Can't wait for next year!! These girls are amazing moms and friends. They each are so beautiful and bring so much joy to my life!!

Disney World

Wow-- what amazing time we had-- Seeing the kids faces and watching them have so much fun is worth all the sweat, tantrums, lines, and crowds. We didn't tell the kids where we were going-- we just went in and woke them up and put them in the car. I wish y'all could have been there when they saw the Disney World Sign. It was the best!!


Since we were going for Miles' Birthday, I booked the pirate room-- knowing he loves his pirates. The room was so neat-- both beds were pirate ships and the room decor was perfect for Miles. Even to this day he keeps saying, "I want to go to my pirate room!"

Mickey and Minnie even called the room to wish him a Happy Borthday. He thought that was so awesome!! I think he listened to it 50 times.

This first day we just hung around the hotel and swam!! The pool was so neat and the kids had a blast!! 

The next 2 days we spent at Magic Kingdom! The kids rode on every ride they could multiple times!! Madison could do the Mine Train and is now addicted to roller coasters. Miles loved the goofy roller coaster, Dumbo, Magic Carpet Ride, Pirates of the Carribean, Peter Pan, and Winnie the Pooh. He kept saying, "This is the best day ever!" Morgan loved all the rides too and just kept pointing at everything!! She even liked the characters. She would walk right up to them and squat down. Everyone thought it was the cutest thing ever.  We even made it back for a nap, so we could stay for the magical night time parade!!











And yes I got my hands on some Dole Whip!! Y'all it is amazing!!


Miles had a blast and 2 days is definitely enough!! He keeps asking to go back!! We will be back soon for sure!!

3rd Birthday Party

We had a small birthday party here, at the house, when we returned from Disney World. Miles requested a Minion cake, so that is what he got. We had family and a few of his friends over for pizza and cake. And of course swimming! Yall should have seen him when we sang Happy Birthday!! – biggest smile ever!! A friend snapped a picture so you all could see!! He was so happy!!  He had a blast and keeps telling everyone about his Minion cake—that must have been  his favorite part.

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Wow—I think this birthday is bittersweet. I don’t want my baby boy to grow up, but at the same time I have been counting down the days until he turned 3. The 2’s were crazy. He is such a joyful, fun, sweet, funny, silly, and most of the time loving kid. He loves to snuggle, play, and harass his sisters. He loved school this year and made so many friends. Everyone always wants to be around him as his happiness and carefree spirit are so contagious. He is always singing and dancing and having the best time in whatever he does. HE LOVES LIFE!! His hair is his most prominent and well known feature. People are always coming up to us to tell us they love and want his hair. He is really into minions, paw patrol, and anything to do with the water.  He would swim or shower for hours if we let him. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOY!! WE LOVE YOU!!

Pee, Pee, and More Pee

This kid is constantly cracking us up and keeping us on our toes. He is so funny and loves life. We are in the midst of potty training and it is so different with a boy this time than a girl. I am not used to the pee everywhere(and  I mean everywhere) because for some reason it is really difficult to get it in the potty. REALLY?? Gross. He spends  a lot time outside and naked. This seems to be the easiest way for him now.  As you can tell—he doesn’t mind this so much. Oh yeah-- and his favorite question-- but, WHY???  Gosh, we love this boy and his joy for life. I still can’t believe he will be 3 this weekend!! If you can keep a secret – I will let you know that we are off to Disney Friday for his birthday—but don’t tell!!

Last Day of Kindergarten

I still can’t believe my baby is done with kindergarten.  She has learned so much and passed with flying colors! She is reading and writing so well! Her teachers this year were amazing. Mrs.Ferguson and Mrs. Stubenrach were so patient and loving to these kids. I loved being able to help out and spend time with the entire class. I was so nervous and  worried about this transition for Madison. I was worried that she would stand out and get made fun of—that she wouldn’t make friends—that she would need help more than others—but to say to she proved us wrong is an understatement. She blew us away. Her teachers told me several times  how amazing  she  was  in never letting anything get in her way. She never once complained that she couldn’t do something. WE ARE SO PROUD OF HER!! She loved  everything  about school from learning to playing to eating to socializing. I can’t wait to see what first grade holds for her!!
