Florida via the cell phone pics!

Tallie had never been on an airplane before Florida, and in true Tallie fashion she only slept 15 minutes of the almost 4 hour flight!  BUT she did AMAZING!  Spence and I were even able to watch a movie during the flight.  It was great! 

Listening to some Bob Marley!  

We are great at traveling with kids, we hardly bring anything.... LOL!

First full day we were there, we rushed outside to enjoy the sunshine, here are the pictures of us happy to be OUT of the snow, and INTO the SUN!!!!

We walked over to Universal Studio which was right by our hotel.

And found this really cool hotel with water and boats around it.

Lance LOVES Pam SOOOOO much.  He was so excited when she arrived.

Here is where Spence spent his time the first week....

We spent our time swimming,

and walking around the hotel,

and playing golf!

I had to document where Tallie slept.  The hotel was PERFECT!  We were so excited to pack n' play fit in the closet!   When Tallie woke up, she would stand up and slide open the closet door. 

The sunset from our hotel window one night - this picture is not edited, it was seriously this beautiful!

Tallie is such a clean eater, lol! 

We also visited M&M World at the Florida Mall.  Lance's favorite candy is M&M's, so he loved it! 

Disney Boardwalk

One morning we headed over to the Disney Boardwalk.  It was a great place to walk with tons of restuarants, shops, white sandy beach, swings, and a pirate ship for the kids to play in.  It was a lovely morning. 

James and Tallie

Pam and Lance

My cool dude!

Lance is such a sweet brother to Tallie, and she just loves him so much.  She follows him everywhere he goes and loves to hold his hand, so sweet! 

Picture with the lake and a nice hotel in the background!

Ah, the lovebirds!

Cocoa Beach, Fl

When Spence told me back in October that he had to go to Florida in February for a work convention, it took me all of two seconds to book tickets for the entire family!  So, last week we headed out to Orlando for 11 heavenly days!

One of our best friends from Thunderbird, Pam, and her boyfriend James, came down from New York to spend the week with us, and one sunny day we headed to Cocoa Beach!

Here are my kids responses to being at the beach:

Yes... I had absolutely no idea that my near always happy daughter absolutely DESPISED the sand!  Literally she bawled any time we tried to put her on the sand, it was crazy!

Here is a darling picture of Pam and James.  They make such a cute couple, and they are so sweet to my kids.

I randomly took this picture of Pam and James - and it totally shows how adorable they are with my kids.  James consoling Tallie, and Pam building a sand castle with the goose, too cute!

Man, I love my little kiddos!

Here is a funny story - we were posing for a picture on the pier, when all of a sudden....

... a pelican about took out our heads!

Thanks Pam and James for such a memorable day!

Solitude Weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend up at Solitude with our friends the Wagstaff's!  We were able to fit in so many fun things in a few short days!

SLEDDING! 

Here is a picture of my Spence with little Spencer Wagstaff! 

 

Daddy and Lance!

The girlies watching from the windows! 

The guys getting ready for skiing in the mud room! 

Here come the girls again! 

Getting ready to go skiing!  BBRRR!  I am not one who is usually thrilled to go skiing in a blizzard (I kinda like to get some color from the sun while I ski - ya know), but it still turned out to be a fun day.  BIG FAN of fresh powder baby! 

The cute kiddies posing for a picture, one smile and then "group hug!"

Love this little girls chubs! 

BIG FAN of the hot tub! 

Loving that the back of these girls heads are so similar.  Exact same colored hair, with the exact same little curls, too cute! They had a blast together! 

And finally my Mr. Lance looking quite daper for church after we got home from the cabin! 

Thanks cute Devin and Naomi for a wonderful weekend, love you guys!
