Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom was yesterday. We were too stinkin' tired when we got home to update the blog. We had a blast and saw a lot.

We even picked up a little Mickey Mouse.


Isabella (and Bryce) got to meet Pluto and get his autograph almost as soon as we got to the park.



After lunch, we met Cinderella....



...and Belle...


...and Princess Aurora.


Then two munchkins crashed out. She didn't even wake up when we asked if she wanted ice cream.


So while the little ones were asleep, Grandma and PopPop stayed with them, while Ken and I and Linda and Mike went on the Dumbo ride.


They woke up while we were gone, so then we went on the Carousel.



Isabella waiting for Mommy's favorite part of the whole day.


The Spectromagic parade. I love this parade.




Mike chillin' out around parade time----before the Dole Whip melted all over the place. Yes, we had to go get Dole Whip between the parade and the Fireworks.


Isabella watching the fireworks. She's convinced that Uncle Mike turns the fireworks on.


Today is an easy lazy day and tomorrow is more parks. We're heading up to Daytona area to visit Ken's friend, Stuart, and family.

Disney Hollywood Studios

So we made it to Orlando yesterday. The resort is gorgeous. Sometime this week I will post pictures of our unit and our view. Right now we are recovering from a day at Disney's Hollywood Studios. It was definitely a lot of walking. Tomorrow we plan on visiting Magic Kingdom. Right now, we're enjoying the fireworks from Epcot from the comfort of the living room of our unit.

Highlights from today:

• Watching my mother-in-law tooling around on her rented scooter
• seeing Isabella get excited about seeing Mickey Mouse
• Bryce squeeling in delight at anything and everything
• watching Isabella during Fantasmic and covering her eyes (but still looking through her fingers) at the scary parts but staring and smiling in wonder at Mickey Mouse
• watching the wonderful and amazing artistry in the show Fantasmic

Here are the few photos that were taken today:

Hopefully we'll remember to take more pictures tomorrow.

Disney World here we come!

Notice our new background? We leave in exactly one week to head to Florida and Walt Disney World. Isabella is quite excited to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy. And of course, Cinderella and Snow White. I'll try to post pics a couple times while we're down there.

Catch up

I need to catch up with a few pictures.

Bryce got a new coat, mostly because he's too long to use the carseat cover. He loves being bundled into the coat. Not so much about getting hooked into the carseat though.


Three days after the big snow dump, this finally showed up to clear our street.


See our icicles?!?


Then the second snow dump came and they brought this out. I'm not sure how much good it did since it couldn't get up the hill.


Bryce tries to hold his own bottle now. It doesn't usually work though.


And he tries to steal his Daddy's drink.


This is what we wanted him to do at night for about 5 days straight. But luckily his two little teeth finally cut through and he's sleeping much better.


My two sweet munchkins.


These were the icicles that formed on our church building. That big one is actually connected to the ground/snow below it.

Happy Valentine's Day

Four years ago, we started dating and were married 9 months later. Its been an awesome ride so far. I look forward to many more Valentine's with you.

I Love You Ken.
