Spring Break



Well, did Cayley and I have a blast? yes we did (but we missed daddy). Cayley and I went to Virginia Beach, Virginia to visit my Aunt Maria, Uncle Mike, Timmy and Suzie, and dogs Baylee, Maggie and Izzy. We were able to celebrate Cayley and Suzie's birthdays on Sunday. Cayley got lots of cute clothes for summer and the cute book 10 little ladybugs.








We got to go to the beach and run in the water (even though it was freezing), but Cayley loved it. We are not sure that Maggie knows how to swim but she tried to jump in a little ways but then she came back out.




We went shopping for Cayley and bought her 5 new outfits using a christmas gift card, from Childrens place for summer so future pictures will have her in these new outfits.

We went walking on the boardwalk at least 2 times a day and on one day, we walked the mall and then a huge chunk of the boardwalk for a total of 15,042 steps! It was so fun. We got to see a huge sculpture of Neptune.




We also went to the Virginia Aquarium. This was fun and Cayley loved it. We got to touch Sting Ray's and a Horseshoe Crab. We got to see the Seals eating and Otters. Cayley loved the big fish and crabs and lobsters. She kept looking for Nemo but this aquarium only had local sea life. There was a 65 year old sea turtle. We also got a picture inside of jaws. We got to see 3 different types of sharks.

Valentine's Day

I will let you know that I had a pretty cool Valentine's Day gift from TIm. I will post a picture later but our camera is not working so I can't get the pics off. When I got home from a crummy day at work Friday, I was greeted by a big pink box with Floral Print. I brought it in the house and opened it to find that Tim got me a Floral Arrangement from Hawaii. A few years back, he got me a dozen roses, 6 red and 6 white and I thanked hiim and said they were beautiful but that I would take 1 bird of Paradise over a dozen roses any day. Well, that's what I got. 3 Bird of Paradise and a bunch of other exotic flowers that I don't know what they are called. IT was fun because I had to put it together my self. I learned how to cut and arrange them according to what you want the focus to be on. I followed the directions to a T and sprayed them 2 times a day with a squirt bottle but they only lasted about 1 week. I took lots of pics so I will have to live with that. It was awesome. Then, Jenn, Adam, and Collin came up and we hung out and had dinner. It was a relaxing weekend and fun. I will get the picture up soon, even if I have to get one off my phone.
