Mustang Sailor!

Well...Joe says it is more like a Volks Wagon. For our anniversary gift to each other Joe and I decided to buy Sailor her 1st car! It even converts to a walker which is what we really wanted anyway. She just loves it. Sailor is 10 months old now and she is just really into everything. She is standing more and more everyday, climbing on everything, clapping, talking more and more. She has started eating solids like Gerber graduates puffy things and cherios! She even tried some chips with bean on them at Los Primos where the hostess knows her by name!

Daddy is letting me practice for to lawn mower!

Look, isn't my car pretty!

I am lovin it! Look close you can see all 4 teeth!

Joe and I had a great anniversary weekend. We spent most of our time just playing with Sailor. Saturday evening Sailor went out to eat with Nana, Pop, Aunt Heather, Uncle Bruce and Peyton and Colton so Joe and I could go out. We headed to the lake for a nice ride only to get caught in a horrible storm. I got to see how the new boat takes the monster waves vs. the Bullet. Anyway we got to the Lighthouse Restaurant just before the rain. It worked out great. The storm passed while we ate and the water was smooth as glass for the trip back!

Happy Anniversary!

Saturday June 28, 2008, Joe and I have been married 5 years. I love to think back to that beautiful day in 2003. I am so thankful to have had such a wonderful wedding to always remember! So many people helped out in making that day so special and I am so thankful for all of them. Joe and I have been together for such a long time it is hard to remember him not being around and us not being together. We have so many wonderful memories of growing up and growing closer together. We have been through so much together and I honestly don't know what I would do without him. As it says in my profile Joe and I began dating, or liking, each other in March of 1992. Sailor and I are both so fortunate to have such a wonderful husband and daddy. I am so blessed! It's a beautiful life!

Happy Father's Day!

Joe, Sailor, Pop and I started the day at Church. I am not sure how the message was because Sailor was in rare form and she and I played in the lobby most of the morning with Rod and Addison Richards. Sailor gave daddy a new bathing suit for Father's Day. We had a wonderful afternoon at Pop and Nana's pool minus Nana who was still in Florida with the girls. Sailor had a great time playing with Peyton and Colton as usual. We ended the day with a cookout. Heather and I prepared all the food and Joe grilled. I have to say we missed Nana's burgers and the ribs were lacking but all in all it was a great day.

Daytona Beach 2008!

I have some catching up to do. It seems like my blogging time just keeps getting less and less. I am loving it though. Sailor is into so much right now and I know it will only get worse! Anyway back to the catching up. I planned to sit down Monday to catch up and how convenient, my Internet was down all day. So two weeks later I am finally posting our latest travel adventure.
We had a wonderful family vacation week before last. My family usually vacations in Venice, Florida at my Grandparents home. They have a house located about 5 minutes from 5 different beaches. We absolutely love Venice and missed going there this year. In January 2007 Heather, my sister, signed me and Joe up for a Time Share offering. We went to Pigeon Forge for my birthday and sat in on the presentation for the time share. We had decided before the presentation that we would not buy anything. Well...a couple of hours later they had offered us a deal we could not refuse. We decided to buy a package that would allow us to go on a cruise or to Hawaii in the next two years. Well...I found out little Sailor was on the way right after we purchased. So long story short. We needed to use this package we purchased within two years and I did not want to go on a cruise or as far away as Hawaii while pregnant or with Sailor being less than a year old. Daytona was the closest beach resort in driving distance available so it was either use it or loose it. We had a great time. We were a little disappointed in the town of Daytona but our resort was really nice! Sailor absolutely loved the pool, lazy river, sand, ocean, you name it. She was a real trooper on the ride too and from. I was a little nervous because she hates her car seat and to ride. We carpooled with Nana and Pop due to soring gas prices. We figured we saved around four hundred dollars this way. She slept a lot on the way down, but played the whole way back even with an added hour to our trip, thanks Nana! Nana had an extended vacation, we met her best friends Pam and Vicki an hour out of the way in Central Florida so Nana could travel on south to Venice for an extra ten days...must be nice!
Sorry for all of the pictures. I had began uploading the pics before I realized how many I was going to post. I really should have made a slide show.
