Disney Breakfast and Blizzard Beach Part 2





Here's the water park pictures! Blizzard Beach was a lot of fun! They have a little tikes area that was perfect for the kids. We then went down the lazy river! I loved that, I could've stayed on that the whole day!! We took a couple of waterproof disposable cameras, I have more pics from the rides we went on. The only thing is we didn't get the pics on disc, sorry, but we do have few with the digital!

Disney Breakfast and Blizzard Beach Part 1

While everyone was here we decided to take a day trip to Orlando! We had a fun character breakfast at Cape May Cafe at the Disney Beach Club Resort after that we went to Blizzard Beach. I'll get those pics up on part 2, they wouldn't download here ( I think there were too many). Braxton has never met any of the Disney characters before and we just had too let him experience it! He was great with them until Goofy started chasing after him, he liked the other characters, just not Goofy anymore! Abby loved the characters!! When you've got a 3 & a 4 year old, you just never know how the whole character thing is going to go down! Thank goodness it was a hit!!!

Abby with her Papaw! She was so good about waiting for the characters to come to our table!




Me and Abby! We left Ashley home with my mom! It was nice to have some Abby time to ourselves.




Braxton and Abby with Dale. These characters are so cute, but it's so funny because they don't talk! They can't talk! That has got to be the hardest part of being one of these characters!




Abby loved Minnie!





Here we are altogether with Chip! Now we're off to the water park!!

4th of July

Hi, everyone! I'm going to be making up for lost time. Hope everyone had a good fourth! We had Jeff's dad and sister with her son come down and visit us for the weekend! It was really fun, especially for Abby to have her cousin to play with! She was so excited to be having a "sleepover"! It was a nice visit!



Aunt Kim with Abby and Braxton. They went with our neighbors to play tee ball on the tennis courts! Can you tell it was a bit toasty outside!


To cool down we went to our neighbors pool. Here's Abby swimming to her Papaw! She can really swim. When we moved here I made sure we took private one on one lessons and she loves to swim! She loves her goggles!



Braxton and Abby riding on our swing set. This set will actually be coming down soon, and we'll be putting up another one. Poor Jeff has the job of getting the other one up, but this one has to go. It's been through a couple of hurricanes with the previous owners and it's showing it's wear and tear.



With the 4th of July comes fireworks! With fireworks comes kids that don't want to go to bed. So, they stay up. Either they fall asleep on their own or go to bed when the fireworks stop. We waited till they stopped, very late!

All smiles!

Ashley is smiling away now. Too cute hu? I have to admit that she smiles more for me than for Jeff. We might have a mommy's girl on our hands. Anyhow, she's in her carseat because we had just dropped Abby off at school, and she was just smiling like crazy in her seat.

A visit from Auntie and Grandma

Last week Auntie Diane and Grandma came down for a visit to meet Ashley, little did they know that according to Abby they really came to visit and play with her. It was such a nice time and Abby really had a fun time playing tea party and baking with her Auntie. Thank.goodness for nap times because that's when it was Ashley time for them.





Auntie brought a cute cupcake mix with her for her and Abby to make together. They got to baking pretty much right away. Abby loved getting to eat the oops'. (the drops of batter and frosting that somehow got on the counter, hmmm)



Ohhhhhhh! We got an oops to eat! Yummy!





This is where a lot of oops' bites happened!




Showing Grandma all my pretty princess dresses!




All of us girls out to lunch.

Mother's Day

Mother's day was very special this year because we also had Ashley's Baby Dedication done at church in the morning. It was all very sweet. Both girls were perfect during the whole thing. You just hope that there's no crying or fussing from either one, and they were wonderful. The day was very nice and relaxing. Here's just a few pictures to remember the day. Hope that all you mommies had a nice day!






Mimi and Poppy shared the day with us and were also recognized during the dedication.

I know it's been a while...

Sorry, that it's been a while since I've posted new pics of Ashley. We've been adjusting to having a little one in the house, and I think we've finally got things running pretty smoothly now. I am going to be honest, having the second child is fairly easy, you know what to do and what to expect. It's getting the whole routine down that's hard. Anyhow, it's taken us 6 weeks, but we're feeling fairly confident now. I can even get the sit-n-stand stroller in and out of the car a lot easier now, woo-hoo!!



Here's Ashley at 5 1/2 weeks old. She's already giving us those sweet gummy smiles. Too cute, but too fast to catch with the camara.

Abby and Ashley in there PJ's the other morning. Ashley likes to look at her big sister.

Just a sweet picture!

Just done with her bathtime! She loves her baths!

I just had to get a picture of this. Jeff and the girls all asleep in the family room. Pretty cute, hu?
