Accomplishment

After 27 long months we are proud and excited to say Charles has graduated with his MBA from the University of Florida! We are so incredibly proud of him. We have not had the easiest 27 months with 3 moves, Addy's illness, 2 new jobs, buying a house and having a beautiful new baby BUT Charles managed to stay focused and push through with his MBA! WAY TO GO CHARLES! CHarles graduated on Ansley's 1st birthday, APril 15th. Since Ansley got the shaft on her actual birthday we had a big family bash the following weekend. We did a "Sweet as Pie" theme which turned out SUPER CUTE! I made her Sweetie Pie dress (very proud!). We had a cake shaped like a pie, mini strawberry and coconut custard pies and pizza pie! Mimi brought her a blow up pool full of balls which was a big hit! Rule of Life number 123....if we need rain or a sick child just throw a birthday party. You are sure to get one or both! It rained on Addy's birthday and Ansley's birthday. Both got sick for both parties too! Ansley has a double ear infection now. YUCK! For those of you who don't know Charlotte & I started an Etsy business embroidering. Our shop is Cotton Candy Cottage on etsy.com. It is keeping us very busy! Hope all is well! We are off to TN tomorrow for a nice vacation with the Great Grandparents and cousins!!! YAY!

What a Happy Easter!

A Fairy Good time!

We had a spectacular March. We went to Disney, MOSH (museum of science & hirstory), the zoo, a few beach trips, we had lots of visitors and had a fabulous Fairy Birthday Party.

It is hard to believe Addison is already 3 years old! How time flies. She started her big day with a trip to the nail salon with Titi & Mimi to get her nails done which included flowers on a few of them! Then she came home and ate cake, cupcakes, candy and maybe a chicken nugget or PBJ or two! She had 20 friends come over to help her celebrate her birthday. The kids got to dress up as fairies, wings and all. Then after bouncing they "made their own mud" which consisted of a clay pot filled with chocolate pudding "mud", sprinkled rocks on top (oreos) and finished off with worms! The kids took the pots home along with seeds and "Fairy dust" (soil) to plant their own gardens! The weather was not exactly what we hoped for but even with the rain it was a great day. Enjoy the pics!

In the land of fairies where pixies fly and roam, sits a little fairy friend who calls this garden home. Her birthday was here and she's thankful to say that you all shared in the magic of her very special day!!!
