Michael's Fishing trip with the Guys

Michael went spear fishing with Jonathon, Jared and Greg Paxton today. He came home with huge fish and one enormous lobster. It seems like they had a great time! Good job boys!!!!!

Our Family Vacation

Michael, Macie and I went on vacation to Cocoa Beach for a few days as part of our Anniversary. We had a blast!!! We were sooo lazy the whole vacation. I don't know what we would have done if the olympics weren't on TV. It was so nice to hang out together as a family. Michael and I even cooked togther.It was great!!

2 year Anniversary=First date since baby Macie

Date Night!!!

Michael and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary tonight! We had such a great time together... just the two of us. It was the first date we have been on together since baby Macie. It was really weird not having her with us. Michael kept catching me walking to the wrong side of the car (where I usually get Macie out) all night. We went to Amura and then Michael took me to the mall to pick out a couple of new shirts... he knows how much I love to shop!!! Macie stayed with Rhea and played with Jayden. Thanks Aunt Rhea and Uncle Geoffrey for watching our girl! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. Thank you Michael for all you do for our family. These last two years have been amazing!

Cousin Cori's Visit

Cori came down to visit Michael, Macie and I for a couple of days. We had so much fun with her and were sad to see her go home. She was such a good girl for Michael and I. We tried to make her visit special. Here are some things she did.

Macie waiting so patiently while Cori was riding the horse.

Play date with Jayden Parker

Rhea called this morning and invited Macie over to play with Jayden. Macie and Jayden have always gotten along so good together and love playng together. Jayden is such a sweet boy and shares all of his toys with Macie. He even pushed her around the house in the walker. Macie had a great time playing with all of his cool toys. Thanks so much for inviting us to come over. Macie had a blast with Jayden!

Our vacation with the Paxtons

Michael, Macie and I went to the keys with the Paxtons for mini lobster season. We had so much fun together! Macie loved the boat and was such a good sport all day out in the sun. Macie liked holding the tickle stick to catch the lobster with! We didn't catch too many lobster but we still had a great time! The place we stayed was really nice and right on the water. Here is a picture of it to show off how cute it was :) Thank you so much for inviting us to go with ya'll, we had a blast! Next year you will have a sweet little baby to help you catch some lobster!

Macie is almost 8 months old!!!

Macie is almost 8 months old!!! I can't believe how fast she has grown up. Macie has learned many new things this month. Some things she has learned are how to feed herself cherrios, how to pull herself up onto a basket, how to get up on all fours and scoot while sitting up. The most exciting thing for me is that she said her first word!!! Macie said "Momma" for her first word. I was

so excited because most babies say " Da Da" first. She is such a sweet and loving baby. We are so blessed!
