Spring Break

For the last part of Spring Break we took a quick trip to south Florida to visit family and friends there. It was a blast and just the little vaycay that we needed. :) Especially Tyler, he has had so much work to do this semester, we will both be glad when it's over. We were just sort of chilling and taking it easy, so I didn't get any pictures of the first part of the trip, but we got to go have dinner and hang out with Rich, Sammi, Joe, Jess and Steph which was A BLAST as usual. :) Then the next day we visited Melissa and her family, the ones who used to watch Nicholas for us down there. Nicholas's spanish is a little rusty, so we'll have to work on that for next time. After that we met up with some of Tyler's old work buddies and their wives, and a friend of mine from my old job. It was great to catch up and see how everyone was doing.
On sunday we went out on the boat with Shelly, Janice, Stacy, and a good friend of Janice's. I was so preoccupied putting sunscreen on Nicholas that I neglected to put it on my face. I got the rest of me where I usually burn, legs, arms, etc but didn't get my face... whoops! Oh well, it was SOO worth it. ;) Here are just a few pics of the fun.

Nicholas chilled like this on Tyler's lap and just fell right to sleep. He splept that way for like an hour until we stopped to have sandwiches for lunch.

Cute Stacy putting her feet up!

It took him a little while to figure out he could move and walk with the life jacket on, before that he would stand frozen. But once he figured it out he was all over, and wanting to play

It was great seeing everyone that we've really missed, and a special thanks to Shelly and Janice for putting us up for a few days, and for putting up with us for a few days ;)

Beating Bama!

We went to the basketball game against Alabama tonight and brought Nicholas. He was a little bit worn out from no naps during the first part of the day, so when I went to wake him up at about 6:30 pm to get him ready to go he didn't even budge! Tyler was rubbing his back and I was saying "Nicholas, Nicholas" and he just snored softly. It was the cutest thing! So we let him sleep and decided to go a little bit late. About 15-20 minutes later we got him up and headed down to the game. It was his first ever live sporting event, and we were a little bit nervous about the noise. He did ok when we walked into the stadium, but being close to the half, and being a close game when we scored the crowd went wild! We were walking right behind the student section and it frightened Nicholas pretty bad. He cried all the way up to our seats and then I took him and we cuddled for a minute with me blocking his ears and trying to let him know these were happy sounds. He clung to me for a few more minutes, and then finally let go to give me some high fives, and "pound its" and then went back to Tyler's lap. Everything was great and he was handling the cheers ok until there was a free throw where the whole crowd got super quiet, and then... he made the basket and the crowd went wild again! Well, that scared the buh-jeebeez outta him and he started crying again and came back to mommy. I think it was just the startling factor that got him, so I started commentating for him and saying, "Get ready to clap, they're coming down to shoot!" and then they would score and I'd say "Yay! Clap your hands!" Or, "Dance to the music!" or "Do the Gator Chomp, Buddy!" and he started to have loads and loads of fun. :) The night was a success. And crying, or happy he was the cutest Gator in the place. :) Here are the pics to prove it.
