Sweet Home Ruston, Louisiana!

Robert, Georgia Kate, and I packed up and headed to Ruston a couple of weeks ago. We had so much fun and enjoyed seeing all kinds of friends and family. I was headed home for my 10 year reunion, which was nothing like I thought it would be, but it was fun to see old friends. I never thought I would say this, but I love my life in Orlando. I did enjoy seeing friends, but I must admit it was great seeing my family. I hadn't seen my grandmothers since I was in town last March for my Grandfather's funeral. It was good to just hang out and spend time with the people I love. There are lots of pictures! I am so sorry, but I have been so bad about blogging. Hope you enjoy the pics and the glimpse into my sweet family! I think they are pretty close to perfect!

Georgia Kate and my sweet Grandmother. She has just recently moved into an assissted living and Georgia Kate loves to go visit her!

Georgia Kate getting on the door! This door was at my grandparents old house that we grew up going to. When I was in college they moved to another house and brought the door with them. It had lots of memories and they wanted to keep those memories going! I can't tell you how many times my Pawpaw measured our height on the door!

Of course she is helping!

The Family headed out to the picnic for my reunion.

My precious baby girl...look at that smile!

I love this little girl more than anything in the world. I never thought that I could love something this much. Look at that smile and look at those crazy curls! Its times like these that make me so happy to be a Mommy!

Go Gators!!!!!!!

It was a great Saturday in our household last weekend as I am sure that is the case for most of you good southerners that love fall and LOVE football. We had been looking forward to last Saturday for weeks. We had the best time last weekend watching games and just hanging out.

Even though the gators really didn't show up and play their best we still enjoyed dressing in our orange and blue and getting ready for gameday. We started out our morning with a little College Gameday and then moved on to the Florida game and ended with watching the good ole tigers play. It was a great day and we enjoyed ourselves...so did Georgia Kate. Look how cute my little gator girl is.

Back to School

Georgia Kate started preschool this past week. We were so nervous about how she would adjust since she screams every time we leave her. She did GREAT and we were so proud of our little angel. She seemed to have adjusted well and I think that she really likes her new school. I love these pictures. She was loving her photo session this morning. How cute is her backpack?

How many years do you think she will give Daddy a goodbye kiss?

A Back to School Get Away

We went to the JW Marriott in Orlando for a little get away before school started back. We were looking for something fun to do and it is sooooo hot here that the zoo, Disney, or Sea World didn't sound like very much fun. We kept thinking about the beach or the pool. So we decided to go to the Marriott and hang out for the evening and then stayed through lunch the next day. We had a blast with Georgia Kate. We got there on Thursday and Robert had to go to a meeting, so GK and I headed to the pool. It has a lazy river so we floated and played and played some more. We had so much fun.

Then we got cleaned up and headed to dinner. Georgia Kate was so much fun. She just hung out and was such a BIG girl. It was lots of fun to just be out of the everyday rush and enjoying time with her.

On Friday morning we got up and had breakfast and then headed back to the pool. The JW is next door to the Ritz so we could use their pool area. They had a great kids area so we went over there for a little bit and let GK run around in the fountains. She loved it and so did we. SO MUCH FUN!!!

A Nice Little Visit...

I have not been great about blogging all summer, but we were so busy and Georgia Kate was on the move. Definitely different than last summer. We were so lucky to have a visit from Uncle Ryan and Aunt Sarah. We have been dying for them to come to Orlando to visit us and they decided to come this summer. We had the best time and Georgia Kate LOVED having her sweet aunt and uncle here to play with her.

She loves her Uncle Ryan

We went to Aquatica the Sea World water park. She had a blast and loved every minute of it.

Tea Time with Gogo

Georgia Kate has really been into tea parties lately. She got one from our good friend Ashley Palmer for her birthday. I saved several of her toys from her birthday to bring out on a rainy day. Well...while Gogo was her just so happened to be the perfect time. She and Georgia Kate had a tea party every day. GK loved her fun time with Gogo. We also had yummy Cookie Cousin Cookies to go along with our tea party. Yum Yum! I know that Georgia Kate will treasure her time with her Grandmother one day. Thanks, Gogo for spending so much time with us and helping Georgia Kate make memories. We had a blast while you were here.

Warning!!!!! Warning!!!! Picture Overload!!!!

Ok...so I am a terrible blogger. I sit down every night to finally post something on my blog and then I get carried away with every other blog that I am exhausted by the time I get to mine and nothing gets posted! So I am making a commitment to blog a little bit more. My main reason for blogging is to keep my family and friends that live far away from us updated on what is going on in our lives here in sunny Orlando, FL. I hate that my sweet mother, Georgia Kate's Gogo doesn't get to see her precious face every day so I try to post it on here every once in a while for her to see her in action. Well, my mother has been here for a month and we have had the time our lives. We have gone to the beach for the annual Pearce Beach Party. Uncle Ryan and Aunt Sarah came and spent several days with us and we have done all sorts of fun things around Orlando. Gogo leaves tomorrow and we are so sad, but I guess we have to get back to normal and start getting ready for school and wrap up our summer.

So...here are some pics from the last part of our vacation to Destin, FL. We had the best time with all of our aunts and cousins. Yes...we do have on matching t-shirts on in some of these pictures. We are THAT family that buys matching t-shirts. I do have to say we are a lot of fun and our shirts are super cute! Enjoy the pics of GK and her sweet family. She was the star of the show and had a blast in the sand and water! She definitely was the queen of the castle.
