Disney World

 We are all packed up and ready to go!  I can't believe how much stuff it takes to make a family trip these days.  Anyhow we are excited to spend some time with Mickey and Minnie:)

 All ready on the airplane

Hanging out on the patio watching the crazy rain storm on our first night.

 So excited to finally make it to Disney World

 Our first ride had to be Buzz Lightyear of course.

 Talen was so excited to get his autograph book signed by Buzz.

 Even more exciting he signed his hat too!

 Taken a break out of the heat with Honey and Captian

 Addison finally got to see Minnie Mouse for the first time:)

 Had a great first day at the park riding some fun rides.  Talen even road on Space Mountain...woohoo!

 What better way to finish the day then a dip in the pool to cool off.

 Day 2 we hung out at the hotel and enjoyed a relaxing morning.

 The timeshare had great activities for the kids:) 

 That afternoon we went to Animal Kingdom

 Our first stop was the Lion King show but right after we got hit by a huge rain storm.  So glad we packed our ponchos but we still got soaked.  

 Day 3 Jay and Talen went with my parents to Hollywood Studios to ride some big rides.  He was so excited to go on Toy Mania again.

 Addison and I stayed back at the hotel and had girl time:)

 Talen loved Star Tours 

 Later that evening Jay and I went to Hollywood Studios on a date night and he took me to Beauty and the Beast.

 We had a romantic dinner in our little 50's car at the drive-in

 We finished the night off watching the Fantasmic show

Can't believe the next time we go back to Disney World we will have 3 kids.  Love making all these memories with my family and can't wait to make many more.

Love this gal!

  You know those moments where there is someone there for you when you need them the most...well this is my someone:)  This is my friend Angie that I first met when we moved here to Virginia.  She and I hit it off from the start and haven't stopped.  She has taken me around and shown me all the hot spots and what I need to do while I am here.  Every time we get together I have so much fun and wish there were more hours in the day.  We have the funniest conversations and there is never a dull moment:)  She is moving to New Zealand next month and I can't believe the time is finally here.  It's not going to be the same here without her but I am so happy for her and her family's new adventure.  She will always be a special part of my life and I know we will live by each other again someday.  Love you Angie:)

Fun day on the water:)

 Jay took Talen out on the boat again with Bob and Sharon.  This time he got to ride on the viper tube because the water was warm enough.  He had so much fun and can't wait to go again. 

Talen and Sharon on the boat:)

Happy Anniversary!

Well babe it's been 7 years since we tied the knot and now we are expecting our 3rd child.  We have been through so much together and I love you more now then the day I married you.  I am so proud of your accomplishment and can't wait to see what you do next.  Our kids are so lucky to have you as their dad and we love you so much!

First accident

 Talen has been doing such a great job on his bike this year.  He went out for a ride with his dad and was going a little to fast down the hill and fell over.  He didn't let it keep him down he got back on and road the rest of the way home.  I am just thankful it wasn't worse then a few cuts and bruises.  

Making cookies with daddy

 One thing that is always in our house is chocolate chip cookies.  Talen loves helping out whenever it comes to making cookies:)

 Oops!  

Second attempt was a success:)

 Now those are some big cookies boys:)

Growing up

My baby girl is growing up so fast and I don't know where the time has gone.  She is at such a fun age and has the funniest personality.  She wants to be a big girl and do everything on her own.  I am loving that she lets me do her hair:)  

Talen's Preschool Graduation

 For Talen's graduation they put on a little program and sang all the nursery rhymes they had learned during the year.  Talen got to play the black sheep in Baa Baa Black Sheep.  I was so excited because he actually sang the song and he never does...yay!!!!  

 Talen and Evan being silly:)

 Walking down to receive his diploma:) 

 Good job buddy!

 Talen with his teachers Mrs. Meador and Mrs. R

 Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you buddy!  You did such a good job in school this year and we love you so much:)

Soccer time!

 Talen and his team having their snack to get some energy for the rest of the game.  It's almost the end of the season and we are ready to get out of the heat.
