My New Hobby




So bicycling is my new hobby! I am sick of being out of shape and I hate leaving Macie to exercise so this is a great way for us to spend time together. I took Macie today for the first time in her new bike trailer and she loved it! She didn't fuss at all. So this is just another way of transportation for Macie. First the stroller, then the wagon and now the bike trailer. Michael thinks I'm crazy for all of these things I have gotten her, but guys just don't understand sometimes ... but we still love them! I hope this lasts and I don't burn myself out because I really enjoyed it this morning. Even though I was extremelly tired when I was finished ;)

Dressing up Macie!







My sister-in-law Cindi made me this super cute apron for my birthday!!! I just love it! She asked me to send her a pic of it so I did.... and then I decided to throw it on Macie and see what she thought! These pictures actually turned out pretty cute! Thanks Cindi so much for the apron and the new blogger layout! Your the Best!

Completed Internship

Just wanting to let everybody know that I am finished with school!!!!! I finished my internship yesterday! I am so excited to be a stay at home mommy again! I am so thankful for the opportunity that I had to intern with the March of Dimes. It is a wonderful organization! Just wanted to let everybody know that I didn't quit.... I finished!

Macie's New Word

Macie started saying a new word on Friday! Taco! Isn't that weird? I have never even given her a taco. I even HATED mexican food when I was pregnant. I have no idea where she got this from. She has been watching Dora so maybe she got it from there? I have no idea but it is too cute when she says it! I just love her! She is so full of personality!


PJ's







I just love these pajamas! They are my favorite!

A Wonderful Morning with Macie!





































Today I had several errands to run in Mount Dora but decided to make a stop at the park first to let Macie get some energy out. Macie met two new friends (both boys) and loved playing at the park. We had to cut it short because she needed a diaper change... so I laid her down in the back of my car and she spotted her favorit toy... her wagon! I then decided to take her on a little walk which led into a walk into downtown Mount Dora. I wheeled her to the cupcake shop where she got to pick out her own cupcake. She first pointed to the vanilla with rainbow sprinkles but then she looked up and saw her favorite on the top shelf... chocolate on chocolate! Macie was so excited and ate almost the whole cupcake by herself on the way back to the car! I loved spending this time with her. It was even more fun because none of it was planned! I am always having to make plans and sitck to them, but I realized that not have any plans was even better! These pictures were taken with my cellphone so they aren't the best... but I didn't plan for this so I forgot the camera :)

Another Trip to the Beach


Macie pulled out Geoffrey's last piece of pizza out of the refrigerator and sat down and started eating it... geoffrey was a little annoyed I think because he wanted it but it was cute to see her try to eat it because it was a HUGE piece of pizza!



















Macie, Brianna, Natalie and I went to Cocoa Beach while everybody else went on the Trek! Rhea and the boys came down a couple days later and Macie loved having friends to play with! We went on walks, Natalie and Brianna got to cook, watched movies and basically just hung out. Macie and Jayden learned how to open the refrigerator so Jayden would climb in and Macie would shut the door part way while he was looking for his apples! Man was it hard to keep them out of there! Macie loves the beach! I pulled her in her wagon for almost an hour and she laid down in there with her sunglasses and never really even moved. It was so cute how relaxed she was. Michael came down on Sunday even though he was exhausted from the pioneer trek. Macie and I were so excited because we really missed him! Once again we had a great week at the beach... I'm kind of wanting to move there... until hurricane season comes :)

Easter day and afternoon

Looking at what she found... eating candy






































Smelling grammie's flowers

















Swinging on the hammock










Daddy and Macie






































Playing with her new purse













Macie looked so cute in her Easter dress! She even had her own purse! She walked into church holding her little purse with a huge smile on her face. After church we went to Grammie and Poppie's for dinner. They had an Easter egg hunt for the kids and once again Macie loved it! She found a couple of eggs put them in her basket and then started eating the candy out of them. Macie had fun playing with Kohl and jumping on the trampoline. Easter was great! We had such a wonderful day!

Macie's Easter Basket



The mess the Easter bunny left for mommy to clean up!













Easter morning was a blast! The Easter bunny left a trail of Macie's favorite candy from her bed that led all the way to her basket. He also made a huge mess in the living room! Easter grass and eggs everywhere! Macie picked out all of the real eggs that she colored and put them on the firplace. She then crushed each egg by squeezing them in her hands. She thought it was hilarious. Daddy cooked chocolate chip pancakes to top the morning off!
