Disney 2010

We celebrated Easter and Maci's (Kennedy's very best friend) 7th birthday in Disney World this year with the Lee's and the Hambrick's. This was Camryn's first trip to Disney and her first airplane ride! We left early Thursday afternoon and got home around 7:30 Monday night. It was such a great trip! The kids had so much fun and already want to go back!!!

She looks like she does this every other day doesn't she??? She was hilarious toting her carry on around!

Waiting to board. Kristen found these adorable outfits online and one of my friends at work made the matching flops. She made all four at the last minute...the night before we left! Thanks so much Shannon - they were a hit!


The kids all got to board a few minutes early and meet the pilots. Camryn just thought this was routine and on our connecting flight she marched herself right into the cockpit. The flight attendant started freaking out. It was hilarious!

Since we were the first to board we were on the plane a few extra minutes than usual. Camryn asked her Daddy when we were going to blast off!

Two excited girls...they have been counting down this day for a long time!



Finally at the Grand Floridian - our hotel! We got there just in time to grab dinner at Gasparilla Grill and Games and watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the restaurant patio!!!


Daddy and Camryn checking out Cinderella's castle from our balcony

Our first stop was Magic Kingdom of course. The 3-D shows were the best. The kids were so funny...they would reach out and try to grab everything that came to them. It really did seem like they were right there....pretty cool!





Kristen and Camryn

Our tour guide Steve would give me the heads up if I could or shouldn't ride the rides. I actually got to ride several of the rides at Magic Kingdom. One of the fast rides I of course couldn't ride and when Maci got off of it she told me I could not ride that one because it would make the baby spit up. I thought that was pretty logical thinking!


Here comes the parade!





After the morning at Magic Kingdom we headed over the Hollywood Studios. The girls and I made Hannah Montana CDs while the adults and boys rode Aerosmith Rockin Roller Coaster. All 4 girls had just come off of the Tower of Terror so they didn't complain too bad about not being able to ride this one. They all said they didn't like it but when we went back 2 days later they wanted to ride it again! Camryn chickened out at the last minute the 2nd go around and kept Mommy company.

These girls wanted to make silly faces in all the pictures.


Saturday our first stop was Epcot. The whole group (except me) rode Fast Track. Everyone but Camryn liked it and wanted to ride it again so as they rode we walked over to The Princess and the Frog and Tinkerbell's gardens. They were beautiful and I got some really good pictures!









Camryn was so proud of her autograph book and would look at it over and over. She remembered most of the signatures and would turn the pages saying the names.







Maci's birthday party at Cinderella's Castle



All of the princesses came except Snow White. We did not see her the whole trip! I told Kennedy she must have been sick and she said, "Princesses get sick?"

Everyone got a wishing star and a wand and they all made wishes together. Kennedy will never tell me what she wishes for...she would always wish for a baby in my tummy so now I am not sure what it is. Hopefully not another baby...her wishes do seem to come true!

Here she goes!

Beauty and the Beast
We spent Monday morning and most of the afternoon at Universal Studios. This was Todd's favorite!


Since there was hardly anything I could ride at Universal, Camryn and I spent most of the day at Seuss Landing. It was fun!

Kennedy's funnies:
Kennedy and Camryn have had a stomach virus since the middle of last week. I woke up with it this morning and after I threw up Kennedy asked me what I was doing - I don't guess she has ever seen me sick! I told her and she said, "Well, I almost called 911." It was hilarious. I can just hear it now...

Camryn's funnies:
Camryn asked me the other night if I was getting fat. I told her yes, why? She said, "I told Miss Stacey (her preschool teacher) that you were getting fat!"

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!!

We got two good snows this winter. One was a total surprise!

My camera battery died so I didn't get any picturs of the girls zooming down the slide covered in ice. They had a blast and Daddy had to catch them at the bottom.





Daddy had almost as much fun as the girls did. He loved throwing snowballs at them and even threw a few at me in my bath wrap and wet hair videoing from the back door!

Camryn did not tolerate the cold as well as Kennedy did. Once a snowball got thrown down the back of her jacket by guess who she was ready to come in for hot chocolate and warming up by the fire!

These are pictures from our surprise snow! The flakes were gigantic and so pretty!

I am so behind on downloading my pictures but I finally squeezed some time in today to get it done. These are some of the pictures that made me smile (the most!)...

Camryn is much more interested in Daddy's hair than the book she is supposed to be listening to!

Todd and I were watching tv one night and they were playing in Kennedy's room. They came in the living room and Kennedy said, "Look, I am Hannah Montana and Camryn is Miley Cyrus!"


We love to cuddle at this house...except for Daddy!


One day very soon this will be replaced by a real phone!

The girls came into the living room in their dress up dresses and house shoes and said they had "babies in their bellies." They each had stuffed a baby doll under their dress.

Kennedy had 80's night at SPARKS a few weeks ago. On the way home she asked me what cracking me up meant. I told her and asked why she was asking and she told me that all her teachers told her that her outfit was cracking them up!


Camryn always wears her sunglasses upside down...Kennedy did the same thing with hers and her pacifier too!


Eating smores we made in the fireplace. These are always such a mess but soooo yummy!

Father Daughter Ball










Kennedy had a Father Daughter Valentine Ball at school...her first of many dances I am sure! She loved getting all dolled up and was so beautiful. She wanted to have straight hair for the evening so that is what we did! They had such a good time and both looked stunning!



Each daughter got a princess crown and it matched her dress perfect. Here Kennedy is proudly displaying the box of chocolates she won as a door prize and the Valentine she and her Daddy made together.

Baby Girl 3


Here are some of the pictures from my ultrasound last month. We found out it's another girl! I figured they would do an ultrasound so I let Kennedy miss school and come to my appointment with me and Todd. Shortly after the tech announced it was a girl Kennedy said,"Why did God want to give me another mean sister?" Poor Camryn...she does not have a mean bone in her body! Kennedy was just really wanting a baby brother. Camryn wanted another sister, however! When I called to tell her it was a girl she said, "I guessed it!" She is so sweet! I am excited about having another girl. I will have lots of good helpers!!!
The baby looked perfect and was actually measuring a week ahead so they moved my due date up to June 6th!
