spring break :: 2010 {post one}

It’s very rare I get a photo of myself with my girls … and I’m rather lovin’ this one!

Recognize these t-shirts?  Hee-hee … :)

So we’re on spring break.  The little girls get 2 weeks {as they do every year}, but miss Tay only gets 1 … and it’s the week after the little girls.  I’d planned to pull Taylor out of school for the first two weeks, but in the end, she decided it was best not to miss school at the risk of falling behind {as was the situation with our January trip}.  While I’m so sad not to have her with us … I’m so proud of her for making this hard decision.

Will she miss vacationing on her spring break?  Not to worry!  She’ll be joining us in a week or so and then I’m having the little girls miss school for the week of Taylor’s break.  See?  It all works out!  ‘Specially for mama, who loves her vacations! ;)

Here are a few photos of our vacay so far …

Some pool lounging …

Lovin’ the girls new flip-flops!  Although the baby has a harder time in flips because of her curly toes {surgery on them in about a month}.

The giant aquarium is a perfect meandering spot for my girls.  I have to giggle when they’re naming off all the fish and sea life, while passerby’s next to us look at them incredulously!  Pretty cute!

This can pretty much be summed up as “the sugar dance.”

Seriously … when did these girls get so big?!?

And the last bit of fun to share with you today … rock climbing!!

These two girls now go by the name of Spiderwomen!

Today is Piper’s eighth birthday! And we’ve got lots of fun treats planned for her … can’t wait to share!

Wishing you all a super blessed day!

    I love when you post vacation pictures! Looks like y’all are having a BLAST and I’m so happy for you. Hate that Taylor isn’t with you for the first part of vacay but that will make her arrival even more sweet. Kudos to her for making the big/hard decision to stay in school while you’re gone.

    So excited to see how the birthday celebration goes. Knowing your attention to detail I have a feeling it’s gonna be AMAZING!

    Absolutely adore their new flip flops (where did you find them?) and Haiti shirts. Loving the picture of you with the girls. You all look so tan + happy. Exactly what fun in the sun is supposed to look like!

    I want to show appreciation to this writer for bailing me out of this matter. Because of surfing around through the the web and getting ideas which are not pleasant, I thought my life was over. Living without the presence of solutions to the problems you’ve solved as a result of this guide is a critical case, and the ones which may have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I hadn’t encountered your blog. Your primary mastery and kindness in playing with every item was helpful. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come upon such a solution like this. It’s possible to at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for the impressive and result oriented guide. I won’t be reluctant to suggest your web sites to any person who would like counselling about this subject.
