A million years ago.....

Look at those faces....This was for Andrew's 1st Birthday! Miranda was 6 months old...aren't they the sweetest thing eve.r. I miss those days...and then again I am grateful for their current independence. Time is seriously flying by...Andrew is almost 6 and girl is about 6 months away from 5...

The highlight of Spring break

There were many fun things we did while we were at the beach for 7 days, but I would have to say my favorite thing was eating breakfast out on the hill and watching the kids play on the playground.  We would hop over our balcony grab our beach chairs and a table and enjoy coffee, ham and eggs, and the fresh air.  It was amazing!
My babies are growing up, last year they did not even attempt the pole or monkey bars...this year the pole was there favorite thing  and we tried the monkey bars but they are still too tough!
Payton loved the tire...the big kids would spin him till he was dizzy.....
Cheese mom!
My pretty pretty princess!

Disneyland!!!

Look at that excited face....it's as if he has been there done that one million times...Anyhow way back on spring break we had a little beach vacation and made our way to the magic kingdom.  In fact we even had a real life princess with us:
Yes, ladies and gentleman...I introduce to you the beautiful Belle!!!!
TA-DA!!!!!!!
Here's the crew on the train...that was my favorite ride....:):)
Disney is serious business people....
Ha, here's another excited face from Andrew...I know he had a ton of fun, I truly have no idea why I don't have any pictures of him smiling.  In fact we went on a ton of rides, ate at the Rainforest Cafe, and we even stayed till after ten....we closed the night with fireworks and the Small World ride....great fun!!!
