Fort Walton Beach/Destin

We have returned from a very enjoyable trip at the beach. This is the first trip to the beach for us since we went to Gulf Shores in 2000! So this trip was long overdue!! When we got to Fort Walton on Thursday we went to the beach just to walk a little and to see how Cailey would react. She was in awe of it all, but she would not let us put her down! Friday morning we went to the Gulfarium. Loved the dolphins. Cailey didn't really get into the shows because it made her have to sit still and watch something. Didn't work out. The Dolphin in the picture stopped at the window to check us out. It really freaked Cailey out and she started crying. I think she really liked looking at the sharks swimming with her daddy. She also liked riding the little play horse. Who needs 50 cents when you have a daddy to push it around in circles!!

After the Aquarium, lunch, a trip to Target to buy Cailey some water shoes in hopes of her walking on the beach, and a nap we were off to play on the beach. Cailey loved the water! She even loved the taste of it. She would lick her lips and say "Yummy, taste!". She even tried to make Richard taste it! And last but not least, she finally played in the sand and even let Richard bury her legs.

We tried to get some nice shots of on the beach Friday evening when the sun was setting in her white sundress. Unfortunately timing was not on our side. We had to wake her up from her nap and it was soooo windy and cool. She was not a happy girl!!! So I was a little dissapointed that we didn't get any good shots. Oh well, maybe next year. We went to Joe's Crab shack for dinner. It was soooo good! Definitely recommend it!
Saturday we headed back to Anniston and stopped at the Florala state Park and had a picnic lunch. It's a really nice park. We also stopped at Clanton at the Peach Park for some ice cream. It was a nice trip and already looking forward to next year!

New Blog Created!!

I have created a new blog to showcase my scrapbook pages. I am finally back in the swing of things and creating some new pages. The url is www.jessicasscrapbookpages.blogspot.com.

Easter Sunday outfit

Here's little miss princess ready for Church Easter morning. I have a cute story about that morning. Or atleast I think it is. Cailey & I sleep late as we go to bed late, but I knew we would have to go to the 8:30 service instead of the usual 11:00 so we can get back home so she can take a nap. That way we'd be ready to go as soon as Richard got home from the 11 service. I was afraid how she would handle getting up so early instead of sleeping till 10! Well, she woke up at 7am all by herself and sat up in bed, pointed to the bathroom and said "hair, church". She knew!!
There are a ton of Easter pictures below!

Cailey and her Easter Basket

Sunday after church Cailey finally got her easter basket. She is officially a chocoholic!!! She immediately tore the aluminum foil wrappers off of the bunnies and went to town! I will be so glad when it's all gone!!


Offering Daddy some chocolate
She just saw me with her basket
Brushing her new dolls hair. It has snap on clothes that she can change herself. She loves it!


She is saying "Ssshhhhh" to me & Richard cause we were being too loud trying to make her smile.

Easter at Grandma's

Here we are at my Grandmother's in Whortons Bend. Cailey & Carson had a great time hunting eggs. Here's Cailey's doing one of her many famous "Oh no, Oh no, eggs" as she dumps all of her eggs out! I believe we spent more time picking up eggs that she dumped out!

Easter- Hunting Eggs at The White's

We started our Easter celebration Saturday evening. With Church the next morning, plus an hour ride to Gadsden there was no way we could do everything on Sunday.
We went to Richard's family's house and had dinner and Cailey hunted eggs. We were so excited to see how she would do. At first she wasn't sure what we were doing, but once she realized it she had a blast!!! She would skip and run to each egg. After each one she'd find, she would throw it in her basket and say "Morse". Which is sometimes her word for more.


Cailey & her Uncle Allen

Here she is in one of her dresses that her Nonna gave her and the bunny purse that she got from Aunt Jane.




Cailey picked up the chair to move it so she could get the egg!
"Big Hugs" for Granny!!!

Cailey the Bunny

Hippity-Hoppity Easter's on it's Way!!! Here's Cailey ready for Easter! She even put on her pink mittens that actually look really cute with her bunny ears on. Now if only she had a white puffy tail to go along with it! She was a little distracted while I was taking the pictures as she was watching one of her favorite shows...Family Guy! She calls the show "Giggidy" and if you've ever seen it then you know why! =)

4-3-06 Playing Outside

Here are some cute pictures of Cailey playing outside.

Naptime

Naptime for Cailey on Mommy's & Daddy's Bed surrounded by pillows. Here lately she has begun wanting to go to sleep with a few stuffed animals. This nap included a baby doll that my mom made a long, long time ago and a bunny. Sweet Dreams.

Bucket of Fun & More!

On one of my many attempts to pick up her toys and put them back where they "belong", Cailey had to get in the bucket and have everything piled on top of her!







HHmmm... which fit was she about to pitch this time??















I really liked how this picture turned out. I love seeing her shoulders and back with her curls. As cailey would say, "Awww....CUTE!".
