Lifesaving day

You're three years old and you're in level six swimming. Everyone can't get over what a great and strong swimmer you are. You're in a life-saving class at seal swim school. 

Gator Fred's...

There is this awesome indoor playground called Gator Freds and we love going there when it's a rainy day. They have about seven bouncy houses and all these fun things for you to play with.

Carrollwood Culture Center

I love taking you to the art center because they have the nicest plays and theater productions for children. We saw "Cinderella  at the sock hop" and you actually brought your own little Cinderella doll.  You were a huge hit, they invited you on the stage and you danced with the cast. I love the dress you are wearing, auntie Jan gave you this beautiful Hibiscus sundress.

Dinner Date

We've been explaining to you that mommy and daddy like to go on dates together. You were supposed to have a play date with Gg  Gertie but she got sick that night. We all went to the new restaurant Ava and had so much fun. We love hanging out with Laura and Joe. Their children Kiersten and Cade  babysit you. Actually, they were the first babysitters to ever come over and babysit you!

Easter 2015

Dying Eggs Easter 2015

You have so much fun with Stella dying a dozen of eggs. You were covered in food Dye! On Easter, we all going to church at Sacred Heart and I sat in the third pew from the front. Grammy Kathy Gigi Gertie, pop pop,  Katie and Stella all went with us. We then went across the street from the church to the Meridian hotel and had coffee and muffins. We later went up to the Carawood country club and went on the massive egg hunt that we do every year. This year they had the cutest petting zoo with all little Easter animals to Pat and play with.
We had a huge Easter dinner and it was such a wonderful day together.

Bunny Cake Success!

We had a very big Easter brunch after church and we made a delicious bunny cake.

Busch Gardens with Stella!

Shopping & dining in Safety Harbor!

We took Stella and Katie to Tupelo on 4th and had so much fun playing with them in Safety Harbor. We had a great dinner at our favorite pizza restaurant with them. You wore the special outfit so you can match Stella. Same shoes!!!

Ritz pool time Sarasota, Florida!


Stella and Katie came down from Washington DC to visit us and we went over to see Candace and her family and little Sophia at the Ritz Carlton pool.we had so much fun playing in the pool all day. You pooped on the potty three times at the pool and started your new chapter of pooping in the potty! You did such a good job. We had lunch around the pool and then built  sand castles in the sand together.

Ballast Point

We took baby Eddie down to ballast point and had so much fun walking on the fishing pier and playing in the playground. Grammy Kathie to get us to a wonderful lunch at the restaurant on the pier.



Play time Ricer Festival Grand Opening

We love playing at the water park in Seminole Heights, just north of downtown Tampa. The new restaurant built this great waterpark for the kids along the Hillsborough River.

Ballet Class rehearsals!




I loved watching you at ballet class. While you did your bar routines she played classical music. Your recital dance music though was Alvin and the Chipmunks so it's a little hard on the ears to listen to for six months straight!

Clearwater Beach

We are so lucky because auntie Sue Sue has a beautiful house on the beach. We brought Grammie Kathie, Lana and Eddie to the beach and had so much fun playing in the pool and in the sand. We had a wonderful lunch at the Sand Pearl hotel too.
You love Dofia so much... You've been pals forever!

Eddie's visit! We are so lucky that we live here in Florida because all of our loved ones, love coming to see us.

Ella's

We found a great new restaurant called Ella's folk art café. They have the best soul food on Sunday evenings. We went there with Grammy Kathy and had so much fun.
