Happy HUMP Day!

We have had a lot going on lately...
Macy has kept me SO busy with her Cheerleading activities.
We are also in the process of trying to complete all of the "fix-its" in our new place. We are hoping to MOVE into our NeW PLaCe this coming up weekend. My poor husband has been so busy with painting and fixing small things throughout the house. I am so anxious to move!! We have waited so LONG for this. I am thrilled to move away, but stay only a street over from where I have grown up at and lived my entire life. I wouldn't know what to do if I had to move away from my family. I honestly can say, that I think I would go absolutely crazy if I had to move far away. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family that lives so close.
I will post new photos soon of our house once we move...Yay!!!

ChEEr, cHeEr, and more ChEeR!!

Here are a few photos of my cute little cheerleader. We have a VERY busy season this year. We have competition after competition! Macy has 5 more competitions between  now and April 10th, after the 2 that she has had thus far. I LOVE it though! This weekend we are going to Tampa for State Fair competition. I am really looking forward to another girls weekend. Here are a few photos from her State competition in Daytona last month.....
 Don't you just LOVE her facial expressions?!

Random post for Wednesday.....

Today the weather is so nasty! It's Rainy and Ugly out! Although after watching my favorite morning show, LIVE with Regis and Kelly, which they had a live cam in Chicago, I feel absolutely horrible for the people that live near Chicago and the surrounding areas, and grateful that I live in Florida.
 (above) Such a pretty photo of snow....Not quite what the Northeast is having now.
There is SO much SNOW up there, and it's still coming down. I love to see snow, but I am so grateful that I don't live in a place where I have to deal with it every winter. 
However, here in Jacksonville, we have nasty rain showers today. I would much rather be at home curled up in bed watching a movie or Playhouse Disney with my sick little boy.
 
I love the sound of rain and I know that we need a little bit, but come on nature, you can quit anytime!
I am ready for Summer! I am looking forward to going to the beach, going camping, going fishing, summer vacations, laying by the pool with my family......my list could go on forever!! 
Doesn't this photo look warm and relaxing? I think so......
Happy Hump Day!!

State Cheer & Dance Championship

I know I'm a little late in posting.....sorry! Over MLK holiday weekend was Macy's 1st cheerleading competition in Daytona Beach. Going to competition brought back so many fond memories of when I was a cheerleader myself. We had such a wonderful time! We had ourselves a "girls weekend." We spent the weekend with my lifetime best friend, Amanda, her daughter, mother, sister in law, and nephew. Macy and I had great Mother-Daughter time. We went down on Friday evening and came home Sunday.
We had to get up at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday to get ready for our day. Macy was exhausted, and so was her Mama! Being this was her 1st competion, I wasn't concerned with her winning 1st place, I was more concerned with her having a good time, which she did.
This is my Little ROCKET. We stayed at the Wyndam Resort right on the beach, which was so nice. I would love to go back over the summer. Macy loved going out on the balcony, even though it was so cold outside.
This is Macy with her awesome Coach, Lindsay. We just LOVE her! She works so hard for these little girls. She loves them and has a passion for cheerleading.
During each and every performance by RCA, our fans held these signs saying ROCKETS! It was so much fun watching each performance and cheering them on.
Macy and Haley, friends just like their Mama's!
We had such a great weekend together. I look forward to many more this cheerleading season!! Let's Go ROCKETS!!!!

Islands of Adventure

This past weekend, we went to Orlando. We LOVED staying at the Nickelodeon Hotel. The pools and slides are awesome! We look forward to going back over the summer to enjoy the waterpark area.
This was the view from our room. Macy wanted to play in the pool area so bad, but it was too cold for that! I promised her we would take her back when it's warmer outside.
We spent the day Saturday at Universal's Islands of Adventure. This was our first trip with the kids. Macy really enjoyed the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Seuss Landing. Jake wasn't quite sure what to think of the rides.

 
 Macy was glad to see Hogsmeade! She loves Harry Potter!! And she even got her Butter Beer!! 
 "Come on Elephant! We can do this!"

The kids and I on the Seuss-o-sel. Jake was being covered by the elephant ear!

A random post for Hump Day.....

 Just thought I would take the time to do a little blog....Today is an Happy day! Work is going great and the work day is 1/2 way finished, I feel caught up on my rest and refreshed from a wonderful nights' sleep last night, my hubby and kids are having a good week as well, and best of all....we are going to Orlando this weekend!! YAY!!! I am so excited! We are going to Universal Islands of Adventure Saturday and then to Disney's Hollywood Studios on Sunday. I'm excited about staying a different hotel this time. We decided to stay at the Nickelodeon Hotel rather than a Disney hotel like we usually do. I'm curious to see if it will measure up to Disney resorts??? 
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday
Happy Hump Day!

Happy Birthday Jesse!

Yesterday, 01.03.10 was Jesse's 27th Birthday. We started celebrating his big day by going out to eat at Kabuki (Japanese restaurant) in Fernandina Beach, followed by going Line Dancing Saturday night. Yesterday, we went to lunch at Longhorn's with his family, followed by later in evening we went and had bar-b-que for dinner.
I handmade a card for him and wrote on the bathroom mirror with dry erase markers. He thought I was silly for doing that, but it just shows my love for him...hehe! 
Here are a few photos.....
Here (above) is the cake that I made him.....
This is the bathroom mirror.....
