Don't give up on us!

I should be getting my computer back by the end of the week. I'll have lots of updates, including Sea World and Easter. Until then, enjoy this random photo I found of Mady at the strawberry patch back in January.

Mommy and Mady Afternoon

This afternoon I picked Mady up early from daycare and headed over to Disney Hollywood Studios. Since we're passholders we try to go as often as we can before the summer heat arrives. Today Mady and I went to the Disney Playhouse Live show and the Beauty and the Beast Show. We've been to the Disney Playhouse Live show several times and Mady loves it. There's the usual group: Mickey and the gang, Little Einsteins, Handy Manny, and Pooh and Friends. We also decided to go see Beauty and the Beast. I've never taken Mady to this live show, nor have I ever been. It was so much fun! It was a musical with dancers and costumes. It was awesome and Mady loved the princesses! We're heading back to Disney to go to the Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT for Mother's Day. I know Jacob's not too excited, but since it's Mother's Day I get to choose!

All smiles at the Disney Playhouse Live Show!

Mady loved the characters that came to life!

Twinkle Toes

Today was Mady's first official ballet class. Last week was just a trial class to see if she would enjoy it and actually participate. Mady wore her pink leotard, pink tights, and pink ballet slippers. However, the ballet slippers came off within 5 minutes. I guess we'll be going to Payless and getting the "real" ballet shoes. Maybe the Easter bunny will bring them? Mady and Sarah practiced the routine they'll perform at the recital in June. When they brought the parents in at the end to see the dance, Mady didn't really participate. Hopefully as the weeks go by she'll actually dance. Otherwise she'll be standing pretty in her recital costume! Tomorrow morning we're headed off to St. Augustine beach for the weekend. We love long weekends! Kaitlyn is staying with my mom and we're meeting up with some friends and their kids. Stay tuned for pictures!

Ready to dance!

Picnic in the Park

Mady has been begging us to go on a picnic in the park for about the past week or so. Since the weather has been really nice, I've been wanting to take her. However, with an infant combined with the fact that I really just don't like getting sandy and dirty, I've been avoiding it. Well, today was Mady's lucky day! We met some friends at Gemini Springs for a birthday party. Voila! Mady got her picnic in the park! We had a great time, the weather was perfect, and KK got in the swing for the first time! My feet are sandy and dirty, but nonetheless, a great time was had!

I had to include a picture of the cake, it was beautiful!

Disney Playhouse Live!

Tonight I took Mady to Disney Playhouse Live at the Amway Arena. We met up with our friends Sarah, Emily, and Emily's friend. The show featured Mickey Mouse and his friends, Handy Manny, Little Einsteins, and Pooh, Tigger, and Darby. The girls had a great time and even got up to dance a few times.

Splashground at the Zoo

On Saturday we took a trip to the Central Florida Zoo to check out the animals, but more importantly we wanted to go to the splashground since the weather's been in the 80s lately. Mady loved the splashground and KK enjoyed a nap in daddy's arms in the shade. It was a great afternoon, and more importantly it didn't cost anything since we're zoo members!

Check out my awesome Dora towel I got for my birthday!
