Daddy's Long Vacation!!

Well, we have had a very long vacation!!! It was fun to have Jake home for two and a half months, but it was very stressful. Jake was supposed to start with Lockheed on June 7 th, pending a security clearance and background check! Well the 7th came and the background check wasn't through so they pushed our start date to the 28th and then to July 12th and we finally found out last Tuesday that we can finally start this Monday! Yay, finally! So our long vacation has finally come to an end! We played at the beach, city festivities and LOTS of at home tea parties (Addi's new obsession). We found every possible, no cost entertainment that there was to find in Orlando Florida! The girls and I have some excitement coming up very soon!! My little brother comes home from his mission next Wednesday so me and the girls have one way tickets home, where we will be spending 2 weeks with the family! Then since I have pretty much been without a car for two years, stuck at home with two stir crazy little girls, my uncle is selling us a very cheap but very nice van (I know!!! I'm NOT excited about being a van owner but after two years of nothing to drive, I think I would drive ANYTHING!) So after two weeks the girls and I and a VERY brave sister-in-law are going to attempt the 2000 and something miles back to the sunny state of Florida (wish us luck!) Then from there our lives get even more hectic! Jake is giving me my Dream, I'm starting culinary school, to be a Pastry Chef, this fall and Addi is starting a co-op pre-school that I'm organizing, so between the two we shall be busy, I guess it should make up for two years of sitting idle on the couch!! Well just a quick head's up on what will be happening in our lives! These are just some fun picture's of the last couple months! My poor babies hair grow's like a weed but just down the middle, so she either has a comb over or a mohawk or in this case when the wind is blowing....who know's what that hair do is!!
Our little fish, she LOVES the Beach and she LOVES swimming!!!
We had a fun 4th of July, we went to some city festivities and waited in some weird patches of pouring rain to see some fireworks that were pretty lame!! Then on Sunday we were out in our yard having a BBQ and happened to realize that they were shooting off a HUGE nice firework show over the Golf course right in our front yard!! Good to know for next year, I guess we will have front row seats and no waiting!!


A wonderful little entertaining Jumper that my mom bought for Brielle to keep her occupied!! We have since realized that this little girl will only be happy when she finds a way to climb the walls!!
Addi's many entertaining Tea Parties, Brielle enjoys them too!!
Our friends had a Mustache Birthday party!! So don't judge us please but because of the way Brielle's hair has grown in, we have always teased that she looks like Hitler!! So when our friends said they were having a Mustache party we just couldn't resist!!

Our cute little girls in their WAY cute 4th of July dresses, I never tire of dressing my two pretty girls alike!!
Sorry about the long post, but just a little of what is going on in our lives!!

Excitement!! I didn't know you had so many neat plans for the future -- you are a "natural" for pastry chef and the pre-school thing too. You are an amazing and talented girl!! Can't wait to see you and those darling little girls.
