Florida for 3 Weeks!!!










The kids and I recently went to Florida for 3 weeks. It was a combination of Curtis working out of town, me working in my dad's restaurant, and me not wanting to try the "working-single parent" thing by myself. It was a bittersweet trip; we missed Curtis, but we loved being with my family. My parents were in heaven with the two kids. I don't think I saw Landon until bedtime every day. It was awesome that my dad was able to take him everywhere with him, and if he couldn't then my brother would. They got a taste of the terrible twos....(1) My dad's dogs were continually "abused" by Landon (2) My dad received a fast pitched golf ball to the forehead (yes, it drew blood) (3) Landon "escaped" quite a few times under their watchful eyes(4) Bailey (my mom's dog) was urinated on by Landon (5) My dad left Landon in his truck only to return to a pig pen (food and drink literally everywhere) (6) Gerry (a family friend) could never catch a break from Landon's fists. I've have a theory: My child's body was taken over by aliens at the age two. I'm hoping and praying they return my dear, sweet, precious Landon soon....REALLY SOON! Even though he is very busy and active, Papa and Uncle "Duh-Don" had a blast with him and I know the feeling was mutual. I had the opportunity to work at my dad's restaurant and I have to say it was awesome. It was definitely a new experience for me, but I caught on quickly and the other servers were very kind to me. It was fun to work with my mom and sister. It really felt like I was home again....for a while. Addison grew so much while we were in Florida. She really is getting some "chub" on her thighs!!! She makes my heart melt. One night she woke up to eat and all she wanted to do was "talk" to me. She smiles all the time now and I love it! She is a very sweet baby and she is definitely spoiled. Addison is a "mama's girl" hands down, but I am soaking every minute of it!!!
I just want to say thank you to my family. Each one of them helped me so much while I was there whether it be with my kids or work. I love each of you so much!!!!!
