The last few Days...

....Have been so nice out and we have taken full advantage of the Florida Sunshine! Makayla is starting to like her Quad Santa got her for Christmas so she is riding it every chance she gets.

She also loves her Dora bike she got from her Paw Paw. She can't quit reach the pedals yet but she pushes along and finds a way to move around!

Dancing on the side of the house

Look how long her hair is getting, and what I wouldn't give for that coloring.

We will be taking a girls trip to Disney this weekend, we can't wait!!!! Hope all is well with everyone and thanks for checking in. A 20 month update will be coming soon and a few other updates that have been on our minds also, stay tuned!!!!

Happy Birthday Steve

Steve turned 31 this year!!!! Though last year he got to spend his birthday turning 30 in the Bahamas this year was fun but a little different! He said turning 31 was hard and alot worse then turning 30!

I got him the cake he asked for...yellow cake with chocolate ganache frosting. Ohh it was good!

We went a Japanese steak house with a few friends and family

Makayla LOVED watching the chef cook our food

and she ate like a champ

My mom and Kevin

Our good friends Don and Robin

and our other good friends Ryan, Jen, and Hannah..

Makayla even helped Daddy blow out the candles,

and she sang Happy Birthday! (thanks to Nenny!)

Even though it was a tough day for Steve I think he had a good day!!! Happy Birthday Steve!!!

A First for us!

Steve, Makayla and I took our first family vacation just the 3 of us last week! It was wonderful! We decided to go to Disney of course. We bought the passes for Christmas and we are taking full advantage of them. We had 3 days all to ourselves. We relaxed and made this trip all about our little Miss M. We went to Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. Makayla had a great time and seemed to enjoy every minute of her time away from home.

We rode lots of rides,

got to see some cool animals

Makayla took a few naps here and there...

She got to see Pooh Bear up close..

(she is really starting to LOVE all the characters)

We grilled steaks and greens beans on the new grill!

Waited for ALOT of SLOW buses!

had a few drinks "around the world" in Epcot

I had a very nice glass of Wine in Italy...

Makayla made music....

Steve's car got stuck on test track and they had to come and fix it...

We became small on the "Honey I shrunk the kids" playground

We rode the Woody ride at Hollywood Studios...

Woody danced right in front of Makayla at the Parade...

a BoPeep blew her a kiss...

She even got called out to dance in the parade...

We ate dinner with Mickey...

and Minnie... and all of there friends....

We had to deal with a little cold but Makayla Loves her hat and

Woody blanket she got from her PawPaw!

All in all we had a wonderful trip. Makayla was really good and we got to spend some great time together as a family. The best part is we are going back this weekend for a girls trip with My sister and My mom. Makayla and I can't wait!!!!!!

Movie Monday

I uploaded all the videos from our flip onto the computer and I have been watching them all for the last few days. There are some from her as a baby up until Christmas of the past year. I uploaded my favorite to share with all of you.
