Siesta Key




We just got back from spending a couple of days at Siesta Key. I don't know which the kids enjoyed more-playing at the beach or having a hotel room right next to Gaga and Papa. Peyton even made a new friend right away who helped her build sand castles...they had a good time, even though her little friend only spoke Ukrainian :)

Our 4th of July Weekend


We had a great 4th of July weekend! It started off with the Temple Terrace parade Friday morning and Peyton rode the FCA float with Papa. Preston, Cooper and I found a shady spot to watch not too far away and thought we would rescue Peyton from the heat on her way down the parade route. When she finally rode by, we took her off the float only to have her crying, "I want back on-I want to be with Papa". So, Preston ran down the parade route and put her back on the float. Cooper had fun running around collecting lots of candy!

Later that afternoon my dad's entire family came over to eat and the kids had fun meeting their second cousins for the first time-Max and Ana, who are from Boston. We took the party to Gaga and Papa's house where the kids swam and Papa entertained us with fire works.

Saturday was Jer's big day...the most beautiful wedding I've ever seen! We had a great time and Peyton did a fantastic job as flower girl. There's not a shy bone in her body! She walked down the isle talking to people along the way and half way down she yelled, "Oh Mommy-there you are! There you are!" We were proud of Cooper, too, who did great with a babysitter, other than Gaga and Papa, for the first time.
