Tis the time of year to make some resolutions for the year....here are mine.....
1) Tame the bulge. I need to get fit and lose some lbs so I feel younger than my age. I eat pretty healthy.....but could use some activity in my life....and more than just getting off my chair and walking to the bathroom!
2)Enjoy Life More!!! Life in the Wallace Household has become more hectic than ever with all the kids' activities and our jobs. I will to take time to enjoy the little things.
3) Become more frugal!!! The last part of 2010 we became more frugal and worked to pay off debt. I hope that we continue working towards this goal. I hope to become more frugal in every way, shape, and form!
4)Organize my classroom and trash the unused stuff! OOH how I have the need to do this.
5)Play less on facebook...instead read more and knit more!
6)Continue to grow in my spiritual journey.
7) Support Matt in all his new endeavors!
8) Love my kids and spend time doing the little things like playing games, talking, taking a walk or bike ride with them regardless of how tired I am or how dirty the house is!

Cocoa Beach
After our 4 days in Orlando, we headed to Cocoa Beach for 2 additional days. I really wanted to hit the beach on the Gulf Side, but was nervous to make reservations due to the Oil Spill. Instead of the Gulf Side, we headed to the Atlantic Side. Several people recommended Cocoa Beach....so I thought Okay...we'll try it. YUCK for the town of Cocoa Beach. It's a run down town. Thankfully we had a nice hotel, Hampton Inn with a very nice mineral pool instead of chlorine. Hampton Inn's beach access was not a public beach so it wasn't crowded or dirty. We enjoyed the beach and the pool so much!!!! It was great. As far as food, we hit the grocery and got some easy meals to eat from the room so we didn't have to go to restaurants (especially since the choices weren't that great). We did have take out pizza from an amazing place.....Little Venice. Matt picked up the pizza and said it was very clean...two surfer dudes making the pizza dough.... we might consider going back for this great pizza...yep it was that good!
Afternoon Swims
Owen is nicknamed "rain man" because he has to have routines. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Owen gets this behavior from his parents!!! Despite being on vacation, we developed a definite routine. We would get up and go to the park when it opened, experience the park as long as we could, have lunch, do a little more park, then come back to the hotel and swim. Of course, you can't go swimming unless you have your "special coffee".

Character Breakthrough!!!
Owen has been petrified of characters ever since our big trip to Disney when he was 18 months old and met "cow" at a chick fil a grand opening. It didn't help we had character meals daily. He never wanted to go to Chuckie Cheese because of the character, I had to inform the school when Smokey the Bear came...the kid was just plain SCARED. Well, Spiderman was at Universal and this is his first photo with a character since he was 18 months old. He of course had to have Dad with him, but they both like Spiderman. We also rode the ride. (It was for you Ms. Brooklyn! )
Emeril's Restaurant
Good Food was part of our trip! With Matt cooking, he has turned into a "foodie" so Emeril's Restaurant was a must! Emeril's is located on City Walk at Universal. In order to take advantage of the evening park time, we went as casual as we could to Emeril's. I really wanted to dress nicer, but a few rides were calling our names at Island's of Adventure. Emeril's was the first restaurant ever that I've been to where we had 3 waiters taking care of us. It really was a neat experience....only would have been better if Emeril was actually there.
