Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I turned 20...plus 9. Aaaah! It's my last year of my twenties! I had a lot of fun today. I went to lunch with my hubby and had fun with my kids. They loved wrapping presents and celebrating with me. It was a nice relaxing day. I got a new dock for my ipod, some new sunglasses, and new tennis balls. However, the best gift I got today was a brand new little niece. Jon's sister, Cheryl, had a baby girl this morning. She named her Hailey Kay Kingsford. Kay is my middle name (and Lindsay's) and I am truly honored that they thought of me! We're so glad Hailey is here and we can't wait to see her!

Tampa

Our weekend get-a-way last weekend was a trip to Tampa Bay. We visited Busch Gardens and got to see lots of other sights...including Paul Revere & the Raiders. We have been to the Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia and let me tell you, there is no comparison. The B.G. in Tampa is out of this world. I definitely liked it better than any park at Disney World. There was a great balance between grown-up activities and kid activities. Jon and I went on some of the best roller coasters I have ever been on. We really enjoyed Tampa. We live in such a small town, it was so nice to visit a large city with skyscrapers and freeways.

So glad Daddy's back!

Jon arrived home safely on Jan. 31. We have been having lots of fun since he's been home. He doesn't have to go back to work for a couple more weeks and it feels like we have been on a non-stop vacation. We've gone out to lunch, gone to the beach, played tennis, and last weekend we went to Panama City, Florida for a weekend get-a-way. We are all enjoying having Daddy home, especially me! Jon really is an awesome father and he has been such a huge help with the kids. I've actually had some time to myself to just relax. He has loved seeing his new little baby and can't seem to get enough of him! Hooray...we survived our first deployment!
