Weekend < 3

My sweet nephew turned 3 years old. Friday, we celebrated his birthday on Petit Jean Mountain @ the pool. Eli is an ADORABLE little boy and I LOVE him bunches! He tries so hard to keep up with his big brother and sisters...  He is Fearless. He was jumping off the diving board & going down the slide all by himself.   Happy Birthday Eli! 

We LOVE you!

I had to work from home today {YUCK} so the kids & I have been lounging ALL day. The ice cream truck came by the house and we were outside ordering popsicles in our PJ's. hopefully, the neighbors didn't see us! HA HA

  

Adrianna & i started watching 'glee'. LOVE it.

We've spent the day snuggled up, watching our 'glee' episodes trying to get caught up before the new season starts...  

in fact, it's playing {again} as i blog, Adrianna wants to finish all the episodes tonight!

Cocoa Beach

After 5 days @ Disney World we decided to leave the city and head to Cocoa Beach. The weather was perfect and surprisingly it wasn't packed like i expected. We had our own little spot

The tide were pretty high so Andrew didn’t venture out very far. Every time he would see a really high tide come he would run back to the beach… so he & I spent most of the time sitting on the beach building sand castles.

Jeremy & Adrianna LOVED playing in the waves... They went way out in the ocean. We would have liked to stay a few more days...  There was just too much to do & not enough time. Vacations just aren't long enough. 

My beautiful family < 3

At one point they were all playing in the water and I was kicked back in the sand watching them... thinking how truly blessed I am.

Farewell Florida

Disney World - Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios was my FAVORITE park! You really need 2 days to see/do it all.

The most thrilling rides in Disney World was here… The Twilight Tower of Terror & Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. We LOVED the Lights, Motors, Action Extreme Stunt Show!!

“Honey I shrunk the Kids” Movie set brought back LOTS of childhood memories. I could go on and on… most definitely want to go back!!

Minnie Mouse

 the Chipmunks

 Group shot

 My American Idol

 The highlight of Andrew's day... his smile was priceless!

Linda & Isaac were chosen to be volunteers at the Backlot Tour. They were the leading stars in an Action Scene and it was Hilarious! Since we were with them we got special front row seats!

Disney World - Epcot

Someone you know is always playing in Orlando… We realized one of Jeremy’s friends from the hunting lease was in Orlando with his wife, grandchildren {who happen to be the same ages as our kids}, sister, brother-n-law and their grandsons {who were 16 and 14 years old} Talking about a BLESSING! Adrianna had someone to ride the BIG rides with & Andrew had a little buddy to hang out with. Even better, they go to Disney World all the time so they knew the fastest way to navigate through the parks & the best shows!




Had to take a picture in front of the BIG golf ball

 Anna & Daisy

 Anna & Stitch

 Andrew & Noah {looking cool}

 Yes, they are in a Shark's mouth and seem to be happy about it!

  Daffy Duck & Andrew

I believe that was the hottest day of our whole trip… so we were HAPPY to get back to the hotel and hang out in the pool!

Our view from the balcony 

POOL BOUND

Adrianna LOVED the water slide! She even talked me & Andrew into going down it a few times ;)

 My kids could live in the pool...

Didn’t take after their daddy…he preferred to kick back pool side!

Disney World - Animal Kingdom

We spent all day Monday at the Animal Kingdom & it was wild!

Andrew & Adrianna LOVED looking at all the different animals. We took tons of pictures hence the picture overload

Flik



I had to upload this picture because I LOVE flamingos and those babies {grey hairballs} are so stinking cute!

Goofy

Baloo the Bear and Andrew were instant buddies. Notice how Andrew and the monkey have the same color hair ;)

 They both loved the monkey too

 Andrew's new girl friend

 Andrew, Minnie and Anna

we ran into these guys again & they remembered us! LOL 

Thumper loves thumping & Adrianna

Adrianna rode Expedition Everest all by herself two times in a row by going thru the single rider line... She is one brave girl!

 After a long day with the animals, I felt it was only approiate to sit by the pool and have a funky monkey!
