fall break 2015

Fall Break was a blast! We got to relax some, play some, celebrate some, and just be with each other. It was a wonderful time away from the everyday craziness of life and much appreciated.

We went to the Indianapolis Zoo one day and I took Amie to see Dirty Dancing on Broadway for her birthday present :) So much fun on both days!

Huber's with my work family was a blast. We picked pumpkins, had lunch, and drank some yummy sangria.

Chelsea is now Mrs. Riggle! We had so much fun celebrating with her at her beautiful wedding and reception.

We celebrated our sixth anniversary over fall break, too. So many memories together!

We spent our anniversary as a family :) Went to the Cards scrimmage game and then went to Ditto's. It was awesome.

We spent the Saturday before Cam's birthday at the Indianapolis Children's Museum and had a blast! The girls got to see everything and had so much fun. We loved looking at the cool exhibits and getting to hang out with our BFF's. It was a wonderful day!

Note: Please notice the pictures ta the bottom. Nick and Chris playing Jenga and Nick wearing the dinosaur costumes. They had just as much fun as the girls did!

vacay 2015!

We hit up Fort Walton Beach, Florida for this year's beach vacation, and man, did we have a blast! Even though we were a little cramped in our three bedroom condo with ten people, we had a ton of fun and laughs. Ellie liked the beach and tolerated the pool, which made me happy. We got some shopping in, ate awesome seafood, and had a plain old good time.

Our last night.. so much fun!

Dick teaching Ellie the proper way to ski-ball

Pop won both of these crazy girls a Minion from Fudpucker's.

Best buddies on the beach... life doesn't get much sweeter.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these 2.

Such a great trip! Hopefully, see you next year, beach!

Two girls ready for their first day (sidenote: Ellie picked out her bathing suit in JCPenney a few months ago. She refused to leave the store without it.)

The best $15 ever spent at the Disney Store. The girls played with those tea sets all week.

How does Pop sleep like that?

Have our cute hats and are ready to go!

Ellie was knocked out and was in Chris' arms for about a half hour. See, they do love each other :)

On the car ride back. Someone was exhausted from their trip!

cleveland rocks!

Nick and I went up to Cleveland to visit Carol and Kevin (Nick's aunt and uncle) for a night. Kevin graciously offered us tickets to the Indians vs. Reds game, and I had never been to another MLB park other than Cincinnati. Crazy, I know. Huge baseball fan and only been to one stadium. But now, I have been to two. It was a great weekend!

People LOVED the Joey Votto screenprint. What a great find at the Maxx by Amie!

Cheese and caramel popcorn mixed. AMAZING. My favorite thing about that ballpark, lol.

I dragged Nick to the outlet malls in Jeffersonville, Ohio on the way home. Look what we found for Marie!

frozen on ice!

Frozen has been all the rage around here lately, and we saw that there was a show in Nashville the first weekend of Fall Break. We decided that would be an awesome mini-vacation for us, so we went :) We ate at Margaritaville after checking into our hotel and then went to the show. Since the boys didn't want to go with us, they went out and saw the town. We didn't see them until much later in the night. The next day, we went to the Nashville Zoo. It was awesome! I loved seeing another zoo besides the Louisville Zoo and their exhibits were really interesting. What a great start to our two week break!

Ellie was ready to go!

The girls' first taxi ride

Waiting for the show... see that light saber thing? That is why Amie didn't see over half the show... Ellie sat on her lap and just had that thing going the whole time. Good thing Amie loves her so much.

Loving the Frozen on Ice!

The next day, just hanging out at the hotel after breakfast.

Nashville Zoo with the beautiful flamingoes!

This train ride. It took you around a microscopic circle. The girls loved it though.

Someone had a great time!

the big apple!

I was blessed enough to take a trip to New York City with my fabulous mother and sister-in-law. We had a blast! It was so cool to visit someplace that I have want to visit my entire life. We went in on a Friday and left on a Monday and we jam packed so much into that trip! Friday, we went to see the Lion King (my Broadway choice) and it was fantastic! Saturday, we took a tour bus around the city and saw so many things; Strawberry Fields, Central Park, the Empire State Building, a cruise around the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street and the 9/11 memorial grounds. It was fascinating. Of course, I LOVED the shopping as well! We shopped each day for at least a little bit :) Sunday, we went to see Wicked (Amy's pick) and it was magnificent. I think I liked it the most. What a fantastic trip with two of my favorite people in the world!

In the taxi on the way to our hotel!

I missed my girls, but they had a great time back at home :)

disney world 2014!

Spring Break is finally here and that means that our trip to Disney World has arrived! We were so excited to share in our love of Disney with Mamaw and Papaw. We flew out of Louisville early, early, early, and had a layover in Atlanta. We finally got to Disney around 11 A.M. and got checked into Pop Century and then headed straight over to the Magic Kingdom. We had a magical time for all five days and cannot wait to go back!
