Fun on the Fourth



Yesterday was a GrEaT family day! We spent the day at the pool and then went to see the fireworks at Great Waters!  The kids had a blast at the jump house, getting their face painted, eating snow cones, and just having a wonderful time.  It was one of the best fireworks displays I have seen!  We all had an AWESOME time making fun fourth of July memories with the kids! 




Hope you had a WONDERFUL Fourth with your family!

9 years

Today, Marc and I have been married for 9 years.  I cannot believe that is has been that long already.  I could not have asked for a better 9 years. He is my best friend and I do not know what I would do without him.  He has blessed me with two wonderful children and he is such a great dad.  Just when I think I could not love him more, I see how Ella wants him to hold her because she is scared of the lightening or when Braden is asking him to tuck him in bed at night!! That just melts my heart!!  I've truely been blessed and I am looking forward to seeing the many more blessings that are in store for us!! Happy Anniversary, Marc.  I love you lots!!!


I am one LuCkY girl!!!

We Heart Disney!


We had our annual summer vacation at Disney last week.  We stayed in the new Bay Lake Towers this time and it was a blast.  It was nice being within walking distance from Magic Kingdom and also getting to watch the fireworks from the top of our building.  We got to watch the fireworks every night
we were there! The kids loved being that close to the monorail.:)

This time we also went to Animal Kingdom and Epcot for the first time.  Epcot was definitely Braden's favorite.  I think I rode Mission  Space with him 4 times!!!  Animal Kingdom is also a lot cooler that Magic Kingdom, but I think Magic Kingdom is still my favorite.  Braden and Ella want to go to Holllywood Studios next time we go. 

The very first morning we had breakfast at Chef Mickeys.  I just love that character breakfast.  You get to see five characters upclose and get pictures with each of them.  This was Ella's first time and she could not wait for them to sign her book.  Before they even got to the table she had her book ready!  Emma got to go with us too!!

Spring Dance Recital 2010

Ella had her spring dance recital on Saturday.  This time she did two dances and she did GrEaT!!  We are all so proud of her.  She really loves dance and even teaches it to her baby dolls.  Her ballet dance was my favorite and Ella knew just what to do!  She even brought tears her my eyes (her daddy's too). It was such a beautiful song and so sweet to watch the girls dance to it! She is such a natural!  She kept asking when it was her turn to go on stage!! I hope she continues to LoVe dance! (Pictures are my Ella without bangs! Boy that was a challenge!)













Our First Broken Bone

Well, my sweet boy Braden has his first broken bone. On Friday he fell off a zipline, about 10 feet, while at a birthday party.  He broke his wrist on his right arm.  At first, I was not sure how hurt he was. I was really more worried about his back then anything because he landed on his back. He was crying of course, but Braden is very dramatic, so I was not sure how hurt he was.  We immediately left the party, and on the way home I knew a visit to the ER was in our near future.  He kept saying, "Mommy, please don't turn anymore, that hurts my arm."

So, after a quick ER visit (yes, it was suprisingly quick- they usually are a nightmare) we have a temporary cast, a CD of our broken wrist, and some tylenol with codine. Tomorrow, I will call the doctor first thing to get an appointment for a cast.  I am hoping for a waterproof one since Disney is only 6 weeks away!!! 

Braden is being such a trooper with this all, bue he has a high tolerance for pain!!  We still have two weeks left of baseball, but he will have to watch from the bench!  Karate testing is next Saturday, too!  But, we will have to see what the doctor says tomorrow. I will keep you updated!!
