Dear Blog,

I have been a terrible friend.

I haven't written you in so long. It is crazy how life happens isn't it?

Well, we took a trip to Florida for 8 days last week. We visited 3 cities, a dozen countries at Epcot, saw our good friends, took a quick trip to the old blue house, spent 3 days with family, hopped around 3 theme parks at Disney and got sunburned at the beach. Oh, and one trip to Urgent Care.

It was a very event filled, busy trip. We had something going on every single day from Saturday to Saturday. I took 295 pictures of pretty much everything from the sky to the kiss Bella planted on Jacob's cheek. I have so many pictures to edit for your viewing pleasure and I promise to get to them soon.
This week, we are preparing for the girls FIRST ever Ballet lesson. They begin dance classes on Wednesday. Then, on Thursday morning, the girls and I leave for our trip to LA. It has finally arrived, the Miss Louisiana pageant. Bella will be crowned an official Miss America pageant PRINCESS. What an honor. Our cousin, Victoria, will be competing and Bella will be escorting her in the evening gown competition.

So, we are washing our clothes from our trip last week, packing up for our trip this week, getting our nails done, wrapping up loose ends, buying tights and hair clips.....we even had to buy a few new dresses for the "Pretty Princess" party that the girls will attend at the pageant. It is all very exciting and overwhelming.

Thank you for being a good friend and hanging in there with us. I promise, I will return soon to bore you with stories about Lexie standing on the chair in the restaurant, announcing to everyone she just tooted...
