Photo dump from our awesome weekend :)

Whew! What a weekend. We had a blast running around.... Friday we did the usual grocery run and then we headed to the Tampa Bay Yankees "Back-to-School" game. They had the Tampa Kids Market in the concourse, $2 tickets, fireworks after the show and they won by one point at the bottom of the ninth. Slow start but awesome way to end the game!

YAY THEY WON! Andrew was crying because of the loud cheering.....

Saturday we headed to the Lowry Park Zoo's birthday bash for their one-year old Elephant calf, Mavi. We got to see her and her mother be released to their "Birthday Cake", had some actual birthday cake, and played in the splash park. 

A whole splash park, but he had to play with the stroller wheels, lol

Then he needed to ride the train....

Birthday cake!!

The Llama's expression. Priceless.

After lunch and a nap, we headed to an annual family party at USF for the Alumni Center Administration. It was SO much fun! They had a DJ, lots of games, some yummy food and lots of fun things to take home.

Once we arrived, Andrew saw the margarita maker and instantly freaked because blenders=smoothies, of course. Ha...Also, after finishing his hot dog he started a tantrum and no matter what we tried we couldn't figure it out. We tried feeding him multiple other things but other than A bite of my hamburger he would not eat or drink anything. After about 5 minutes Jesse got up and brought back a second hot dog. We cut it up and instant calm. He scarfed that one down too and then finished a good amount of his other food. Oh boy.

He also wet himself really badly part way through and we only had a onesie packed so he ran around in a onesie and sandals for about 90 minutes. We also made the mistake of showing him the fountain so long story short he went home with his whole front soaking wet haha.

Balloon artist made him a Minion :)

Loot!

Some ducks crossed our paths. A is smiling so big, while hubby is like "Keep your distance, ducks."

Sunday my mother watched the little man while hubby and I attended church, and then he surprised me with a movie date! We got a whole bucket of popcorn and hunkered down for "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes", which was really good.

Hope y'all had a great weekend full of fun! TTFN <3

Catching up...

Wow, I had no idea it had been so long since my last post! Anybody else feel like May lasted about a year, and June went by in a blink?? It's nuts.

Well not too terribly much to say, but have a bit of a photo dump to share!

Family photo in front of the Elephants

Andrew LOVED playing in the Kid's splash zone at the zoo! Definitely planning another trip there in the next week or so (with swim suit, haha)

Went to our favorite breakfast place, Brunchies. Andrew had blueberry pancakes, milk and melon

At Family First Sunday at our Church

Playground fun!

Having some giggles on the swings

Father's Day loot! We went to see a couple movies the night before and I cooked him a steak dinner that night :)

Little man is finally beginning to be interested in coloring

And he now loves pushing his toy bus around the floor and table doing his version of "Vroom-vroom"

We've been going to the HCCB Music & More classes, going to the pool at least once or twice a week, Jesse has been working a bunch and it just seems like the days are flying by!

Also, I'm making a Toddler Fashion board on Pinterest! It's all boy stuff so far but check out the few pieces I have if you want! I'll also be posting A's outfits around once or twice a month.
Here's the Pinterest link: Andrew Fashion

Alright, that's all I've got at the moment, TTFN! <3

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you awesome peoples!

I was fortunate enough to spend the day with my hubby, the little man, and my mother.

We went to the zoo Saturday afternoon, saw a Sea Lion show, walked around and rode the carousel.

Someone had a little too much fun ;)

Later that day while Andrew was down for a nap, Jesse and I made some delicious steaks, garlic mashed potatoes and shared a bottle of moscato. Then we headed off to see the ballet "Sleeping Beauty" which was a lot of fun!

Sunday morning I got breakfast in bed, some stress easing aromatherapy bath salts and massage oil, some sweet cards, and a big bottle of Moscato from my mom.

That night after munchkin went to bed, my mom and I shared our favorite guilty pleasure meal-- corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and hashbrowns while we watched "Blind Side". I got to lay  in bed and read for a few hours before going to sleep. It was awesome. I also received mimosas throughout the day haha! Hubby knows me well :)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! TTFN! <3

Weekend adventures!

Hokay, so long story short, the reasons why I have been MIA lately are: we've had lots of out-of-state visitors, busy schedules, appointments galore and yes even some pretty substantial personal issues going on so far in 2014. BUT we're not going to talk about that, we're going to talk about the weekend  :)

Friday we spent home, went for a long walk and made some yummy peach smoothies -- Andrew's first smoothie! And he LOVED it, Even "asked" for more, haha

Saturday was quite full. We went to a member's only event at the zoo....

They had a special Sea Lion show/ free pictures with Stella and Kitty, and we purchased our own little stuffed Stella ;)

They had VERY fishy breath ;)

Later, we went to Walmart, Whole Foods, Target, Payless and Lenscrafters. We were able to get all the groceries, new sneakers for me and some good boots for Andrew and I got 2 scratch-free pairs of glasses, yay!

My husband went to pick up my car from it's oil change and then we became couch potatoes for the rest of the day.

Sunday we slept in so we missed going to church BUT we did go to Bok Tower gardens! It's their 85th year and it is peak season, so we walked around admiring flowers and lounged in the shade by the tower blowing bubbles and walking the little man all over.

Had to end the evening with Shamrock Shakes, of course ;-P

In other news, I *think* we have our travel plans completed. We're flying to Minnesota for 2 weeks for my brother-in-law's wedding next month and we're so excited! They are Andrew's godparents and it'll also be the first time Andrew is at a big family event so it'll be lots of fun!

Alright, off to clean! I am definitely going through one of my OCD phases again haha

TTFN! <3
