I think it's time for a new post.......

I haven't posted in a while, so I think it's time.

Not much has been going on any different than normal.

However, my mom always told me...

"Normal is just a cycle on the washing machine."

Which, by the way is so true! Things wouldn't be near as fun if they were always NORMAL!

Macy had her LAST cheerleading competition last Sunday here

in Jacksonville at the Prime Osborne Convention Center, which by the way the Mini 1 TNT brought home
1st place and GRAND CHAMPIONS!!

It brings joy to me that we won't be so busy with cheerleading, but then again it brings sadness to my heart that competitions are over until January of 2012.

This coming up week is the RCA Banquet, which we are looking forward to. (It gives me a reason to go shopping for new clothes!)

Jesse has to wear a tie! hehe! I can't wait....he's going to look so handsome. I love it when he actually takes the time to look nice.

This week starts a bunch of activities for EASTER that I LoVe!

If only my Easter eggs would turn out this pretty!

Coloring eggs is my favorite part of Easter. I love trying to make the prettiest color egg. I'm curious to see how Jake is going to react while coloring eggs.

He doesn't like to have dirt or water on his hands. I have a feeling that it's going to be a BIG ordeal when he stains his little fingers pink and green!

I know that the Easter Bunny is not the reason for Easter, and I make sure that my kids understand the true reason for Easter and understand the sacrifices that Jesus took for us.

I think I will sit down with Macy this year and educate her with a story of the reason behind Easter.

I think it's time.....

However, the Easter Bunny must still come to the Rohn household, which means that I better get with it and make sure that he has all of the goodies for the baskets.

So it's time for this Mama to get to shopping.....

Peeps, Jelly Beans, Chocolate bunnies, Spring edition sweettarts...yummy!!

Happy Spring!

Burnt to a crisp!

Today was a Marvelous Sunday Funday!
We slept in this morning, followed by playing outside with Jake while I tried to catch a few rays, which I didn't....

UNTIL....

We then rode out to Hugenot Park (aka The Jetties) where Grandma & Papa Rohn have been camping all weekend on the river/beach, where there I got

Burnt to a Crisp!

Just the front half of me anyways. I never seemed to realize that just the front of me was getting sun, until it was too late.

Danielle and Daniel, and Tracey and Ryan rode out to hang out with us as well.

We had such a great time!!

The kids enjoyed playing in the freezing water, feeding the birds, shell hunting, and playing in the sand.

Macy enjoyed picking up all of the hundreds of jellyfish that washed up to shore with the shovel and toss them back into the water. I'm not quite sure if she knew that by throwing them in the water was not going to bring them back to life. But it made her happy to think that it might.

After leaving the beach we stopped at one of my favorite restaurants,

the Sandollar

and had an early dinner setting out on the deck listening to a live band.

Now it's time to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet cause both kids are sound asleep

from all of the fun and excitement from today!

Ready for the weekend.......

I am so excited that the weekend is FINALLY here!!

Woo-Hoo!!

We are having a DATE Night tonight, however with several of

our friends celebrating Danielle and Amanda's birthdays.

We are going to my FAVORITE restaurant,

Olive Garden.....Yippee!!

I have been so busy lately, it seems like I have had some sort of plans every weekend since December!! Ugh!

I am wore slap out!

I plan on staying at home most of the weekend due to not being able to spend very much time at our new home during the weekend.

Although.....

I am thinking about taking the kids to the beach tomorrow as long as this Florida weather cooperates, which means NO rain!

We just got back from our family

DISNEY VACATION

Wednesday evening for 5 days, that was fun, but exhausting!

My wonderful parents were kind enough to use a week of their time share to get a condo for our family to use, which was FREE to us!

We were able to spend a lot of time bonding with each other, which was nice.

The kids had a blast at all of the Disney Parks. We were able to make it to ALL 4 parks this trip. Here is how our agenda went:

Saturday: Travel day and spent time at the condo at the pool

Sunday: Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios

Monday: Epcot

Tuesday: Magic Kingdom

Wednesday: Epcot

I'm already wanting to plan our next trip down!

I'm thinking about taking Macy for a day to have a Mommy/Daughter day to one of the

Water parks next month.

Macy has another cheer competition coming up next weekend, which will be her

LAST

competition until 2012!

We are excited to have her move up to Level 2 Mini Cheer next season.

One More thing that isn't too exciting though,

I now wear Glasses!! Eeek!

Happy Weekend!!

Disney World.....Here WE come!!

I am so excited to say that we are taking ANOTHER family vaction to

Disney World

this coming up weekend for 4 nights. My wonderful parents are using a week of their time share for my little family, my sister and her son, and my parents as well to go spend time as a family at The Happpiest Place on Earth! I am ecstatic about it!

We spend a lot of time giving the the 5 ft Mouse all of our money, but it's Totally

worth every minute of it!!

Back in October we bought yearly passes and we have already taken 2 trips, this being our 3rd of the year.

Jake is so happy that he gets to see Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Pluto. I'm glad that he has finally reached the age to really enjoy going to the Magic Kingdom, which happens to be my favorite park.

I am thrilled about spending time with my family and making memories with them

that will last a lifetime!

Watch your tail Mickey, here we Come!!!

Happy 7th Birthday to Macy

I know I'm a little late on posting, but Feb 29th was Macy's 7th birthday. Technically she is not even 2 years old yet due to her birthday being on Leap Day, so we celebrated her special day on March 1. She had her 1st sleepover, which was so much fun for her and her girl friends, but a tedious task on me. They had such a good time, they did the traditional sleepover traditions of painting fingernails and toenails, they played dress up, listed to music and danced, as well as played Just Dance 2 on the Wii.

 This is a photo of my new dining room decorated for the Party

Overall, the sleepover was a

SUCCESS

and I'm sure that we will be doing it again for many more birthdays to come!

Fabulous 50's Cheer & Dance Championship

This past weekend Macy and I went to Lakeland for another competition, the Fabulous 50's Cheer & Dance Championship. We had such a great time! We went with my best friend, her daughter, her mom, and sister in law, so we had a girls weekend. 

We did a little bit of shopping on the trip too Saturday night. Macy was able to experience MACY'S for the first time, which she was so excited about.

Sunday was the competition, which we won 3rd place.

We have FINALLY moved into our new place!

This has been an exciting week thus far. Sunday night we spent our 1st night in our new place! I still have yet a lot of organizing and decorating to do. I think going shopping for the perfect picture or wall art, even picking out a new garbage can, stocking my pantry, washing clothes in my new laundry room, or even laying in freshly painted bedroom have been some of my favorites. Since we have moved to 2100 sq feet from 1400 we have quite a bit more space to fill. Trust me, if that means I have a reason to go shopping to find more decor, I will!

Jesse has been working on his "Man cave" to get ready to have some guys come over to goof off, which guys do best!

Macy is so excited to have a new PURPLE bedroom, however we haven't gotten Jake's new mattresses for his "big boy" bed, so he has been sleeping with Mommy and Daddy, which he has done since he was brought home from the hospital....I know....it's rediculous!

We have a lot of more to do prior to posting any photos of our new place. 

I promise photos will come soon!

HAPPY HUMP DAY
