Last minute trip to the beach!

Hanging out in the wagon eating a snack

Rhea and I took a last minute trip to the beach for a couple of days. The kids had a blast together as usual and it was really nice getting away. We had Rhea's extended Expedition loaded down with everything we needed for a couple of days and then decided we needed to pick up one last thing. A Wagon! I had some gift cards from Christmas that I have been wanting to spend so I decided to buy a wagon. Wow! It was a life saver. Jayden and Macie loved the wagon and it made things so much easier. I have to admit that I stayed up until 2:00 in the morning by myself watching "Sweet Home Alabama" which is my favorite movie! It was so nice to have really nothing we had to do but hang out and play with the kids! Thanks Rhea for going down there with us! We had a blast!

Playing with Daddy

So today Michael and Macie were outside on the porch playing as usual and I was inside cleaning. I went to go put something in my room and when I walked by I glanced out the glass door and had to do a double take. I thought to myself how could Macie's crawl tunnel be standing straight up like that and then I realized that Michael was inside of it! I was dieing laughing because he was being so goofy. Macie loves playing with her daddy and thought it was funny too! I would have never thought of getting in the crawl tunnel to play with Macie. Too CuTe!

Mommy Daughter Date!!

Michael had to work tonight so I decided to take advantage of the time and have a mommy daughter date with Macie. I drove Macie all the way over to Lake Mary to a pond with ducks. Macie is totally into ducks so I thought she would love to feed them. We then ate dinner together at Pollo Tropical. She was so good and sat on my lap through dinner. We then headed over to the mall so Macie could play at the play place in the mall. After Macie was finished playing I bought her a chocolate chip cookie with icing and then she got to pick out a book in the bookstore. She picked out a pooh book that had a doodle pad connected to it. I had such a wonderful time with her. She is such an amazing little girl. I am so very blessed to have her in my life.

Jayden and Macie's play date

Jayden came over and had a play date with Macie. These two are absolutely in love with each other. They play so well together and entertain eachother completely. They got to play in Macie's new pool, jump on the trampoline and have a picnic lunch on the back porch. I think they had a great time together! He even gave her a kiss at the end of the day!

Unlce Donald's Farm

Today Rhea and I took the kids to Uncle Donalds Farm! The first thing Macie did was face plant into the black dirt! Then she went over to the car we parked next to and hung on the handle (whole body off the ground). Once we went into the farm, Macie wasn't really sure about all of the animals. She liked the zoo so I thought she would like this for sure. I think she didn't like that some animals weren't in cages. I tried milking a goat which was disgusting and harder than I thought it would be. Macie really liked the bunny rabbits, the hay ride and walking around by the chicken coups. She also liked looking at the small chickens under the lights in the barn. Macie just likes hanging out with Jayden no matter where she is. I thought the baby goats were too cute! There was one that I wanted to put in my purse and take home. Macie, Jayden and I were feeding the older goats some corn and Macie dropped some... so not thinking I set the small brown bag full of feed on the post and helped Macie. But then one of the big goats stole the bag of food! Rhea was watching and laughing like crazy because I was fighting the goat for the bag of food. I was nervous that I was going to get in trouble for the goat eating a bag! He won the fight and ate part of the bag. Thanks Rhea and Jayden for going with us we had a blast! We missed you Payton, Missy and Britton!

A day at the lake!

Today Michael, Macie and I met his family at Lake Weir. My dad and Konnie let us borrow their boat for the day! We had a blast! Macie loved the boat... she especially liked walking around on the boat while daddy was driving super fast! I even tubed! I have created this thing with alligators and I normally won't get in the water. However, I made a deal with Allie and said if she got in then I would. I am so glad that I did. We had such a fun day together. Michael's dad cooked hot dogs and we made smores on the grill. What a fun day!

Weekend at the Beach!

This weekend Michael, Macie and I went over to the condo at the beach. We had a blast! Macie was fun to watch because she has gotten a little older since the last time we took her to the beach. She LOVED the ocean. Even though it was freezing cold we couldn't keep her out of it. She also discovered some birds on the beach. Michael gave the birds a little bit of crumbs from his lunch and of course Macie was watching. So she then decided to give all of her food to the birds. I even kept saying "Macie you need to eat your food" she would then stick her hand in the bag of chips, put a chip up to her mouth and then throw it to the birds. She also liked seeing the airplanes that flew over the beach. Macie entertained herself for a while with her little green bucket. I put some water and sand in the bucket to make a drip castle and Macie actually made a small one of her own. She then started to take sand and throw it in the bucket. She probably did this for 15 minutes laughing and playing with the sand and water. She loved going in the swimming pool and kicking her legs in the water! Macie is so much fun and is full of personality!

Macie's first shower!!!

Macie took her first shower today. I tried one other time but she screamed her head off. I was about to get in the shower this morning and she really wanted to get in. I figured since she loves the splash parks at the Gaylod Palms and the zoo that she might be ready for

the shower. She loved it. She is getting big too fast!! :)

A trip to the Zoo!!!

My computer was being super slow and wasn't letting me write anything about the zoo so I decided to write a seperate post about the zoo. Michael, Macie and I went to the Central Florida Zoo. We had a blast! Macie loved looking at all of the animals. She especially loved feeding the goats and playing in the splash park. However, I never would have thought they had a splash park at the zoo so she had play in the water with her clothes on. She loved playing in the water! What a great day we had!
