Disney: Blizzard Beach

Despite the rainy forecast, we decided to stick to the plan and hit the waterpark on this day and I'm SO glad that we did. The rain actually held off until we left, with just enough overcast to not make it miserably hot and have NO crowds. We rode slide after slide--no waiting at all!


The boys loved riding the chair lift to the "big one"


Silly girl. She loved the sitting in the wave pool.





The park had the longest family raft ride in the world. So fun.



The two cutest bums there:

Carter was so happy to find Goofy while everyone else was at the slides. "He's my man."


Ty is a water park machine! He said this was his favorite part of the whole trip.



Latest Obsessions

I'm trying desperately to catch up on my posts (Disney, last days of school, strawberry picking, Paige's birthday...there are so many!!), but I'm having issues with my pictures, so I thought I'd share some of my latest favorites, just because.


I'm actually watching this show right now. I LOVE it!!!!!! By the way, my neighbor's cousin (?), Kayla, is on the show and is doing great!



This bag is the reason I work out every day!!!! You all must try!!



Can't wait for this:

Um..that's it.



Oh, and these: Paige's new shoes, now that she's a walking girl!! Yes, the first ones squeak and have interchangeable bows--I'm in love!

Disney: Hollywood Studios

Out of all the days of rain, this was probably the wettest! This is how we spent 99% of our day at Hollywood Studios:

No, not like this, I just can't get this dumb picture to move anywhere else. See bottom for explaination...


This is how we looked...


It's okay though, because we still had a ton of fun! They had an awesome new Toy Story ride this year that the boys loved and thanks to the rain and lack of crowds, we got to ride a ton!


Apparently, Paige became a little bored of the ride...

The boys also got to meet some of their favorite characters from Playhouse Disney...




and I got to ride the Aerosmith rollercoaster and Tower of Terro over and over again, so all was not lost!
After getting drenched at Hollywood Studios we jetted over to Epcot for a little while. Keith was chosen for a game show contest to see which dad could change the most "babies" diapers and won! So proud!

Disney: Magic Kingdom

So we've been home from Disney for almost a month and I'm just posting now. Oh well, better late than never, right?

As a lot of you know, the weather was not exactly what you hope for at Disney. After the worst Florida drought in decades, there was a tropical storm the whole week we were there. Florida got more rain the week we were there than they had had all year before.

We lucked out with at least one nice day for Magic Kingdom before the storms came and just made the best of the rest. Here's a few from Magic Kingdom, the rest is coming....slowly....






Paige LOVED the characters. She could not get enough of them, squeeling everytime she saw one and leaping out of our arms to give them "loves" on their noses. So sweet!




It wouldn't be a trip to Magic Kingdom without our traditional lunch with the characters at the Crystal Palace. Life-sized stuffed animals? Paige was in heaven! All you can eat buffet? I was in heaven!










Had to share my excellent view:

One Years Old

I can't believe my baby is one years old!! We did a small photoshoot before Disney for her birthday invites. These are the results. Recognize the pink fluff? Yep, the pettiskirt was my latest project, not one that I plan on repeating again anytime soon.
Party and vacation pictures are coming...
