Happy Valentine's Day and Sea World!


Happy Valentine's Day! We just got back from a wonderful trip to Orlando, Florida. We had an amazing time!! The main reason for the trip was to help Greg's long time friend, Andrew, renovate some property that he bought. While they renovated, we got to play! We spent the first day at Sea World. Jacksonloved it! He got to pet a dolphin and stingray and loved the Shamu Show. The house was filled with kids and Jackson had so much fun playing with all of them. Surprisingly, despite having 5 kids in the house, we all left unscathed. His best friend of the weekend was definately Sarah. She is the same age as Jackson and they were two peas in a pod. They have similar personalities and loved to be in eachother's faces the entire time. They would feed eachother, scream in eachother's faces, and run around the house after eachother. Unfortunately, I only got a few pictures from our trip because as soon as we got there, our camera died. Boo! We had a great visit and can't wait to see them all again next month for the River Run! As far as Valentine's Day, I spent a wonderful, relaxing day with my two favorite boys. Jackson and I made Daddy a heart shaped cookie cake to show him how much we love him. Jackson did such a good job putting on the sprinkles and was excellent at eating icing! Jackson was so excited when Daddy got home that he ran out after him and yelled "Happy Cake Day Daddy!" He couldn't quite get Valentine's out. It was so cute!!

Look at the cake I made you daddy! Unfortunately, Jackson could not contain his excitement and had to taste the icing.








OOOOOH! Candy!!!







Posing with his new Thomas movie.









Valentine frog from daddy! Jackson kept hopping around saying "Ribbit!"








One of only a couple pics that I got from our trip to Florida. This is as we entered SeaWorld!
Jackson loved to push Sarah around the park in the stroller.
Posing with the penguins. And then....my camera died :( Next trip I will make sure my camera is fully charged.




This last picture is what happens when you let a 2 year old pick out his pajamas. He insisted on wearing his car shorts over his football pjs.
