Spring Training

Spring Break also means SPRING TRAINING--

Tay and I headed to Tampa to catch the Yankees play.

I'd never been to a pro-game

However, I was really mostly stoked about the BASEBALL HOTDOGS.

Priorities, right?
So after a few pitches, some soft-serv, a HOT DOG (which didn't amaze unfortunately =/, some lemonade, and a GAME BALL, we packed up and headed out.

We party hard.

Tay surely loved it.

I surely loved that he loved it.

Spring Break-Temple Dates

Some of our favorite dates include temples and picnics.

So for one day during Spring Break we grabbed a PubSub (Publix sub-sandwichs are divine, seriously) and headed to the Orlando temple.

It was beautiful weather.

Perfect company

And a day to remember.

Easter

LOVELY holiday.

Went to church

Enjoyed a Sunday stroll

Saw some GATORS in Alice Lake, right across from our house.

Took some pictures

MADE HAM

Had friends over (thank you Hallstrom's)

Relaxed.

Expressed our gratitude for our Savior and his Atonement.

If you don't know her...

Lately I've been feeling a little bit lonely...

And for some reason that made me gravitate towards thinking about my mom.

And how much I miss her.

Something awful.

And how much I wish I could spend time with her..often.

Anyway, perhaps because Mother's day is around the corner,

Or perhaps because my mom is the raddest woman on the planet

Or perhaps I just felt like dedicating an entire post to

 "why lorie ann plaisance is the most wonderful mother in the whole entire world of mothers"

I decided to post a lil' post.

So, for all of the reasons above, here's to my lovely mother. 

Lorie orie-oreo.

My bestest friend

(inter-locking pinkies)

 *Friends*

 an ode to our secret handshake,

(which is no longer secret as of this post)

which has existed since before i can remember

in no particular order,

My mother taught me to value education.

 She has worked incredibly hard through the years obtaining her professional degree.

Did you know I was born during her Chiropractic finals?

ANNND, when I was 3 days old she trans-iluminated my skull in clinicals.

She passed of course.

And is now a successful Chiropractor, who owns her own practice.

My mom, she's a hooooot.

We basically have the time of our lives when we're together.

We're super efficient. Give is a to-do list.

idareyou.

Sometimes she makes these faces that will crack.you.up.

She also raised 4 kiddos.

This one.

(Josh)

And this one.
(Me)

...and this one.
(Hollybear)

And this one:
(Kandikane)

Practically solo.

And with much trepidation.

But with strength.courage.hope.and faith

She's supportive

(mom+holly)

 

Fun.

Cooking Light DELIGHT

Some days I wish I cooked for cooking light.
Except my cooking would be anything but "light"
In fact, I want to make cupcakes the cover of cooking light
And still call it "light"

Anyway, these were my latest.
Funfetti&Chocolate.
I made a homemade frosting and tinted it green, ..but let's just forget that happened.
So here's what DID go well:

That one time we had a Spring Break!

Spring Break was crazy.

I'll present it in short segments...

Day 1? (I think?)

We went to a STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL in Plant City, right outside Orlando.

It was a blast.

We ate crazy food, but not too much.

And we looked at everything insane.

...like this one time Taylor thought he needed a new pillow and found out the one he was looking at was for a C-PAP machine. #sheesh.youngadultproblems

The pics are in no random order. In fact, they are quite in random order.

 I ate a corndog. I wanted like 5.

 Taylor chose a sausage.

 We each got a bowl of STRAWBERRIES. I might have overfilled mine. Let's be real. It was however much you could fit in your bowl for 3.50. 

#GOBIGorgohomementality

 I'm not sure why, but the lil' strawberry tucked in bed on the side of a random barn looked so darn cute.

 More strawberry.

 A random tractor Taylor insisted I stand in front of... I think to see how tall the wheels were. IN.SANE

Taylor's turn!

 

 On our way in...

 Tractor.

 

 

And On our way out...

Valentine's

We're keepin' it chill round here.

I worked.

And Taylor made everything awesome: from the homemade burrito breakfast, to the tulips, and the note.

I love him.

I think I stuck stickies everywhere.

Pretty sure I did.

I know, I'm lame.

As previously mentioned, rough seeee-mester.

I was so beyond happy.
Note tulips are my fav.
Note breakfast burritos are also a fav
Note I didn't even do my hair. I just woke up with some wonderfully fabulous waves and went with it.
Happyasaclam.
