Destin 2011

We LOVE Destin, Florida and we had another wonderful week there this year! Can't wait to go back! Thank you to the Goff's for a wonderful week!

Please be prepared for picture overload.....and these are just some of the pictures from our camera.....John took tons more!

First let me just say how well behaved Daisy was this entire week! She is really at the perfect age for a vacation. She enjoyed it as much as we did. I was a little concerned about the flights and even though we had to get her up at 5 am.....she did awesome!

Here we are waiting for our first flight. Please note that baby is in her seat beside daisy waiting as well!

She look so OLD in this picture! She was hilarious on the flight. She wanted to listen to daddy's music, so she was dancing and reading a sky mall magazine! TOO FUNNY! My favorite is when she would start singing out loud, LOUDLY, since she had her earphones on! We seriously laughed so hard at her!

First moments at the beach! Look how cute she is with her hat and glasses, she was so excited!

So beautiful the first day, she could not WAIT to get into that pool!

Mommy and Daisy were being E.T. creatures....

So fun with Grammy and Grandpa!

POOL TIME!

I totally could live somewhere warm, where you eat with the windows open, no bugs, just the ocean breeze!

Shaving with grandpa has now become a daily ritual!

The view from our condo!

We took daisy to 'THE TRACK' one day and she was just tall enough to ride the BIG rides! She had so much fun!!!!

Isn't she so cute?

Yea for the heated pool--seriously even I got in....it was WARM!!! Leslie, Mark and baby Jolie met up with us for a couple days! Daisy LOVES baby Jolie!

Dinner out--YUMMY!

The girls!

Isn't she going to be a great big sister? I LOVE how both Leslie and daisy have their mouths open trying to get Jolie to open hers! HILARIOUS!

Daisy wanted to look just like baby Jolie....so she finally kept her hat on!!!

We took some group photos and Easter photos of daisy on the beach that all turned out GREAT. I will have to get some up after I get copies from the Goff's......what a wonderful trip. I highly recommend it. NOW, back to reality!

October 2011

We are all so excited!

Texas!

We just had the most wonderful weekend in Texas! Some of our bestest friends now live in Temple, Texas, and this was the first chance we had in a long time to see them! Daisy had the greatest time with her new friends as you will see from the photo's below (somehow we did not get a photo of the adults, just the kiddos! Silly us!)

We got to Temple on Thursday afternoon and we headed to a church park. So FUN!

Luke was teaching Daisy how to dig in the dirt....luckily they didn't find any bugs! She would have been OUT after that! They did hunt roly poly's later and she had to have her daddy hold her and kept saying, "I think that needs to go back in the bucket"......funny girl!

That night we headed to dinner. LUCKILY, Adam and Suni know the owners so they put us in the back banquet type room all to ourselves with TONS of room for the kids to run around and play....that is just what they did!!! At one point they were all looking out the window together, of course it is hard to capture it all on camera....Carson(18 months), Luke(3 in June), Daisy (3 in Sept), Ethan (4 in May), Harper (18 months).....sadly henry (3 in Nov) missed out on night one but his baby brother Harrison(5 weeks) was there!!!

The next morning we headed to gymnastics for open gym!!! LOTS OF FUN!! Except Daisy was slightly scared. She kept saying, "No, No.....I don't want to go down the drain!" WHERE has she heard this????

Jumping with Harper the only two girls in the group....poor Harper is the only girl all the time, I think she was excited to have another girl to play with!

Here is Henry....you might mistake him for the 4 year old on the mat, but actually henry is 6 weeks younger than daisy....he is just a big boy! So fun to finally see our kids play together!

Lasagna night at the Savages!

So, Daisy seems to have a little crush on Ethan.....please note in the photos below.....everyday Daisy would chase him everywhere! (and harper was right behind chasing daisy.....it was so terribly cute!)

This is her new thing....the looking at you over her glasses!!! Luckily we head to the eye doctor for her follow up this week so we can get these glasses adjusted!!

Ethan and Daisy reading

Luke's house for playgroup and enchilada night!

Ummm.....

Seriously Daisy......not okay

It was amazing how well our kids got along. They seriously had the best time! The adults also had a wonderful time. Chris and I spent a lot of time convincing them all how great OKC was and how they all need to move back after residency!!!!! Thanks friends for taking the time to make such a wonderful weekend for us! We miss you all!

School photos

We are so blessed to have such a wonderful place for Daisy to go while I am at work! Here are some recent photo's her teacher sent me.

Happiness!

It's 45 degrees outside, the sun is out and there is no wind!!!! So we went SLEDDING! We took Daisy a couple days ago when it was 15 degrees out and we only stayed 20 minutes.....but today she was ready for round two!!!! She LOVED it!

We then built a couple snow people.

Sometimes these two girls are so sweet!

Gracie making one of MANY snow angels, while we are trying to gather for a photo!

I love how both the girls had to be touching the snow-person!

And of course a quick stop at the park for some fun!

Last I heard we are supposed to get two more rounds of white stuff this week! So enjoy the sun while you can! Oh and today was day one of eye patching and Daisy did great!

Photos finally

Everyone has been asking for pictures of my little princess and her new glasses....these aren't the best but it isn't easy to get great pictures of your toddler! I think she looks adorable! She has been doing really well keeping them on and LOVES to get a prize out of the prize box each night after she has kept her glasses on ALL day!

Here is Daisy and Gracie at a birthday party last weekend:

Daddy and Daisy on their "puters"

Snow day!!! Which means all day in our PJ's......we had a fun fun day. Daddy was even here for most of the day! Here we are playing in the snow! (daddy was dying to go sledding outside and I had to keep reminding him that it was -20 and daisy could not tolerate that!)

Feeding baby some 'puffs'

Hopefully everyone stayed safe and warm today! Happy February!
