WISCONSIN in April!

In between all the showers Mike and I packed our bags and Lambeau and headed to WISCONSIN! 

So excited for a vacation away from Florida and our crazy busy lives. 

At about 27 weeks prego we drove 19 hours and cruised right into Mike's childhood home. 

He was overly excited because it was going to be his 26th birthday and our 5 year anniversary! He was also in the one place were he feels most comfortable! 

HOME! 

We had an awesome surprise!!! 

SNOW! It had truly been since the blizzard of 2008 that we have seen snow! 

 

 So as you can imagine! Our friends back in Florida called us tourist.. 

A few days later we were able to take a mini stop to the JELLY BELLY factory! We had a shopping day with Mike's parents and this was one of my favorite stops! So much candy and FUN! 

 April 3rd. Mike turned 26 years old and the only thing his little heart desired was a mini date to Green Bay! We met one of our favorite aunts LORI for lunch at Lambeau Field!

and well I could not let it be his birthday and not do what I wanted to do.. so we stopped at the chocolate store and the teacher store!!! Bless his heart for listening to be drool over teacher supplies and candy!

Later that night the whole family got together for pizza for Mike and his brother's birthday! :) Who does not love SNOW-COASTER PIZZAS and Cake!!

Let's face it a vacation to Wisconsin would totally not be complete without a cook out in the cold! So after a few days of hanging out we were able to grill out!

Nearing the end of our Wisconsin vacation we stopped into grandma's with Jerry's Doughnuts to say Good-Bye to our family and thank them for all they have provided us with during the vacation!

We geared up and hit the road for MICHIGAN!

CPS Shower #3 !

A group of amazing mommies from the school that I work at decided to have a joint shower. 

One of my really great friends was planning the wedding of her dreams and well I was having the little one of my dreams. Together we have been friends of about 2-3 years and have accomplished a ton. Our lives are changing and taking different directions and we are both blessed to have had the chance to share a shower together! 

Thank you to our little ones (in our classrooms) parents for providing us with a night of laughs, relaxation and smiles! 

Just wait until you see HER WEDDING!!!

Olive Garden Shower Dinner with Early Childhood Educators #2 !

Teaching truly is my passion and I have been blessed here in Florida with an awesome little support system of teachers that I have gained over the last few years of trainings and attending school.

I decided that a dinner would be a nice touch to get everyone together for the celebration of Mayana. 

I made goodie bags and purchased a cake. We all got geared up after a long day of working with little ones and headed to dinner at Olive Garden!

Surrounding yourself with others within your field can only bring out the best in you and I am truly blessed to have this awesome group of ladies and two gentleman who truly love teaching just as much as I do!

Did I mention the food was amazing!

Cupcake Shower for a Princess #1 !

I have loved our local Cupcakery from day one of it opening! 

The Cupcakery always provided Mike and I with a tiny sweet date or a tiny surprise during an achievement or romantic moment in our lives! So I was beyond blessed to have my first BABY SHOWER at the Cupcakery!

I was only allowed to invite a certain amount of people to this shower .. so I made it a close friend event. With a group of 20-30 ladies who truly have each made a little to a whole lot of impact on my life here in FLORIDA! 

We truly had an amazing time and are blessed to have the local cupcakery!!! :) They as well as the group of friends who helped set up and their husbands who were put to work to make this shower possible!
