SEAFOOD LOVER. . . last night we had seafood for dinner and Mia jumped right in and started chowing down. I tell you, there is very little this child doesn't eat. She could probably eat a bushel of clams if we let her. She kept asking for more steamers as soon as she finished her share. I was showing her how to snap the shell to get into the crab legs and she didn't do to bad. AGAIN another, hmmmm I wonder if I am going to pay for turning her into a seafood lover too!!

Fancy - Schmancy I think we may be in trouble, Mia just loves to get her hands and feet done. I painted her nails this time and it is amazing how still she will stay if she wants too! Mike came home when we were doing this and he said "Oh no! You know what you are starting Barbara, right!" and I said "of course!"

Saturday Mia and her gymnastics group did a show at the Firefighter's Fair. All the girls did so well and it was hysterical. Afterwards, the girls hit the midway. Mia had quite a crowd, Grandpa and Grandma brought their friends and Grandaddy and Grandma T came up for the weekend. Our friends Tami and Tamara also came to the show with their children. It was a great day!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Last night was a nighttime launch for the shuttle, so Mike, Mia, and I went down to the marina to watch it. It was so spectacular and we could not have asked for better weather. When we first arrived the dolphins were feeding and were really chasing the fish right in front of us. We were the only ones on the dock so it was like our private dolphin show, just for us. At one point , a group of them were cornering a bunch of fish and the fish jumped up in the air and the dolphins caught the fish mid air, I felt like I was at Seaworld. We see dolphins often on the boat , however; last night was amazing. There must have been 6 to 8 dolphins feeding. I couldn't even get it on film, I never wanted to take my eyes off of the water. Mia was staring with her mouth wide open, no words!!! now that's a first ; ).

Friday we spent the day at Disney. The weather was just too good to pass up! These girls were so sweet to Mia when we were waiting in line for face painting and asked to take a picture with her so I decided to snap one with my camera too!

Daddy and Mia watching the parade!

A day on the water . . . . Friday we went for a little boating and of course Mike mixed in some fishing. Mia wanted to drive so we let her do it a little. When it was time to get moving, Mia sat on my lap in the front of the boat and she giggled the entire time we were jumping the wakes. She said "Daddy faster, this is like Disney World"

I have entered this post in the iheartfaces photography contest. It is a blog that conducts weekly photography topics and announces a winner each week. This week's topic is "messy", and since we went out to dinner Friday night at a local barbq restaurant, we let Mia go to town on ribs. Thank goodness she had on a dark blue sweatshirt. Go to their site for a visit, it really has some talented people submitting photos, I am probably out of my league!!
