What a Day....

Carleigh enjoyed her ice cream in her Princess Mobile!
Lauren enjoying a cheeto... she cannot wait to be able to walk and play.
Carleigh got a little tired and took a little rest in the driveway. THE WHOLE GANG!!!
Reese really loved the princess mobile also!

After this past week of cold weather eveybody was so glad to get out and play today. Hunter had his friend that just moved out of the neighborhood come home from school so the whole gang was here. We had an ice cream party and played until dark... so much fun. Anna Kate and Lauren came over also and so the girls played in the front and the boys in the back. Of course the kids were exhausted tonight so bedtime was not a problem.

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

You know you are in trouble when you do not hear the kids for awhile and it hits you that you haven't hear MAMA for a while. Carleigh seems to do that often now! Just a little of the messes she makes....of course her brothers are teaching her well!!!

Animal Kingdom

The last day we went to the Animal Kingdom. It was the perfect day for it since it was very laid back and everyone was pretty tired. Chase finally decided that he liked the characters and then wanted his picture made with all of them. We rode the safari...very neat and the kids got to see alot of animals. We really lucked out with a front row seat to the parade. Of course the boys had to show off their shark tatoos....they really thought they were cool. What a great trip we had.

Day 2 of Sea World

We went back to Sea World on Wednesday and the kids loved all they saw. We saw the penguins,sharks, fed the sea lions, and saw the dolphin and whale show. The boys also enjoyed "bungy jumping". Carleigh still just sat back in her stroller and took it all in. I think she was amazed. Chase loved the sharks and the manatees...mom's favorite. Hunter said he liked everything. Another fun day...but by this time this Mom was getting very tired! The kids were doing better than me at this point!

Magic Kingdom

MeMe and the boys with Mickey.

Carleigh just sat back in the stroller and took it all in. Mickey really liked MeMe!!

The second day we went to the Magic Kingdom and the look on the kids face made it all worth while. They were speechless. All the characters were there to greet as we came in. Chase and Carleigh really didn't like the characters that much but Hunter loved them. The boys favorite thing was the the Buzz Lightyear Ride. Carliegh loved the bear jamboree. She danced the whole time. Although I think that the boys really loved the monarail best of all!

Sea World

The First day we got there we went to Sea World for just a couple of hours. The kids were dying to go somewhere so we went to see the night shows. Shamu was a little hormonal though and would not let any of the other whales do their show. She did her show and then blocked the gate so that the other whales could not get out. It was pretty funny. the trainers said that almost never happens. The kids loved it and it gave them a taste of what was to come for the rest of the week.

We made it through Disney!

Chase with Carleigh's mouse ears on...don't ask!




Well we made it home from Disney and it was such an experience. We really had a great time. Here are a few pictures but I will post more later. Tom and I were more exhausted than the kids. Thank goodness MeMe went with us or I don't know if we would have survived. The weather was perfect and the kids did better than we ever expected. It really was a great trip!

The whole class with the birthday boy!


Chase had his party at school today and he had so much fun. His sweet teacher made a birthday book for him and had all his friends color him a page and put it together. She is so crafty and tallented. He loves Mrs. Maston!! He had cupcakes and played and had a good time. He loved the attention. Cannot wait to see how he acts at his real birthday tomorrow.

Flying High!

So my boys are very creative. They have made themselves a swing with a ski rope and think it is the best thing in the world. All the neighborhood gang comes over and they push each other as high as it will go. It is so funny what cheap entertainment can do.

Look at that HAIR!!

Carleigh was playing on her cousin Baylee's slide yesterday and the static took over. I thought it was too cute not to share. She really looks like her finger has been in a socket.

My Jammin' Boys

The boys love thier music. They both got mp3 players for Christmas and they constantly have them on. Now they have hooked my computer speakers to them in their room and turn it wide open. I thought that was suppose to happen when they were teenagers not now. Chase really gets into his dancing. They are so funny when they do get along.

Spring Fever!!

It was such a beautiful day today that the kids loved being outside doing their thing! Carleigh is really keeping up with the boys this year. She is definitely not scared of dirt! Chase and Carleigh having their snacks...of course and Hunter setting up and ready for baseball. They love being outside and I love it too because they sure do crash at night.
