Kenny Chesney 09

Devon and I have been friends for 5 years, and in those 5 years we have been to 5 Kenny Chesney concerts...2 in Atlanta, 2 in Tampa, and 1 in Jacksonville. Words cannot describe the level of excitement leading up to the show. We spend weeks talking about our action plan with tailgating, months planning our outfits, and a year thinking about the next year's concert.

I could go on and on telling you all about Kenny, the best and worst of the concerts, and endless pictures...but I won't. Here are a few of the pictures to document our fifth appearance at a Kenny concert.

Gabriella is 18 months...well almost

Boca Baby!

The Parker's had such nice time visiting with our friends in Boca. Mia and Nick were so sweet and Gabriella enjoyed playing with them every second of the day!

Splash Park!

Today Gabriella and I went to a splash park, and had so much fun! Gabriella kept running in and out of the puddles and sprays of water. It was a great way to cool off from the heat of the afternoon!

Atlanta July 2009

Gabriella, Jim, and I have been in Atlanta this week visiting my parents. Unfortunately, Gabriella has not adjusted too well to the week away from Orlando and she has been very clingy and whiny. The only time she is happy is when we are outside in her little swimming pool, swinging in the tire swing that her Poppy built for her, or sitting in Poppy's truck...

Spaghetti!!!!

Playing Peek A Boo

Condiments!

I love condiments! From ketchup and chili sauce to ranch dressing and olive oil...if it's dippable I'm lovin' it! Gabriella has mastered the dipping technique. She makes me so proud!

Ohio Spring 2009

We just arrive home from our annual Spring trip to Ohio. The weather was beautiful and the time with the family was great. Gabriella had so much fun playing with her cousin Nick, going to the Ice Cream Capitol of Ohio, seeing the animals at the Columbus Zoo, watching her cousin Hallie play softball, and feeding the fish in Grandpa's pond.

Gabriella has always been vocal, but she has recently started pointing her finger and yelling when things do not go her way or when she wants someone to listen to her...

The Hackett's Came to Play

Gabriella and I were so lucky to have Rachel and Elijah come to visit us! As most of you know, Elijah and Gabriella are exactly two weeks apart (he was born on February 11 and Gabriella on February 25), and were a perfect match from the beginning. Both of them had such a fun time playing together. Gabriella kept trying to put Elijah's pacifier in his mouth...Elijah kept stealing Gabriella's sippy cup...and when one would get upset the other would offer comfort. They both are really happy and sweet toddlers and I truly enjoyed having the company. I hope through my not feeling well and lack of sleep that Rachel had an enjoyable visit...the cakes from the Dessert Lady hopefully made up for it!

I will post pictures soon, but I couldn't resist getting these videos of Elijah and Finn posted quickly. If there ever was a boy who deserved a dog...
