Disney World

This was so sweet. The night before we left for Disney, we were up late packing and getting the last things ready to go and I came up the stairs to find Jacob asleep on the steps in his underpants. :)

We were really thankful that Grandma came with us. We tend to wander around and not do a whole lot when we're on our own, so with Bobbie there, she knew all of the best rides to go on and always got us fast passes for those rides. She may be hard to keep up with, but she made sure that we made the most of every day at the park. If it weren't for her I wouldn't have gotten to go on the Tower of Terror or some of the other rides that Jeremy is too chicken to go on. :) (Jeremy will be pissed when he reads that!) Thanks Grandma!!

This group, Mulch, Sweat N' Shears was in Hollywood Studios. They were a riot! If you ever go to Disney, you MUST see them. The guy in the red shirt is the band's "Manager" and he had us cracking up. He picked Bobbie out of the crowd to go up and rock out with the band (or in Jeremy and Aidan's words...jam out with her clam out). We laughed so hard at some the the things this guy was saying to people in the crowd. :)

Animal Kingdom was amazing! We didn't spend a whole lot of time there, and I wish we could have gone back, but I'm sure this won't be our last Disney trip. Thanks to Bobbie (again) we got to do the Safari Ride twice - with no wait. Rudy kept saying "I want to ride the bus with the aminals again!!!"

On our last day we went by bus and boat to tour some of the resorts. My favorite BY FAR was the Fort Wilderness Resort. It was gorgeous...and surprise, surprise - it's the resort where you go if you bring your RV. But really though, it was so peaceful...and that's just what you need after a day at a Disney park. :)
The kids were able to take pony rides, which they loved. Rudy's pony's name was Snickers and I can't remember Jake's pony's name...that's what I get for waiting a month to post a blog. :)

It was such a great trip. We could not have asked for better weather. Even the drive to and from Florida was a lot of fun. The kids were great and ask (almost on a daily basis) if we can go back. I am so thankful that we were able to go and look forward to going again in a few years...maybe even in an RV!!! :) Rudy was just a couple inches too short to go on some of the best rides and he's the one that (I think) will love the fast rides. Jeremy and Jacob both prefer to sit the scary ones out, so Rudy better like the roller coasters because I need a riding buddy.

Better Late Than Never....Happy Easter!!!!

We've had a VERY busy couple months and it doesn't look like that's gonna change for a while, but I'm glad to be getting back to putting up some pictures on the blog. Sorry it's been so long!!!

Easter was fantastic!!! Every year the kids to a scavenger hunt to find their Easter Baskets and it's so much fun to watch them run around the house gathering clues (at the point it's just pictures, but they'll get harder as they get older).

We had lots of fun coloring Easter Eggs. It went from a nice, clean, organized event - to the kids painting themselves. They had so much fun and Steven is too cute. He just wants to do whatever Jake and Rudy do.

I think Jacob got to do three Easter egg hunts this year. Between school and home and friends we are loaded up on Easter candy. I think I will give it out for Halloween. :) hahaha

Killer Boots, Man...............what's that from????

I learned how to use a scanner!

Jake wrote this letter to Jeremy a while back and it's been hanging on the wall down in the office. Since I learned how to use a scanner today, I thought I'd share it with everyone (and show off my scanning skills).

You'll notice that Jake made the cookie for Jeremy's birthday, which is on April 18th and the letter was written on October 2. :)

Love my boys

These pictures were taken on Valentines Day. Those boys are all the Valentines Day lovin I need. Rudy fell alseep in my lap after we rocked in the rocking chair for a little while - which doesn't happen often, so when he does fall alseep with me, it's extra special.

We Love Going to Hershey Park!!!

We made another trip up to Hershey Park a couple weeks ago...this time with a hitchhiker we picked up along the way....grandma!!!

This time we took the one hour trolley tour. I would highly recommend it. It was very educational (in a fun way)and they trolley guy (I'm sure he has a title, but at this moment, I have no idea what that might be) gave out LOTS of candy.
