Lyla's 1st Easter Egg Hunt

This past weekend I went to Palm Coast for a Girls Weekend with my Stroller Strength group. We had a wonderful time. We worked out, stretched on the beach, laid out by the pool, rode bikes had a delicious dinner and then went dancing. Fun fun!

Tommy and Lyla had Daddy Daughter time while I was away. Saturday morning they went to a Easter Egg Hunt on base. Tommy said Lyla ran out and picked up six easter eggs. They also rode a train and Lyla had her picture taken with the Easter bunny. I was so surprised that she sat on the Easter bunny's lap and didn't cry at all. Thank you Tommy for giving this mommy some time away to have fun with her girls and for taking Lyla to her first Easter Egg hunt.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Here is Lyla sporting her shirt that says "Kiss Me For Good Luck." Lyla will say "Cheese" when I take her picture but this is the face I get when she says cheese. It's funny, but doesn't make for the cutest pictures. Here's one without the scrunched up "Cheese" face.

Colorado Trip

Back in March, Tommy and I left Lyla with my parents in NC to go to Breckenridge, Colorado. Lyla had a blast with my parents, so we were able to have fun and relax on our trip. Breckenridge is an absolutely beautiful town and I hope to go back many more times in my life. We devoted this trip to skiing, but I would love to go back one day in the summer to hike, bike, and more. The ski slopes are covered in powder, not ice like in NC where I usually ski. They are long and lined with tall beautiful trees. The village that we walked to from our room was so quaint with many shops and restaurants. We also found this little shack of a place that made crepes which we enjoyed for lunch one day. We stayed for three nights and actually tried to extend our trip by another night or two because we were having so much fun, but of course the airlines wanted way too much money for that. Tommy and I are always more into enjoying ourselves than taking pictures, but here are some to show you how absolutely gorgeous this place is.
