Grandma and Papa Visit Florida

We just got to spend two amazing weeks with my parents! We are so glad that they are able to come out and spend time with us. We did a lot of fun things while they were here, we went to the beach, ate at fabulous restaurants, went on a fun boat ride, and just enjoyed spending time together. Madeline was in heaven and just loved all the attention she was getting from her grandparents. She loves them so much and I just love watching her interact with them. 

Fun at Siesta Key beach!

Sevy Family Vacation 2014

We just got back from the most amazing week! We got to go to Disney World with Alan's family. We all stayed together in a huge house in Orlando for the week. Luckily Alan was able to take some time off a school to be able to spend the week with his family. We had the best time! We had an extremely large group and sometimes people would look at us like we were crazy for all trying to get on the same ride. It was a blast. Everyone was so helpful with Madeline so Alan and I could go on some rides together. Grandpa Sevy spent numerous hours trying to get Madeline to sleep and then having to hold her for hours to not disturb her! Madeline absolutely loved her cousins! She was in heaven being surrounded by so many kids who adored her. Her older cousins where a big help and wanted to hold her or help push her stroller through the park. She also loved being passed around by her aunts and uncles. We had so much fun and are so glad that we got to be apart of such a special trip! It was so amazing to spend such good quality time together.

Madi and Parker

I don't think she was a fan of this ride....

Hooray Disney Jr. Show

I was picked from the audience to participate in the Indiana Jones show at Hollywood Studios

A sweet little girl gave Madi her balloon cause they didn't have anywhere to put it while they went on rides. 

She is obsessed with dogs, especially if they aren't real.

Hanging with Uncle Chris so Mom and Dad could go on Star Tours

Who needs Disney World when you can play with stairs?

Weekend Trip to St. George

Last weekend we took a little trip down to St. George with the Cash Family. It was one of our last family trips before we move down to Florida. The weather was so warm and beautiful. We had so much fun on this trip. Alan and I were really worried about how Madeline was going to do in the car ride down there, but as always she shocked us and did fantastic. She was so excited to be in the car and be able to see me and Alan in the back seat that she only slept for like 30 mins! It was amazing! We had such a fun time enjoying delicious food, swimming, golfing, hiking, warm weather, and most importantly good company! 

Here are so pictures from our trip:

 Madeline in the car on the way down, just taking a little snooze...

 Finally made it! She sat on the couch while we unpacked!

The Sunshine State

When we found out that Alan got into Dental School in Florida we thought it would be the perfect opportunity for us to use our companion tickets and go check out our new home. I was terrified to fly with Madeline for several reasons: 1. She was only 2 months old was she going to do ok or was she going to scream the whole time? 2. Flu season is still in full swing. She did awesome! She loved the airplane and pretty much just slept the whole time and no one got sick! It was so nice to go visit somewhere warm (in the 80's) while it was freezing here! We did a lot of apartment searching and exploring the area but we also tried to do some fun things as well. 

Here are some pictures:

 Madeline did great on her first plane ride!

 We had a great play date at Siesta Key beach!

 We went and visited the Aquarium, Madeline loved it at first then fell asleep!

 We ate a great place we found on Food Networks Diners, Drive ins, and Dives 

 Took a nice stroll in Sarasota

When your baby is too little to wear sunscreen you have to improvise!

We had a fantastic first family vacation with the three of us! Madeline was so good! We were able to take her everywhere and she really enjoyed it! We had so much fun seeing where we are going to be spending the next three years!
