Sea World or Bust

We decided to take a day trip to Sea World last Saturday since Fadi had the day off (thank GOD) and the weather forecast was calling for great weather! We got up bright an early and made the hour and 15 minute trip. The shows were great and we really enjoyed the paddle boats!! It was soo funny to watch Eliana and Fadi on the paddle boat since he was the only one who was able to paddle. Eliana was just cracking up! We have made an ongoing deal with Eliana, that when we go to a theme park and fun event like the circus, she is able to to chose one treat. It may be ice cream, candy, or a toy. But whatever it is she knows that it is her choice and she can only have one. Today she chose to have her face painted (totally not the first time :)

She is such a cheese ball :)

I love this guy!!!!

So does she :)

Notice the slight tilt :)

And she touched a sting ray for the first time!! So proud of her :)

Valentine's Day (part 2)

Fadi planned a nice dinner at a new restaurant called Pssghetti's in clearwater. Dinner was ok, I don't think we will be back anytime soon but it was really nice to have some alone time. We also went bowling later that night. Played 6 games and I beat him 5 out of 6:) He will say that he let me win because it was valentines day but I will tell you that he was getting more angry after every game:) I did bowl the best games I have ever bowled I think, they just happen to all be on the same night.

Happy Valentines Day (part 1)

Fadi and I celebrated part of our Valentines day Saturday morning since Eliana would be with her mom on Valentines day. Eliana loved the new clothes, headband, and soccer ball. My parents also sent her a package and she LOVES getting mail from mimi and nunu :) They sent her a card that plays music of course:) some money, a new dress, and some pretty pink hair ties that makes eliana feel like a 'cheerleader' which she absolutely loves! My parents also sent me two new pandora charms :) I love the charms and I love my parents even more!!!

"pun - i - mish"

Eliana and I had an interview session last night and she found it absolutely hilarious!! We are discussing her first punishment :)

Eliana can tie her own shoes!

For a couple of weeks now Eliana has been tying her own shoes! Tonight was finally when I was able to capture it on video :)
