Salisbury and Plum Island

We got in the car and headed somewhere new, Grammies vacation to the beach the first time wasnt so good...the water was freezing and windy so she didnt get to enjoy it. I will post about that next! LOL!

Salisbury was real pretty and i could not believe how big the beach was! It was huge! Makes you feel so small and realize how petty and small we are. Then we went to Plum Island and Newburyport! Which we all loved!

We hit up Newburyport, which happens to be lovely. It had quaint cobblestone streets with little shops up and down. There was a huge boardwalk and everyone was real friendly! I love it there!


This was down one of the side streets, there was a small park for kids, ice creams shoppes, and this rock structure and during the summer i think there are little water hoses that spray over these!


My amazing husband and I. This picture came literally 1 minute before we raced down the boardwalk...he hit his hand on the post and broke his hand! I still won the race..:)

Grammie, Daddy and Nicole hanging out on Plum Island!


Daddy and Nicole at some submarine, we got there at 10 of 4:00 and the tours close at 4:00 so the guy wouldnt let us in..mind you we were the only people there. I was so mad. LOL


A little teepee that was on the beach...earlier there was a man and a woman who had a cat dressed up and was taking its picture in here. LOL...so weird!


Mommy at the beach!

10 Things Tuesday, well its Friday

I have been so slacking on this blog for so long...i use to love doing this and updating everyone on what was going on, writing what happened during the day. I got side tracked and talking to an old friend today she was telling me how she missed her blog and how she would write things down and how happy she was. So i looked up my blog and realized me too. I missed this.

Ten Things Tuesday i use to do to remind myself of what was wonderful in my life....and so today i am going to do it....

10 Things Friday

1. My daughter..the absolute joy of my life. Last night she showed me she wanted an American Girl Wheelchair, she said she saved the money and wants to get one. The $20 that daddy gave her to get me ice cream on my birthday she still has, and said she needs to talk to daddy since she didnt use it can she have it. LOL...that a girl!

2. Nicole's prayer last night was so beautiful and unselfish, unlike mine. She said that she appreciated God. How beautiful...I appreciate God.

3. My husband for working so hard and smiling through his tiredness.

4. My dear old friend...you will always be my friend no matter if i dont talk to you for years...i am always here.

5. My dad. I miss him more than words can say, but now i am at the point of letting go of all my anger and realizing what a great dad he was to me. He made me strong, smart and who i am.

6. My mom for listening to me...especially when i drone on and on about whatever useless crap i talk about.

7. Samantha...just for knowing me and not hating me for it.

8. Fresh brewed coffee. Seriously. we got a Keurig and its good...but it broke and havign a fresh pot has a world of good to it! Love it!

9. Calendars! Love mine...love looking at all the little days what i put in them and what is to be for the next days...i really love it.

10. MYSELF...always a work in progress but always finding who i am....i am grateful that i am so self aware.


Sooooo...i am back!

Nicole likes to play hairdresser, and decided Daddy needed a haircut. Well, i might have forgot to tell Daddy that i gave her real scissors!!!!!!!! LOL....she did a great job!!!!!!!

Patriot Place with Grammy and Grampy!

Grammy and Grampy came down for a fun filled day!!! We hit Patriot Place, went to the Hall of Fame for the Patriots! We had a great time! They added all new exhibits there, but the best part i think is the movie at the beginning of the tour. We headed to lunch and then went for a walk around the Cranberry Bog at Bass Pro! thank you grammy and grampy for a wonderful day!

Sleigh Ride

Grammy and Grampy surprised us with a sleigh ride! It was so beautiful and so perfect!!!! The horses were huge and the view was amazing. In the middle of the ride we stopped at a small campfire stop and had hot dogs and hot chocolate!!!! It was such a different and amazing experience! It was one of the best things we have ever done!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Grammy and Grampy!

Nicole's 1st Hockey Game

Winter Ocean Trip

We trecked out on our yearly winter ocean trip! We love going to the ocean and seeing the waves and play in the sand and the dunes! It was so fun, Nicole climbed the dunes and pretended to be a superhero! It was nice to get away and be alone and hear the waves...loved it!
