A Piece of Paradise

Off on our honeymoon to Ocho Rios, Jamaica...from Roanoke->Charolette->Montego Bay!!  We were sooooo excited, but exhausted from leaving in the weeee hours in the morning...things start getting fuzzy from there, lol!
Yay!!  We made it to Montego Bay...little did we know, we still had hours on a, so called dirt road w/ several stops for shopping & Red Stripes until we finally made it to the RIU in Ocho Rios...
 
                                       Beautiful view from our room
                            Chris gettin' ready to show off his beach volleyball skillz
                 While we were sitting on one of the lobby patios, waiting to eat dinner...
Part of the RIU, where we stayed...taken while we were on a paddleboat...yes, I said a paddleboat, lol!  We were a little far out, needless to say, we got our exercise for the week getting back to dry land, lol!

Jamaica is just beautiful!  Other than the town people in the boats & standing in the water that were dying to braid my hair, and wanted us to buy anything from homemade necklaces to illegal substances...it was perfect!  Don't get me wrong, the Jamaican people were nice...especially after we explained that we were on our honeymoon....and Chris was a policeman(okay, so that's not true, but it sure did make them STOP asking us if we wanted any illegal stuff!). 

Can you tell we LOVED the food!!  And notice the wine glasses in the bottom pic...look familiar?  Yep, they're in my cabinet...compliments of ME!  Long story short, we were supposed to get a honeymoom pkg including wine, choc. covered strawberries or a fruit platter in our room upon arrival...well, someone dropped the ball & bridezilla wasn't very happy!  After discussing this w/ mgmt, we returned to our room to find....a rinky dink plate with fruit from the fruit bar!  NOT FUNNY...so, we took the matter into our own hands & needless to say, brought home some pretty awesome RIU souvenirs!!

Finalized! ~ Hailey's Ballerina Bedroom Redo

I am totally singing the  HALLELUJAH CHORUS !  After months of contemplating Hailey's bedroom redo and realizing after I started that this was harder than expected with tons of DIY projects...it's DONE!!   Well, at least for now.  Possible that I will continue with cosmetic procedures later, but for now...here it is... Just a walk down memory lane... even though it's totally embarrassing with overflow of clutter in which I strongly dislike... Oh my...look at the bedskirt, lol!  Felt a tad bit sorry for Lindsey who thought she belonged with her favorite stuffed animals in the hammock.... But anyway, after painting her walls pink and hand painting sillhouettes of ballerinas...it was on!  I have been so greatful that God placed the perfect people in my path to finish Hailey's room with one of the Dance mom's, Jenna Pratt who exchanged a ballerina comforter set plus pillows and curtains for a video baby monitor...absolutely perfect! ...

A little bit of sunshine and new endeavors

The weather is warmer and the girls love our backyard paradise. I'm so grateful the both enjoy imagination play, hand-me-down swing sets and space to roam. Hailey has been enjoying her gymnastic class, tricks at home and trying to give me gray hairs....                                                     These girls love their trampoline!                                      Some of their made up games...surprise tag from the great down under...                    Always time for a picture while sitting and playing on the trampoline.                                        They got the biggest kick out of the static ele...
