Boy is it good to be home!!
























So we finally got back from Flordia Saturday night around 11pm. What a fun 12 hour drive - NOT!! I guess it could have been worse. I should look at the bright side of things - We could have stopped six times instead of five, or Taylor and Aidan could have whinned for 2 hours instead of 1, you know what I mean.











This vacation was better that I could have imagined. We had no major problems and Brian did not get called back to TN, because of work. Yeah God!! Both of the kids enjoyed it so much. They smiled and laughed so much that it makes your heart feel good. I really enjoyed 2 weeks of just MY family and no other interuptions. My Mom left a few days before we did, so we had the kids all to ourselves. It rained 1 1/2 days the entire two weeks and the rains their are sprinkles compared to TN rains. Every morning Taylor was left a small gift from Tinker Bell. This is such a cute idea. It was magical to her.
















We went to Magic Kingdowm 4 1/2days, MGM 1 day, Animal Kingdom 1 1/2 days, Epocot 1 day. We never got to a park before 10:30 and usually stayed until 7pm. We were never in a rush and saw almost everything in the park. We went to Magic Kingdom's Halloween party. Aidan stayed at the condo with Mom, so we were able to just have time with Taylor. I dressed up as Snow White and Taylor want as Tinker Bell. Brian dressed up like a Greenbay Packer fan. I was stopped at least a dozen times to sign autographes and take pictures. After the first few times and when the lines started forming I began to panic. I was like--- Are these parents for real, I am here with my little girl. I tried to smile and talk like Snow White, but it was a little frustrating. I fiannly decided at 11pm to get my face painted so they would realize it wasn't me. I know I sound like a grouch, but I really did secreattly enjoy it. BTW- You can not sign autographes. I got in trouble for being nice.



















We spent Two nights in Daytona Beach. The first Day felt like a Hurricane was coming through. It was so fun to watch the kids play in the ocean. The waves were crazy big, so I was a nervous mom. Taylor loved it from the beginning, but Aidan was more cautious. Finally, he decided to put those feet in and enjoy the waves. We ate at Bubba Gump's for my Mom's b-day. I love me some Bubba Gumps.


Life has been non-stop since we have got home and I would not have expected anything else. I am working on getting an advice list together about Disney. Hopefully I will get it completed in the next few days. Back to reality and my my own Magic Kingdom---- HOME!!

Leaving Disney Soon

So we have spent 2 magical weeks in Florida. On our way home tomorrow. Not looking forward to the long drive home. I will type a long blog about the trip when I get home. Here are some pic's.
Brian went to Disney Halloween Party dressed as Packer Fan. What a Daddy's girl!!

Enjoying Disney World!!


Hello from Orlando, Florida!!!

We are 5 days into our vacation and getting sad that it is almost half way over. We are blessed to be able to spend two weeks at the most wonderful place on earth. We have visited Magic Kingdom twice, EPCOT and MGM. We even stayed at the resort one day and relaxed. The pools are warm and the kids are loving them. Taylor had her singing debut at the pool karaoke party last night. She sang as loud as she could --- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I was so proud of my baby girl. My husband and I are enjoying the spa's--ALONE. Having my Mom here to help out with the kids is priceless. She has been very gracious and watched our kids so we can go out to dinner and enjoy some alone time. We went to City Walk one night and ate at Pat O'Breins. YUMMY!


We are going to the parks for around 6 hours a day, so no one gets to exhausted. We are still tired, but it is so worth it. Every morning when Taylor wake's up she goes around the condo and looks to see what Tinker Bell brought her. She loves it and could care less what it is, but loves the idea. The Pixie Dust is always there -- and it is SUGAR.. but, she has no clue. Innocence is so precious.
We are off to Animal Kingdom tomorrow. We spend Sunday and Monday in Datona Beach. Can't wait to see my babies play in the sand and enjoy the ocean. Aidan and Taylor are just the best kids and are mu super troopers. Did I mention that Taylor rode the Tower of Terror. Yes, my four year old is a brave little girl.

Look for more pictures to come throughout the week!! Miss you all and can't wait to share our vacation with you.

BUSY BEE.....


I have been so busy, I almost forgot I had a blog. Is that not so sad. The past few week s have been full of fun yet exausting outings. My Mom came in on the 1st from Arizona and she is staying until we go to FL. We went to the circus with The Wilder's on Thursday. My friend Saundra and I took the kids to Chuckee Cheese, Monday. Spent all day Saturday at a scapbooking camp, where I made 20 pages, that are super cool, met some friends downtown and we hung out at Rippy's on the patio. I am such a patio girl. My cousin Kim came in from Portland, OR and we went to Macorroni Grill for Dinner. She is currently visiting family in KY, but will be back on Thursday. Cleaned, worked, cleaned, planned a trip and so on.

I have MOPS tomorrow and hopefully a pedicure and manicure. I have a yard sale planned with my friend Beth for Thursday and Friday. I am so dreading it. Although, it will be fun to visit with Beth and not have kid's.

I must say that I am so super excited that we leave for Orlando on Saturday. I will admit I am totally dreading the drive. My mom will be driving with us, so it will be a very full car. We will be gone for 2 weeks. We will be staying in a 2 bedroom condo very close to Disney. The resort is super nice and I can't wait to go down the water slide with Taylor. We are planning to go to the Halloween Party at Disney, visit all four parks and go to Datona Beach for two nights. Brian and I are going to Universal Studio's for their fright night and to ride scary rides. I will share pic's with everyone when we get back.

I WILL FINALLY AGREE WITH ALL OF YOU THAT SAY I AM WAY TO BUSY!!!
Hope everyone has a great few weeks and enjoy this fall weather.
