Happy Snowman!

Hopefully we received our last round of snow.

I am over this cold!

 

We haven't left the house in days.  Temps have been extremely cold!

Luckily today warmed up into the 40s. 
But that didn't stop the boys from building a snowman - not sure how long he will last. :)

It was so bright out there!  Kris had to wear my sunglasses :)

  

We had to improvise with materials :)

Those are all lids off  my spices.  And celery for his nose :)

 

The boys love the movie Frozen.  So naturally, they named him Olaf! :)



Happenings Around Here

Touring Krispy Kreme with fellow Cub Scouts - Levi included :)

 

They each got to make their own donut.

 

Last Friday was dress like a conductor day at school. 

The only thing we had was his conductor's hat we gave as favors from his 3rd birthday!!

 and luckily found a tshirt with a train on it ;)

 

Later that morning I signed on facebook, and saw the school had posted this :)

 

Friday evening we went over to our friends house for pizza.

And the boys loved playing with Caleb and Joshua.

 

My sweet baby

I could eat.him.up!

 

They crack me up in their little-old-man robes :)

 

Jacob thinks it's funny when Levi falls asleep :)

 

Hope you're staying warm!

This winter is downright crazy!

Whirlwind Weekend {Final Day}

Before heading to the airport, we stopped by the Lego store because Luke loves him so Legos!

 

 

 

 

 

 

For Levi's souvenir, he picked out a package of planes from the movie Planes :)

Once we were on the plane, he got them out.  Is he not the cutest! :)

 

 

We had a great time! 



Whirlwind Weeknd {Part 2}

We went to Downtown Disney on Sunday while Beth and her bunch went to surprise some friends who pastor a church just a few miles away.

 

I'm so happy we went to Disney on Saturday because the weather on Sunday was much hotter!

 

 

I could not love this picture more if I tried!  :)

 

 

Building Legos

 



 

 

Later we all went to the pool.  Swimming in February was a first!

 

The kids (minus Levi) loved the slide!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We then went out to dinner and received a nice compliment from a nearby table saying the kids were so well behaved and were doing so good.  We only had 1 meltdown the whole trip which to be honest, I was expecting more.  ;)

 

After dinner we grabbed some ice cream.

We drove passed this giant ice cream cone all weekend.  

Jacob is just like his Papaw and loves him some ice cream.

 

 

Good times were had!

Whirlwind Weekend {Part 1}

At the beginning of the year, we tossed around the idea of Beth, John, Kris and myself going somewhere for Beth and Kris' 40th birthdays since they are one day apart.

 

However, childcare didn't work out, so we decided to take them with us. 

We decided on Orlando and go to Disney for one day.  Because that's practical ;)

 

Friday after Jacob and Kate got out of school, we loaded up and headed to the airport. 

The kids did so good patiently waiting.  But as you can tell, they had distractions :)

 

 

I knew Levi would fall asleep on the plane.  He doesn't nap, so this was definitely a long day for him.

 

 

As we were taking the ferry over to Magic Kingdom it started raining.  And we thought, the one and only day we're here, and it's raining.  But seriously, as we were stepping off the ferry, it stopped.  Thank you Jesus!  And the temperature was perfect!

 

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  There's a lot!

I asked my blog buddy Sarah to design some shirts for the kiddos to wear.

I then printed onto iron-on paper.  Easy peasy.  Didn't she do a great job!

 

  

 

 

 

Someone started getting tired.

 

 

I cannot believe he fell asleep here.  It was so loud in this restaurant.

 

Luke Buddy pretending to sleep :)

 

We rented strollers, however, not sure they'll fit next time ;)

 

Sorry Aunt B!  Had to :)

 

The boys with the birthday boy!

 

 

The birthday kids with the munchkins :)

 

We were winding down for the night and decided to make our way back home.

We parted ways with Beth and them because we each had to go to a different store for a souvenir.

As we were walking out, I noticed a sign that had a 10min wait for Magician Mickey.

I said let's go see what this is about because Jacob would love to see a magic show.

I asked what it was, and it was to meet Mickey himself!  I said let's do it because for whatever reason, the first time we went, we didn't see Mickey :(

 

We knew Levi would be scared - the boy does not like any person/thing in a giant costume!

But Kris scooped him up and he actually high fived him on the way out. 

We didn't buy the professional pic, and the two that I took had either Jacob or Levi with their eyes closed!  And I had to tease Kris for putting his arm around Mickey :)

 

We then walked out as the parade was going on and stood right outside the building where we just met Mickey.  The boys were loving it!  Then we turn and there's a lady with 2 Mickey dolls handing to the boys saying Mickey saw you waiving to him in the parade and wanted you to have these!

I seriously got teary eyed!  I'm not sure why!!  Maybe because it was incredibly sweet and it just seemed so magical (cheesy, I know!).  Talk about the right place at the right time!

 

Then she came back and said, Mickey would like to sign them for you!  Say what?!

 

 

 

Best day ever, according to Jacob.  :)
