Daytona Day 1

We left EARLY (3:45 a.m.) this morning and headed out on our journey. Our first stop is Daytona Beach, Florida. We will be here until Sunday. Some friends of ours are coming in tonight. We got here around lunch time. Our hotel is great. We have an AMAZING view. We were also delightfully surprised to find out that our room has a kitchen complete with full-size fridge, sink, stove top, and dishes. We decided rather than finding something to eat we would just eat some of the stuff that we had brought with us. After lunch there was quite the rain storm. After it passed we put the girls in their bathing suits and headed to the beach. They had so much fun. After the beach Daniel and I got changed into our suits and the four of us enjoyed the pool for a while. We decided to venture out for dinner and see what we could see. We spotted some cool putt-putt courses so I am sure we will end up there one day this week. We ate dinner at a place called The Charlie Horse. The girls both ate well. We followed dinner up with some ice cream at a place called Cow Lick. I would say we had an awesome first day. Enjoy the pictures. Packed and ready to go!

We've been busy

We have been busy around here. I have finished my first semester of school. By the skin of my teeth I came out with two A's. Molly has finished up her first year of pre-k, we are off on vacation as of EARLY Thursday morning and let's see...OH YES...ABBEY IS POTTY TRAINED!!!! Last week she decided that let the light bulb come on. She is going pee pee and poo poo in the big potty and hasn't had but maybe one accident in her pull-up. Early in the month we attended the wedding of Daniel's cousin. Molly was flower girl. I hope you enjoy the pictures from what we have been doing the last month.

The end of her first school year

This year has really flown by fast. I can't believe that Molly is already done with pre-k. It seems like just yesterday we were getting her supplies ready to go. A school year later and she is reading on a first grade level, knows up to third grade sight words, and is an all around smart kid! I couldn't be prouder.

Can you tell a difference?

Molly was a flower girl

Isn't she pretty. Mom did a great job on the dress. Several people wanted to know where it came from and then wanted to know if mom would make them one. I told them no of course. They also asked if we rented Molly out for flower girl duties.

My new program

I have been really feeling the frustration with my weight lately. A friend of mine introduced me to this video. Jillian is one of the trainers from the Biggest Loser. The video has three level of workouts and each lasts 20 or so minutes. I started Monday night and have done it every night so far this week. It definatly kicks my butt on level 1 and stupid me decided I wanted a change of scenery and went to level 2 tonight (I will be back on level 1 tomorrow). My goal is to eventually loose about 70 pounds or so. I think that this is something that I am going to be able to stick with. I hope I start seeing results soon!

Why does the Easter Bunny not stop at our house??

I think the picture explains its self. This is why there is no Easter Bunny that stops by our house. He comes and sees them everywhere else! Molly and Abbey kept getting asked at church what the Easter Bunny brought to their house and people were shocked when they said "nothing." I think it is safe to say that no one should feel sorry for them!

Church on Easter Sunday

This morning at church we had a wonderful breakfast and then the kids had ANOTHER egg hunt. Abbey stuck to the little egg hunting area while Molly decided she would hunt with the big kids (a.k.a why I don't have pictures of her). Molly actually beat out the others to find the "treasure" egg. The eggs kept them entertained through church and then we had a nice afternoon out in C.S. with Mom and Dad.
