On a different note...



We went to the cemetary today and boom...the stone was there. Some of you wanted to see...I felt weird taking pictures.

SUPER SOCCER KICK




In all her glory.

Mom was asked to stand like that. I was a dragon. You had to be there.



She's pretty good, when she feels like it!

Circle of Life



Our backyard is a huge circle in a courtyard. It's perfect for little ones, no worries about cars or spooky people popping up on them...well as much. (I'm just plain protective, get over it.)

Said circle has always been our personal play place but people are starting to discover it. I try to not be territorial, but I might trip a few kids here and there.

Set the tent up yesterday...it was a hoot.



It's a cutesie red lady bug tent with a purple princess blanket over the top. Wouldn't Tyler's dad be proud.

The Pink Nightmare Comes Alive...

Here is a video of Jenny terrorizing the neighborhood on her new bike.



What have I unleashed on the world?

Pink Nightmare

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF. Thank you very much. I just have to share my newest adventure which is my birthday present from my husband and Lexi.

Please allow yourself to laugh and be jealous, because that is one sweet ride.

Bibbity Bobbity Boo

Does anyone want to volunteer to come be our housekeeper, table server, assistant table server and just all around events coordinator?

What can I say...the trip rocked our world. We left Thursday and everything went smoothly....Travis' brother generously gave us tickets through his work and they were standby and we got on the first flight no problems! Fly Jet Blue or you are nuts if you don't!

We got to the rental car and got a sweet upgrade. Drove to our hotel, The Disney All Stars Movies Resort. I go to check in and the lady looks at my reservation and almost did a cartwheel. Apparantly the hotel was full and we had won a little lottery that gave us a room at the Deluxe Resort...The Polynesian. Get this...I said, "No." At first. I thought it wouldn't be as much fun for Lexi...the lady looked at me like I had crazy written on the old forhead. She kept saying to the lady on the phone at the Polynesian, "Yes, I did tell her that! I know!" So I finally got Trav's attention and he basically took over and said, "My wife has no idea what she is saying." The Poly was right on the monorail and that's what got me to change my mind. So we stayed at a sweet Resort and I basically can't stop saying..."I can't believe I said no."

We were blessed right and left this trip. We had a blast at the park, fireworks on the beach of the resort, we rented a boat and just being in the sun was enough to never want to go home! It was pretty dreamy.

We boarded the Disney Magic Saturday and we immediately found our family and that's when the real party started. To see the faces of my nieces and nephews who had no clue we were coming was priceless. Lexi's face brought tiny tears because she finally understood what we meant by Dinsey boat. She loved the club the most and playing with her cousins. The beaches were amazing. Travis was the snorkel king. You couldn't find him for hours at a time because he was playing Discovery Channel with the camera and a barracuda. My favorite was Castaway Cay. It was Disney's private island and we were the third family off the boat and we walked onto a deserted paradise. No other people, island music and smell of barbeque. We got a nice spot on the beach with a hammock. After a while the smell of barbeque turned into the smell of charred skin. For some reason sun block works in all parts of the world except the Carribean. (Imagine me and my skin and I had a dermatologist appt. yesterday too. My doc had words for me.)

The only bad part of the trip besides Dan's migraine was the flight home. All I can say is there was a lot of puke all around us. We walked off the plane and there were barf bags and stains all over the place. We couldn't get off that plane fast enough!

We loved our trip and it was JUST what the doctor ordered!!

Hope you all had a MAGICAL week!
