Strawberry Festival

On Saturday, we attended the 75th Annual Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City, FL. It was gorgeous weather, mid-60s, and sunny! Caitlin took her Mommy, Dadd, Grandma & Grandpa Sivula with her. :) We waiting in line and got the ever-famous Strawberry Shortcake. Then, ate yummy fair food and saw some great exhibits...no rides yet...maybe in a few years for Caitlin. Caitlin also got to experience her first taste of Shaved ice/sno-cone. It was yummy! She loves digging for ice in Grandma Sivula's cup, so a whole cup of it with cherry syrup was AMAZING! Grandpa Sivula also bought her some cotton candy...however, Mommy insisted that he take it home with him, and give Caitlin on a few nibbles...Mommy & Daddy didn't want to be up all night with a baby with a tummy ache! All in all, it was a wonderful day...and Caitlin enjoyed her first experience at the Florida Strawberry Festival!

Caitlin's First Birthday!

Caitlin turned 1 on Thursday! So, we celebrated with Mom & Dad Sivula coming over for some yummy pizza, cake and presents! We had a great time and Caitlin loved all of her fun presents...especially her new Princess Kitchen from G&G Sivula. Will post picks in the next post. Below are the ceremonial cake photos...more to come of these too!

Catholic Charities, 'Walk for Life'

My Dad signed up to walk the Catholic Charities, 'Walk for Life' to help aid single mom's in baby supplies and support to raise their children on their own...as well as spreading awareness for the "Respect Life" organization. It is a great cause, and something close to our heart, especially as we are raising our own little family. I was quite involved in this organization in College and prior to moving to Orlando in 2005. It is nice to start to get back involved with this great cause! Caitlin went on the walk with Grandpa & Daddy. I think they all enjoyed themselves.

Grandpa excited to take Caitlin on the track!

Wicked

For our Anniversary, Roger surprised me with an 'early' present. He took me to see the wonderful musical, 'Wicked'. It was AMAZING! Even Roger enjoyed it. The sets, the actors, the music...everything! I can't even express it fully in words. For those of you that don't know the story, it is about the relationship between Glinda the good witch and the Wicked Witch of the West while they were in finishing school. It was such a great story...and so captivating! If you ever have a chance to see it, GO!!! It was a great Anniversary gift...extra points to the Hubby for a great Anniversary gift!

Lunch with Family

Roger's Great Aunts & Uncles came to Tampa to visit on Saturday afternoon. We met at our house and then went out for lunch. Those in attendance were, Aunt Eunice & Uncle Jim O'Herrick; Uncle Gil & Aunt Lynn Holtzman; Aunt Doris & Uncle Rick Cunningham; Cousin Jessie (O'Herrick). We had a lovely time and really enjoyed seeing them all. They were visiting Aunt Doris and Uncle Rick who live about an hour north of us, in the Villages, FL.
