Gaylord Getaway

GiGi, Easton, Marlee, and I went to the Gaylord Palms for a Mother's Day getaway. We loved everything about Gaylord Palms and look forward to going back soon! 

The view of the resort from the balcony of our room. We stayed in the St Augustine section.

The kids loved looking down from the balcony because we were right above the gators and they could watch them!

The citrus love coming out in us, we loved the carpet with oranges  and orange blossoms on it!

Marlee looking at the BIG catfish!

She loved this!

Mar checking out the fun, new water park area at the resort!

Me and my girl

Silly girl!

Cookie break!

Marlee's in Key West :)

Look at the BIG sailfish that Easton and Mar Mar caught!

Marlee spotted a bird just as we snapped this picture!

GiGi and Mar

Uncle Frank came up on Wednesday evening and hung out with us for dinner and night swimming!

We loved all the pretty flowers!

We ate dinner at Wreckers Sports Bar and the kids thought their fish display was awesome!

Night swimming with Uncle Frank and Easton...it was too cold for me to get in, so good ole Uncle Frank got in and swam with them!

Hey Mommy!

Ice cream time...only on vacation do you get ice cream at 10:30 at night!!!

Sweet cousins sharing ice cream!

Fountain fun!

GiGi with her two sweet grand babies!

Ice cream treat

We took Marlee up to Frostbite this evening for a yummy ice cream treat!  She truly enjoyed it! :)

Feeding Sissy

Marlee loves to hand feed her Sissy now and is so proud of herself for doing it!  Gracie loves it as well as you can tell from the picture!  My two little princesses!

Riding Roxy

Roxy is such a sweet dog and Marlee loves her to pieces!  Her favorite thing to do with Roxy right now, is to ride her like a horse.  Roxy just sits there and lets Marlee get on top of her, roll all over her, pet her, etc... Of course, Marlee does feed Roxy about 20 treats a day so I would say they are best friends! :)

Baby Doll

Marlee loves baby dolls!  This makes me so happy because I loved baby dolls when I was little, so her and I have a blast playing baby dolls together! 
This afternoon she decided that her baby doll needed to go to the grove with us...it was so cute and sweet!

Super Moon

Marlee loves to look at Mr. Moon and tonight he was Super Mr. Moon!  We enjoyed looking at him on this special night and playing outside in the dark because it was so bight that you could see in the dark!

Happy 1st Birthday Kolton!

Today we celebrated cousin Kolton's 1st Birthday!  The theme of the party was monkeys and Jen did a fabulous job of coordinating everything to match the theme.  Kolton is a precious blue eyed boy and we were so happy to celebrate his special day with him!

Marlee and I with Jen and Kolton

My little balloon loving girl was in heaven having all kinds of balloons to play with!

I love these two sweet girls!

What Mom???  All of these presents and I can't open any of them!!!

Brooker cousins...you can tell it was Marlee's nap time at this point because my camera ready girl was over the pictures at this point!

Slide

My grandma came by and visited for a bit and before she left she gave Marlee one of those soft, sweet peppermint candies.  This was Marlee's first time eating one of these and you can tell by her shirt that she loved it!  She was all smiles eating her candy and playing on her slide!

Boots

Marlee was helping Daddy work in the grove this evening wearing her cute "Grove Boots"!  :) 

P.S. She thought it was a little too hot for clothes this evening as well, the boots were all she needed she wear!

Biker Babe

Uncle Frank has a street bike that Mar thinks is really cool.  Everytime we go to his house she wants to sit on it...I know she would love to go for a ride...but that ride will just have to wait until she gets bigger!

She loves shaving cream!

Marlee loves shaving cream and thinks its an essential to play with at bathtime now.  If I don't get it for her out of the drawer, she will climb out of the bath tub and open the drawer and get it herself!  Smart and determined girl I must say! :)
