Dance With Me

Starting in a few weeks, this is what Payten will be doing every Thursday morning. She is all signed up for her Dance with Me class. It is approximately an hour a week and is an introductory class about the basic's of dance. She has been shaking her little booty since she could walk so I know this is something she will love.

Now that she is all signed up, its time to start getting all the gear. I danced for years but I forgot how much stuff you really do need. Leotards, tights, ballet slippers, dance bag, etc.... I have been searching the internet for some of the items but if anyone has an recommendations or a internet store that they like please leave me a comment.

Her attire is a black or pink leotard, pink tights, and pink ballet shoes. They have some many adorable leotards. Who knew? I love the ones that are the dresses. Too stinking cute!

As Payten starts her new hobby, stay tuned to lots of pictures and videos :-)

Celebration & Relaxation

The hubby and I headed down to Naples for a adult ONLY weekend! It's our first weekend getaway since before Payten born. It felt kind of weird not worrying about who needs their diaper changed or making sure they eat their meals, it was nice for a change but we sure did miss them!

Here is the birthday girl kicking off her weekend in the beautiful Gulf of Mexico! The water was so unbelievably warm!

After going through a list of about 100 restaurants, we ended up here and it was AWESOME!

We had such a good weekend, so many laughs, one which almost me peeing my pants.. I know TMI. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time and it was much needed! We are hoping we can do one of these adult only weekends more often!

Of course your wondering where the girls were... They spent the weekend at their Mema & Poppy's (my parents). The girls had an absolute blast and my parents sure did too! As soon as we were on our way home Payten was already asking where Mema and Poppy were... :-)

Hope everyone has a great week! Lots of posts to come!

Weekend Review - Little Tikes Fold 'N Store Table



Welcome to the Weekend Review with The Life of Rylie...and Bryce too!, The Florida Hogans, and Angelica's Awesome Adventures! Do you have a product you would like to let everyone know about? Link it up below! Please link to the actual product review and not your blog’s main page. Thank you for joining us!

Since the summer is here and we always seem to be BBQing outside with friends, a picnic table is a must have for the kiddies. I have been contemplating on which one to get for a few months now. A few of them are quite small and only fit about 4 kids.


I finally decided last week that the Little Tikes Fold 'N Store would be great for us. It seats up to 8 kiddies and not to mention it FOLDS! It's so awesome! As you can see below the kiddies love it! You'll be seeing lots more pictures of this being put to good use this summer!

We got an awesome deal at Toys R Us. It was originally $89.99 but we received an additional 20% off because of a sale they were hosting last week. I just love great deals!

Thanks for stopping by our Weekend Review! Have a great weekend!


Princess and the Frog

Yesterday we met with our playgroup for a fun playdate at my girlfriend Kim's house. She had a Princess and the Frog movie watch party. Although there was a lot more playing then watching, all the kids had a blast!

Camryn playing along with the "big" kids!

Enjoying some yummy snacks!

Adorable "Frog" cupcakes that Kim baked! They were so good!
