There's a first for everything....



I truly enjoy blogging about our journey as parents and sharing all the pictures of our family with you...but most of all I hope that one day Kennedy and Presley will love reading this blog and cherish each memory I have tried to capture for them. Our girls bring us so much joy everyday!

Our Family Staycation!

Rusty planned a much needed getaway for us to the Gaylord Palms Resort here in Orlando.  Little did we know it would quickly become a place to add to our "WE NEED TO DO THIS AGAIN" list.  It was the perfect place for kids with a huge water play area, music, and just fun for all!  Kennedy had a blast exploring the water area (with no fear, Lord help us).  Of course she was obsessed with the stairs on the play area so we got a work out.  She didn't even mind the big kids shooting her with water guns!  We enjoyed our time by the pool with some adult drinks and family time and then that night Rusty and I got a chance to go out to eat at one of the many restaurants in the resort.  It was such a nice little break from reality! 

Kennedy's first reaction when we entered the resort was WOW!  She and mommy were so happy to be on vacation!
 

Off to the pool right away!  Water baby!
 

Just chillin in the water :)
 

She kept putting her finger in the water holes!
 

 Presley was sunning in the shade! 
 

Happy Girls!

The resort was so pretty on the inside too.  Plants everywhere, so peaceful.  I just like this picture of my big girl and I!
 

Me and my big baby snuck off for a beer at the bar! A must on vacation with kids, haha!
 

Uncle Matty, Uncle Todd, and Landon came to stay there too!
 

The kids LOVE Uncle Matty, I mean seriously who wouldn't??!! #bestfuturedaddyever

 There is my sweet baby girl hangin by the pool!
 
 Bathing Beauty
 
And this is what we do when both kids are napping and you brought your Aunt with you on vacation and she can sit in the hotel room :) 

 Love my sista brotha!
 
Boy time in the shade...Next time we are renting one of those cabanas behind them!
I think Matt and Auntie really enjoyed the pool drinks this day, haha!
 

Milk coma.  Perfect ending to a perfect getaway!
 
So perfect that I kidnapped Rusty for Father's Day and took him back!!!  Turns out teachers get a discount there (another perk)!!  We went for one night for a little mommy and daddy time and got to enjoy the all adult pool this time and catch some zzzzzzzzzzs:) 

I love this man!
