Cocoa Beach!

We spent 2 beautiful days at the beach. 

 

We rented body boards and the kids loved it. I'm sure having a surfer Dad helped them out. He has caught his share of waves.

Like a pro!

Thanks Dad! 

We had to hit up the Ron Jon Surf Shop! Out in front of the store is a statue of the best surfer of all time, Kelly Slater. Markham met him in Hawaii in 2001. Super cool!

The best time with my favorite people! 

Dance Competition!

We stayed the night in the hotel which always makes it nice and stress free in the morning.

 Best of all, we enjoyed a yummy and fun dinner with Jodi and Bryn. 

Dance friends are the best friends. 

Cheers!

First thing in the morning! All fresh and ready to go!

Awesome girls, fabulous friends

Love you KP! Had the best time with you! xoxox You're a beautiful dancer.

Valentine's Day with a POLAR VORTEX

Valentine's Day fell on a Sunday this year, which was perfect. We had a blast at home together. 

It snowed!!

The kids enjoyed their traditional mailboxes filled with goodies. 

They were pumped to find a gift card to Disneyworld for our spring break trip!!! 

SO EXCITED!!

It was so SUPER cold, (8 degrees!) but they had to get out there and play in it. 

They have the best Dad around.

....all while pork slow cooked in the crockpot.

Snow day to remember! 

Temperatures dropped to historic lows over the next few days. It went sub zero at night! It caused a lot of damage and a lot of people lost electricity for several days. The schools closed for the week. We only lost power for one day in a rolling outage to try and take pressure off the system. We were pretty close to a serious disaster. The power grid was close to a complete melt down which would have left all of us without power for a month! Thankfully that didn't happen.

Our best Cafe Rio dupe. It was so good! 

We love you kiddos!! Had so much fun with y'all today!  xoxoxox
