Happy Friday

Happy Friday everyone! It's been a long week- always seems that way after a vacation, but Josie got right back on schedule so no complaints here.

I forgot to add this to our vacation post..... Just because a "baby" doesn't have a lot of hair, has on blue pants (with pink snaps), a grey hoodie (with a coral liner) and pink and purple shoes, does NOT mean its a boy! Get it together people- I'm so tired of everyone calling Josie a boy, because I don't put big bows and headbands in her hair. Ugh, the nerve.

I move on...Josie is allllllllllll about my purse and has been for sometime. She likes to go through all my lip glosses, Vaseline, lipstick, and my glasses. She likes to carry it around, and since I've taken it away, she grabbed the next best thing.

She will put special things in her "purse", toss it on her arm and tell us "bye, bye"! hahahha its the cutest thing. Right now she is carting around a can of beans, a rock, and a little tv from her house. When I leave in the morning she always grabs my purse and bag for me and tells me "bye bye". I think we are going to have to get a purse for her, in the near future. 

Nick has been going to physical therapy for his knee for a couple of weeks. Josie likes to do stretches with him. 

last Friday after her nap- the only nice

day we've had

finally got her to take a bite of Watergate cake!

loved it of course. 

Tomorrow grandma and grandpa are coming to take us out for my birthday, so we are looking forward to that! I think we are going to take Josie to an indoor play place around the corner tomorrow morning as well. Hopefully she doesn't stand in the corner again, we'll see. Other then that, we don't have any other big plans for the weekend. We have a ton of cleaning to do and catch up on our recorded shows. Sounds like a great weekend to me!

Florida Fun

We're baaaaaaack! I have to say we are missing the sunshine and warmer weather. Even though the first two days were cold and rainy, it was so nice to get away and take Josie someplace new. 

She was such a good girl for me on both flights. She slept on the way to Atlanta and we literally had to run to our gate to catch our connection. The second flight was not so hot. I ended up in the last row...the last seat...next to the shitter...with no window...and the pilot kept having to circle the airport in FL because the wind was up and he was having a hard time landing. Thankfully Josie didn't seem to mind, but the old lady sitting across from me literally grabbed the barf bag, I thought I was going to have to do the same. 

I have lots of pictures. deal with it. 

we hung out in the toy store because it 

was monsooning. she picked out a new car

We headed down to the beach even though it was cold and overcast. Josie needed to get acclimated to her new surroundings. 

It's a daaaaaawg! 

                                               

Tuesday, the sun came out so we headed back down! I'm sure everything looked so different to her and it was quite the experience.

Here's where the meltdown begins...

On Tuesday, Aunt Jesse and Great Uncle Richard came to visit and we had such a good time. We went to dinner that night and had a wonderful meal and enjoyed telling old stories.

this is what you have to wear when you get burnt on the first day

and the sun was out for .5 seconds. Irish girl problems

Heading back out for our last day... I love these pictures of Nick and Josie walking to the beach.

one of my favorites of all time

Don't judge my arm. I wore a rash guard the rest of the day

                                           

finally started playing with some sand, thanks to

Aunt Jesse

heading home- pre dump

The flight home was a little more hectic. Josie didn't sleep at all and the flights were completely packed. Unfortunately we got stuck next to some fat ass on the way to Columbus and he was taking up all our space. So what did Josie do to get back at him? She shit her pants. I could smell it immediately, but there was no way I was getting up from our window seat, past two large men, and stuffing ourselves into the bathroom to change a diaper. She freaks out in elevators, so I knew we were going to have to wait this one out. Thankfully the flight was only an hour.

Maybe next year she wont mind the sand. Nick and I are hoping to take a family trip every year, because it's important to have this special family time especially when the kids are young. Nick and I hadn't been on a vacation by ourselves for a few years, so we were overdue and it was so nice to have our new little travel partner along for the ride.

Here's to next year!
