Date Night at Cheeca!

On June 4, 2011 Brian and I were married in the most beautiful place ever. 

Cheeca Lodge and Spa in Islamorada, Florida.

It is my happy place. 

And thank you to my amazing parents, we got a date night while on vacay a few weeks ago! They kept Ballerina in Key Largo while we spent a night at Cheeca!

We did take the Ballerina to lunch at Cheeca with us however.

She had lobster from my sandwich and loved it!! I mean, what are we getting ourselves into with a 1 year old lobster eater!!??

It was raining on our first day there. So sad, I really wanted some great pics of the family on the beach. 

But... we at least got a shot of us semi on the beach.

It may have been raining but that didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves! 

The next morning we took a walk on the beach where we had our reception. 

And then... the sun came out!! Yay!!

A little bit of grown up pool time before heading back to Key Largo to hug on our baby!!

Pool Time in Key Largo!

I think we have a future mermaid on our hands!

We were in Key Largo for 2 days and the girl had already turned into a fish!!

Playing with Daddy at the pool!

Look at those wings! She is the cutest!!

Daddy is a wonderful playmate!

Climbing on the "pirate ship" at the pool.

Who is having more fun here? Hmmm.

I just love watching my hubby & baby play. They are definitely two peas in a pod!

Gege's Beach!

For those of you that know me well, you know that my Gege was one of my most favorite people in the world. I adored her and I miss her more than anyone could ever possibly imagine. Gege's happy place was Key Largo. It just so happens that it is my personal happy place as well. 

The following pictures will probably mean nothing to anyone but me. They are my baby girl, stepping into the ocean for the very first time, at Gege's beach. It's not really a beach, nor did it belong to my Gege. It is a little piece of sand at the end of the road my Gege's house is on.  

I stood by, took pictures and watched as my Ballerina splashed away. She loved the ocean and I just know that Gege was enjoying my crazy kid from Heaven. This moment meant so very much to me!

I love you Gege!

Jet Set Baby!

It's Vacation Time!!

As many of you already know, there are very few direct flights from OKC. So, that meant either take a connection (which Ballerina does NOT do well on) or fly from DFW. We chose the latter. 

We spent the night in Ardmore with Pappy & Tutu the night before we left to make the drive to Dallas a bit shorter. And, Tutu was flying with us so it was a no brainer!

On an elevator at the airport with Daddy!

 Brian thought it was ridiculous, but we got to the airport with about 1.5 hours to spare. I was thankful for this time. Ballerina needed to stretch those legs before we hit the clouds!!

Playing with Daddy & Tutu at the airport!!

Tickle Monster!!

Ballerina was a traveling champ! She slept most of the flight and giggled most of the time she was awake. (She might have tried to pull the hair of someone else but.. eh... no biggie!) I am so proud of my little jet setter!!
