Firsts

Reagan experienced her first violin lesson this week.  She really enjoyed it and is eager to learn more!

Enjoying lately...

Spring sunrises with a hot cup of coffee...

After bath giggles with this one...

Scooter rides despite the chilly temps...

Prepping for Spring pics...

Lego play with Papa!

Her favorite lemonade paired with a new dance shirt (thanks Gramma and Grandpa K!) and wishing it was summer...

Time for science!

Rea had a Girl Scout troop gathering at the Science Center where they learned how the Imax movies are loaded, played, got a back stage tour and then got to watch an Imax movie- fun times!

The girls also enjoyed exploring the science center and making musical instruments!

We brought the science fun home and decided to try out some homemade stuff!

Spring Break Part 2

We took a much needed one day hiatus where pj's reined and McD's was on the menu...

Ipod Snuggles...

Drive thru in pj's is the best...

The timing was perfect for movie night during midweek church night!

Rea brought a friend and even got to lead the prayer before the movie....so proud of her!

Then we packed up the snow pants, boots and scarves and headed north for some spring break fun with family!

Girls lunching...

Fun in the snow!

How do I always fall for the, 'Mommy, I reeeaaalllyyy need a new pillow!' trick?!

Imaginarium fun with cousins!

Homemade play doh is the best!

Fun morning at the library up north...

"petting instrument zoo" turned out to be a success and Rea asked to start violin lessons!

Face painting, balloon animals and photo bomb courtesy of her Uncle Chris!

She loves holding baby Lex...

What a wonderful spring break making memories... I feel very fortunate for this week off work spent with some of my favorite people.  But all good things must come to an end...time to crank up the coffee pot and get back to the work grind.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Spring Break Part 1

Well I have to admit, the Florida bug bit us once again... we had so much fun last year, we decided to go again this year!

The sun, sand and ocean does not disappoint.  And the resort is so family-friendly that it doesn't feel entirely like a trip with littles, it feels like a real, magical family vacation.

Florida prep- mommy/daughter pedis!

Heading out!

We arrived! Mid 70's with a warm ocean breeze to greet us...what isn't there to love?

Tradewinds Island Resort- I would highly recommend to any with kiddos looking for an affordable getaway with so much focus on the kids and great things to do- not to mention, ocean front access and views!

We loved the ocean!

We loved the pools!

We loved the activities!

We loved the food!
Skidders-

Rumfish Grill-

Lots of ice cream!

Family pics:

Girls just wanna have fun...

Ocean views that take my breath away...

What a wonderful way to spend five days with family and friends... they went by so fast. Can't wait to go back!
