupied:) She had a great day with her Granny P and Auntie Monica one day. They spoiled her with a trip to Sims Park, the petting zoo and a little Chick-fil-A for lunch. I love how much they love her. Even though Ella doesn't get to see our families very often I have to say she is so comfortable around everyone and it's wonderful to watch the interaction she has with them. Not to mention I LOVE getting a break...I even took a nap that day;)

How CUTE are these two??
Crazy Granny going down the slides!

Auntie Monica is a blast!

Aidan's Baptism

Still playing catch up so just enjoy it, ok?

Tom and I are so blessed to be the Godparents of Aidan. He is the youngest son of my bff Bridget and her hubby Roger. He is just the cutest, sweetest, and most loveable little boy on the planet and I adore him to pieces! We are completely honored to be such an important part of his life and will always be there for him as he grows up. I know I will be his favorite auntie...you can just tell from the pictures that he adores me. ;) Thank you so much Bridget for waiting until Tom was home from Korea so we could be a part of this journey in your lives. We love you guys!

Proud parents Roger and Bridget
