Long Weekend in Florida

Since we are here in Montgomery, Alabama and we had a long weekend, we decided to take advantage of it and go to Florida for a few days! The weather had got a little warmer ~ well it wasn't below freezing anymore, and so we set off Saturday morning.  The trip was pretty uneventful, Noah slept most of the way, and was again extremely good for the rest of the drive.  It took about 3 hours to get there and I am pleased to say we didn't even get lost, thanks to my fabulous navigation skills! :)

Since it was the afternoon when we arrived in Fort Walton, we decided to just go out get food take a look around and go to the cinema.  We went and saw Chronicles of Narnia ~ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  I absolutely loved it and thought it was rather funny too.

As the next day was Sunday, we went to church and then decided to go for a family walk.  We walked to Hurlbert Field beach and saw the sunset.  It was bea-utiful!  I was able to get some great photos too.

On Monday we took a trip to Pensacola and visited the National Museum of Naval Aviation.  It was really fun.  Noah loved seeing all the aeroplanes and getting to have his photo in the cockpit of a plane.  He enjoyed it so much that he slept nearly all the way home.

Here are some pictures of our trip.  I hope you enjoy them ~ ciao for now.

Easter Fun

We really loved having a week off for Easter Break!  It was very much needed, for all of us.  I love having Noah at home.  He's such a great help and now that he's older, he's a real good buddy for me.  We have really great, grown up conversations, I love it.  We just really enjoyed family time, seeing old friends and eating lots of chocolate.  Isn't that what school breaks are all for?!  Here are a few photos of our fun.

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy. View from our front door Noah trying to make a snow angel.  The snow had unfortunately frozen, because of freezing rain, but it did make a little indent. Noah p...

Noah's Baptism

Image
It really is great to be 8!  Our handsome Noah has been looking forward to this day for over a year now.  In our church you are able to get baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the age of 8. We believe that Baptism is an important first step to returning back to our Heavenly Father and to be able to eventually live together forever.  (For my non LDS friends you can read more about baptism and our religion here .)  We have been planning for a few weeks some of the things he wanted and he was super excited because both his grandparents were able to visit for his special day. He was baptized on his birthday by his daddy and the given the gift of the Holy Ghost by daddy too.  We had a small gathering, but enjoyed a yummy ice cream bar afterwards, Noah's request! :) We are so proud of him.  Noah is growing up to be a fine young man, he's caring, loving, intelligent, humble, crazy (the good kind :), there is never a dull mom...
