Sunny Florida

We had the awesome privilege of visiting my parents this past week/weekend in sunny Florida. It was sooooo nice to get away! The weather was unbelievably perfect the entire time - sunny, hot (but not too hot). It was awesome. We all had an awesome time. It's a bit of a bummer to be home, but that's ok. We are blessed here as well. :)


Our flight took off at 7 a.m. So needless to say we had to get the kids up EARLY, still in their pjs. We are waiting for John to park the car and meet us at the terminal. So excited! :)

We flew out the day of Abigail's birthday. For a special birthday gift Grandma took Abigail to the Build A Bear workshop for her own special bear. Abigail chose a princess bear and named her Cupcake. 



Here she is filling the bear.



She's giving the bear a shower. 



Driving home with Cupcake. We went during nap time. She was very tired. I tried to have her take some quiet time, but she didn't fall asleep. So we went ahead and went, but on the way home she appears to be getting pretty sleepy.


Birthday cupcakes and ice cream after dinner. When we got home from Build A Bear we went to the pool for some more swimming before bed. We ate dinner at the pool, came home got into our pjs and had some birthday cupcakes and ice cream (before bed - normally this would not seem to be a very good idea, but we were all so exhausted a little sugar didn't budge our sleepiness). :)




Jackson had a couple rough nights of sleep which meant that John and I took turns sleeping with him and Abigail. He's not the best partner to sleep with - he insists on having his legs on you. I don't know what it is but no matter which way he lays - his legs always have to be on top of yours. This doesn't provide the most fitful sleep...This is the morning after sleeping with yours truly. :)


Morning cartoons with Grandma!


Dinner at Pinchers. So much fun! :)


Patiently waiting...



We went to the beach one day. Neal and Jessica Beer and their family were in FL at the same time. So we met them at the beach. It was super fun!




All the boys.


Our last night - getting ready for bed with Grandpa. All good things must come to an end...
