Our lucky charms!

St. Patrick's Day is such a fun day!!  I just love it!!  Everything green!! Jackson was so excited to find that the leprechauns came to our house and turned our milk green and our toilet water green and left lucky pennies in our driveway and shamrocks on his and Addison's doors!!  Then Jackson enjoyed some lucky charms for breakfast and we brought in shamrock cookies for his class!!  It was such a great day!!  Enjoy a few pictures of our little lucky charms that we love so much!!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!


Green milk and Lucky Charms for breakfast!

They sure do love each other!

Spring Break 2015!!

Spring Break 2015 was nothing short of spectacular!!  We headed to the Keys for a week of fun in the sun!!  Jackson and Addison had an absolute blast as did Ryan and I!!  So funny that the last time Ryan and I were on Spring Break in the Keys it was Spring Break 1999 with friends during college!!  Well this spring break was a little different having two kiddos but still SO MUCH FUN!!  We stayed at Mimi and Pops house and enjoyed every minute of being in paradise for Spring Break!!  We saw manatees and dolphins up close and personal as if we had our own aquarium!! Addison is still talking about the dolphins jumping!!  Most mornings the boys went fishing and the girls just hung around and relaxed!!  Then the afternoons we would head to the sandbar for the kids to play!!  And they loved it!!  Of course it took Addison a few days to warm up to the idea of the sandbar since she wasn't so sure about getting her feet wet but after the first couple of days she was loving it!!  "The judge" as Uncle Tom calls her :-) She Always has to check things out first!!  

Then Friday we headed to Key West to hangout with the Muellers!!  We just hung out at their hotel all day and the kids went from the beach to the pool to the painting/necklace making station again and again!  They had a BLAST!!  They went all day long even little Addison hung in there and was a trooper!!  And Meredith, Trey, Ryan and I hung by the pool and watched!!  We really enjoyed our time with the Muellers and can't wait to get together again!

All in all a wonderful trip and we are missing the Keys already!!!  I of course took a million pictures but I know you wouldn't expect any less!!!  Thank you Mimi and Pop for having us we had the most wonderful Spring Break!!!  Can't wait for our next trip to the keys to get some lobsters!!!

We did a quick stop in Jupiter and saw Aunt Lauren and Uncle Rob!
