Hutchinson Island, Florida

We spent the past week in Hutchinson Island, Florida. It was a wonderful, relaxing vacation with nothing to do besides lay by the pool, swim in the ocean, and enjoy each other's company. Some of the favorite activities besides the pool and the beach were eating dinner at Beni Hana's, ice cream at Coldstone, seeing a movie in the theater, walking around CityPlace in West Palm Beach, and lunch at Taco Bell :) Tommy keeps asking if we can go back on "cation."
Jumping in the pool.

Ready to swim in the ocean! Before we left he had been worried for a few weeks that there would be sharks and alligators in the ocean. When we first got to the beach he started laughing and when asked what was so funny he said, "Silly Tommy, there's no sharks or alligators!"

Digging in the sand.

One of the main things Tommy wanted to do on his "cation" was eat at Taco Bell. We went for lunch one afternoon and I think he only ate about two bites. Whatever he expected Taco Bell to be must have been different from what it actually was :)

Swimming in the pool!

Lunch by the pool.

Playing catch with Daddy.

One of the main highlights of the week was taking Tommy to see his first movie in the theater- "Night in the Museum." He loved it (and the popcorn!)

Exploring and looking for "shelfs" (shells)

Silence Isn't Always Golden...

After realizing too late that my house had been VERY quiet for about 10 minutes- I went upstairs to find this...
Lesson learned- ALWAYS put the band-aid box back on the shelf :)

Mother's Day Weekend

We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend celebrating our mothers! We celebrated with my family on Saturday night and Nathan's family on Sunday night. We are so blessed to have such loving families! Tommy and Nathan spoiled me today with lunch and presents- it was a great weekend!
Nathan and my dad have been working hard on some landscaping in the front yard. Tommy is a HUGE help and works just as hard as Daddy and Papa. They worked the last few weekends and finished up the rock wall on Saturday- now we are just waiting for dirt and grass seed!

Busy playing outside- he loves to ride his bike up and down the driveway.

Before church on Mother's Day morning.

Tommy was so excited to give me my present- two gorgeous planters with flowers for the front step. I love them!

Kisses from my baby boy!
