Father Daughter Dance & Chuck E Cheese!

It was time!  One of Daisy (and Daniel's) favorite times of the year...Father Daughter Dance!!  It is hard for me as the mama to buy the tickets, get the dress, get her ready and then SEND HER OFF W DADDY!  Ha!  But it's such a fun time for them that it's worth it.  We did run over to the mall to get the one ear pierced since it was healed up.  The experience wasn't much better honestly!  Thankfully our pediatrician is going to start doing it.  Now atleast there is a good option!   Look at our funny pic below. :)

My handsome man and beautiful Daisy.

So while the Girls and Daddies were gone...some of the Mama's and Sons hung out.  We went to eat at ChickFilA and then headed to Chuck E Cheese.  Brady had pooped in the potty for his mama (who has a new baby!) so he got a to choose a prize...hence why in the WORLD we went to Chuck E Cheese's on a Saturday night.  It. Was. Insane.  Never will I ever make that mistake again.  But Isaac and Colbie were in heaven!

Brady, Amanda and Harrison (in the carrier) 

Will and Brady

Colbie holding on to me for dear life on the horsey ride. :)

So we got 20 tokens...and it was painful how long it took to get rid of those things!  HA!  The riding toys were pretty much all Colbs wanted to do.

I came home and got the kids in bed.  This is Dan bringing Daisy in. :)  I think she was faking but still...sweet that her Daddy carried her in.  They'd had a fun night of dancing, eating (Melting Pot!) and so forth.

more fun nothingness in Feb :)

This is my first Pinterest project...and I still love it!  Use it all the time :)

I was a little obsessed w this app during Football season...and after.  So I had to turn off it's alerts.  When I assumed Brandon was talking about who we recruited and not the terrible national news event When he said, "Did you hear about what happened in Alabama?"...I figured it was time. HA.

Colbie at the end of the day in her new outfit.  This girl knows how to get DIR-TAY.

This year I got my own Valentines and sent them out. :)  AREN'T THEY ADORBS?  LOL.

The kids heart dominos these days.  :)

Coco's eye... :)

OH Queen.  

YUM!  This smell may be one of my all time favorites!  Orange tree blossoms!

Super Daisy!

It's fun that our little fam can bike together!  Safety first. :)

Daisy went on a field trip to the Tampa Zoo.  No, I didn't go.  Don't get me started. :(

Colbie's bday at school! :)  I sent in some donut holes for her class to eat. :)

And Alli came to speak at MOPS that day! She shared her testimony.  It was so good!!  She is a natural speaker.  Several people told me how much they loved her sharing.  She has a gift!  And it was wonderful.

funny.

Just more proof that we still eat good ol' crepes and gallette. (But pictured in reverse)

SO...let me tell on myself...one Friday Becky texted to see if I would get the boys.  We were all headed to the park and so I could just meet her there.  SURE! I said.  Well, I got in carline and ONLY THEN realized I had all the bikes in the back of my car and NO spare seat to put them in!!!  AHHHH! So I grabbed them and pulled around...and sheepishly called Becky to rescue us.  OH Mama Brain.  This is what it looked like while we waited...

Sunroof fun...

Fun Girls Trip in February...Bama Bound!

The first weekend in February my mom was invited to speak (she is BIG TIME, y'all!) at a Ladies Retreat for the Mayfair Church of Christ (Huntsville, AL).  The retreat was in Florence, Alabama at a Marriott Spa and Resort.  NICE!  We left our comfy mid 70's weather here in Florida and went to NE Alabama where it was in the 20's at night.  I. thought. we. might. die.  :)  But it was SO worth it. :)

We had to catch a super early flight to make the most of our Friday.  So we left at 4 am!  We saw the sunrise at the airport.  We landed safely in Birmingham at 8:20 am. 

And in my usual lazy fashion...I am going to not spend 20 mins sorting pics.  Sorry!  But I will caption these so you don't miss a minute of the fun we had. :)

Mom and I chillin' at Nanny & Granddaddy's...I loved being at their house! 

Sunday am at Homewood Church of Christ.  I got to see my cousin Cadaline (Caroline) and other fam.

Brooksy, my "little" cousin

When we arrived in Bham on Friday we got to go to lunch w RACHEL! :)  We met at Chuy's (YUM) and had fun catching up.  I felt like I was sitting at an Allstar table.  LOVE LOVE LOVE all these ladies in my life. :))))))

My Nanny is so much fun!!!  She is doing the sorority girl pose in this pic.  We were talking about how silly they all pose, standing sideways with their hand on their hips.  HAHAHA!  This is also the same Nanny who told someone a few years ago that Puffy Daddy had changed his name to P Diddy.  Too funny!  We love Nanny.  She is so with it and stylin'.

On the plane!  She talkin' to Brandon...(step it up DAN!)

While I was gone, Super Dad took the kids on a long bike ride to the land bridge.  They had a blast! :)

On the elevator in our hotel.

The resort

This is my FAV tea right now...Good Earth-Sweet and Spicy.  Thanks Eryn for sharing! :)  I brought some to my Mama.

Talkin' w Granddaddy.

Auntie Jan came over to visit.  She was working (she is an AMAZING Calligrapher).  I heart my Aunt Jan.

They had these at the retreat to take and see where you are gifted and can best serve.  I have only taken, like, 30 of these...so I did this one too. :)  I certainly WASN'T gifted in church planting.  I can tell you that!

The resort on Saturday.  It was overcast and rainy.  That was an over look tower and restaurant.  We didn't make it up there. 

Granddaddy :)

Alli is not flipping me off...she is holding a conversation heart.  We ate TONS of those little dudes.

Fireside at the resort.

more landbridge fun...

My Aunt Donna and Cousin Beth came from Huntsville to the retreat.  It was so fun to see them and catch up.

Mom forgot her talk notes on Friday night back in our room. 

We had to hustle over and grab them.

When you are with the SPEAKER you are BIG TIME and at the RESERVED table...

right up front! :)

She is saying "Can I get an amen?"  LOL!  No, not really.  Maybe more like "Can someone turn down the spot light?"  In all seriousness, she is a really gifted speaker.  She speaks w ease, is very funny, tells it like it is and challenges you...all the while being quite relatable.   Very proud she is my mama!

We pause from the trip update to bring you a funny post by EB...

The comments that ensued after this were equally as funny!  LOVED this song in high school. :)

And this is funny cause I like to work out. :)  but it's not cross fit...it's the Y.

CHUY'S!

My sweet nanny on the class praise team.  I love that she is smiling in this pic. 

Rachel brought me this cup from the BIG GAME!!!  RTR.  And a t-shirt that she got from a basketball game.  SWEET!

 Snacks.  YUM. :)
